Chapter 584 Will You Come Tomorrow?

After returning to the Crossley Group, Leanna went through the documents that her assistant had sent

over. When she checked the time after that, she realized it was almost 6.00PM.

Soon, Richard came in and said, "Miss McKinney, the police station just sent word that the trial for

Raymond's case has been expedited, and the verdict will be handed down soon. He's basically going

to get the death penalty. The case has implicated Mr. Ollander extensively, and they're still investigating

it. I heard he's been trying to use his connections to get himself out and even tried to pin all the blame

on Raymond. However..."

"However, what?"

"Pearson Group has managed to suppress it all, so no one dares to help him now. But the problem now

is that he denies any involvement in the smuggling ring and claims he knew nothing. He claimed that

he only did everything under the orders of Mr. Crossley before this. If they can't find solid evidence after

the detention period, there's a chance that Mr. Ollander might be released."

Leanna pursed her lips upon hearing that. It seemed like he not only wanted to shift the blame onto

Raymond, but he also wanted to dump all these dirty dealings onto Leroy. If he succeeded, he could

turn from a perpetrator into a victim who didn't know anything. Raymond was already a murderer, so no

matter how many cases he was charged with, it all seemed like a natural progression. And they

wouldn't be able to find anyone on Leroy's side, leaving them without any evidence. What a well-played

scheme.

"Send all the evidence we've collected to the police station and contact Jessamine. If she's willing to,

she can come forward to sue Jimmy. As for the other victims, try to find them. We can't let him leave

the police station no matter the charges that will be brought against him," Leanna said.

"Okay." Richard nodded.

With that, Leanna got up. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

She had only taken two steps when Richard's voice rang from behind. "Miss McKinney." Hearing that,

Leanna turned around. "What is it?"

Richard hesitated for a bit, seemingly unsure. Even so, Leanna didn't rush him and waited to listen to

what he had to say. "I-I haven't had a chance to apologize to you with all that's been happening these

past few days…"

"Apologize?"

"Maya did a lot of things to wrong you in the past, especially after what happened with Raymond. She

has been feeling guilty about it all this time. She's not a bad person at heart, but sometimes she isn't

bright and would do things that don't make sense. Now she knows that she is at fault."

"I know. If I honestly held a grudge against her, I wouldn't have let her take care of my child." Leanna

smiled gently.

Upon hearing that, Richard instantly made sense of the situation. If Leanna really wanted to get back at

Maya, why would she trust her to take care of her child?

"Thank you, Miss McKinney." Richard heaved a sigh of relief.

"You're welcome."

After leaving the Crossley Group, Leanna went to the supermarket and bought a lot of food and fruits

that were good for wound recovery. After putting them all in Aidan's empty refrigerator, she placed the

soup on the stove before entering Aidan's bedroom to check on him. He was still sleeping, so she

closed the door, and as she was about to go back to put things away, she stopped outside the

bathroom. She tilted her head as she walked in and picked up the hair dryer from the washstand. She

plugged it in, and after fiddling with it for a while, there was no response.

Is it really broken? Leanna changed to a different outlet, but it still didn't work. Alright. It seemed that

the b*stard wasn't lying this time. When she went back next door, Zoe and Maya were there, and she

asked Maya to leave first. As soon as Leanna sat down, Zoe leaned in before asking, "How is

President Pearson?"

"He's fine. At least he's not dead yet," Leanna said.

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and quickly stood up while

saying, "Zoe, could you please watch the baby for me for a while? I am boiling soup on the stove."

Hearing that, Zoe nodded and subconsciously looked toward the kitchen. However, she noticed that the

stove wasn't even turned on. She looked at how hurriedly Leanna had left and suddenly realized that it

must be the kitchen next door. Leanna wasn't sure if Aidan had an appetite for anything, so she didn't

cook too much. She boiled fish soup and made a light side dish.

As soon as she turned off the stove and was about to call Aidan, someone suddenly hugged her from

behind. Aidan rested his chin on her shoulder and uttered with his husky voice, "Good morning."

Leanna, who was still holding the ladle in her hand, replied irritably, "Good morning, my *ss. It's already

dark outside."

"Is it? I thought it wasn't dawn yet," Aidan replied lazily.

Leanna didn't want to pay him any attention and reached out to pull his hands away from around her

waist while saying, "Let go."

"Let me hold you a little longer." He rubbed against her neck as if he was being playful.

Leanna was silent for a moment and wondered if he had gone crazy. She raised her hand and touched

his forehead. It felt warm to the touch. Aidan then closed his eyes and tightened his embrace around

her.

Leanna brought her thoughts back and warned, "If you don't let go, you'll have to go to the hospital by

yourself."

Hearing that, Aidan instantly released his grip and took a step back before rubbing his temples. "Am I

dreaming?"

Leanna was speechless after hearing that. Could he be any more shameless?

After that, she turned around and poured the soup into the bowl. "You're indeed dreaming. After all, you

won't find another angel like me who has descended to earth to save you in the mortal world." Aidan

lifted his eyebrows slightly, and a smirk appeared on his face.

Leanna went to fetch bowls and utensils and pushed him away. "Shoo, don't stand in the way." With

that, Aidan went to the dining room and sat down.

Soon, Leanna placed all the food on the table, and as Aidan looked at the dishes in front of him, he

asked, "Aren't you eating?"

"I'll eat when I go back," she replied. She then turned around and went into the bedroom. When she

came out, she had the medicine with her and placed it in front of him. "Remember to take your pills

after you eat. Your fever should subside tomorrow."

Hearing that, Aidan frowned. "Tomorrow?"

Leanna thought he felt it was too slow and recalled the doctor's advice. "If you don't rest well, you might

not recover until next year," she said. Aidan's brow twitched, but he didn't say anything.

"Alright, I'm leaving," Leanna said.

"Will you come tomorrow?"

"I'm not your nanny," she replied, implying that she had already done enough. With that, Leanna left

straight away.

Aidan looked at the food in front of him and licked his teeth. At least her attitude had improved

compared to before. This trick of making myself sick to win her over is worth it.

After dinner, Leanna and Zoe took the little guy to the mall. Daniel, who was walking behind them,

dutifully pushed the shopping cart. Zoe spent half an hour in the snack area. It was possibly because of

her pregnancy that she had been craving snacks lately and couldn't stop eating. Compared to before,

her face had become a little rounder.

Leanna looked around and said, "Zoe, I'll buy something in front. Let's meet at the checkout later."

"Go ahead. I'll get some yogurt." Zoe nodded.
