I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 865

On the other side.

After having dinner, Zoe held Leanna's arm and turned off the lights to watch a movie together.

They were watching an old comedy film from the 1990s.

Zoe had watched this movie many times before, but it always amused her.

Leanna didn't have anything else to do, so she accompanied Zoe.

By the time the movie ended, it was almost eleven o'clock.

Seeing Leanna yawn, Zoe picked up her phone and observed her reaction. "By the way, Nana, I forgot to buy you a phone. Should we buy one now?"

Leanna rubbed her eyes. "No need, let's wait until tomorrow. It's late now, and I'm a bit sleepy."

Zoe thought for a moment. "Well... how about you sleep here? We haven't slept together for a long time."

Leanna hesitated for a moment, thinking that Aidan wouldn't come back tonight anyway, so she nodded lightly. "Okay."

Lying on the bed, Zoe said, "Nana, have you considered going out for a vacation or taking some time off recently?"

Leanna was half-asleep. "Huh?"

"I mean..." Zoe fidgeted with her fingers on the blanket and whispered, "Since you're pregnant, you should rest well and relax. That place you went with Aidan last time was beautiful. Maybe spending some time there will be good for your pregnancy."

Leanna murmured, "That place is too far away. I probably can't handle it now. Do you want to go there? Let's go together after I give birth."

Zoe stammered. "Alright..."

Zoe wanted to say more, but hearing Leanna's drowsy voice, she didn't say anything more. She turned around and gently patted Leanna's back. "Go to sleep now."

Leanna said, "Goodnight."

After about ten or twenty minutes, when Zoe was sure that Leanna had fallen asleep, she quietly pulled back the covers, got out of bed, and left the bedroom.

Standing outside the living room, she took out her phone and called Daniel, asking in a hushed voice, "What's the situation now?"

Daniel replied, "Theodore's surgery is over; he's in the intensive care unit, and he's still in critical condition. Daphne is waiting there."

Zoe frowned. "And... what about Louis?"

"He's still at the police station. He won't be able to get bail for a few more days."

Zoe lowered her voice even more. "But over here, I can only keep up the act until tomorrow morning. I can't keep making excuses to not give Leanna her phone. She'll definitely become suspicious."

Daniel said, "Don't worry. Aidan will send her to Jamesdon tomorrow morning."

Hearing his words, Zoe finally breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, she asked again, "And when Aidan leaves, what about Louis?"

"I contacted William. He should be on the plane by now."

Zoe opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

Daniel said, "I still have some things to take care of. You should rest early. Don't worry too much. There will be a solution to this."

Zoe replied, "I know..."

After hanging up the phone, she slowly crouched down, letting out a long breath.

Just last night, they were happily having dinner at Leanna's place, but within less than a day, everything had turned upside down.

Zoe stayed crouched for a while, holding her phone, unsure whether she should call Daphne. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

After all, she must be the one who felt the worst in this situation.

Zoe could empathize with her. If it were Anthony lying in the hospital right now, she would have rushed in and pulled out his oxygen tube. But she couldn't do that. She had to pray for Theodore to wake up.

What a terrible situation.

After thinking for a long time, Zoe finally sent a text message to Daphne, saying a few comforting words, assuring her that Leanna was being taken care of and everything was fine for now.

After ten minutes, Daphne replied with two words, 'Thank you.'

Zoe sighed silently and got up, lying down quietly next to Leanna.

...

At the same time, Crossley Group.

After Jonathan received a phone call, his expression changed slightly. He hurriedly went to the president's office and knocked on the door. "President Pearson."

Aidan looked up at him with a cold expression. "Speak."

Jonathan said, "I just received news that there was a big fire at Mrs. Pearson's new studio. Two construction workers who were working overnight... didn't make it out."

Aidan held the pen tightly and didn't say anything. His features were like covering in a layer of frost,

emanating an icy chill.

It had been a long time since Jonathan had felt this kind of chill creeping up his back as if his neck was borrowed and placed on his head, and if he weren't careful, he would have to give it back.

He quickly continued, "The fire department has already rushed over. We're still waiting for the final report."

After a pause, he added, "President Pearson, should we send someone over?"

After a while, Aidan finally spoke. "No need. Since the fire department has already gone, just report to the police. Call Daniel and tell him to stay by Theodore's side. No matter what happens, he can't leave. If Theodore dies, he will follow him to the grave."

Jonathan responded, "Yes." Aidan's thin lips twitched slightly, but his expression was cold. "If he wants to know so badly, why not tell him."

...

Outside Crossley Group.

John sat in the car and saw Jonathan come out, getting into his car directly.

His subordinate next to him asked, "Mr. Watson, should we follow them?"

John looked at the brightly lit building and was certain that Aidan wouldn't come out. "Follow them, let's see where he's going. It's not that simple for him to suddenly leave at a time like this."

Soon, they caught up with Jonathan's car.

The two black cars drove one after the other onto the highway, disappearing into the night.

Half an hour later, Jonathan's car stopped outside Aidan's private helipad.

The staff members were already waiting there.

After getting out of the car, Jonathan was immediately greeted. "Mr. Stoll, everything is ready. When will President Pearson arrive tomorrow?"

As Jonathan walked inside, he replied, "At 8 o'clock in the morning. President Pearson asked me to come and check. Have you confirmed the breakfast according to the recipe I gave you?"

"It's confirmed..."

Their voices grew fainter and eventually became inaudible.

John sat in the car, the window half-open, watching the private plane inside with great interest.

Aidan is indeed acting quickly. He is already arranging to send Leanna away.

But is it really that easy?

John called Justin, explaining the situation on their end, and then rolled up the window.

After about an hour, when Jonathan still hadn't come out, he began to sense that something was amiss.

John suddenly spoke. "Are there any other exits here?"
