NovelApexChapter 1385:
“Yes.” Eric nodded.
Nyla sighed again and again. “You must take care of Hadley. She’s endured so much...”
Her voice trembled. Her eyes reddened.
“It’s not just been a week—or a few months. It's been four long years.” She paused, then suddenly gripped his
hand. “Do you remember? When Hadley first cback, | kept saying she was different?”
Eric hadn’t thought much of it at the time. But now, it was impossible to ignore.
It wasn’t just Nyla. Marshall and Barrie had said the same. Even he had felt it. Hadley had changed so much.
Quiet. Guarded.
“She hasn't changed because she realized her mistake like we thought.”
Nyla’s eyes filled with tears. “She thought we abandoned her...” She clutched Eric’s arm, her voice shaking.
“Would Hadley think it was my idea to cut off her allowance? Huh?”
“Grandma, no...” Eric shook his head, frowning deeply. “You've always loved her. She knows that.”
“Does she?” Nyla looked doubtful. “Hadley’s so stubborn. She never got a cent for years—and still said nothing?”
She buried her face in her hands and wept.

“Grandma.” Eric placed a hand on her shoulder. “You're too upset. You need to rest. Con, I'll help you to
your bed.”
“Alright.” Nyla nodded. Her body had grown too tired to resist. She let him help her lie down.
“Eric.” She held his hand. After a pause, she spoke quietly. “This is no small matter... Call Ernest. He's the head
of the family now. Let him handle them.”
“I understand. Rest well, Grandma.”
Eric turned and stepped out, gently closing the door behind him. The moment it shut, it felt like a mountain
collapsed on his back—crushing, brutal, and breathless. And underneath the weight, something sharper pressed
in. Pain. Constant. Piercing. Without end.
Eric stood by the doorway, phone in hand, swiping open the dial pad. “Ernest. It's me... I'm at Grandma's...
Listen, | need to tell you something... Alright, I'll wait.”
He ended the call and slipped the phone into his pocket.

The terrace door stood wide open when Linda wheeled herself in. She moved straight toward him. Her eyes
drifted toward the bedroom. “How's Nyla?”
Eric's expression tightened. He said nothing at first. Then he answered, “She took her medicine. She's doing
better.”
“That's good.” Linda gave a short nod and started pushing the wheelchair toward the room. “I'll check on her—"

Eric shook his head. “I never said that.”
“Ha!” Linda let out a bitter laugh, her eyes pinned on his face. “But that’s what you're thinking. Isn't it? Eric, you

“Weren't you?” His voice rose, stunned by her defiance.
