Chapter 174 Jealousy

Hadley regained consciousness quickly, stirring before they could even get to the hospital.

Rubbing her forehead and squinting, she murmured, “Uh… What…”

“Hadley?” Denver’s voice trembled, laden with worry.

“Huh?” Confusion clouded Hadley’s expression. “Denver?”

She pieced together that she had slipped and hit her head, but confusion lingered–why was she in Denver’s vehicle? Had his been the car that nearly hit her?

“Is that really you?”

“Yes, it’s me.”

“What are the odds?”

“Indeed, what are the odds!” A wry smile crossed Denver’s face.

It seemed fate was always concocting ways to draw people close, only to tear them away again.

“Um…”

Hadley shifted awkwardly in his embrace, uncomfortable with the closeness.

Snapped out of his daze, Denver’s face turned a shade of red. “I apologize. You collapsed suddenly, and I just wanted to make sure you were okay.”

While explaining, he gently helped her adjust to a more comfortable position in the seat.

“I understand.” Hadley reassured him with a smile. “No need for explanations.”

She gestured towards a nearby intersection. “You can drop me off over there.”

“How could I possibly do that?”

Immediately, Denver shook his head, firmly rejecting her suggestion. “You’ve just been in an accident and lost consciousness briefly. It’s essential you get checked out by a medical professional.”

“Really, it’s unnecessary…”

“We’re nearly at the hospital.”

Determined not to yield, and with the hospital in view, Denver continued, “I couldn’t just leave anyone in this condition, much less…”

Particularly when it came to Hadley, whom he cherished deeply.

Their gazes locked momentarily, prompting Hadley to quietly agree with a nod.
