How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 229

Chapter 229

When they arrived at the hospital, Joseph parked the car and went to check on Elodie. She'd managed to doze off for a bit, but lately, even in sleep, her brow remained unconsciously furrowed, as if she couldn't escape some lingering worry.

He paused in the doorway, hesitating.

Instead of waking her right away, he stood silent.

Elodie's sleep was light, and she stirred awake just moments after the car stopped moving.

She glanced at the time, her expression already cool and composed. "Thank you," she said, her tone polite but distant.

She opened the door and stepped out.

Joseph nodded, watching as Elodie disappeared into the building.

When she emerged with her medication, she was surprised to find Joseph's car still waiting at the curb.

She frowned slightly.

Joseph rolled down the window and offered a simple explanation, "I canceled my other plans, so I thought I'd give you a ride back to the hotel."

He'd considered getting out to open the door for her, but on second thought, he figured Elodie would only feel awkward if he did.

So he stayed put.

Elodie hesitated for a moment, but since he'd waited just for her, refusing him now would have seemed needlessly formal.
