Chapter 353:

“Sorry for pulling you away from your meeting,” Hadley murmured.

“Don’t worry about it. Work can wait,” Denver reassured her.

Meanwhile, Eric, standing a short distance away, showed signs of impatience.

“Let’s keep things moving. We’ve got important matters to handle.”

“Eric.”

Denver had noticed Eric earlier but hadn’t had the chance to greet him. He was now curious about Eric’s presence with Hadley.

Was Eric still harboring feelings for her?

“Listen.” With his cigarette still in hand, Eric gestured towards Hadley’s right hand. “She’s injured. You need to get her to a hospital immediately.”

“What?” Denver reacted with surprise.

Upon noticing her bandaged hand, he cursed softly under his breath, frustrated with himself. “I should have stayed closer to you!” He was upset that he hadn’t noticed her injury sooner.

“Please, don’t worry about it.”

Hadley quickly grabbed Denver’s arm, urging him not to blame himself. “Show me.”

Denver reached out gently, pausing before touching her. “Hadley, tell me where it hurts. What exactly happened? Is it serious?”

“Look here…”

Lifting her bandaged hand, Hadley tried to reassure him. “It’s just a cut from some glass. It isn’t too serious.”

Denver examined the bandage, concern etched on his face. “It looks pretty serious to me. You’re bleeding quite a bit…”

At that moment, Denver accidentally brushed the wound, causing Hadley to wince.

Seeing her reaction, Denver’s complexion turned pale. “This looks serious. We should head to the hospital immediately!”

He carefully supported her arm, offering comfort. “Take it easy. I’ve got you.”

Denver then glanced back at Eric. “Eric, thank you for your help, but we need to leave…”

“I understand.” Eric interrupted him with a dismissive gesture. “Get going fast.”

Ensuring Hadley’s safety was their top concern.

“Okay, we’re off now. Hadley, let’s go.”

Throughout the interaction, Hadley didn’t glance back at Eric, not even as they departed.

Eric watched them leave, chuckling at his own situation.

Despite Hadley’s refusal to let Eric assist or even come close, she depended comfortably on Denver.

Just then, Eric coughed as he inhaled smoke awkwardly.

Eric suddenly choked, his eyes watering from the intensity of the smoke.

At that moment, he felt as if everything was falling apart.

Later, in the hospital, the doctor examined Hadley’s hand and confirmed that the injury was minor. All the small pieces of glass had been successfully removed.

After applying a new bandage, the doctor prescribed some medication for Hadley and then discharged them.
