Chapter 715:

“Eric!”

Hadley’s body broke into a cold shiver. Was he serious about continuing despite his condition? Did he really intend to disregard his own well-being? She pressed her hands against him, trying to resist without worsening his injuries. “Eric, stop—please, you’re hurting yourself!”

“I told you, I don’t care.”

One arm locked firmly around her waist, while his other hand gently brushed across her face.

“Is this what it takes to make you truly see me? To finally acknowledge that I’m right here? You don’t know how much it drives me crazy when you ignore me! Don’t you get it?”

“Hadley!” With great difficulty, he reached out and desperately gripped her hand. “It… hurts so badly—the stitches ripped…”

She didn’t even need his confirmation—Hadley could already see fresh blood staining multiple areas beneath his bandages.
