Chapter 624

Chapter 624:

Even if the pregnancy itself had turned out to be a misunderstanding, her willingness, her intention, had been real.

Turning slightly, he pressed a slow, lingering kiss to her cheek. “Hadley,” he whispered, his voice laced with quiet resolve. “Thank you. I swear to you—I’ll treat you well. I won’t let you down.”

Hadley remained in his arms, her lips parting slightly, but still no words came. She didn’t know what to say.

Compared to the shock of the false pregnancy, Eric’s words in this moment struck Hadley just as deeply—perhaps even more so.

Was he truly speaking from the heart?

She didn’t care whether he would eventually let her down; she had long since outgrown the illusion of love conquering all.

What mattered now was something far more significant—had he truly accepted the possibility of a child between them?

She didn’t need his love. She only needed him to love their child.

But could she trust him with that?

“Excuse me, Mr. Flynn? Here are the prescriptions.” Eric’s subordinate returned, carrying the prescribed medication.

Without missing a beat, Eric took the medicine and turned back to Hadley. His voice was firm yet gentle. “Please, come back to Silver Villas with me. Your shoulder needs proper care.”

Hadley hesitated, but he pressed on. “Besides, you can’t expect to get proper care in a small place with someone who has a child. What if they accidentally bump into you?”

What choice did she have?

Life had a cruel sense of humor, weaving their fates together again and again, ensuring she remained tangled with this man, no matter how much she tried to escape.

“Okay.” With a quiet sigh of resignation, Hadley gave a small nod.

That night, in a dimly lit study, Quentin stepped forward, his expression carefully composed as he delivered his report to Ernest.

“Mr. Flynn, good news.”

He paused for effect before adding, “The child has been found.”

For Ernest, this was nothing short of extraordinary news!

After a brief discussion with Quentin, he gave his instructions without hesitation. “Make arrangements for a house at Lion Bay.”

“Understood, Mr. Flynn.” Quentin responded promptly, already setting the plan in motion.

Back at Silver Villas, Eric carefully laid Hadley down on the bed, making sure she was comfortable.

“Rest for a bit,” he murmured. “I’ve already contacted the housekeeper and a nurse—they’ll be here soon.”

Hadley nodded lightly. “Okay.”

She knew he had already sacrificed half his day for her, and his work was waiting.

“You should go,” she said, not meeting his eyes.

She still wasn’t sure how to face him.

Eric didn’t argue. “I’ll leave once they arrive,” he simply said.

“Your forehead…” Hadley frowned, gesturing toward his head. “Why haven’t you taken care of that?”
