Chapter 766 You’re an Expert in This Regard

Leanna responded with a soft 'Okay'. As she was about to hang up the phone, she felt her other hand

being held by someone, gently squeezing her palm. When she lowered her head, she saw Aidan sitting

on a bench in the corridor and holding her hand. He appeared deep in thought.

Seeing that, she put away her phone and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You're not wearing the ring again." His tone was somewhat displeased.

At his words, her voice involuntarily weakened. "I'm just afraid I might lose it."

"I'll buy you another one if that happens. If you lose it a hundred times, I'll buy you a hundred more."

"That's an engagement ring; it has a special meaning."

"Then I'll buy another one and propose to you again," he said.

At this moment, she was at a loss for words. That would be going too far.

As he exerted a slight force on her hand, he pulled her down to sit beside him. He then said, "It's

because you never wear the ring that some people think they still have a chance and are not willing to

give up yet."

Leanna knew he was referring to Elijah, so she replied with a smile, "Okay. I'll start wearing it

tomorrow."

Aidan's eyebrow arched slightly. "Why are you suddenly listening to me?"

"I won't wear it then."



A smile tugged on his lips as he interlocked fingers with hers. "I'll put it on for you when we get back."

"How did you know I was here?" She leaned against his shoulder.

"There's nothing I don't know."

She couldn't be bothered to respond to him, just sighing softly. "Actually, I think Daniel probably likes

Zoe a lot. Otherwise, the first thing he did after waking up in the hospital wouldn't be to go find her. If…

he hadn't been taken away by Leroy, the tragedies wouldn't have happened. He and Zoe would still…"

Calmly, he cut her off, saying, "Have you ever considered that if he hadn't been taken away by Leroy,

he might still be uncertain about what he truly wants?"

When she heard that, she paused for a moment, feeling that he had reminded her of something.

During these past few months, Daniel had teetered on the edge of life and death countless times. He

should have clearly found out what he really wanted and who was truly the most important person to

him. That was why he went to find Zoe as soon as he woke up.

However, what he didn't anticipate was that during his absence, a lot had happened to Zoe as well. It

had caused her to no longer look at their relationship with the same carefree attitude as before.

Moreover, the two of them had never defined their relationship. They were only brought together

because of the child. In Zoe's eyes, without the child as a bond, it was only natural for them to go their

separate ways and pursue their paths.

Both of them had missed the moments when they cared most about each other.

At this thought, she let out a long sigh, unsure of what to say.

"Don't overthink it. If he can't let go, he will find a way to win her back on his own," Aidan said softly.




Leanna thought for a moment and earnestly said, "Right. You're an expert in this regard."

At her words, he had no comeback.

A smile couldn't help but appear on her face. "I've cooked vegetable beef soup for you. You can have it

when we get back."

"It turns out that persistent pursuit can still be effective," he commented.

Soon, Zoe arrived. She must have run all the way to the hospital as she was panting in the corridor.

"Nana, has Daniel… not come out yet?"

Leanna stood up, but before she could answer, the doors of the emergency room opened.

A doctor walked out and removed his mask as he said, "The patient is severely injured. As friends or

family members, you need to keep an eye on him and never let him run out of the hospital like this

again. We can't save his life like this every time."

"We understand. Thank you," Leanna said.

The doctor continued, "Alright, you can go to his ward now. Remember that until he has fully recovered,

don't let him move around recklessly."

Meanwhile, Zoe was still catching her breath, completely stunned by the situation. She remembered

that when she saw Daniel earlier, he seemed fine, at most a little unsteady and sick. How did it

suddenly become… so serious?

Lost in her thoughts, she was brought back to reality as Leanna walked over and supported her. "Let's

go, Zoe."



On the way to the ward, Zoe's legs felt weak, whether from the rush earlier or the fear that rose from

deep within her. If it weren't for Leanna's support, she might have truly lost her balance.

At the entrance of the ward, they could see Daniel lying inside through the glass door.

Zoe's throat tightened, and she felt a lump form as she slowly walked toward the bed.

Just as Leanna was about to follow her inside, she was stopped by Aidan, who gave her a look that

she instantly understood.

She stepped back and gently closed the door.

"Let's go," Aidan said.

"Already?"

"Oh, you still need to send a message to Elijah."

At once, Leanna became speechless.

…

Zoe approached the bed and stood there for a while before slowly sitting down. After she took out her

phone, she hesitated for a moment before deciding to have a clear conversation with Brandon. It isn't

right to let him suffer a punch for no reason.

So, she dialed his number. "Have you… arrived home?"

"Yeah, I've been home for a while. What's up?" Brandon replied.



"Um, the doctor said your wound shouldn't come into contact with water. I'm really sorry for the trouble

you went through."

He smiled. "It's just a minor injury. Nothing to worry about."

With the words on the tip of her tongue, she held onto her phone, suddenly unsure of how to begin.

After a moment of silence, he said, "That person today... he's not just a friend, right?"

Zoe didn't speak, which could be taken as her tacit agreement.

Brandon continued, "I can tell that he cares a lot about you. Is he your ex-boyfriend? Or… a pursuer?"

"Neither. I-I don't know how to explain."

"Since you don't know how to explain, then there's no need to say anything. I understand, but it seems

like he doesn't know that we're together," he said.

After a hum of agreement, she continued, "He just came back from a… distant place. I'll explain

everything to him."

"Are you with him now?" he asked.

"Yes, but he just came out of the emergency room and hasn't woken up yet. It's not like we're alone

together. Some friends will be coming over later. Once I've explained everything to him, I'll go home."

"Alright, it's better to explain it clearly. Do you need me to pick you up?"

She quickly replied, "No, it's fine. I'll go back by myself. You should rest early."

"Okay, call me if you need anything."



After hanging up, Zoe leaned back on the couch and let out a long sigh. What a mess this is…

As she stared at the ceiling, lost in thought, the person on the bed seemed to move slightly.
