Chapter 533

Once the couple was gone, Zoe looked away only to meet Daniel’s gaze. She cleared her throat and pulled her hand away. “It’s not that serious. I can walk by myself. You don’t have to—”

Zoe whispered, “Please don’t.”

Daniel propped her up and helped her walk, and they left the hospital.

“She can make breakfast and lunch for you. But what about dinner? Or supper.”
