Chapter 215 Please Save My Wife And Our Child

“Hang tight!” Eric’s voice cracked with urgency, sweat streaming down his temples. “We're heading to the

hospital immediately! You'll be okay-I swear I'll protect you. Nothing bad will happen on my watch!”

He barely waited for the car door to close before his subordinate took the driver's seat, swiftly starting the

engine.

Eric's fingers trembled slightly as he dialed Phillips’ number.

“Phillips! Alert the medical team-we need surgeons, specialists in orthopedics-"

“And obstetrics!” Hadley’s voice sliced through his instructions sharply.

Eric froze, phone nearly slipping from his gra

“Hadley, wait-what did you just say?”

Tseemed to stretch unbearably as she met his gaze,

4 yes glistening with urgency and fear. She hadn't

planned to reveal this, especially not now-but silence was no longer an option.

If she stayed quiet, she risked losing the fragile life growing inside her.

She knew the risk, knew Eric likely hadn’t planned for this child-but desperation overshadowed her.

Grasping his sleeve tighter, her voice shook, raw with pleading.

“Eric, please... You have to save my baby! | understand if you don’t want this child-I'll take full responsibility and

raise the child alone. | won't ask anything from you, | promise. But please, help us!”

Her voice dissolved into a sob, her free hand gently cradling her abdomen.

As she met his gaze, her face pale, eyes wide with fear for her unborn child.

Child? Hadley was pregnant?

Eric finally snapped back to reality, his voice suddenly sharp as he screamed into the phone, “Did you catch

that? Obstetricians! Get the obstetricians ready now!”

“Understood, Mr. Flynn.”

He ended the call abruptly, hesitating only briefly before gently placing his shaking hands onto Hadley’s

stomach.

Hadley leaned into him instinctively, and he wrapped her protectively in his embrace.

Beneath his palms, within Hadley’s womb, rested their child.

Here, in his embrace, he held both his beloved and their flesh and blood-an unexpected miracle.

Eric’s heart thundered wildly, a trembling sensation spreading through his chest.

Of all the countless experiences life had thrown at him, nothing had ever struck him with such overwhelming

intensity, such raw, unfiltered emotion.

He lowered his head, pressing a tender, trembling kiss to her forehead. “Is this really true?”

Hadley couldn't glimpse Eric's expression clearly, but something in his voice felt utterly unfamiliar.

Was he... actually pleased?

She remained silent, too overwhelmed to reply, yet Eric was oblivious, caught entirely within his own whirlwind

of emotions.

He pressed another urgent kiss to her forehead, questions tumbling out in rapid succession. “How long have you

known? Why didn’t you tell me?”

His voice softened into a nervous rush. “I've read about it-the first trimester is critical. You should've been extra

cautious-"

He stopped abruptly, remembering she'd just endured a kidnapping. His jaw tightened with anger.

“Damn it.” Eric's eyes turned cold, darkening dangerously. “Those two-I want them found immediately. Whatever

it takes, they will regret laying a finger on you.” *

Hadley stared up at him in confusion, heart racing. Did Eric truly care this much about their child?

“Wait a second!” Eric abruptly recalled, his tone sharpening. “What did you mean when you said | don’t want this

child?”

His face grew colder, confusion creasing his brows deeply. “Why would you asssomething like that? Did you

ever askhow | felt? Did those words ever cfrom my lips?”

Hadley opened her mouth, but the words wouldn't form-there was simply no explanation that made sense

now.

“Ugh-"

An agonizing pain sliced through her abdomen, forcing her eyes shut as she avoided explaining.

“Hadley...”

Eric exhaled sharply, torn between frustration and deep concern. With a sigh, he drew her closer, gently pressing

his lips to her sweat-slicked forehead.

“You always jump to conclusions without ever talking tofirst. We're nearly at the hospital-just hold on a bit

longer.

Hadley remained quiet, sinking further into his embrace. Right now, nothing about Eric made sense.

If he never truly cared for her, why wasn’t he bothered that she-someone he supposedly didn’t love-was

carrying his child?

As the hospital loomed into view, the pain intensified, twisting relentlessly.

Her eyes suddenly snapped open, her hand desperately clutching his.

“Eric!”

His response was immediate, fierce, and reassuring. “I'm right here-I'm not going anywhere!” Eric’s pulse spiked

with panic. “Hadley, what's happening?”

1-...” Tears surged uncontrollably into her eyes, her voice fragile and terrified. “I'm bleeding.”

Bleeding?

The word echoed chillingly in Eric's mind.

He knew exactly what this meant for a pregnant woman. Instantly, memories of Linda's miscarriage four years

ago surged vividly.

His grip tightened fiercely around Hadley’s trembling hand, pressing it urgently to his lips.

“You'll be alright,” he whispered desperately, voice shaking despite his attempts to sound reassuring. “You have

to be alright.”

But dread clung heavily to each word.

Eric knew far too well what might lie ahead.

Pulling Hadley even closer, he shouted frantically at the driver, “Drive faster! Damn it, push the accelerator!”

“Mr. Flynn,” the driver replied tensely, desperation evident in his voice. “We're already going as fast as we

possibly can!”

Eric fell silent, the crushing helplessness hitting him harder than he'd ever known. For the first tin his life,

Eric faced a crisis without answers.

Hadley gripped his hand desperately, tears slipping silently down her pale cheeks. Eric gently lowered his head,

brushing his lips tenderly over her tear-soaked eyes.

“Don’t cry,” he murmured softly. “It’s too early to lose hope.”

He hesitated, throat tightening painfully. “Even if-"

The words caught, strangling his voice before he could finish. He couldn’t bring himself to voice such a

devastating thought, offering instead a shaky, fragile comfort. “We're still young. We'll have another chance...”

“No! No, Eric!” Hadley shook her head fiercely, eyes red and flooded with tears. “I don’t want another-I only

want this one!”

“Alright, alright!” Eric quickly agreed, voice breaking slightly as he stroked her hair gently. “Just this one, then.

We'll keep this one safe, | promise!”

Hadley stared up at him, unable to speak.

What did Eric know about her pain?

His reassurances meant nothing-just like he understood nothing!

If she lost this child, she wouldn't merely lose her baby, but also Joy’s only hope!

The car screeched to a halt.

The subordinate quickly exited, opening Eric’s door with urgency. “Mr. Flynn, we've arrived!”

“Hold on, Hadley-you're safe now!”

Eric swiftly lifted Hadley from the car, his grip gentle yet firm. Phillips and a team of medical staff were already

rushing forward, guiding a gurney toward them.

Eric carefully placed Hadley onto the gurney, his hand lingering on hers. “Everything's going to be fine. We're

here now.”

“Eric!” Panic flared in Hadley’s eyes as he started pulling away.

She grasped at his hand desperately. “Please, save our child-you have to save our baby!”

“I will!” He promised. “Trust me!”

The gurney rolled swiftly across the hospital tiles, the chaotic noises of the hallway swirling around Hadley as

they approached the emergency room.

Through the curtains, she overheard fragments of conversation.

“Mr. Flynn, this is the head obstetrician of our hospital.’

“Doctor.” Eric's voice remained steady yet filled with a rare vulnerability. “My wife and child are counting on

you.”

Even in such a critical moment, Eric held onto his composure, addressing the medical team with utmost respect-

aware that his family’s lives depended on them.

“Please, save my wife and our child. | beg you,” he pleaded earnestly.

“Mr. Flynn, there’s no need for formality.” The obstetrician reassured him warmly. “I'll do everything in my

power.”

Hadley shut her eyes tightly, tears quietly escaping down her cheeks.

Following their brief exchange, the curtain was drawn aside, and the obstetrician approached Hadley, fully

prepared and focused.

“Mrs. Flynn, I'm going to begin your examination now,” the doctor gently said.
