Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

Chapter 244 Don’t Waste

Your Heart On The Wron…

“What?” Sebastian reacted with surprise. “But…”

“Please, Sebastian, there’s no need to worry,” said Hadley, her smile gentle as she provided an explanation. “You should go ahead. I’ve spent the night at the hospital and left for the dance studio since leaving the hospital this morning. I need to shower and change. If Eric asks of me, just let him know I’ll arrive a little later.”

“I understand now,” Sebastian responded.

Relieved, Sebastian continued, “I’ll go deliver the items. Call me when you’re ready, and I’ll come to pick you up.”

“Thank you, Sebastian.”

“Anytime.”

Watching Sebastian depart, Hadley then made her way upstairs to the walk–in closet, selecting some clothes before proceeding to the bathroom.

She genuinely needed to freshen up, not just making up excuses.

After the shower, as she dried her hair, Hadley continuously yawned, tears rolling down her face from sheer

exhaustion.

Exiting the bathroom, she felt a heaviness in her head and staggered toward the bed, where she promptly

collapsed.

As soon as her head touched the pillow, drowsiness swept over her. She couldn’t resist the urge to sleep, her eyelids too heavy to keep open.

Drifting off, she quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Having delivered the suitcase to the hospital, Sebastian found a nurse updating Eric’s IV setup.

Sebastian stood alone, prompting a puzzled look from Eric. “Why are you by yourself? Where’s Hadley?”

“She didn’t make it here…” Sebastian said.

Conveying her plans, Sebastian added, “She mentioned she’d arrive later.”

He then proceeded to the walk–in closet with the luggage in hand. “I’m going to put this inside.”

“Okay.”

Eric acknowledged this but felt a twinge of worry.
