Chapter 1130: Could Hadley make it through that? Could Joy? Even if she got out on bail, a legal battle was still coming.
Outside the station, Eric couldn't shake the weight in his chest. Thoughts of Hadley and Joy crowded his mind. He drove back to Millland Road but stayed in the car, not going upstairs to Hadley's apartment.
The window was cracked open. A cigarette burned between his fingers, one after another. His thoughts spun endlessly. Sometpast midnight, his phone buzzed. It was Cristian.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Eric," his voice was urgent. "Hadley's been rushed to the hospital." Eric jolted upright, rage flashing across his face as veins rose in his forehead. "Got it. I'll meet you there." He tossed the phone aside and sped toward the hospital.
Cristian had arrived first. As Hadley's lawyer, the police had informed him immediately.
"Eric!" Cristian called when he saw Eric arrive.
Eric strode over. "Where is she?" "In observation. She's getting fluids." "What happened? She was fine earlier!" Cristian kept pace beside him. "It's a stress-induced fever. Fear, mostly." Eric froze mid-step.
In other words, she was so terrified, it had made her physically ill. Because she was basically still in custody, Hadley had been placed in a private room under police watch.
Cristian spoke briefly with the officers and then gestured toward the door. Eric nodded and entered quietly. She lay on the bed, eyes closed, an IV taped to her hand. Her face was flushed with fever, hair damp at the temples. Eric approached the bed and sat down beside her.
After a moment, he reached out and gently took her hand.

"Didn't I tell you not to be scared? Everything will be fine. If Cristian can't fix this, he should turn in his license." Hadley stirred, her brow furrowing. Then her eyes snapped wide open.
Startled, Eric sat up straight, unsure if he'd woken her.
But then her hand clutched his arm, fever-hot and trembling.
"I didn't push her," she whispered. "I didn't!" His heart seized. He leaned down and wrapped his arms around her, holding her close, gently patting her back.
"I know," he said softly. "I know you didn't push her."
Her eyes opened wide, tears spilling down her cheeks. "You believe me?" "Yes," he said without pause. "I believe you."
Suddenly, she shoved him away with surprising force. “You're lying she shouted, her eyes wild. You never believed me! You're just like the rest.
A liar!" "Hadley?"
