Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 472

Zoe was going to persuade him, but helplessness clouded her when words surged to her tongue. This kid is way more stubborn than Leanna.

Daniel suggested, “Let’s head there together. I wanna meet Miss McKinney too.”

She was speechless at that suggestion. Why does he keep butting into others’ business?

At the hospital, the trio stood in front of the door to the patient room, noticing the lights in it were turned off. She whispered, “She must be asleep. Should we leave?”

Louis seated himself on a chair and leaned his head against the wall. Indifferently, he replied, “You guys can leave. I’ll stay.”

“But you—”

Daniel pulled Zoe before she could finish her words. He then spoke to Louis, “Very well, then. Ring us up if there’s anything.”

Louis hummed in response and Daniel dragged her out of the hospital, at which she released herself from his grasp. Her brows knitted together. “How could you let him stay right at the door all alone? He’s—”

“It’s gonna be a white night for him anyways,” he elucidated. “Instead of letting him do something stupid somewhere we don’t know, Aidan’s men are at the hospital. They’ll keep an eye on him. Besides, Miss McKinney is just right in there. He won’t do anything impulsive.”

Zoe figured that he had a point. No matter what, the one who was hurt the most and suffered from a big blow was Louis. Just why does he have such a feckless father? If only he doesn’t have Jethro’s blood in him…

Noticing her dazed expression, Daniel approached closer to her. “Something on your mind?”

Raising her gaze, she looked at that face in close proximity and retreated instinctively. However, she did not expect the fleet of stairs behind her and she fell backward, unprepared.

He hurriedly stretched and wrapped his arm around her waist to pull her back, but her face fell at that instant. Why do we keep getting touchy today? It’s like I’m doing it on purpose!

After stabilizing her footing, she widened the distance between them and smiled lightly. “Sorry for the trouble today. We should head-on with our way from here. I—”

“Where do you live?”

“Huh?”

He added, “I went to your place last night, but no one’s there.”
