Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 767

Chapter 767 Wait Until He’s Better

Zoe waited in the ward all night. When she got tired of sitting, she would get up and walk around, and when she got tired from walking, she would nestle back on the couch and stare out the window, lost in thought.

In the late hours of the night, a drizzle began to fall.

Listening to the sound of rain, she didn't realize when she drifted off to sleep on the couch. When she woke up again, it was already dawn.

As she rubbed her eyes and prepared to get up and loosen her muscles, she realized that she had a garment draped over her.

She instinctively looked toward the hospital bed but didn't see Daniel's figure. At once, she was shocked when she remembered the doctor's words from the previous night. So, she hurriedly rushed out of the room.

The moment she stepped out of the ward, ready to find a doctor, she noticed two familiar figures in the corridor, causing her to come to a gradual halt.

Elijah was facing her and said, "Zoe, you're awake."

At this moment, Zoe stared at the back of the person in the patient's gown and remained stunned for a few seconds before regaining her composure. "Y-Yeah."

Meanwhile, Daniel turned to Elijah and continued, "I'm fine here. You should send her back."

"Okay." Elijah nodded.

Daniel turned around and returned to his ward with an IV stand. Throughout the entire process, he didn't even glance at Zoe.

As the door to the ward closed, Zoe finally snapped back to reality. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but just as she was about to approach, Elijah said, "Zoe, let me send you back."

"But I—"

"The doctor said Daniel needs more rest. Let's wait until he's better before discussing anything."

Hearing that, she swallowed the words that she was about to say. After Elijah sent her to the entrance of her apartment building, he left right away. Zoe walked in listlessly. As she passed by a breakfast joint, she bought herself a meal to go.

While waiting for the shop owner to pack her order, a man walked out from inside, opened an umbrella, and left.

Her gaze followed the movement of that umbrella. It was the same style as the one Daniel had lied to her about, claiming it was a memento from his mother, but it was actually part of a promotion happening downstairs at the supermarket.

"Here, miss, your breakfast."

Only when the shop owner's voice came through did Zoe snap back to reality, and she quickly reached out to take it. "Thank you."

With her breakfast in hand, she tried entering her apartment but failed to input the correct password multiple times, as though her mind was filled with unknown thoughts. She decided not to bother anymore and squatted by the door, starting to nibble on the pancake she had just bought.

After a while, the adjacent door opened, and Leanna walked over. "Zoe, what are you doing here, squatting?"

At her voice, Zoe couldn't help but feel a tingling at the tip of her nose. "I forgot the password, so I can't get in." As she uttered the last few words, her throat choked up, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Hearing that, Leanna pressed her lips together and turned to input the password. After the door opened, she helped Zoe up. "Let's go in."

As Zoe bit into her pancake, tears streamed down one after another. "Nana, have you had breakfast? If you haven't, I can go downstairs and buy this for you."

"I've eaten." Leanna smiled.

Assisting Zoe onto the couch, Leanna went to the kitchen and poured a glass of milk for her. She then sat next to Zoe and asked softly, "Did you talk things out with Daniel?"
