NovelApexChapter 1430:
Eric reached for the cup beside his plate, took a sip—and immediately frowned. “What is this?”
Hadley, calmly scooping her oatmeal, glanced over. “Nutritious vegetable smoothie.”
Eric grimaced. “Can | have coffee instead?”
“No.” She shook her head without hesitation. “Caffeine isn’t good for your heart. Until you recover, not a drop.”
She picked up the smoothie and brought it closer to him. “You should drink this for now, until you get better.”
He didn’t move, his reluctance obvious. Hadley noticed—and her eyes softened slightly. “I made it myself.”
“Really?” Eric raised a brow. His expression shifted, his eyes lighting up. “Really.” Hadley gave a small, solemn
nod.
“Then I'll drink it.” He smiled. “I wouldn't want to waste your effort.”

spread of breakfast laid out for Eric.
Eric hesitated, then murmured, “Okay...” He bowed his head and started eating. A moment later, he paused,
nostrils flaring. “What's that smell?”

Hadley raised an eyebrow, tilting her head toward the kitchen door that opened to the garden.
“Don’t you recognize it? It’s your herbal broth.”
“Oh, right,” Eric said, his brow creasing slightly as he nodded.
Hadley elaborated, “Your father sent a servant from the main house. She started simmering the herbs at dawn.
It's probably done by now.”
As she spoke, the servant approached, carrying a tray with a delicate ceramic bowl filled with a dark, pungent,
steaming hot concoction.
“Here's your remedy, Mr. Scott,” the servant said, setting the bowl before Eric.
