Chapter 154

Zoe could tell that Leanna wanted to be alone with Georgina, so she reluctantly walked out of the hospital room.

Once Zoe left, Georgina sat down on the couch beside the bed and said, “I was sorry to hear that you lost your child, Miss McKinney.”

“There’s nothing to feel sorry for. There’s no point in trying to hold onto something that doesn’t belong to me. It’d be futile anyway,” Leanna responded flatly, her expression indifferent.

“Miss McKinney—”

“You should get to the point, Miss Crossley.”

Georgina smiled. “It’s nothing. I just wanted to come and give you a word of advice. As for everything else…” She paused for a moment before continuing, “Perhaps you didn’t know, Miss McKinney, but when you left the Pearson Family Estate that day, my father arranged for someone to pick you up. His intention was to take you to a safer place. None of us could’ve predicted that this would happen instead. Please don’t misunderstand, Miss McKinney. My father does not mean to do you any harm. It’s just that Aidan and I will get married soon, so he probably thinks that…”

She left the remaining words unsaid, but Leanna got the message.

Georgina and Aidan were about to get married, so his ex-wife’s presence would only be a hindrance to their relationship.

Seeing that Leanna remained silent, Georgina spoke up again. “It goes without saying that I don’t doubt you, Miss McKinney, but my father has his concerns. My marriage to Aidan is also an alliance between Pearson Group and Crossley Group, so he has to consider all possibilities.”

After a few moments, Leanna finally said, “I know what you want to tell me, Miss Crossley.”

Georgina kept her smile and did not respond.

“You have nothing to worry about, Miss Crossley. Now that my child is gone, Aidan and I have nothing to do with one another anymore,” Leanna said.

“Will you be staying on in Highside, Miss McKinney?”

When Leanna heard the question, her lips curved into a faint smile that was difficult to read. “Why not?” she asked.
