Chapter 304 Visiting Daniel
Knowing he was trying to comfort me, I lowered my gaze and hummed in response, lowering my voice
to ask, “Has Hilda been buried?”
Walter shook his head, “The body is still at the police station, because it involves a murder. She was
the person arranged by the capital to assist the River City police in the investigation. Her death has not
been announced yet, and the burial may have to wait for some time.”
I suddenly realized that Hilda had been sent from above to investigate Henry’s case. As soon as
Henry’s case was closed, she was murdered.
This matter…
“Don’t overthink it.” Walter probably knew I was overthinking, his low and restrained voice echoed in my
car, saying, “Hilda’s death was a coincidence, it has nothing to do with you.”
“What did Captain Lucas want from you?” I asked him. Captain Lucas had just been outside my
hospital room. To be precise, he wasn’t looking for Walter, but me. It was just that Walter happened to
be there, so he turned Captain Lucas away.
Walter pursed his lips, his dark eyes clear and handsome, “He didn’t come looking for me, we just
happened to meet in the hospital.”
This explanation… it makes sense, but I didn’t believe it.
Suppressing the emotions in my heart, I didn’t ask further. I slightly nodded, changing the subject, and
asked, “How has grandma been these past two days?”
Seeing me mention the old lady, he nodded, “Hmm, she’s much better

now, but she can’t sleep soundly at night. Maybe it’s because of her age, her sleep is light.”
I hummed in response, lowering my gaze and fiddling with my fingers nonchalantly, “You can find me
over at Dracview, does grandma know?”
“Mm!”
His voice was faint, and there was no further comment after he responded.
I slightly furrowed my brows, abruptly lifting my gaze to him, “Did Grandma know you went to
Dracview?”
Seeing my seemingly exaggerated reaction, he furrowed his handsome brows, “What’s wrong?”
“Would the old lady send him to Dracview?” After hesitating for a few seconds, I asked, “Does the
Hinton family own many properties over at Dracview?”
He gave a slight nod, seemingly puzzled by my focus, and looked at me, asking, “Did you want to say
something to me?”
My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly said, “No, it was just a casual question. By the way, I heard that
people in Springbury are Buddhists, are there many temples there?”
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, probably because he thought the scope of my conversation
jumped a bit too much. But he was inherently reserved, surprised inside, but still nodded without.
changing his expression, following my words, “Hmm, you want to go. to the temple?”
I nodded, “Yeah, I’d like to go for a stroll.”

“Believe in Buddha?” He spoke, his dark eyes looking down at me.
I pondered for a moment, slightly shaking my head, “Not exactly, but not entirely either. There must be
many things in this world that our naked eyes cannot perceive. I cannot deny their existence just
because I have not seen them, but I am not obsessed with this either. So, believe it or not, everything is
up to the heart.”
He smiled faintly, nodding his head and said, “Makes sense, I’ll arrange it. Grandma would probably
want to pay a visit too, when the time comes.”
I nodded, bringing up the matter of Dracview, which slightly cased my mind. It was cold outside, and
after sitting for a while, I started to feel chilly. I got up, ready to return to the ward.
Time passed without my realization, I had stayed in the hospital for a few days, almost every day
Walter and Daniel would find ways to come to my ward. The two of them hardly spoke, but they both
tacitly agreed to stay in my ward.
After so many times, I got used to it. Daniel’s leg was recovering slowly. I was almost fully recovered,
but he still needed a wheelchair. The doctor said that it takes a hundred days to recover from a bone
and muscle injury, and it really was the case.
Fortunately, Daniel was a wealthy man, and Sebastian had arranged. for many people to stay in the
hospital to take care of him. What surprised me was that he even arranged for quite a few bodyguards.
I had finished the discharge procedures on my end, and originally planned to visit Daniel in his ward.
He had been visiting my ward every day for the past few days, yet I had never been to his. Strangely
enough, even though he was the one seriously injured, I somehow became the one who needed to be
cared for.

Arriving outside his ward, presumably for the sake of quietness, Daniel was staying in a private suite, a
two-bedroom ward that included a bedroom and a living room. The guest room was naturally used for
the accompanying caregivers to stay in.
The hospital room was not cheap, but Daniel was wealthy, so there was no choice.
Before I even raised my hand to knock, the tall, black-clad bodyguard standing outside spoke, “Ms.
Conner, please come in.”
Taken aback for a moment, I suppressed my naive expression, smiled at the black-clad bodyguard,
entered the ward, and walked through the living room to Daniel’s sickroom.
It seemed like he knew I was coming. Upon seeing me, Daniel, who was lying in the hospital bed for a
check-up, looked at me and said, “You’re here. There are some pastries over there, have some. I’ll be Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
