I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 786 Their Child Was Innocent

Leanna waited until she was so tired that she couldn't keep her eyes open, yet Aidan still hadn't returned.

Then, she drank her hot traditional medicine and went to bed.

But as soon as she lay down on the bed, she heard noises outside the door.

So, she slowly sat up from the bed and rubbed her eyes.

Aidan entered the bedroom and whispered, "Why haven't you gone to bed?"

Leanna's voice sounded tired as she spoke. "I was just about to sleep when you came back."

After walking up to her, Aidan rubbed her head and apologized, "Sorry for waking you up. Go back to sleep."

Leanna muttered, "You still haven't told me what happened."

Aidan pursed his lips slightly and remained silent for a while before saying, "Why don't I wait until you wake up to

tell you?"

If he told her everything now, she probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep.

But Leanna retorted, "Are you playing me?"

Who could sleep peacefully when they were so close to finding out the truth?

Aidan asked, "Do you really want to know?"

Leanna hesitated for a moment and then said, "Didn't you say that you would tell me everything when you came

back?"

Without saying anything, Aidan pulled her into his arms.

Leanna rested her head on his chest and didn't urge him but patiently waited for him to start speaking.

After a while, she heard a low voice from above her. "Do you remember what happened after Sienna died?"

Leanna nodded. "Our baby got sick, which led to the Woodley Family's story being revealed."

The past few months' events could be summarized in just a few short sentences, but they were still shocking.

She didn't dare to recall those details, especially when their child first showed signs of illness.

Whenever she thought about it, she felt like even breathing was painful.

Aidan continued, "Do you think a dead person is capable of doing all these things?"

Puzzled, Leanna argued, "But I remember what she said before she died..."

"Saying something is one thing, but Sienna had limited abilities. If she had the power to cause chaos to the Woodley

Family, she would have used her abilities against me long ago."

Leanna pursed her lips and remained silent.

She seemed to gradually understand why Aidan chose to explain indirectly instead of getting straight to the point.

Though Aidan had many enemies in Highside, there were probably only a few who knew about the things that

happened between him and the Pearsons, as well as the existence of the Woodley Family.

Speaking of which, their discovery of the truth behind the Woodley Family's involvement in that incident was also

discovered because someone had led them to it.

This person knew the truth yet chose not to say it but let them find out on their own, which clearly indicated his

purpose.

He didn't want to see Aidan's reaction after revealing the truth. What he wanted was for Aidan to feel guilty as the

investigation progressed.

Therefore, Aidan's final choice was probably within his expectations.

That person knew Aidan very well.

After this incident, he would easily obtain what he had planned without exerting any effort.

Both were silent for a moment before Aidan continued, "It's Justin."

Although she already knew the answer in her heart, Leanna's heart skipped a beat when she heard him say it out

loud. She couldn't help but use her hand on the bed to hold onto Aidan's arm.

She didn't need to ask Aidan if he was sure about it.

That was because she knew better than anyone else what Justin meant to Aidan.

Now that he told her it was Justin.

It meant it was true.

A strange feeling surged inside her, and she choked up. After a long time, she asked, "When did he... know about

the Woodley Family?"

Aidan calmly explained, "The Woodley Family kept this matter a secret. Apart from Old Mr. Woodley and Philip, no

one else knew. In addition, Joseph grew up under Philip's care."

Leanna paused momentarily. "So... it was Joseph Woodley. He probably accidentally overheard them discussing this

matter, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. It was until he was expelled from the Woodley Family that

he somehow remembered this secret and went to find Justin."

At that time, Joseph probably thought no one deserved to be happy if he wasn't.

He even wanted to expose the Woodley Family's ugly deeds.

It was probably since then that Justin put away his kindness and gentleness and began his seven years of devising

his revenge.

Aidan added, "That's probably everything."

Leanna suddenly didn't know what to say. She just held his hand and kept her eyes downcast.

From Justin's perspective, he just wanted to give those who had hurt him the revenge they deserved.

Whether it was the Pearsons or the Woodleys, they were the culprits who had made him disabled for life and

confined to a wheelchair.

But...

Aidan embraced her and kissed her forehead. "I know…"

Hearing his answer, Leanna realized that she had actually said what she had just thought.

But their child was innocent.

She couldn't imagine how Justin could smile like a gentleman while giving orders to do these things.

Their child barely survived a car accident and finally grew up healthy. She hadn't even had a chance to properly

care for her child before pushing him into an endless abyss again.

As Leanna continued to think about it, her eyes moistened, and she choked up. "Has he admitted to all these

things?"

"No," Aidan said, "But Old Mr. Woodley has evidence."

"What evidence?"

Aidan explained, "There's one more thing. I know you asked Ron to find Amanda. She was the doctor who helped

Justin develop the enhanced nutrition injections. She's also the one who saved Leroy and planned all of this. Now

that she's dead, no one can testify against Justin."

Leanna opened her mouth to say something but felt powerless.

It seemed like how Amanda had met Justin, their deal, and how Amanda had died didn't matter anymore.

What was the point of knowing the truth?

All these people had been targeting her child since she got pregnant with him.

Each of them had their own motives.

All they thought about was how to harm her child in order to gain their own benefits.

Whether it was Sienna, Old Mr. Woodley, or... even Justin, it seemed that her baby was always just a tool for their

revenge.

Leanna suddenly understood why Aidan didn't want her to give birth to her child back then.

If she had known that this would be the result, she definitely wouldn't have insisted on giving birth to him.

Aidan knew what she was thinking and comforted her softly while embracing. "It's okay, everything has gotten

better now. Stop thinking about the past and leave everything to me."
