Chapter 577

Chapter 577:

“What is it that you want?”

With each word, Linda’s discomfort grew. The shock of her assistant calling the police still lingered; she hadn’t anticipated such an outcome.

“It’s straightforward,” Hadley said, her gaze firm and her thoughts sharp. “Elissa has a video on her phone that shows you tripping me… I need you to withdraw the charges. I need to ensure Elissa is safe.”

“Alright,” Linda quickly consented, aware of the stakes involved. The thought of the video leaking terrified her—no entertainer today could survive such a scandal.

Despite the protection of the Flynn family, a damaged public image would undoubtedly lead to her being ostracized. Such an incident would certainly spell disaster for her career.

“But…” Linda’s hands were tightly clenched, her palms slick with perspiration. “I must have her phone to ensure the evidence is utterly obliterated.”

“Agreed,” Hadley responded, nodding firmly. “The police currently hold Elissa’s phone. As soon as she’s released, it will be in your hands.”

“Deal.” Linda acknowledged, nodding in return.

She felt no real concern over Hadley retracting her promise. If the phone wasn’t delivered, she could simply reverse her decision. After all, they were both deeply entangled in this predicament.

At that very moment…

Ernest had arrived, though he hadn’t notified Eric beforehand. Instead of heading directly to Linda’s room, he chose first to visit the doctor’s office to check on Linda’s medical status.

“She arrived covered in blood, which looked severe, but the injuries are superficial. There’s just a minor fracture, no bones were seriously harmed, so no surgery is necessary,” the doctor explained.

Ernest exhaled in relief. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” the doctor replied.

The doctor hesitated but then continued, “However, Mr. Flynn… her fainting was due to intense pain from a weakened constitution. Apparently, her recovery from the miscarriage hasn’t been that well.”

Being aware of the Flynn family’s prominence in Srixby made the doctor especially thorough.

“Mr. Flynn, should you consider having children again, she will need extensive care.”

Miscarriage?

A flicker of surprise crossed Ernest’s face, though he maintained his composure, giving a slight nod. “I appreciate the advice.”

“You’re welcome, Mr. Flynn. Please, take care.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Ernest maneuvered his wheelchair to leave the doctor’s office, his outward calm belying his inner turmoil. The news of Linda’s miscarriage was a shock. His face grew somber as he processed the news.

“Ernest!” Eric hurried over. “Did you just get here? I was at the entrance looking for you.”

“I’ve been speaking with the doctor about Linda’s situation.”

“Good news, her injuries aren’t severe. Come on. I’ll take you to her now.”

“Okay.”

Arriving at the ward, they found Hadley had already left.
