Chapter 854: Eric climbed out. “Grandma? What brings you here?" "Humph," Nyla huffed, smirking. "If I hadn't shown up, I'd have missed the big at home!" Eric's eyebrow twitched, a guess forming. “Grandma, you went inside?" "You bet!" Nyla narrowed her eyes, studying him. "Spill it—what's happening between you and Hadley?" Eric's face tightened, lips sealed.
Nyla pressed, growing restless. "Out with it! Did you two argue? Did you do something to upset her? She's pregnant-can't you just tiptoe around her feelings a bit more?" Eric's mouth quirked wryly. He'd have loved to pamper her-if only she'd let him.

"Clamming up? Fine, I'll track down Hadley myself!" "Grandma!" Eric caught her arm. "Please, don't!" "Then tellwhat happened!" "Grandma..." Eric floundered. He knew the truth couldn't stay buried forever, but he hadn't banked on Nyla sniffing it out this fast. With her standing there, evasion was off the table.
He shut his eyes for a beat, and then admitted, "Hadley and I... we broke up." "What?" Nyla froze, but then let out a disbelieving laugh. "What kind of nonsense is that?

What are you saying?" Eric couldn't voice it-how could he tell his grandmother that Hadley had rejected him so thoroughly she'd ended the pregnancy? "Speak up!" Nyla's voice trembled with urgency. "Make it clear!” The fate of the Flynn lineage was no small thing! "It just... we lost it." Pinned by her insistence, Eric steadied himself. "Early pregnancies can be fragile-things happen..." Nyla, wise to the ways of womanhood, knew it could be true. But the pain still gnawed at her.
"You lost the baby? How do you just lose it?" Her pulse spiked, vision dimming as she swayed.

"Mr. Flynn, the medicine!" Sebastian darted to the car, fetching pills and shaking out two for Nyla. Eric scooped her up. "To the hospital-now!" When word reached her, Hadley raced to the hospital.
Nyla, her eyes misty with years, clasped Hadley's hand Hadley, M you've been through so much."
