Chapter 211 Do You Grow Genuine Feelings For…

Suddenly, a flood of emotions washed over Eric, leaving him frozen in place.

Although he often appeared to lead in his relationship with Hadley, in truth, she held the reins.

He wanted no one else but her.

Still, she remained distant, as if she could walk away at any moment.

Yet now, she sought comfort in his embrace like he was her anchor.

Compelled by his feelings, Eric leaned in to hold her close, her fragrance enveloping him, utterly captivating.

Her scent was mesmerizing, completely intoxicating.

“Eric,” she whispered faintly.

“Yes?”

“I’m not feeling well. Would you mind helping me down the hill?”

“Of course.”

Casting a worried glance at her, Eric caressed her cold cheek, noting the chill of her hands as well.

With no time to hesitate, he lifted her in his arms and hastened down the hill.

“Okay.” Hadley sipped a little, and then gestured no more..

Eric wanted to ask about what had happened on the hill, but her pale face held him back. He gently stroked her hair. “Just relax and get some rest.”

“Alright.” With a weak nod, Hadley closed her eyes and reclined, letting exhaustion take over.

As they drove off, Eric, concerned for her comfort, adjusted the heater higher. He navigated the car gently, wary of causing her any additional unease.

Hadley’s head was slightly tilted, her eyes shut.

It seemed like she had drifted into a dream.

“Mmm… mmm…”

From his position, Eric could only catch her faint sobs, his worry deepening. He decided to null
