NovelXXXChapter 855: "Nyla?" Hadley tilted her head, puzzled.
"I've heard it all." Nyla's gaze settled on Hadley's flat stomach. "It's Eric's fault-he didn't look after you properly, and the baby's gone." "What?" Hadley reeled, caught off guard.
On her way over, she'd braced for Nyla knowing about the baby's loss... But how had Eric framed it? Did he tell Nyla it was his negligence that cost them the child? Why would he? Outside the hospital room, Eric gripped his phone, talking to Ernest. "It's not a big deal—just a spike of emotion... I'll fill you in later. Yeah, okay..." He hung up, turning to step inside.
As he pushed the door, Hadley emerged, and they collided.

"Thanks," Hadley murmured, withdrawing her arm and tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "She's okay, so I'll head out." "Alright." Eric nodded, silent.

He pondered, as it had been a while since he last saw Joy. He missed her terribly. How was the little one holding up? Was her treatment progressing well? Hold on...
Eric stopped, his hand paused on the door handle. Images from the past vey flickered in his mind... Aside from the hospital, where else had he seen Joy? Ah, that was right, at the park near Millland Road...
No, he had actually seen her even before that.
That time, following an argument with Hadley, she stormed out ofm Silver Villas, got into a random taxi, and nearly got assaulted by the driver.
