NovelApexChapter 1338:
“Sorry means nothing!” Hadley seized his collar, her bloodshot eyes wild with anguish. “Giveback my Joy!
Bring her back!”
Her voice broke into a wail as her strength faltered, her vision blurring. She swayed, her body giving way.
“Hadley!” Eric caught her as she slumped, his arms steady around her.
“Calm down. You need to rest...”
He eased her onto the sofa, guiding her to lie down.
Her head spun, the world tilting, and she squeezed her eyes shut, refusing to meet his gaze.
Eric watched her, his heart aching at her pallor. His fists clenched tightly, nails biting into his palms.

Eric rose, intending to fetch a blanket to ward off the chill that might settle over Hadley as she lay there,

Eric's brow creased, a helpless shake of his head. “I was just getting a blanket for you.”
Hadley stared, uncomprehending, her gaze locked on him. “Why are you still here?”

“Don’t stay here! Go find Joy! Now!”
“Hadley...”
Eric's heart twisted, Hadley’s fragile state unraveling before him. In mere hours, her spirit teetered on the edge
of collapse.
He couldn't let her spiral further.

In a swift, decisive motion, he raised his hand and delivered a precise strike to the back of her neck.
Hadley’s eyes rolled to the back of her head before her lids fluttered shut, her body going limp.
Eric caught her gently, cradling her as he carried her to the bedroom. He laid her on the bed, drawing the
blanket over her with care, tucking it around her still form.
He lingered, holding her hand, his gaze tracing her pale, tear-stained face. Then, with a heavy heart, he stepped
out of the room.
