Chloe Reed’s red lips tightened, and she gave her fingers a slight wiggle.
Only then did Walker Grant release her hand.
She wrote on his palm: "Don’t you yell at Daniel. I’m the one who told him to do it. He’s my bodyguard, so of course he does what I say. If you yell at him again, I’m leaving."
The last stroke had barely been traced when Walker Grant gripped her hand again.
His voice was tinged with a hint of resignation. "Alright, I’ll listen to you."
Then, he turned to Daniel, his tone turning cold. "You’re her bodyguard. Your job is to protect her. If anything like this happens again, her safety is your number one priority!"
"Yeah, okay, okay, I get it." Daniel nodded repeatedly. "You have no idea, I actually regret it too. Ugh... Why did I listen to her? I’m just a softie. I can’t stand to see her upset."
Walker Grant’s tone was icy. "Is there anything else?"
Daniel froze for a second, then said, "Nope, nothing."
But he didn’t get up.
Walker Grant’s expression darkened.
’Strange.’
’His eyes are covered with gauze, he’s sitting on a hospital bed in a patient gown, and his face is pale and sickly... so why is his aura still so powerful?’
Daniel felt the chill in the air and instinctively stood up. He glanced between them, and then it hit him.
’Tsk...’
’Does he think I’m in the way?’
’Heh, what a scheming man!’
’Now that he’s blind, he has the perfect excuse to keep Chloe by his side, doesn’t he?’
Daniel shot Walker Grant a contemptuous look and said, "Alright then, Chloe, I’ll head out. Just text me if you need anything, and I’ll be right over."
Chloe Reed nodded at him.
The door to the hospital room opened and closed, and silence fell over the room once more.
Chloe Reed pulled her hand away and started fiddling with her phone.
