Chapter 121 Hadley, I Am Quite Joyful Right Now

Eric observed Hadley’s demeanor and tentatively reached to grasp her hand.

Yet again, Hadley pulled away from his touch.

“Really, Hadley?” Eric’s frustration was evident. “Do you believe I came here to harm you?”

“No, not at all…”

Gently shaking her head, Hadley raised her bandaged hand to reassure Eric of her condition.

At the moment Eric looked away, Hadley had swiftly wrapped her wounded hand in a handkerchief and regained her composure.

She then faced Eric, whose expression was tinged with concern. “It looks worse than it really is. Thanks for helping me tonight.”

Her voice retained a composed yet distant quality.

Eric, faced with her continual avoidance, didn’t react with increased anger this time.

A sense of helplessness washed over him, yet he stood his ground, determined not to leave.

“Don’t talk like that. I’m involved now, and I can’t just leave you here by yourself…”

He broke off, his gaze shifting to her.

“Where’s Denver? Shouldn’t your boyfriend be here at a time like this?”

Hadley stayed quiet.

Calling Denver wasn’t an option since he wasn’t really her boyfriend.

Eric demanded action, tilting his head. “Call Denver now. Get him over here.”

Yet…

A sense of unease washed over Hadley.

She was reluctant to disturb Denver, yet Eric insisted. “Make it quick!”

He then laid out her options sharply. “You can either leave with me right now, or call Denver to come pick you up.”

Faced with those choices, Hadley obviously leaned towards contacting Denver.

“Fine.”
