Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can’t Afford Me Now

Chapter 216 She Didn’t Need His Love

The obstetrician spoke gently but gravely, her tone heavy with sympathy. “Mrs. Flynn… I’m so sorry…”

The words echoed painfully, shattering Hadley from within. A chill raced through her veins, freezing every nerve. The world blurred, and her breath caught sharply.

Beyond the curtain, Eric felt the same icy dread seize his heart.

“Ugh…”

Just then, another sharp wave of pain seized her, wrenching a cry from her lips.

Eric snapped again, desperation bleeding into his anger, “Are you deaf? Do something, damn it! Don’t just stand
