Chapter 1062: "Okay." A faint smile curved his lips.
"Careful, it's hot," Hadley warned, blowing on a spoonful before guiding it to his mouth. "Don't gulp it down. It might burn your tongue." "Okay." Eric obediently followed her instructions.
"There's also shredded chicken in it. Make sure to eat that too... Just the soup alone won't give you enough strength." "Okay," he replied softly.

"Hadley..." Eric gazed at her, his eyes a mix of hope and uncertainty.
"What's on your mind?" Hadley asked, her voice warm. She tossed the crumpled napkin into the bin. "Is something bothering you?" Her serene and kind demeanor made Eric pause.
"Did you catch what I mentioned last night?" Maybe his fevered state clouded his memory, making him think he had shared something he hadn't. Hadley gave a gentle nod. "I heard you." Her clear, steady eyes met his. "And since it wasn't entirely clear, I spoke with Ernest to make sense of it.” Eric's throat tightened as he swallowed. "So... do you get it now?" "I do," she said, her composure unwavering.
Eric held her gaze for a moment, then impulsively leaned in, wrapping her in a tight embrace.
He shut his eyes, exhaled deeply, and whispered, "Hadley, thank you. You didn't abandon me. Even after learning everything, you're still here." As Eric held Hadley close, everything else seemed insignificant.

"There's a call." Hadley glanced at her phone, using the interruption to gently extricate herself from his arms. She got up and moved toward the door, saying, "I need to take this outside." "Sure." Eric assumed it was just a call from work and nodded absently. However, his assumption was incorrect. It wasn't the film crew on the line; it was the hospital laboratory.
The results she had been waiting for were ready.
"Hello?" Hadley's voice was tense as she exited the hospital room, bem anxiety evident. This is Hadley speaking." “We have your test results. They confirm the match is successful.”
At those words, Hadley stood still, shock coursing through her as tears quickly filled her eyes. "This is... um..." Her excitement was so overwhelming that forming words beca struggle.
With a gentle understanding in his tone, the doctor on the other end reassured her with a slight smile. "Yes, it's fantastic news. There's now hope for your child." "Mm..." Hadley brought her hand to her mouth, stifling the urge to sob aloud.
