?Chapter 424:


    “We need immediate attention!”


    “Get her to the emergency room! Alert the doctor now!”


    Meanwhile, Denver sat helplessly in his car, trapped in gridlocked traffic. The police had refused to let him through, and he had been making calls, trying to pull every string he could. But nothing was working.


    With every passing second, his anxiety for Hadley worsened.


    Since she had blocked his number, he resorted to using a new one and dialed.


    The phone rang endlessly before someone finally picked up.


    “Hadley!” Denver’s voice was strained with worry. “Are you alright? Is the pain unbearable? Tell me…”


    “Um…”


    A woman’s unfamiliar voice came through the line.


    Elissa nced at the unknown number shing on the screen. She hesitated for a moment before answering. “Are you a friend of Hadley’s? She left her phone in the room.”


    “Where is she?”


    “She was rushed to the hospital.”


    Elissa thought back to what nche had mentioned earlier. “They took her to Tidebourne City Hospital.”


    “Really?”


    “Got it! Thanks!”

    Before Elissa could say anything else, the call ended abruptly.


    At that moment, the traffic police motioned for Denver to proceed. “You’re clear to go!”


    “Appreciate it!”


    Without wasting a second, he jumped back into his car and sped off toward the hospital.


    Meanwhile, Elissa lowered the phone and frowned. “Who was that?”


    Come to think of it, she had no idea who the man from the helicopter was either. But in the end, it didn’t really matter. They were all here for Hadley. As long as they cared for her, that was all that counted.


    At the hospital.


    Hadley had been transferred from the emergency room to a private observation room, where she was now receiving IV treatment.


    The nurse finished adjusting the drip and turned to Eric with a reassuring smile. “She’s stable now. Getting her here quickly was the right call. With the storm today, you’ve done everything you could.”


    “Alright.” Eric gave a small nod. “I appreciate it.”


    “No problem. Let us know if anything happens to her.”


    “Will do.”


    Standing by her bedside, Eric watched as Hadley rested. Her face looked peaceful now, a stark contrast to the anguish she had been in earlier. The tight knot in his chest slowly loosened.


    “You really had me worried…” he murmured.
