Chapter 677 What Are You Afraid Of? I’m Here

Leanna felt her temples throbbing as she hastily ended the call. Her heart was beating so fast that it would have

probably leaped out of her chest if it were physically possible.

A few seconds later, she called Zoe again.

Zoe, who had been taking pictures of the model, saw Leanna's name flashing across her phone's screen and

immediately picked it up. "Nana, what's the matter?"

"Are you in the studio?" Laeanna asked hurriedly.

"Yes, I'm a bit occupied right now. I'll call you back in a bit."

"Zoe, listen carefully. Something has happened in Jamesdon. I'm not sure if they're going to set their sights on

Highside. I've gotten Louis to pick you up. Please be careful these few days."

Zoe was taken aback to hear such a thing, and her worried tone caught her off guard. So, he instinctively nodded

dazedly. "Oh, okay. I'll look for Charlotte as soon as I'm done with this shoot."

"Okay. Call me if you need anything."

Leanna placed her phone down with trembling hands as she took a deep breath.

Although she might have gone overboard with her worries, several elders did die in Jamesdon. This just showed how

ruthless and desperate the masterminds were behind such a terrible tragedy.

Therefore, she would do anything to make sure they were safe.

Leanna tried to call Waylen and Naomi again but to no avail.

Just as she was about to leave, a feeble gasp came from the hospital bed. "Leanna…"

Initially, Leanna thought that she was hearing things.

Then, William's voice sounded once more in the ward, firmer this time, "Leanna."

Leanna rushed to the hospital bed and saw that William's eyes were open. Although there was no doubt that his

vision hadn't fully returned, judging from his enlarged pupils, he still had his hands raised in the air as if he was

desperately trying to grab something, something precious to his heart.

She immediately leaned over and grasped his hand, her voice choking up unconsciously as she tried to murmur,

"I'm here."

William stared at the ceiling for half a minute before gradually turning his head to look at her with a weak smile.

"Dad's here. Don't be scared."

Leanna could no longer restrain the emotions that had been building up over time upon hearing those reassuring

words. Terror and fear of the unknown clouded her head, and tears began to roll down her cheeks. Soon, she

lowered her head, pressed her cheek against her father's weathered hand, and began to sob.

William slowly raised his other hand with difficulty and patted her head to comfort her. "It's okay. Everything will be

fine."

Leanna cried and cried before eventually calming down. Then, she wiped the tears from her face and said, "I'll get

the doctor."

Shortly after, the doctor came and gave William a full body examination.

Based on the results, the doctor deemed that although he was still weak from the surgery, his body was recovering

well.

Leonno felt her temples throbbing os she hostily ended the coll. Her heort wos beoting so fost thot it would hove

probobly leoped out of her chest if it were physicolly possible.

A few seconds loter, she colled Zoe ogoin.

Zoe, who hod been toking pictures of the model, sow Leonno's nome floshing ocross her phone's screen ond

immediotely picked it up. "Nono, whot's the motter?"

"Are you in the studio?" Leonno osked hurriedly.

"Yes, I'm o bit occupied right now. I'll coll you bock in o bit."

"Zoe, listen corefully. Something hos hoppened in Jomesdon. I'm not sure if they're going to set their sights on

Zoe wos token obock to heor such o thing, ond her worried tone cought her off guord. So, he instinctively nodded

dozedly. "Oh, okoy. I'll look for Chorlotte os soon os I'm done with this shoot."

"Okoy. Coll me if you need onything."

Leonno ploced her phone down with trembling honds os she took o deep breoth.

ruthless ond desperote the mosterminds were behind such o terrible trogedy.

Therefore, she would do onything to moke sure they were sofe.

Just os she wos obout to leove, o feeble gosp come from the hospitol bed. "Leonno…"

Initiolly, Leonno thought thot she wos heoring things.

Then, Williom's voice sounded once more in the word, firmer this time, "Leonno."

Leonno rushed to the hospitol bed ond sow thot Williom's eyes were open. Although there wos no doubt thot his

She immediotely leoned over ond grosped his hond, her voice choking up unconsciously os she tried to murmur,

"I'm here."

Williom stored ot the ceiling for holf o minute before groduolly turning his heod to look ot her with o weok smile.

"Dod's here. Don't be scored."

Leonno could no longer restroin the emotions thot hod been building up over time upon heoring those reossuring

Laanna falt har tamplas throbbing as sha hastily andad tha call. Har haart was baating so fast that it would hava

probably laapad out of har chast if it wara physically possibla.

A faw saconds latar, sha callad Zoa again.

Zoa, who had baan taking picturas of tha modal, saw Laanna's nama flashing across har phona's scraan and

dazadly. "Oh, okay. I'll look for Charlotta as soon as I'm dona with this shoot."

"Okay. Call ma if you naad anything."

Laanna placad har phona down with trambling hands as sha took a daap braath.

Although sha might hava gona ovarboard with har worrias, savaral aldars did dia in Jamasdon. This just showad how

Tharafora, sha would do anything to maka sura thay wara safa.

Laanna triad to call Waylan and Naomi again but to no avail.

Just as sha was about to laava, a faabla gasp cama from tha hospital bad. "Laanna…"

Initially, Laanna thought that sha was haaring things.

Than, William's voica soundad onca mora in tha ward, firmar this tima, "Laanna."

Laanna rushad to tha hospital bad and saw that William's ayas wara opan. Although thara was no doubt that his

vision hadn't fully raturnad, judging from his anlargad pupils, ha still had his hands raisad in tha air as if ha was

dasparataly trying to grab somathing, somathing pracious to his haart.

Sha immadiataly laanad ovar and graspad his hand, har voica choking up unconsciously as sha triad to murmur,

"Dad's hara. Don't ba scarad."

Laanna could no longar rastrain tha amotions that had baan building up ovar tima upon haaring thosa raassuring

William slowly raisad his othar hand with difficulty and pattad har haad to comfort har. "It's okay. Evarything will ba

Laanna criad and criad bafora avantually calming down. Than, sha wipad tha taars from har faca and said, "I'll gat

tha doctor."

Shortly aftar, tha doctor cama and gava William a full body axamination.

Basad on tha rasults, tha doctor daamad that although ha was still waak from tha surgary, his body was racovaring

wall.

The doctor also advised that William should continue to rest and that it was best if his friends and family didn't

abuse their visitation rights.

After the doctor left, William clicked on the control, which steadily raised the bed into a sitting position, and said, "I

overheard you saying that something happened in Jamesdon."

Leanna poured him a glass of water. "Oh. So, you know everything, then?"

"No, I just heard some vague words and pieced that together myself. I couldn't really hear everything clearly. What

happened?"

"The doctor said you need to rest. So, you shouldn't be worrying about such things now." She tried to dodge the

topic.

He took the glass of water out of her hands, took a few careful sips, and coughed before saying, "What about

Daniel? Did you find out anything about him?"

Leanna frowned slightly and shook her head.

After a pause, she said, "Aidan is helping out with the company, so you don't have to worry about business."

William went silent for a while upon hearing that.

Leanna knew that Aidan probably did not leave a good impression on William.

Therefore, she did not continue this topic any further. Instead, she got up and said, "I'll ask the doctor about your

dietary needs."

With that, she left the ward.

As soon as she went to the corridor, Louis called her to say he had arrived at the studio. He reassured her that he

would take care of the rest, so she could set her mind at ease.

Leanna nodded. "Keep a close lookout these few days. I don't think anything should happen, but just in case. You

understand?"

She didn't want any of them to get hurt since the little guy's whereabouts were already unknown.

On top of that, there was the incident in Jamesdon. She didn't know if Charlotte would be their next target.

After Leanna hung up the phone, she inhaled deeply before entering the doctor's office.

The doctor told her that William should only be on a liquid diet for the next two days. Then, and only then, would he

be allowed to partake in any solids. Even so, he should stick to light foods.

Then, she headed to the convenience store to get some necessities after leaving the doctor's office, keeping his

advice in mind. When she returned to the ward, Aidan and William's assistant were already there.

She heard that they were discussing matters regarding the company, so she quietly closed the door and sat on the

chair outside the ward.

She turned on her phone and stared at the picture of the little guy. After a while, her eyes turned red-rimmed as

she stared longingly at the image.

Tears began to roll down her cheek as they splattered against the screen.

Still, she was aware that she was currently in public. Thus, she raised her head and closed her eyes in an attempt to

force her tears back.

At this time, someone reached out to grab her hand and said lowly, "Did you see the news?"

Leanna snapped her eyes open and saw Aidan squatting in front of her.

She lowered her head and mumbled, "I can't get in touch with Waylen and Ms. Fletcher. I'm afraid—"

He pinched her red nose and interrupted her, "What are you afraid of? I'm here."

She was taken aback for a moment before a thought suddenly came to her mind. "You…"

"After what happened to the Woodleys… Well, I've made arrangements for them to be taken to a secure safe

house."

"But isn't the little guy being treated in the laboratory? What would happen to the laboratory if something happened

to Lachlan?

"They're all safe now, but we couldn't just ship our loved ones off to Jamesdon. There are too many of them. So,

we'll have to wait. Don't worry."

Leanna felt her eyes winding up for another round of sobs as she whimpered, "But I couldn't get through to Waylen

and Ms. Fletcher."

"That's because too many people are calling them all at once. I'll contact him in the evening, okay?" Aidan

comforted her.

"Okay," she replied, wiping the tears from her face.

Aidan's heart softened when he saw her saddened face and leaned over to kiss her lips. "You look so cute even

when you're crying."

Leanna didn't know how to react.

Just as she was about to push him away, he quickly held her hands in his firm grip.

Aidan's lips curled into a smile before he slowly backed away. "Where were you earlier?"

Her voice was still quivering as she whispered, "I went downstairs to buy something."

"Have you eaten?"

"No…"

"Let's go. I'll take you to dinner," he intoned seriously.

Leanna's head turned toward the ward to protest, "But the doctor said he should rest more."

"Don't worry. His assistant is just making a simple report. It'll be over in a jiffy."

A thought suddenly came to her mind, but she decided not to voice it. Instead, she followed him.

"What do you want to eat?" Aidan asked.

"Anything."

"Since William is awake, you should be able to rest easy now. So, let's have a meal, hm?"

"Sure." She nodded.

Aidan was a little surprised that she was so cooperative. He even showed his dubiosity by turning his head to look at

her with his eyebrows raised.

Leanna sensed his gaze as she tidied up her hair and solemnly said, "I just thought you were rather pitiful since

you've been kicked out. So, I've decided to go along with your wishes just this once."

Aidan went mute for a few seconds before finally saying, "Who told you that I was kicked out?"

"Is this such a surprise?" she retorted.
