Chapter 765 Only One Person Can Do This
After a while, Leanna received a call from Elijah.
"Leanna, Daniel ran out of the hospital. Did he go to Zoe?" he asked.
At his question, she turned to the side and glanced at the person next to her, who was asleep as though he had fainted, before she replied softly, "I'm on my way to the hospital with him."
On the other end of the phone, Elijah let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you. I'll be waiting for you at the entrance."
"Okay."
20 minutes later, the car stopped at the hospital entrance. Elijah hurriedly stepped forward and pulled open the door. The doctors and nurses who were waiting nearby quickly followed suit, lifting Daniel out of the car and rushing him into the hospital.
Leanna got out of the car and frowned as she watched the scene. It looks like Daniel's injuries are more severe than I thought.
After taking a few steps, Elijah realized that Leanna was still there, so he turned back and said, "Thank you, Leanna."
She shook her head and replied, "It's nothing. I…" Initially, she wanted to ask what had happened exactly, but she was also worried about Daniel, so she said, "Let's go in and check on him first."
When they entered the hospital, Daniel had already been taken to the emergency room.
As they stood in the corridor, Elijah spoke first. "We found him yesterday, and he was seriously injured. I went out for a while just now, and he was gone when I came back. I think he most likely went to Zoe."
"He did." She nodded.
"So, Zoe…"
At this moment, she cut him off, saying, "When Daniel arrived, she was with her boyfriend."
Elijah didn't need her to say more, as he knew what the scene was like. After a sigh, he drawled, "Daniel used to have a good friend named Franco. Several years ago, when they were racing, Franco's brakes failed, and he plunged into a valley. Daniel and his team searched the valley for three days before they found Franco's body. Franco had an elder sister named Amanda, who had always doted on him. After his death, she always believed that it was Daniel's fault and held a grudge against him. When Daniel had his accident, she received the news and has been tracing his whereabouts ever since. Amanda is a doctor, but she didn't work at a hospital after graduating. Instead, she roamed around various shady underground places, surrounded by all sorts of shady friends, receiving a lot of information. After Daniel escaped from Leroy, he met Amanda."
Leanna could relate to this. Just like when she was searching for Jethro, she sought help from Ron. It was the same reasoning.
Elijah continued, "While Amanda was treating Daniel's old injuries, she would inject him with sedatives every day and continuously inflict new injuries on him. This went on day after day, tormenting him repeatedly. Fortunately, it was because she held such thoughts that we had the opportunity to rescue Daniel. Otherwise…"
As she listened to his words, she was terrified. "So where is Amanda now?" she asked.
"She managed to escape when we took Daniel to the hospital."
"Does she have many friends in Highside as well?"
"Even if she does, there shouldn't be many. Moreover, the fact that she was able to hide Daniel from us for so long right under our noses proves that someone in Highside is helping her," Elijah explained.
At his words, she parted her lips but didn't know what to say for a moment. Highside… As she looked at his expression, a bad feeling gradually rose in her heart. "Are you suggesting…"
