Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 774

Chapter 774 I Have a Way To Find Her

On the way to the hospital, Leanna bought some fruits and nutrient supplements as a visiting gift.

When she arrived at the ward, the doctor was changing Daniel's bandage.

So, she sat on the chair by the door to wait.

After a while, Elijah walked over. "Leanna."

She smiled lightly at him before asking, "Don't you have work today?"

"I'm about to."

Then, Elijah paused for a second before saying, "That night... I spoke without thinking. I'm sorry."

Leanna replied, "You don't need to apologize to me. Just like you said, if Aidan is falsely accused, you should just apologize to him."

Elijah's face stiffened and didn't speak, but his gaze landed on the ring on her hand.

After a moment, he asked bitterly, "He proposed to you?"

Leanna nodded. "We've been married for a month."

He replied, "Congratulations."

She answered, "Thank you."

At that moment, the doctor was done and walked out, continuing with their rounds for the hour.

Elijah then said, "Leanna, I'll be heading off now."

"Alright."

After he left, she carried the gifts and entered the ward.

Daniel sat on the hospital bed with a pale face, but he looked a lot better than before.

When he saw her, he politely greeted her, "Miss McKinney."

Then, Leanna placed the bags down. "I just wanted to see how you're recovering."

Daniel laughed. "I'm alright. Still alive."

"The doctor said you shouldn't move around too often. So, call me if you need anything."

He pursed his lips and wanted to ask something, but he couldn't bring himself to say the words.

Leanna understood what was on his mind and sat on the chair beside the bed. "You wanted to ask about Zoe, right? She's doing alright."

"The baby. How did it happen? Can you tell me the details, Miss McKinney?"

Leanna only roughly told him what happened last time when they were rushing to the hospital. So, that was the only thing on his mind as he lay in the hospital these few days.

So, Leanna recounted the story in detail of how Charlotte was taken away by Joseph, but Zoe followed after them because she was worried. She also told him how Zoe has been doing after the baby was lost.

After he listened to the story, his voice turned icy, "Where is Joseph now?"

"He's dead." Leanna paused for a moment before saying, "He's probably dead because no one has found his body until now."

Daniel asked, "He died in Jamesdon?"

She nodded. "Yes."

"I see."

After a while, Leanna spoke, "I came today for one more thing."

Daniel replied, "Be my guest, Mc McKinney. I'll tell you everything I know."

"From Leroy's men finding you and taking you away and how you escaped from their hands. And… Amanda taking you away. I want to know everything."

Daniel didn't understand why she wanted to know about the entire incident. "Why are you asking about this, Miss McKinney?"

Leanna told him honestly, "I don't know why, but Elijah is suspecting this has to do with Aidan."

"But… Elijah had always been somewhat hostile toward President Pearson. You should be aware of that."

"Yes, I know. But since he has this suspicion, I can't let it slide without proving Aidan's innocence. What if someone else brings this up again and puts the blame on Aidan? Besides… if Amanda disappeared in Highside, I may have a way to find her."

Daniel paused for a moment before demanding, "Is that true, Miss McKinney?"

Leanna nodded. "Yes. I have my ways."

Daniel fell silent for a moment before slowly revealing his side of the story.

The truth was similar to their assumptions, but it was just that from Daniel's narration, there were more details that Leanna didn't know.

It was revealed that it wasn't only John who had contacted Leroy.

Nonetheless, neither John nor Leroy had mentioned that person's name, but it seemed highly likely that that person was the mastermind behind everything from the way they talked about that person.

Leroy was also rescued and hidden away by that person.

When they arrived at Highside, they didn't pay a lot of attention to Daniel since he was severely injured. That was why Daniel managed to escape.

Alas, before he managed to contact Elijah, he bumped into Amanda, who put him on drugs, forcing him to be her captive.

She was smart and knew where to hide since many people were looking for her.

Even if the people searched every possible corner of the world for Daniel, they would never consider going to his home.

At least, Daniel had never expected Zoe would suddenly visit his house.

As the story came to this point, Leanna guessed, "If I'm right, she wanted to attack Zoe right then."

Daniel didn't deny it. "Her target has always been me. Plus, she didn't want to make things tricky for herself."

Daniel had always felt guilty toward Amanda because of Franco's passing.

He could let her hurt him but never allow her to hurt others.

Amanda was very well aware of that fact as well, so she didn't proceed with her plans the moment Daniel came out to stop her.

In addition, Amanda knew what Zoe would think since she was a woman herself. Zoe would definitely assume Amanda and Daniel were doing something in the bedroom.

A woman would become irrational the instant she arrived at that conclusion.

But since Daniel's whereabouts were exposed, they couldn't stay hidden for long.

So, Amanda left with Daniel as soon as Zoe departed.

During this time, Amanda had been on the run just to avoid Daniel's men.

Then, Daniel said, "This is the first time Amanda came to Highside. Considering her familiarity with Highside, she wouldn't be able to do this alone at all. So, we've got no lead on this. Elijah was merely making assumptions out of worry. Please don't overthink this, Miss McKinney."

Leanna questioned him instead, "You're right. She can't possibly do this successfully without help. So, someone in Highside is helping her in secret. This person can even avoid Elijah and the others. But have you ever thought about how Amanda could find you at the first moment?"

Daniel didn't really understand where this was leading. "You mean…"

"I have a hypothesis. Is it possible that Leroy had made some sort of pact with Amanda? That's why you could escape from Leroy's hands. She was helping them with something, and they handed you over to her once you were useless."

Daniel furrowed his brow upon hearing her speculation and didn't speak.

Leanna continued, "I heard Elijah mention that Amanda's a great doctor and she's also a doctor with rather loose morals. She has several dealings with shady figures."

"As long as she's still in Highside, I can find her. Once we do, we can prove if my hypothesis is correct."
