Young Men These Days Are Really Something Else
Recalling that Zoe’s phone was still in Joseph’s car, Leanna nodded and said, “Okay, I got it.”
Zoe waved at her. “Be careful on the way, Nana.”
“I’m leaving now. As for you, don’t move around. There is a nurse at the entrance. Just call her if you
need anything.”
“Don’t worry.” Zoe blew a kiss at Leanna. “I can lie down all day.”
After leaving the ward, Leanna took out her phone and dialed Joseph’s number.
The phone rang for a long time before someone picked up.
Leanna went straight to the point. “Mr. Woodley, my friend’s phone is in your car. Is now a good time for
me to go and get it?”
Joseph paused for a moment before replying, “I have already sent the car for repairs. I’ll have someone
look for it and if they find it, I’ll have it delivered to her. How is your friend doing now?”
“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Woodley. She’s not doing well.”
Joseph sighed at that. “I’m sorry. I should take responsibility for this.”
“There’s no need,” Leanna uttered calmly. “I should thank you for bringing my friend to the hospital.
She could have been in much worse condition if it weren’t for you.”
“Don’t mention it, Miss McKinney. It’s the least I can do.”
Leanna didn’t want to waste more time exchanging pleasantries with him. Hence, she told him straight
out, “Mr. Woodley, you can just deliver the phone to the entrance on the first floor. I have other matters
to attend to, so I won’t disturb you further.”
With that, she ended the call.
Leanna put away her phone and as soon as she got into the car, she saw Aidan waiting for her inside.
When the man looked at Leanna’s cold expression, he asked in a calm tone, “Whom were you talking
to? You seem quite upset.”
“Joseph Woodley. Zoe’s phone is still with him.”
“I’ll have Keaton pick it up.”
“It’s alright. I asked him to have it delivered. You can have someone pick it up later.”
“Sure,” Aidan replied.
…
Daphne was recognized by two fans as soon as she entered the hospital.
To avoid trouble, she chose not to take the elevator and instead used the adjacent emergency
staircase.
Zoe’s ward was on the eighth floor. By the time Daphne reached the sixth floor, she was already feeling
a little out of breath.
After resting for a few seconds, she continued her ascent.
Just as she stepped onto the stairs leading to the eighth floor, she instinctively looked up and met a
pair of calm eyes.
We are bumping into each other again, she thought as her eyes fell upon a crushed cigarette butt.
Feeling rather speechless, she quickly averted her gaze and nonchalantly asked while continuing to
walk up the stairs, “How is Zoe doing?”
Louis withdrew his hands and slipped them into the pockets of his pants. “She’s resting in the ward.”
When Daphne finally arrived on the eighth floor, she took a short minute to catch her breath before
asking, “Aren’t you going in?”
“I’ll go in later.”
“I’ll wait too, then.” Daphne fanned herself with her hand and leaned against the wall to rest.
“Feeling warm?” Louis looked at her, to which Daphne responded with a nod. “A little.”
As he looked at her, he noticed that her sweat had already dampened the stray strands of hair on her
forehead.
His hand hanging beside his torso moved, and he was gently removing the mask from her face the next
moment.
Daphne clearly didn’t expect this action, as her eyes widened when she stared at him in astonishment.
After a few seconds of locking eyes, Louis shifted his gaze to the side and handed her the mask he
took off. “Wearing a mask during exercise can lead to oxygen deprivation.”
Daphne also came back to her senses and she hurriedly reached out to take the mask. “Oh. Thank
you.”
“Do you still feel hot?”
“A-A little bit.”
“I’ll go buy you some water.”
With that, he turned around and left.
“Hey, there’s no—”
Before Daphne could finish her sentence, Louis had already disappeared into the corridor.
She stood there holding the mask, and her gaze once again fell on the nearby cigarette butt.
She only let out a breath after a long time.
When Louis returned with the water, Daphne was sitting outside Zoe’s ward.
He then handed her the bottle after he twisted the cap open for her.
“Thanks.” She reached over and took it before she stood up, pointing at the ward. “Are you coming in?”
“You can go ahead. I won’t be joining you.”
Puzzled, she asked again. “Why not?”
“It’s inappropriate for me to do that. I’m just glad to see her fine. I’m off.”
Daphne nodded. “Goodbye.”
After Louis left, she looked away and pushed open the door to the ward.
Inside the room, Zoe was sitting on the hospital bed, staring blankly out of the window.
She quickly composed herself when she heard the sound of the door opening, as she thought Leanna
had returned to the room. But when she turned her head and saw Daphne, she paused momentarily
before asking, “Why are you here?”
“I went to your studio this morning and heard that something happened to you. And since I couldn’t get
in touch with Leanna, I contacted Jonathan instead. He was the one who told me. So, what happened
to you?”
Hearing that, Zoe smiled and lowered her head. “I’m alright. I’m doing well.”
However, Daphne could tell from the woman’s condition that things weren’t quite okay. But seeing how
Zoe didn’t want to talk about it, Daphne didn’t ask further. Instead, she said, “By the way, Louis also
came. He was standing outside the door, but he didn’t come in. He said it’s enough for him to see you
alright.”
“Has he left now?” Zoe asked.
Daphne nodded at that. “He left when I came in.”
After chatting for a while, Zoe questioned, “Has that sc*mbag harassed you again?”
“No.”
“Good. He has probably learned his lesson.”
Daphne continued to stay in the ward with Zoe until Leanna brought food.
After leaving the room, Daphne took out her mask and put it on, but not before staring at it for a few
seconds.
Young men these days are really something else. Not only are they good-looking, but they also know
just what to do, she mused.
On the way back, Daphne’s assistant sent her the upcoming schedule. The filming of a new movie
would start in a month. Before that, there was a new product launch event and two advertisement
shoots.
It was neither a relaxed nor busy schedule.
After checking it, Daphne leaned back in her seat and slowly closed her eyes.
When the car arrived at the underground parking lot, she asked the driver and her assistant to go
home, and she went ahead and took the elevator herself.
As the elevator went up slowly, she remembered that she accidentally broke her water cup this
morning, and there weren’t many toiletries left. Since it was still early, she pressed the elevator button
for the first floor to head to the mall for a bit.
The sun had just set, leaving behind a few traces of the evening glow.
Daphne had just walked out of the residential complex and was about to head toward the mall when
someone suddenly stopped her.
It was Theodore, who sported a gloomy expression with a hint of exhaustion. He seemed to have just
recovered from a serious illness. His voice was cold when he stated, “You have finally shown up now.
I’ve been waiting here for days.”
Daphne took a step back, her face devoid of any emotion as she peered at him.
“I’m warning you—stop trying to do something if you don’t want everything to fall apart. Do you have
any idea how much I have lost because of you?”
“You brought it upon yourself. What does it have to do with me?”
As soon as he said that, he grabbed her wrist and tried to drag her to a nearby car.
However, a security guard walked over before Daphne could say anything. “Hey, you! What are you
doing? Let her go!”
Theodore only ignored him and exerted more force as he attempted to drag Daphne away.
