?Chapter 715:


    “Eric!”


    Hadley’s body broke into a cold shiver. Was he serious about continuing despite his condition? Did he really intend to disregard his own well-being? She pressed her hands against him, trying to resist without worsening his injuries. “Eric, stop—please, you’re hurting yourself!”


    “I told you, I don’t care.”


    One arm locked firmly around her waist, while his other hand gently brushed across her face.


    “Is this what it takes to make you truly see me? To finally acknowledge that I’m right here? You don’t know how much it drives me crazy when you ignore me! Don’t you get it?”


    “I— Mmm—”


    He silenced her again, kissing her deeply once more.


    His hand left her face, sliding purposefully down to her neck, deftly undoing the buttons of her blouse.


    What was he doing?


    Hadley froze beneath him, her eyes wide with disbelief. “Mmm…”


    Unable to speak clearly, her voice became muffled against his kiss.


    She couldn’t allow this—Eric was severely hurt, and they were in a hospital room. Anyone could walk in at any second!


    What was she supposed to do?

    Despite his injuries, Eric’s physical strength overwhelmingly surpassed her own. With panic flooding through her, Hadley swiftly drew back her knee and thrust it forward with all her strength.


    “Ugh!”


    Hadley struck Eric squarely in his injured abdomen, causing him to release her instantly. He stumbled backward, copsing heavily onto the floor.


    “Oh my God, Eric!”


    Leaping up from the bed, Hadley stared in horror as Eric curled painfully on the cold floor, his face pale.


    “Eric, are you hurt?”


    Without hesitation, she dropped to his side, urgently trying to steady him.


    “Heh… Hah…” Eric grimaced, droplets of sweat rolling down his pale face, yet he forced a twisted grin.


    “Hadley!” With great difficulty, he reached out and desperately gripped her hand. “It… hurts so badly—the stitches ripped…”


    She didn’t even need his confirmation—Hadley could already see fresh blood staining multiple areas beneath his bandages.


    “Are you insane?” Hadley squeezed her eyes shut, her voice rising in panic. “Did you hurt your brain too? What’s wrong with you?”


    Eric’s gaze fell on her tear-streaked face, his grin widening uncontrobly. “Ha, maybe I did…”


    The pain worsened, and he tightened his hold on her hand. “Excellent, this is excellent… Weren’t you always indifferent? iming everything was for Linda…
