NovelApexChapter 1359:
Eric reached out to Cordell, rattling off a detailed list of tasks. “Empty the two rooms beside mine. One of them
needs a large walk-in closet and the other a cozy child's bedroom, complete with child-proof furniture. Oh, and
spruce up the garden while you're at it...”
His requests were so extensive that Hadley and Joy couldn't settle in right away.
“Perhaps it’s a blessing in disguise,” Eric mused, cradling Joy tenderly in his arms while casting a gentle glance
at Hadley. “This gives us tto ensure everything's just right. I'll have Dr. Nixon stop by for a visit, too.”
Thurston Nixon, Joy's devoted hematologist, was a reassuring presence they trusted.
Hadley nodded, her thoughts perfectly aligned with his.
As they spoke, a nurse glided in with a treatment cart to administer Eric's afternoon therapy. His regimen now
included morning, afternoon, and evening sessions, with doctors keeping a close eye on his injured finger.
Once the nurse departed, Hadley tucked two soft throw pillows beneath Eric’s left hand, propping it up with care.
She stole a glance at his little finger. “Can you feel anything there?” she asked softly.
“It’s sore and painful,” Eric admitted candidly, “but it’s worse at night.”

be far more troubling.”
Their conversation paused as a knock echoed at the door. Phillips had arrived.
Phillips entered, armed with a laptop and a neat stack of documents, greeting Hadley with a warm, courteous
smile. “Hadley,” he said.
“Phillips,” Hadley replied with a nod, sensing the work awaiting them. She beckoned to Joy. “Come, sweetheart,
let's play in the other room. Eric has things to do.”
“Okay, but Mommy, carry me!” Joy chirped.
“Alright.” Hadley scooped Joy up, pausing briefly to remind Eric, “Keep that hand elevated—don’t let it slip.”
Eric's face softened, a warm smile spreading. “I won't forget,” he promised.

Phillips chimed in, “Don’t worry, I'll keep an eye on him.”
“Alright, I'll let you get on with it.”
With a nod, Hadley carried Joy off to play, occasionally glancing back at the hospital bed.
In no tat all, the bed and mobile table were already piled high with documents and files. Eric was engrossed
in discussion with Phillips, his brow furrowed in concentration.
Hadley rarely saw him so absorbed, so commanding—a side of him that felt almost foreign, yet undeniably
captivating.
“Mommy, it’s your turn!” Joy's voice pulled her back.
“Alright,” Hadley smiled, diving back into their game. “Letsee...”
