?Chapter 1441:
Hadley offered him a ss of green juice. “Who are you going to call?” she asked casually.
“Ernest,” Eric replied, taking a sip of the juice, his gaze open and honest.
“Is everything alright?” Hadley inquired.
“Yeah.” Eric nodded, a slight frown creasing his brow. “It’s about Linda.”
“Oh,” Hadley responded, her enthusiasm visibly dimming.
“Don’t misunderstand,” Eric said, noticing her shift in mood. “Ernest and I are making arrangements for Linda to see a doctor.”
“A doctor?” Hadley looked up, a thought forming in her mind. “Is it about her leg injury?”
“Yeah,” Eric confirmed. “We’ve been exploring potential solutions.”
Linda was still young, after all. As long as even a glimmer of hope existed, they couldn’t simply ept her being confined to a wheelchair for life.
“So…” Hadley gestured toward his phone. “Did that call bring positive news?”
“Kind of,” Eric replied. “We’ve found a reputable doctor, but the sess of the treatment is never certain.”
Especially now, as a patient himself, he understood more acutely that life and death were beyond anyone’s control. No matter how skilled, no doctor could guarantee a positive oue.
He continued, “This doctor practices in Aradimen.”
Surprise flickered across Hadley’s face. “Are you nning to send Linda to Aradimen for treatment?” she asked tentatively.
“Yeah,” Eric confirmed, finishing his green juice as he spoke.
Hadley offered him a napkin, a slight frown creasing her brow. “Do you think Linda will agree to go to Aradimen?”

“What?” Eric looked surprised. “It’s for treatment—why would she object?”
“That’s not a certainty,” Hadley snapped, her brow lifting in defiance. “What if she suspects you’re using the treatment as an excuse just to get rid of her?”
“What?” Eric looked surprised and a little uncertain. “She wouldn’t think that, would she?”
Hadley shrugged, dropping the topic and encouraging him to eat. “Come on, eat. You shouldn’t take your medication on an empty stomach.”
“Alright,” Eric replied.
Turning his attention to his breakfast, Eric ate in silence. As he was halfway through his meal, his phone rang again—Ernest was calling.
Eric answered the phone immediately. “Hello, Ernest…”
Over the phone, Eric recounted his earlier conversation with the doctor and exined the situation to Ernest. “Alright… I’ll leave it to you, Ernest.”
Now that Linda had moved back into Flynn Mansion, it was something only Ernest could handle.<fnb927> Original content can be found at find~novel</fnb927>
After the call ended, the servant brought in Eric’s herbal remedy. Hadley watched him drink it—this time, she came prepared. As soon as he swallowed, she slipped a piece of dried fruit into his mouth.
Then, she stood. She’d finished eating and was ready to head out.
