Chapter 621:

Eric carefully placed Hadley onto the gurney, his hand lingering on hers. “Everything’s going to be fine. We’re here now.”

“Eric!” Panic flared in Hadley’s eyes as he started pulling away. She grasped at his hand desperately. “Please, save our child—you have to save our baby!”

“I will!” He promised. “Trust me!”

The gurney rolled swiftly across the hospital tiles, the chaotic noises of the hallway swirling around Hadley as they approached the emergency room.

Through the curtains, she overheard fragments of conversation.

“Mr. Flynn, this is the head obstetrician of our hospital.”

“Doctor.” Eric’s voice remained steady yet filled with a rare vulnerability. “My wife and child are counting on you.”

Even in such a critical moment, Eric held onto his composure, addressing the medical team with utmost respect—aware that his family’s lives depended on them.

“Please, save my wife and our child. I beg you,” he pleaded earnestly. “Mr. Flynn, there’s no need for formality.” The obstetrician reassured him warmly. “I’ll do everything in my power.”

Hadley shut her eyes tightly, tears quietly escaping down her cheeks. Following their brief exchange, the curtain was drawn aside, and the…

The obstetrician approached Hadley, fully prepared and focused. “Mrs. Flynn, I’m going to begin your examination now,” the doctor gently said.

The obstetrician spoke gently but gravely, her tone heavy with sympathy. “Mrs. Flynn… I’m so sorry…”

The words echoed painfully, shattering Hadley from within. A chill raced through her veins, freezing every nerve. The world blurred, and her breath caught sharply.

Beyond the curtain, Eric felt the same icy dread seize his heart.

He didn’t need to hear more—he knew what had happened. Their child, the one he’d barely begun to grasp the existence of, was gone before he’d even truly known them.

He ignored hospital protocol, yanking the curtain aside and rushing desperately to Hadley’s bedside.

“Mr. Flynn, you can’t go inside!” A nurse called urgently, stepping forward to stop him.

But Eric brushed past her, desperate to reach Hadley’s side. “Move aside!”

Rules be damned—nothing would keep him away from Hadley now.

“Hadley!”

Eric rushed frantically to her bedside, pulling her into his embrace, as though sheer strength alone could shield her from the devastation. He glared furiously at the medical team, his voice a raw, anguished accusation.

“Why aren’t you doing anything? First, you let our child slip away and now you’re standing idle while my wife suffers?”

His arms tightened instinctively around Hadley’s trembling frame.

Yet just as suddenly, his anger faded, replaced by a fragile tenderness as he turned to Hadley.

“It’s alright,” he murmured softly into her hair, his voice breaking slightly. “We’re young. We’ll have another chance… I promise, we’ll try again.”

Though he attempted reassurance, Eric’s eyes betrayed his sorrow.

Reddening with tears he refused to let fall, Eric held Hadley in his arms, his emotions raw. Hadley remained quiet, dazed in his embrace.

Was he truly… grieving their child?

“Ugh.”
