Chapter 152

Chapter 152

Gordon had been restless ever since he was denied entry to the hospital in the morning. Even after

coming back home, he sent a lot of his men to scout for intel, but still he got no news until it was

nighttime. One of his men quickly came in, and he asked, "What's the situation?"

His underling said, "Miss McKinney has woken up, but her baby is…"

Gordon was worried that would happen. He slammed his walking stick against the ground. "What's

wrong with the baby? Tell me!"

"It's gone."

"What?"

The underling continued, "Miss McKinney lost too much blood. The doctor could only save one person,

and Master Aidan picked Miss MicKinney."

Gordon's face fell, and he roared, "That idiot boy!" He flew into a rage, but then he thought of

something and whispered, "Are you sure the baby's gone? It's already been seven months, so it should

have taken form. Is it really dead?"

The underling nodded. "It was a stillborn. The doctor couldn't do anything."

Gordon slammed his walking stick against the ground again and sighed. He then waved his underling

off. "Fine. You may leave."

Sienna came downstairs slowly after the underling left. "She's awake?" she asked coolly.

Gordon looked at her and sat down on the couch. "You did this, didn't you?" He looked upset.

Sienna smiled, but she did not deny it. She sat across from him. "Do you have proof?"

"What do you want? You know how important the baby is, and…" Gordon hissed, "Aidan will know it's

you. You didn't have to go this far."

Sienna's smile faded. "Don't blame this on me. Aidan and Georgina are going to get married. There's

no need to keep the baby around. What for? So it can grow up and fight for the inheritance like Aidan

did?"

Gordon said impatiently, "It's been ages. Let it go! And I've taken Anna in just like you asked. What

more do you want? And it's not Aidan's fault Justin got into an accident. I just don't understand why you

have to pin all the blame on him!"

"He took what belonged to my son. Why can't I pin all the blame on him?"

"Justin got into the car crash when I needed him most. What choice did I have? I need someone to

inherit the family."

Sienna sneered. "Did you f*ck around because you knew Justin would get into that car crash?"

Gordon said nothing, but he had a dark look on his face.

Sienna said, "So what if Aidan knows? He won't do anything to me. He needs to keep the status quo

around for a while longer. The scandal was just something to keep him in line."

"He's now engaged to the Crossley girl. He'll be uncontrollable."

Sienna mocked, "Not like you can keep him under control even without the marriage with Georgina."

She stopped talking and was about to leave, but then she saw Justin behind her. She was shocked.

"Justin when did you—"




Justin smiled. "I heard you guys talking about Leanna, so I came. Good to hear that she's fine." He

pushed himself away.

…

Zoe came back and saw Leanna sitting on the bed, spacing out. She went over to her friend. "Nana."

Leanna smiled at her. "What is it?"

"The doctor said you'll be fine if you can get through the night. You'll be out of the woods."

Leanna nodded. A while later, she asked, "Is Queenie still under detention?"

"The cops let her go. They don't have enough evidence to charge her, but they banned her from

leaving the country."

"I need your phone for a minute, Zoe."

Zoe lent Leanna her phone, but she frowned. "You think she's gonna come to see Ron? I don't think so.

She denied having anything to do with the case."

Leanna said, "I still have to tell her about this. After that, it's on her." Ron did risk his life for her this

time, and she decided to let bygones be bygones.

Leanna called Queenie's number. It went through, and Queenie said impatiently, "I told you I have

nothing to do with it! What do you want, Zoe?"

"It's me," Leanna said softly.

Queenie did not expect Leanna to call her. She froze for a moment. "What do you want?" she asked

cautiously.



Leanna said, "I just wanted to tell you that Ron's badly hurt. He's in the hospital. You should see him."

Queenie was quiet for a while. "I have no idea what you just said, and I don't know who Ron is."

"Suit yourself. He told me he's the one behind everything, and he got hurt because of me, so I'm

putting everything behind me now."

Queenie hung up without saying another word.

Zoe said, "Told you she won't come. That b*tch thinks she's so good just because she studied abroad.

All she does is lip service."

Leanna handed the phone back and smiled quietly.

Zoe asked, "Wanna call Louis? He has no idea what happened, but he's worried about you."

"No. I'll call him after I'm discharged." She had no idea what to tell him even if she called.

Zoe sighed and patted Leanna's shoulder. "It's in the past now, Nana." That was all she could say.

Everything else was meaningless.

"Yeah, it is." Now that the baby was gone, she lost her only connection to Aidan. She could finally live

her life free and happy.

Zoe asked, "So what now? Are you returning to Lux?"

Leanna shook her head. "No." All she wanted was to live quietly in a place where no one knew her.

She wanted to stay away from all this drama.

Zoe thought about her little idea for a minute and proposed, "Why don't we travel around and go for

some sightseeing. We really need to put all the trash behind us." Zoe got more and more excited as



she spoke. She even started planning the itinerary.

Leanna sat beside her and listened quietly. She had a smile on her lips that masked all her real

emotions.

Zoe finally lay down on the couch late at night. "I need to sleep now, Nana. You should get some sleep

too. Nighty night."

"Sure." Zoe turned the lights off, plunging the room into darkness.
