Chapter 601 Apparently Planting Evidence

In the car, Leanna was carrying the child, who was sound asleep, while wondering where they would

be taken to at this time.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a white building.

The driver unlocked the car door from the outside.

Leanna got out of the car. She looked at the man walking in front of her, then at the little guy in her

arms. She stepped forward to follow in his footsteps.

After entering the white building, she realized it seemed like an experimental base with high-technology

instruments.

Just as she was looking around, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a mask, and a white laboratory

coat walked up to them and asked, "Why are you all here?"

She could recognize the voice—it belonged to the person who had brought her here.

The man leered at him and responded with a tone that sounded not pleasant, "I want to ask you, why

did you bring them to me?"

The first man grinned and answered, "They are guests; you can't just let them stay in a hotel. That

would be rude."

Standing next to him, Leanna added, "The way you brought me here wasn't very polite, either."

He didn't look embarrassed and offered his hand to her. "Since this is the case, let's just pretend that

none of the previous things happened. Nice to meet you. My name is Waylen Woodley."

It was at this time that the little guy woke up and stretched himself in Leanna's arms while groaning.

Waylen said, "Give me the child, and I'll take him for a detailed examination. It was supposed to be

done tomorrow, but let's do it now since you all are already here."

Leanna hesitated for a few seconds, still clasping the little guy in her arms. "I'll go with you."

Waylen pointed to the man next to her. "He is here; if I run away with the child, you can find him to

settle the score."

The man seemed to turn his back on him as he walked to the window.

Waylen whispered again, "The main reason for this is that outsiders are not allowed to enter our

laboratory, and the checkups are tedious, too. It's not that we don't want to let you join us, but it is

inconvenient."

Leanna said, "Then, return the phone to me."

Waylen searched himself and replied, "It is spoiled. I left it in the car; I'll have someone bring it to you

later."

She looked toward the window and asked, "What is your relationship with him?"

"He is my cousin."

Leanna withdrew her gaze and gave the child to him.

In the car, Leanna was carrying the child, who was sound asleep, while wondering where they would

be taken to at this time.

After Waylen left with the little guy in his arms, she walked to the window and prompted slowly,

"Lachlan Woodley?"

The man turned his head back and raised his eyebrow in mild surprise. He leaned against the window

and said, "I thought you didn't know who I was."

Leanna was simply taking a guess when she asked this question. She never linked Daniel's description

of the frenzied and lunatic devil with the man in front of her now.

However, she figured out his identity the moment his men called him Mr. Woodley back in the

clubhouse.

What Waylen said just now merely proved her suspicions to be accurate.

Leanna said, "I don't know what exactly you want to do."

"What do you mean?"

"Everything."

Lachlan laughed and replied calmly, "If you are referring to the matter of bringing you to Jamesdon, I

am glad to answer you. If it's something else, I'm sorry; there is nothing I can do."

She frowned and asked, "Why?"

"How do you expect me to answer for something I have never done before?"

"'Never done before?'" She paused. "You mean you are not responsible for what happened before

these and the Pearson Family?"

Lachlan's expression remained calm. "I'm not that silly."

Leanna argued, "Why are you hiding from Aidan since you didn't do it?"

"So, you believe me?"

She answered frankly, "No, I don't."

The man continued steadily, "Do you think he will believe me when you don't even trust me? I'm not

avoiding him; I just don't want to invite unnecessary trouble before things are resolved."

Leanna was silent for a moment. "Are you referring to me?"

"Who knows?"

She was rather speechless.

After a few seconds, she confronted Lachlan again, "If it's like what you said, why did all the evidence

point to Jamesdon and you when you did none of those things?"

"Someone is obviously planting evidence on me."

Leanna's brows furrowed even deeper with these words. Shifting the blame on him? Would there be

such a possibility? If this is the case, then who's manipulating the situation from behind the scenes?

She pursed her lips and continued, "Can you tell me why you brought us to Jamesdon?"

Lachlan explained, "Firstly, all the fingers are pointing at me now. I have no reason to sit back and

await my doom. Secondly, the faulty nutrient injection was developed by Jamesdon Pharmaceutical, so

I have the responsibility to deal with the aftermath."

"The nutrient injection was developed in Jamesdon, but you are saying you did not give it to Sienna

Zielinski. Is that what you mean?"

"The nutrient injection was developed in Jamesdon, but you are saying you did not give it to Sienna

Zielinski. Is that what you mean?"

"Yes."

"Can we find out who gave it to her now?"

"That particular batch of nutrient injection was destroyed two years ago. All those who had been

involved in the research and development have been investigated; there are no clues yet."

Just then, the most crucial question came to Leanna's mind. "How did you bring us here?"

As Aidan's people had been patrolling the hospital ward and keeping an eye on it, they would never

allow strangers to easily enter the place.

Leanna suddenly realized something. "In Highside… No, are your men working under Aidan?"

Lachlan replied, "This is beyond what I should furnish you with."

Even though he didn't answer, she could guess what actually happened.

Otherwise, they couldn't have taken her and the child away so smoothly.

She was a bit confused at the moment. All those things that happened in Highside before these were

more or less related to Jamesdon, including the sudden illness of the little guy. Obviously, they made

some kind of deal with Sienna Zielinski.

Yet, Lachlan said that others had framed him.

Leanna never trusted them by instinct, but Lachlan did not seem hostile.

Not to mention, the little guy's condition had improved in the last two days.

For a while, she was unable to make any judgments at all.

An hour later, Waylen carried the child out and put it in Leanna's arms, but his expression was not as

calm as before.

Lachlan asked, "How is it coming along?"

"The situation is less optimistic; it is more serious than Nico's."

"Does the newly developed medicine work for him?"

"The effect is minimal; it can keep his symptoms under control, but there is no way to cure him."

Leanna felt her throat becoming dry and asked hoarsely, "Is there any other way?"

Waylen looked at her and smiled. "Don't be so nervous; there must be a solution. Besides, our whole

research and development team is working overtime on this matter, and they haven't slept for a few

days. This little guy will be fine."

She was stunned as she did not expect everyone in this laboratory to be busy with this. As a result, it

did not look like they were involved in administering the nutrient injection.
