“Hadley.”

At the sound of Eric’s voice, both Hadley and Denver looked up simultaneously.

Eric was walking swiftly towards them, not in his usual suit but in a soft cashmere sweater.

Although he was smiling, his eyes betrayed a certain coldness.

Feeling a jolt in her heart, Hadley quickly stood up. “You’ve arrived.”

“Eric.” Denver greeted with a nod, cradling his injured arm.

“Indeed.”

Without hesitation, Eric drew Hadley into a close embrace, his hand gently caressing her face.

His voice was soft but filled with concern. “Were you frightened? You should’ve realized it’s just a watch, merely a thing. If it’s lost, let it be. Did you get hurt while chasing it? Let me check you over.”

His voice carried a warmth that suggested they were alone in their little world.

I’m okay, Eric. It’s Denver who needs attention,” Hadley responded, slightly turning away, her discomfort evident.

At that moment, Eric’s comforting touch halted, and his expression grew intense.

Was her discomfort because of Denver’s presence?

Without any show of emotion, Eric retracted his hand and faced Denver. “I’m grateful you were there tonight. Thanks for protecting Hadley. I can’t imagine what I would do if something had happened to her.”

Denver managed a weak smile. “It’s nothing, Eric. Hadley and I go way back. It was just coincidence that I was there…

Right then, Phillips showed up.

Eric gestured for him to come closer. “Phillips, this way.”

“Mr. Flynn.”

“Good, you’re here.”

Eric then directed Phillips‘ attention to Denver. “Mr. Moran is a hero to Hadley. Ensure his surgery is scheduled promptly and that he receives top–notch care.”

“Understood, Mr. Flynn.”
