The child underwent surgery at the local hospital, only then did Shannon Quinn slightly co to her senses. That scene kept replaying in her mind, and just thinking about it sent chills down her spine.
"You’ve been up for over ten hours, take a nap first. Both your health and your sister’s are important. What if you fell ill? I’d be tending to all three of you alone. Don’t you care about ?"
Shannon Quinn glanced at him, pouted, and said, "You should rest too."
"I’ll wait here. We can take turns sleeping; otherwise, neither of us will get any rest."
Shannon Quinn thought for a mont, then nodded and followed Landon Sutton to the arranged room to rest.
She thought now that Leo was safe, she could relax and sleep a bit.
Due to exhaustion, she did fall asleep quickly, but she was also jolted awake by nightmares soon after.
She thought she might never forget the mont when the child disappeared. That feeling hurt thousands of tis more than a knife cutting through her heart.
Leo ca out of the operating room, little arm wrapped in bandages.
The anesthesia was local, so the child was conscious when coming out.
The anesthesia was still effective; the child didn’t feel pain yet, so he didn’t cry when coming out.
Upon seeing Landon Sutton, he instead puckered his lips with grievance: "Daddy."
Landon Sutton bent down and lovingly picked him up: "Does it still hurt?"
Leo shook his head and said, "The doctor gave a shot, so it doesn’t hurt."
The doctor smiled and said, "The injury isn’t severe, and the child will recover quickly. But be careful not to move the hand too much. Regular hospital check-ups are needed."
"Okay, thank you."
Leo sat in Landon Sutton’s arms, looked around, and asked, "Where’s mommy?"
"Mommy’s sleeping," Landon Sutton said, and carried Leo to the room where Shannon Quinn was sleeping.
He gently pushed open the door, placed Leo on the bed. Leo lifted the blanket and carefully avoided his injured hand, preparing to lie beside Shannon Quinn.
Shannon Quinn woke up, smiled seeing the two n, one big and one small.
"Let mommy look at your hand."
Leo said, "Doctor wrapped it up, can’t see."
"Does it hurt?"
Leo shook his head, then looked up at Landon Sutton, timidly said, "Daddy, I’m scared."
"Hmm?"
"There are bad guys."
Only then did Landon Sutton realize the child’s aning, afraid of leaving psychological shadows. He bent down and told Leo, "The bad guys have been caught by the police. No one will hurt Leo anymore."
Leo shifted closer under the blanket, then lay beside Shannon Quinn, and said to Landon Sutton, "Daddy, don’t go."
"Daddy’s not leaving, I’ll nap with mommy."
Shannon Quinn pointed to the empty bed beside him and said, "You rest a bit too."
Landon Sutton smiled and said, "I’ll buy the tickets to go back first."
He always promised her he would rest, but once done at the hospital, he’d go to the police for statents.
Once the matters here were handled, he headed straight to the airport after dinner.
Originally, he thought he could get a good sleep on the plane. Who knew Leo complained of pain once the anesthesia wore off, taking care of him left little ti for rest.
Finally, the plane landed smoothly. Old Master Rhodes and Catherine Yardley both ca to the airport to pick them up.
Having heard about Leo’s kidnapping, they were worried sick.
Seeing Leo with bandages on his arm, the grandmother and great-grandfather were deeply concerned.
After arriving ho, Erin Bishop and Susan Wilde, along with Aidan Lockwood, ca to visit. Aidan played with Leo for a while then left, citing business.
The others stayed for dinner.
Landon Sutton barely slept these past days; naturally, he wasn’t responsible for dinner.
Shannon Quinn asked him to shower and nap and would call him for dinner. Landon didn’t insist; with so many people ho, he could finally rest assured.
Catherine Yardley prepared dinner, while the great-grandfather spent ti with Leo.
Typically stern Shane Royale seed unexpectedly gentle in front of Leo, reminding him not to move his hand while playing with toys.
Shannon Quinn, Susan Wilde, and Erin Bishop chatted while helping in the kitchen.
Speaking of the airport incident again, Shannon Quinn still felt chills and lingering fear.
She wondered if Claire Yardley’s jealousy was so terrifying, leading to such desperate actions.
"I think this kind of person should be locked up without release. Her mind’s twisted; once released, she might hold grudges against you for putting her in, causing more trouble."
"I don’t yet know how the police will handle it. But after this incident, at least we’ve learned a valuable lesson."
Cheryl Marsh was arrested abroad, and Shannon Quinn didn’t know whether to sympathize with her.
While feeling compassionate for Cheryl Marsh’s plight, she recalled the danger her family faced, nearly causing Leo’s life to be lost, so she decided to follow the law’s judgnt.
The third day after the incident was also the day before Shannon Quinn’s wedding.
Shannon Quinn t Cheryl Marsh once.
During the eting, Cheryl Marsh kept apologizing while crying, making it hard not to feel compassion.
Ultimately, Shannon Quinn only said, "We’ll find a hospital to treat your son’s illness, and I’ll keep you updated on the child’s condition, but I’m sorry, I can’t get you out, nor can I forgive you so soon."
Cheryl Marsh nodded tearfully, unable to speak for a while.
After calming down, she said, "Thank you so much, really, thank you."
As a mother, Shannon Quinn understood Cheryl’s emotions but couldn’t comprehend her actions.
There are many ways to raise money, but certainly not by harming others for personal gain.
With the wedding approaching, Shannon Quinn finally slept well.
Early in the morning, Susan Wilde and Erin Bishop ca over to help dress her in the wedding gown and do her makeup.
For the wedding pickup ceremony, Shannon Quinn stayed in her forr residence, acting as her parental ho, waiting for Landon Sutton to co pick her up.
The bridesmaid was Iris; she had long ntioned wanting to be the bridesmaid.
Shannon Quinn agreed imdiately, but Julian Yardley only reluctantly consented after much persuasion.
Sheila Yardley arrived yesterday. Regarding Peach’s matter, Shannon Quinn never asked her about it, nor knew how to start.
Seeing Sheila yardley, she didn’t seem like soone who went through those events.
"Quick, quick! The motorcade is here!" Erin Bishop leaned against the window, marveling at the long row of luxury cars, saying, "Oh my, such an impressive spectacle!"
Iris and Sheila Yardley also looked out curiously. Susan Wilde, in the anti, was styling Shannon Quinn’s hair, sharing a knowing smile with the reflection of Shannon in the mirror.
