Chapter 229 Must You Be
So Unreasonable
A response arrived with the swiftness of a summer breeze.
“Mr. Flynn, we’ve been ringing your brother non–stop, but the line’s as dead as a doornail!”
How peculiar could that be?
Eric paused for a heartbeat, casting a fleeting glance at the woman beside him.
Inclining toward Hadley’s ear, he murmured softly, “Hadley, I need to slip out for a quick call.”
Hadley turned her gaze to him, her curiosity evident in the tilt of her head, though she refrained from prying. With a simple nod, she replied, “Go on, then.”
Eric rose from his seat, stepped into the cool evening air outside, and punched in a number on his phone.
The line connected almost instantly.
It was Linda’s agent, her voice crackling with urgency. “Mr. Flynn.”
Eric cut straight to the chase, his tone clipped. “What has happened?”
The agent’s words tumbled out in a rush. “Linda collapsed on set just moments ago!”
“Pardon?” Eric’s face darkened like a storm cloud rolling in, his brows knitting together in concern. “Get an ambulance then! Why waste time ringing me? Do I strike you as a physician?”
“No need to fret, Mr. Flynn, we’re already in the ambulance.” The agent hastened to assure him, her voice trembling slightly. “But given the gravity of the situation, I thought it best to notify you–and your brother, of course.”
Eric massaged his temples, tamping down his rising irritation. “How is she holding up?”
“We’re not certain yet,” the agent admitted. “The doctor with us suspects it might be sheer exhaustion…”
Linda had been burning the candle at both ends, juggling wedding preparations with her relentless work schedule, pushing herself to the brink.
“Very well, I understand;” Eric replied, his voice steady but laced with concern.
“Mr. Flynn,” the agent ventured cautiously, “will you be coming to the hospital?”
Eric didn’t commit, his response measured. “I’ll call Ernest.”
With that, he ended the call and immediately dialed Ernest’s number. True to the agent’s words, the line wouldn’t connect–Ernest was utterly unreachable.
