Not long after, the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital.
Lizzy unbuckled her seatbelt and waved at Elijah. "Alright, you may go now."
"Mom," Elijah called out to her, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. "Under what
circumstances would there be a problem with the test results?"
Lizzy thought he was still worried about his father's medical examination results, so she assured him,
"Don't worry, I was with your father during the examination. There won't be any problems. Stop
overthinking it and return to the company."
Without saying anything else, Elijah nodded and said, "Then, I'll be going now."
Instead of believing in Aidan, he would rather believe in his mother.
Soon, Elijah drove away and went to another hospital.
Inside the hospital room, Daniel was packing his things.
Elijah walked over in big strides and asked, "What are you doing?"
Daniel replied, "I'm about to be discharged."
That made Elijah frown. "Did the doctor agree to it?"
"He did." Daniel changed the subject. "Have you talked to Aidan?"
At the mention of that man, Elijah felt upset and nodded, "Yeah, I did."
Knowing Aidan's character, Daniel thought Elijah must have been scolded when he went to apologize
to the other.
He patted Elijah's shoulder and comforted him, "Anyway, Miss McKinney and Aidan are already
married. It's time for you to let go and stop targeting him."
"Amanda's suspicious arrival in Highside was already a strange occurrence. I was just suspecting..."
"If you didn't have any grudges against him, even if you had doubts, you wouldn't have said it in front of
Miss McKinney without any evidence."
Elijah was momentarily speechless and sat down to massage his temples, not saying anything.
He had always been straightforward, except when it came to Aidan...
He knew in his heart that he couldn't compare to Aidan in every aspect. Therefore, he could do nothing,
even if he had feelings for Leanna. He could only watch as she was taken away from him.
How could he not hate Aidan for that? The answer was no.
Daniel said, "Alright, let's go. I don't want to stay a moment longer in this room. It reeks of disinfectant."
Elijah looked at him and asked, "What are your plans after this?"
"What plans?"
"Are you going to stay in Highside or... will you return to Lachstein?"
Upon hearing this question, Daniel paused for a moment and didn't answer.
Elijah quickly continued, "If you're going to stay in Highside, then forget it. But if you're going back to
Lachstein, I would like to ask you for a favor."
Since Elijah rarely spoke this way, Daniel sat down next to him and replied, "What favor?"
"Do another paternity test between Louis McKinney and William Morris."
Daniel was taken aback. "Did you find something?"
While shaking his head, Elijah replied, "I didn't find anything. It's just that Aidan... he said something
vague. Although I don't believe him, I can't rest assured without getting confirmation. Besides... even if
he wanted to retaliate against me, there's no reason for him to start with this matter."
"Is he suspecting the paternity test results because you were the one who conducted it?"
Elijah sighed. "He didn't say that he suspects me, but he keeps causing trouble for me and has even
involved my mother. Doing the paternity test again is also a way to give my mother an explanation."
Daniel assured him, "I understand, but... I too felt something was wrong when the paternity test results
came out. It's hard to believe that Louis McKinney and Jethro McKinney are father and son."
After a pause, he added, "I will return to Lachstein. There's something I need to deal with there."
...
That night, Leanna was staring blankly at a blank notebook in her office when she heard a gentle knock
on the door.
She thought it was Zoe urging her to go home, so she packed up her things and yelled, "Zoe, wait for
me. I'll be right—"
As she spoke, she unconsciously raised her head, and her gaze fell upon the tall figure by the door.
Meeting her gaze, Aiden raised an eyebrow.
Leanna was somewhat surprised and a little delighted. She glanced at the time and realized that it was
not even 7.00PM yet. "Why are you here?"
Aiden replied, "To pick you up from work."
"Did you finish your work so early today?"
"No."
Leanna asked, "So why—"
Aiden interrupted her, "Let's go on a date."
Upon hearing that, Leanna was momentarily stunned, then she smiled.
When they left, Zoe stood at the door, looking like she had been forced to watch the couple being all
lovey-dovey.
After a while, when it was time to leave work, Zoe waited until all the young women left before locking
the studio's door. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a low male voice behind her. "Zoe."
Zoe froze for a few seconds, then turned around. "Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital? Why—"
Daniel replied, "I've been discharged."
Zoe replied with an "oh" and didn't ask any further questions.
Since he had been discharged, it meant his injuries were stable.
Then, Daniel asked, "Didn't your boyfriend come to pick you up?"
The words "we broke up" were about to escape from her lips but seemed to be resisting her, rendering
her unable to speak.
Later, she explained, "He still has some work to do, and I live nearby, so I can just walk home."
Daniel looked ahead for a moment, then suddenly spoke. "Let me walk you home."
"Huh?"
Without explaining, Daniel started walking forward, heading toward Zoe's place.
Zoe hesitated for a few seconds before following him.
On the way there, neither of them had much to say, and the atmosphere became awkward.
Just as Zoe bowed her head and was lost in thought, she heard Daniel's voice. "I'm going back to
Lachstein."
Zoe instinctively looked up at him, but Daniel kept his gaze forward, his expression calm as if he was
stating a fact.
After a while, Zoe replied, "Well... that's good. Since you're not from Highside anyway, it's better to go
back to where you belong."
Daniel asked, "Do you want me to leave that badly?"
After chuckling, Zoe retorted, "It doesn't have much to do with me, and I don't have any reason, or am I
in any position to keep you here. Also, would you stay if I said I don't want you to—"
Daniel stopped walking and looked at her before slowly saying, "As long as you want me here, I won't
leave."
The last word was still hanging on her lips, and his sudden words made her frozen in her spot. Maybe
she hadn't heard it clearly, so she stammered, "W-What did you say?"
Daniel repeated word by word, "As long as you want me here, I won't leave."
After a long time, Zoe smiled and said, "I wish you a smooth journey home. Remember to let me know
if you're back in Highside, and I'll treat you to a meal. After all, we were friends once, so it's only right
that I play my role as a host here."
Daniel didn't say anything else but withdrew his gaze and urged calmly, "Let's go."
