Chapter 597 The Show Finally Begins
In the car, Aidan sent a photo of a medicine bottle with "Jamesdon Pharmaceutical" printed on it to Oscar.
Before long, Oscar called him and asked, "What is this?"
"I found it in Sienna's room," Aidan explained.
"It can't be. Why would Sienna have this?" Oscar inquired.
Aidan leaned in the back seat and flatly replied, "How am I supposed to know?"
Oscar took a second before he clarified, "What I mean is, it doesn't make any sense that this would appear in
Sienna's possession."
"Where do you expect it to appear?" Aidan questioned.
Oscar was at a loss for words for a moment. He stuttered for a while before saying, "What was originally in this
bottle? I'll head to the pharmaceutical factory and see for myself."
Aidan replied, "It's nothing. It is just an empty bottle that was found."
Oscar was left perplexed. Why is he making such a big deal out of an empty bottle? He needs to calm down.
"Alright then… I have to go," Aidan said as he ended the call.
After that, he closed his eyes and calmly gave out an order, "Send the photo to our people in Jamesdon and have
them investigate the pharmaceutical factory."
Jonathan hesitated before saying, "President Pearson, what about President Woodley?"
"He has close connections in Jamesdon. We won't find any useful information if we have him investigate it." Aidan
cleared Jonathan's doubt.
Jonathan fell silent. It seems that President Pearson no longer trusts Oscar since the incident in Jamesdon.
If the young master's illness is really related to Jamesdon… Then, things could turn out really ugly.
Half an hour later, Aidan boarded a private plane and headed to Jamesdon.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJohn watched the plane slowly taking off in a black sedan in the distance. He tapped on his knee with his fingers and
had a smile on his face.
Kevin closed the car window. "He's gone, Mr. Watson."
"Finally... The show has finally begun after all the efforts." John smirked.
"But I have a feeling this may not go as smoothly as we imagine. After all, Lachlan is not an easy person to deal
with. Surely he won't take the loss just like that."
"Of course, he won't. We never expected that Aidan would compete with him and end up being injured either.
Leading him to Jamesdon is just to make sure that he knows the truth of what happened back then."
"Surely it's too late even if he knows the truth now? He won't give up on Pearson Group, or will he?"
John only raised his eyebrows. "Who knows? Aidan is a wildcard who does things that are hard to fathom. You can
never figure out what he's thinking."
"I'm curious to see what he'll do once he knows the truth," Kevin commented.
John stretched lazily and added, "Enough of that. Aidan's guy has been watching us closely recently. Let's leave the
country and lie low for now."
...
In the hospital, the little guy had a bad fever at night. Fortunately, it wasn't bad enough to make him vomit, and the
treatment was timely. He fell asleep in Leanna's arms after a short while.
Zoe couldn't help but feel sorry for Leanna when she saw her in such a state. "You've been taking care of him all
day, Nana. Why don't I take over so you can rest for a while?"
Leanna shook her head. "It's okay. I can't sleep anyway. It's getting late, so you should go home."
"I'm too worried to leave him like this. I'll stay here with you."
"Okay, you can sleep on the couch if you get tired," Leanna suggested.
Daniel went away to help her investigate Sienna and her contact in Jamesdon, but he still had yet to return.
Zoe yawned before agreeing, "Okay, I'll take a quick nap. Call me when you want to sleep."
"Alright." Leanna paused for a moment, and added, "You haven't told Louis about this, have you?"
"Not yet."
"He's about to take his final exams, so don't tell him for now. It will distract him. Just leave this to me."
Zoe nodded. "Don't worry, I understand."
The ward became quiet after Zoe fell asleep on the couch.
Leanna gently patted the red rashes on the little guy's body as she swiped on her phone.
It had been twelve hours since Aidan left.
He should have arrived in Jamesdon by now. She wondered how things were going over there.
Then, she sighed before putting down her phone and looking out the window.
It had been raining for several days as it was the rainy season recently. However, the silver lining was that the
weather remained cool. The little guy would have probably found it even harder to bear if it was the hot summer
season.
Leanna got up, took a blanket, and covered Zoe with it before sitting down again next to the little guy.
She was wide awake throughout the night.
The next morning, the rain caused a delay in the arrival of dawn.
Leanna went to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water to freshen herself up when the nurse came to
measure the little guy's temperature.
She saw Freddie with red eyes walking towards her as soon as she came out of the bathroom.
What happened? She instinctively took a couple of steps back.
He demanded with a hoarse voice as he was unable to conceal his excitement, "Where is Aidan?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"He went to Jamesdon," Leanna answered.
Freddie was surprised. "Jamesdon? When?"
"Sometime during the afternoon yesterday." Then, Leanna looked him up and down. Messy hair. Red-rimmed eyes
with noticeable dark circles. Stubble. "What's going on with you?"
He realized that his appearance was less than presentable from Leanna's unusual expression. He rubbed his eyes
and yawned. "I haven't slept in two days. I just discovered something and I immediately rushed over to tell you
guys."
"What do you have for us?" she asked.
Freddie quickly pulled out a piece of newspaper from his pocket. "This is Jamesdon news from two years ago. It says
that a five-month-old baby had the same symptoms as your son. Vomiting for an unknown cause, bad fever, and
red rashes all over the body..."
Leanna quickly grabbed the newspaper upon hearing this.
Freddie continued, "Although there isn't much detail on it, this is the best lead I could find. I believe since what
happened recently in Jamesdon and Highside are closely related, it's possible that this has something to do with
them."
She quickly asked after reading the newspaper, "Do you know what happened to the child in the end?"
"I inquired and contacted the editor-in-chief of this newspaper through a friend. According to him, the child was
treated in a medical institution somewhere in Jamesdon. He didn't know the specifics, but he was certain that the
child is still alive."
Leanna slowly tightened her grip on the newspaper and murmured, "Jamesdon."
Freddie rubbed his eyes as he continued, "Now that Aidan has already gone to Jamesdon. I'm sure as long as we tell
him about this and have him find out which medical institution it is, the rest should be easy."
Leanna turned around and looked at the little guy sleeping on the hospital bed. Her lips were slightly pursed.
