?Chapter 1673:


    “No problem.” Eric left to freshen up in his own room.


    While he was shaving, his phone started to ring. Ernest’s name shed on the screen.


    Without hesitation, Eric picked up. “Ernest?”

    “Eric.” There was something unusual in Ernest’s voice. “Linda just woke up…”


    A chill ran through Eric as he listened, his grip tightening on the phone and his worry in on his face.


    “I understand. I’lle right away.”


    After ending the call, he pressed his fingertips against his forehead, but the heaviness in his thoughts refused to fade. It only grew worse.


    His fears fromst night had been right. Something serious had happened. At the hospital.


    A little past nine, Colleen stifled a yawn as she left the surgery building.


    After finishing her night shift and handing over her duties, she changed into her regr clothes before heading toward the parking lot.


    While searching for her car, she noticed Eric climbing out of his vehicle some distance away.


    Her eyes widened in surprise, and she pulled out her phone to dial Hadley.<fn5bac> Latest content published on find?novel</fn5bac>


    “Colleen,” answered Hadley right away. “Did your shift end? I was waiting for your call because I didn’t want to call first and interrupt your work.”


    Colleen’s confusion grew. Any leftover sleepiness vanished in an instant. “So we’re still meeting at the bridal shop, right?”


    “Absolutely,” said Hadley, her tone light and amused. “Dr. Hayes, you never forget a thing. It’s today.”


    This imitation can’t capture the heart of the real one at  gal n o ve l s.


    “I figured as much.” Colleen tapped her forehead, still puzzled. “The thing is… I just saw your fiancé. I assumed he was here for a check-up. It seemed odd not to see you with him.”


    “Hold on, Colleen.” The smile dropped from Hadley’s face as she gripped her phone a little tighter. “Did you just say you saw Eric?”


    “That’s right,” Colleen replied. “Your fiancé—Eric. I couldn’t mistake him for anyone else.”


    A frown appeared on Hadley’s face. Why would Eric be here at the hospital?


    “Colleen, I need to cancel our ns for the bridal shop. Something’se up. I’m really sorry.”


    Colleen sounded more curious than disappointed. “No worries. Did what I said change your ns? Shouldn’t your fiancé be at the hospital right now?”


    “I honestly don’t know,” said Hadley, lines forming on her brow. “There’s something I need to check on. You should head home and get some sleep. We’ll n for another day.”


    “Okay. That works.”


    After ending the call, Hadley said, “I need to get to the hospital.”


    Eric’s behavior had been oddtely.


    Over thest few days, she noticed that he had been behaving oddly, almost like he was keeping something from her.
