Chapter 667

Chapter 667:

“That’s absurd!” Eric replied gruffly. “She’s going back to her ex and I should be okay with it? We’ll see if I’m as forgiving!”

Following the call, Eric felt too unsettled to eat.

He stood up and left Silver Villas, making his way to the hospital.

Silence filled the hospital room.

Hadley had arrived early for a visit, sneaking in before Eric awoke and before her workday began, taking advantage of the absence of Denver’s parents.

“Denver,” Hadley greeted as she set a fruit basket beside his hospital bed. “How was the surgery?”

“Everything went well.” Denver lifted his arm, reassuring her, “There’s no nerve damage.” He demonstrated by moving his fingers.

“That’s relieving to hear.”

Hadley let out a relieved sigh.

She then expressed her regrets, saying, “I’m really sorry for leaving abruptly last night. It was inconsiderate.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Denver replied, smiling as he shook his head. “I get it. Eric clearly cares a lot about you.”

He then expressed a lingering concern, asking, “Did things get difficult with Eric afterward? Did you guys end up fighting?”

“No,” Hadley reassured him with a gentle shake of her head. “Really, don’t worry. I’m doing okay.”

Denver paused for a moment before responding with a relieved smile, his gaze dropping. “That’s good to hear. Really good.”

“Denver.” Hadley got to her feet. “You should rest. I’ll leave now.”

“Alright, take care.”

“Goodbye.”

“Goodbye…”

As Hadley turned to leave, she inhaled deeply and reached for the door of the hospital room.

There, in the hallway, stood Eric, his tall frame against the railing, silently observing her.

Her heart raced as she saw him, her expression turning into a frown.

She approached him, her bag over her shoulder.

He had followed her here.

In the end, he managed to catch up with her.

She paused right in front of him, drew in a shaky breath, and lifted her gaze to meet his eyes. “We’re in a hospital. Can we step outside to talk?”

“Fine by me.” With an arched brow, Eric turned on his heel and walked ahead without another word.

Seeing his retreating figure made Hadley’s stomach twist nervously. He was clearly unhappy, and the quiet calm radiating from him only deepened her worry.

She wondered what he might be thinking.

Could this be the end of their relationship?

The thought made her brow crease in anxious helplessness.

Downstairs, his car sat waiting silently. Once they settled inside, neither uttered a single word. The hospital staff had yet to begin their day, leaving the whole area bathed in silence.

Hadley took a moment before finally breaking the silence. “Denver ended up hurt because of me. If his hand doesn’t recover fully, I don’t think I could ever forgive myself.”
