?Chapter 1133:


    “Yes,” Cristian said with a reassuring smile. “We owe a lot to that witness.”


    “That’s good to hear,” Hadley responded, her interest piqued. “Is it possible for me to meet this person? I’d like to express my gratitude personally.”


    “Well,” Cristian faltered slightly as he spoke. “Meeting the witness isn’t possible at the moment. They’re under protection, and it’s best to respect their privacy and leave them undisturbed now that they don’t have toe forward to testify.”


    “I understand,” Hadley responded with a nod and a gentle smile. “That’s fine then.”


    “Look after yourself,” Cristian said as he stood. “I’ll make sure to pass on your gratitude.”


    Shortly after Cristian’s departure, Brady and Denver entered the room in quick session.


    Hadley, already gathered her belongings and ready to leave the hospital, greeted them cheerfully. “You’ve bothe. I’m doing much better now.”


    “That’s fantastic news!” Brady let out a sigh of relief. “You’ve really dodged a bullet!”


    “I guess I gave you a bit of a scare,” Hadley replied with a timid smile. Reflecting on a simr past incident when she felt entirely isted, she now realized how different her current situation was—with a witness in her corner, a brother, and loyal friends supporting her.


    Eventually, she managed to change her circumstances.


    This time, the difficulties of the past did not repeat themselves!


    “Hadley,” Denver said, his expression concerned yet cautious. “You’ve just gotten over a fever and still need to rest. Joy is waiting for us back home. Let’s head there.”


    As they prepared to leave, Brady leaned in close to Hadley, a grin spreading across his face, and whispered, “You know, Denver has been really stepping up. I think he’s a better fit for you than Eric ever was.” He gestured toward Denver. “Mr. Moran, would you mind driving my sister home? Hadley, please drop me a message once you’re safely back.”


    “Understood.”


    As Denver’s Pagani pulled away from the hospital, Eric sat in his car, fists tightly clenched in silence.


    Cristian nced at him. “You should’ve gone inside, but you chose to stay here. Now she’s left with Denver, and you missed your chance yet again.”


    ???é?? ???t?€я? ?n Ga?n?νεl?.???


    Eric shook his head. “The important thing is her well-being.”


    It was better they didn’t meet, to avoid upsetting her with his presence. Cristian let out a heavy sigh. “If you anticipated this oue, why did you go through with the divorce?”


    Regret tinged Eric’s thoughts; if only he had foreseen the implications. However, who could truly predict what the future held?


    Denver escorted Hadley back to her home.


    “Mommy is back!” Joy came running with excitement and flung herself into Hadley’s arms. She held her tightly, then nced behind her with eager eyes. Eric had told her Mommy woulde home today—and she truly did.


    “Hi, Denver.” Joy blinked in surprise when she noticed it was Denver standing there instead of Eric, whom she had expected.


    “Hello, Joy.” Denver greeted her with a warm smile and gently patted her head. Then he turned to Hadley. “Have a nice time with Joy and get some rest. I’ll head out now.”


    “Alright, thank you.” Hadley walked him to the door, smiling warmly. “Really, thank you for everything. When you’re free, let me know. I’ll invite Brady over, and we can all have dinner together.”


    They’d worked through the entire night for her sake, and she wanted to show how much that meant to her.
