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…"
"In Highside, there's only one person who can carry out these actions discreetly without being
discovered," he replied.
As she pressed her lips together, she almost immediately retorted, "That's impossible."
At this moment, Elijah's expression eased a little. "Leanna, I didn't mean it that way. It's just that the
situation is unique now, and I can't think of anyone else who would do this."
"You can't make baseless assumptions. Aidan would never do such a thing, and there's no reason for
him to do so," Leanna said. "Besides, when Daniel went missing, both Aidan and I were out of the
country. I knew every person he contacted every day."
"At that time, Daniel was taken away by Leroy. It was only after he arrived at Highside that Amanda
held him hostage. Leanna, don't you think this location is a little hard to accept? I checked, and it was
Amanda's first time coming to Highside. It's impossible for her to…"
"That's enough, Elijah," she interrupted him. "I know what you want to say, but I can assure you that
this has absolutely nothing to do with Aidan."
Hearing that, he fell silent for a moment. "I will investigate this matter. Once we find Amanda,
everything will…"
"I didn't know that President Parker has a hobby of backstabbing others." A nonchalant male voice
interrupted Elijah's remaining words.
A slight change crossed Elijah's face as he looked toward the person who had spoken. "If my guess is
wrong, then I apologize to you in advance, President Pearson. But if it turns out to be as I said, what

are you planning to do?"
Aidan approached with long strides and stopped next to Leanna. His calm demeanor remained
unchanged as he looked at Elijah, and his tone was devoid of fluctuations as he said, "It's not the first
time you have maliciously slandered me, President Parker. Instead of asking me what I will do,
shouldn't you think about how to salvage your reputation when you're exposed?"
As this matter was brought up, Elijah froze, and he appeared somewhat uneasy, with a tinge of
awkwardness accompanying his expression.
Just then, Leanna's phone rang. It was Zoe calling, probably asking about Daniel's condition. However,
she was afraid that if she answered the call, these two men would start fighting.
Fortunately, it seemed that Elijah couldn't stay here any longer, for he said to her, "Leanna, I'll go back
to the company for now. Please let me know if Daniel wakes up."
With her phone in her hand, she nodded. "Okay."
After that, Elijah hurriedly left, and Leanna answered the phone, "Hello?"
On the other end of the line, Zoe asked, "Nana, how is it going over there?"
Leanna turned around and whispered, "Daniel is still in the emergency room." After a pause, she
continued, "How about you?"
"I just sent Brandon away. Although he didn't say much, I feel…" Zoe felt overwhelmed and didn't know
how to explain.
"Don't worry. Take a moment to calm down. Let's talk tomorrow," Leanna said.
Following a brief moment of silence, Zoe asked, "So… how is he doing?"
Leanna recounted what Elijah had told her, but she omitted the latter half of his speculations.
After a long pause, Zoe said, "Nana, send me the location of the hospital."
