?Chapter 1415:


    Hadley narrowed her eyes. He was clearly faking it.


    “Walk on your own.”


    She turned and walked ahead.


    “Hadley…” Eric let out augh and followed. “Are you mad? Don’t be mad. I was just messing around.”


    No matter what he said, she didn’t respond.


    Then—Bang!


    A heavy thud sounded behind her.


    Almost immediately—


    “Mr. Scott!”


    The bodyguards shouted in unison.


    Hadley froze. A chill shot up her spine as she spun around.


    Eric—who had just been teasing her moments ago—was now lying on the ground.


    What was happening?


    This had to be a joke.<fnbfac> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on </fnbfac>


    She stood there, stunned.


    “Mr. Scott!” The Scott family’s bodyguards rushed in from all sides, surrounding him.


    “Mr. Scott!” Phillips reached him first, bending down to help. He looked up at Hadley. “Hadley—he just copsed!”


    The words jolted her back to reality. Her breath caught as she ran forward and dropped to her knees.


    “Eric?”


    She reached for him, cupping his face in her hands.

    His eyes were shut tight. His skin was pale.


    How could this be?


    He said he was fine.


    “Hurry!” Hadley’s voice trembled as she looked at Phillips. “Why are you just standing there? Get him to the hospital!”


    “Right!”


    “And call the hospital ahead!”


    “Understood!”


    Phillips lifted Eric and carried him to the car.


    Hadley followed close behind, holding Eric in her arms once they settled into the car. Her hand pressed gently against his cheek, feeling the cold, damp sweat on his skin.


    Outside the emergency room, Hadley sat on a bench, her hands sped tightly in front of her. Her grip kept tightening.


    Eric had been injured before—she’d even seen him covered in blood.


    But this time was different.
