Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You can’t afford me now

Chapter 708:

“Hadley had a rough night. She’s fast asleep now, so let her be. Home is more comfortable than here. She needs her sleep.”

Reluctantly, Phillips agreed.

“Understood.”

Hadley continued sleeping well into the next day, skipping meals to catch up on her rest.

Waking up feeling rejuvenated, she headed downstairs where the housekeeper had already prepared breakfast.

Enjoying her meal at a leisurely pace, Hadley noted the time. It was time to make her way to the hospital.

Choosing not to call Sebastian, she left the villa, opting for a bus followed by the subway, in no particular hurry.

Upon her arrival at the hospital, she discovered that Ernest and Linda had visited Eric early that morning, coinciding with the doctor’s rounds.

“Mr. Flynn, I’m pleased to report that your brother is responding well to treatment. With continued care over the next few days, he should recover nicely.”

“Appreciate it.”

“You’re welcome.”

Once the doctor had exited, Linda surveyed the room, noted Hadley’s absence, and her expression turned to one of frustration.

“Where could Hadley have gone this early? She missed the doctor’s rounds? How can she look after you if she’s not even here to listen to what the doctor says?”

Eric’s expression softened slightly.

“She was quite tired from the day before last. I suggested she go home to get some rest last night.”

“Really?” Linda’s voice was filled with disbelief.

“You actually sent her home? And she just left?”

“Yes,” Eric responded, his tone even.

Linda scoffed,

“Quite the scene, isn’t it? Her boyfriend’s laid up in the hospital, and she doesn’t seem to mind at all!”

“Linda,” Ernest interjected with a frown, coming to Hadley’s defense.

“She was genuinely worn out.”

“Why do you feel the need to defend her?” Linda asked, turning her gaze to Ernest.

“Are you confused too? Eric’s not himself right now, and neither are you, it seems! I can’t believe you’re blind to the truth. Hadley doesn’t truly care for Eric! You’re his brother; you should be telling him to guard his heart, not encouraging this fantasy…”noveldrama

At that moment, the door clicked open. Hadley walked in without knocking, causing a sudden hush to fall over the room.

Linda stopped mid-sentence, and all eyes shifted to Hadley.

With a gentle smile, Hadley said, “Good morning… Ernest, good morning.”

“Good morning,” Ernest replied quietly, his voice soft. He shot a glance at Linda and then rose, using his cane for support.
