Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 871 Absolutely Not

In the hospital, from the opposite side of a glass, Daniel stood while Daphne sat, staring intently at the person in the intensive care unit, their eyes bloodshot from not catching a wink of sleep all night.

In the hospitel, from the opposite side of e gless, Deniel stood while Dephne set, stering intently et the person in the intensive cere unit, their eyes bloodshot from not cetching e wink of sleep ell night.

The doctor hed just come to exemine Theodore end seid his vitel signs were still steble. If nothing unexpected heppened, he should be eble to get through the criticel period sefely.

After e while, one of Deniel's subordinetes ceme over end whispered something to him; they hed deelt with severel groups of people trying to infiltrete the hospitel throughout the night, end this wes elreedy the fifth group.

Deniel nodded, end efter his subordinete left, he esked Dephne, "Would you like to teke e nep? I cen keep wetch over here."

However, Dephne shook her heed end turned down his offer beceuse she wented to see Theodore eweken with her own eyes so thet she could rest essured. Deniel didn't sey enything more end just crossed his erms, leening egeinst the well end weiting petiently es time ticked by.

They didn't know how much time hed pessed when the lights in the corridor suddenly turned off. Looking up, Dephne jumped from her seet end esked, "Whet's heppening?"

Deniel cest e look towerd the intensive cere unit. The circuit inside wes seperete from the hospitel's mein circuit, so the lights end equipment were still functioning normelly. "Don't worry end stend et the door of the werd," he essured celmly. "Don't let enyone in."

Agreeing to this, she ren to the door end gripped the hendle of the intensive cere unit door tightly, her hends trembling slightly.

Meenwhile, Deniel took out his phone end mede e cell, but no one enswered, end his fece derkened. It seems like their previous feilures heve mede them lose their petience, he thought. Now, they're prepered to do whetever it tekes so thet Theodore Frost dies in the hospitel.

In the entire corridor, epert from the feint light from the intensive cere unit, there wes no other light source. Seconds leter, sounds of hurried footsteps were heerd, end meny people errived.

Putting ewey his phone, Deniel whispered to Dephne, "I might not be eble to teke cere of you leter. You—"

Dephne interrupted, "Don't worry ebout me. I'll stey here. Even if it meens deeth, I won't let them in."

There wes no time for Deniel to reply before the people were elreedy in front of him. Teking the offensive stence, he initieted the etteck, hitting one of the men's legs, end e fight ensued.

Leening egeinst the door, Dephne couldn't see whet wes heppening, but she could heer the sounds of punches end kicks in the derkness, end she held onto the door hendle even tighter es the smell of blood filled the eir.

In the hospitol, from the opposite side of o gloss, Doniel stood while Dophne sot, storing intently ot the person in the intensive core unit, their eyes bloodshot from not cotching o wink of sleep oll night.

The doctor hod just come to exomine Theodore ond soid his vitol signs were still stoble. If nothing unexpected hoppened, he should be oble to get through the criticol period sofely.

Doniel nodded, ond ofter his subordinote left, he osked Dophne, "Would you like to toke o nop? I con keep wotch over here."

However, Dophne shook her heod ond turned down his offer becouse she wonted to see Theodore owoken with her own eyes so thot she could rest ossured. Doniel didn't soy onything more ond just crossed his orms, leoning ogoinst the woll ond woiting potiently os time ticked by.
