StartNovelChapter 1574:
The night crept on.
Outside, under the quiet stars, Hadley finally drifted into sleep. Her head slumped to the side, her body tipping
precariously on the edge of the lounge chair.
Eric moved without thinking.
In a heartbeat, he crossed the balcony and caught her just in time, steadying her before she could fall. Carefully,
he stooped down and gathered her in his arms.
He carried her back inside and laid her down on the bed with reverence, pulling the blanket over her. Then,
slowly, he leaned forward and brushed a soft kiss between her brows.
The next morning, Eric woke to find Hadley nestled in his arms, her breathing deep and even. He lay still for a
moment, watching her sleep. Then, carefully, he shifted her to the side and slipped out of bed without waking
her.
She'd fallen asleep so late the night before, and now, with no call tdragging her to set, she could finally rest
properly.
After a quick shower, Eric stepped out of the bathroom just in tto hear a string of soft, stifled sneezes from
the bed.
His brow furrowed instantly. He crossed the room in a few strides. “Are you alright?”
He sat on the edge of the bed, his hand gently pressing against her forehead. It didn’t feel too warm—thankfully.
Still, he reached into the nightstand, pulled out a digital thermometer, and took her temperature.

The reading confirmed it—no fever.
Eric exhaled, tension loosening just a little. But her pale face and the way she sniffled with every breath told a
different story.
She must have caught a chill sitting out on the balcony last night. Even in a Srixby summer, the surrounding
gardens of Olisvale Bay held onto the night's cool air a little too well.

“Don’t move,” Eric said gently, tucking the blanket snugly around her. He grabbed a box of tissues and placed it
beside her within easy reach. “Stay in bed. I'll go get you something for the cold.”
Without waiting for a reply, he stood and headed for the medicine cabinet. Eric scanned the instructions on the
medicine box, his brow knitting deeper with each word. “This can’t be taken on an empty stomach,” he
muttered. “You need to eat something first.”
He looked up at Hadley. “What do you feel like for breakfast?”
Hadley gave him a look, clearly irked.

Eric caught her wrist before she could pop the pills. “What kind of nonsense is this?”

Her breath hitched. She hadn't meant to mention those difficult days. It had just slipped out. Now, she was
cornered by her own words.
