Chapter 70 Perhaps, It Was Her Fate Aidan got up and said indifferently, “I’ll give you three days to

think about it. If you have other requests, tell me all at once. If you miss this chance, you will never

have the chance anymore.” After walking to the door, Aidan stopped in his tracks and added, “If you

had made the right choice earlier, your brother wouldn’t have sacrificed his own future for the mere cost

of one hundred thousand dollars.” Leanna gritted her teeth, and her eyes turned scarlet, but she

controlled herself not to cry.

After he left, she pulled out the IV drip needle on the back of her hand. While walking out of the

hospital, she called Zoe, but Louis no longer worked at the previous convenience store. She could not

find him after searching all night. When Leanna reunited with Zoe, she was startled to see Leanna’s

pale face and red eyes. “Nana, what happened?” Leanna shook her head and answered, “Let’s look for

Louis first.” When it was getting dark, he finally answered the call. She calmly asked, “Louis, where are

you?” “I’m in military training—” “Give me the address.” Louis, on the other end of the phone, was silent

before saying, “Outsiders can’t come in during the military training.” “Pass the phone to your teacher or

instructor, and I’ll tell them.” This time, he stopped talking. Leanna was exhausted and asked

repeatedly, “Louis, where are you?” Louis was looking for a job near Southfork University.

He thought that if Leanna came to look for him, he could tell her that he was working part-time here.

Yet, he did not expect that she would find out so quickly. After a while, he uttered, “Don’t run around. I’ll

go to you.” While he was on the way, Zoe learned from Leanna what happened earlier and was

rendered speechless. Zoe knew that Jethro was not a human being, so Leanna and Louis had been

dependent on each other since childhood. She was aware that Leanna’s most important person in life

was her younger brother. Now that Louis sold his admission letter and gave up on his future, it made

sense for Leanna to be angry and anxious. Half an hour later, Louis showed up at Leanna’s house.

Zoe thought it was not appropriate for her to stay any longer, so she came up with an excuse to buy

something and left the house. She took out the card Louis gave her before and placed it on the coffee

table, asking, “Is it because of Jethro?” Judging from the time Louis gave her the money, it happened to

be exactly the same two days. Louis stood on the spot without asking how she knew. He merely

explained, “I’m afraid they won’t let us off the hook so easily. They’re people who don’t have limits. If

we have this amount of money, we can protect ourselves no matter what situation we’re in.” “Louis—”

He uttered nonchalantly, “It’s best if we don’t help Jethro pay his debt. I told you I’m going to support

you. There’s not much here, but I think it’ll be enough for the time being. After this, I’ll—” Leanna

interrupted him, “Louis, do you know what it means to give up on going to college?”

After a pause, he countered, “Didn’t you also give up the opportunity to go to Paris?” “It’s because I’ve

given up once and know what I’ve lost, so I don’t want you to regret it.” “There’s nothing for me to

regret. Even if I don’t go to college, I can also—” “You’re only eighteen now. If you don’t go to college,

what are you going to do?” She stared at the card in front of her. “There’s no use returning the money

now, is it?” Louis nodded. A hundred thousand might be nothing in the eyes of rich people, but for

them, it was a completed transaction that was impossible for them to take back. “I will handle this

matter, Louis. Wait for my news,” uttered Leanna. He could not help but frown.

“How are you going to do that?” “I’ll think of a way. You just have to remember that you don’t have to

give up your future for me or anyone else. If… If I succeed, you can go back to school. No buts.” When

Louis wanted to argue, Leanna beat him to it. “We’ll stop the discussion here. I’m going to sleep now.

You should head home too.” When Louis walked to the door, he halted in his steps and turned around

as if realizing something. “This is my own choice, so I can bear the consequences. You don’t have to

beg him.” She smiled. “Who told you that I’m going to beg him? It’s just a normal deal.” “What deal?”

“Don’t worry about the adults’ affairs. You’re just a student, so focus on your studies.” He could not

argue with her anymore. … When Zoe came back, Leanna was sitting on the couch in a trance. Zoe

could not tell what she was thinking. Walking over, she inquired in a low voice, “Nana, have you settled

it with Louis?” Leanna was pulled back to reality as she replied, “Yeah. I’ll meet Aidan tomorrow. There

should be no problem.” “Will that b*stard agree? I hope he doesn’t pull a trick on you.” She stared

blankly ahead and said after a few seconds, “Maybe.” After she finished speaking, she stood up. “Zoe,

I’m a little sleepy. I’m going to bed first.” “Okay. Good night,” responded Zoe. Suddenly, she asked, “Are

you supposed to go for a maternity checkup in two days? I’ll come with you.” Leanna paused in her

footsteps and did not look back, but her voice was soft, “Let’s talk about it later.”

After returning to the room, she opened the closet to get a change of clothes, but she could not help

but look to the side. She took out all the baby clothes and shoes and sat on the bed, watching them for

a long time. Ever since she knew the existence of this child, Leanna never expected Aidan to be kind

enough to keep him. No matter what his response was, it was within Leanna’s expectations, but when it

actually happened, she discovered what she was most afraid of. Her last child also died in her belly

around four months old, which was almost the same age as the current one in her belly…

Perhaps, it was her fate. Without this child, she could draw the line between her and Aidan completely.

The next day, Leanna arrived at Aidan’s company with the documents Aidan gave her. When she

arrived, Queenie was entangled with the front desk. “What do you mean designers from Lux Jewelry

aren’t allowed to enter? Why didn’t you have this rule when I came last time?” The front desk politely

apologized, “I’m sorry, ma’am. I don’t know the specifics.” “Can’t you ask if you don’t know? I have

business affairs to discuss with President Pearson!” “President Pearson has an important meeting

today. No one is allowed to disturb him.” “You—” Queenie was so mad that she was about to pick

another time to come again when she turned around to see Leanna standing quietly not far away.

Biting her lower lip, she wondered what Leanna was doing here. Did she regret turning down this

opportunity? Just as she was about to step forward, she saw a man coming out to bring Leanna in.

Queenie’s eyes widened as she questioned the front desk, “She is also a designer of Lux Jewelry. Why

is she allowed to go in?!” “Ma’am, she went in with Mr. Stoll, which is beyond our purview.” Queenie

clenched her fists, but she had no choice but to leave.
