Chapter 1084: As she held his arm, she whispered softly, "I know you're in a lot of pain. Just remember, I'm here for you..." Without warning, Eric's grip on her hand tightened.
"Eric?" Linda gasped, a flush spreading across her cheeks. "Are you with me?" But he was not truly awake.
In his half-conscious state, he murmured, "Hadley, Hadley..." Linda recoiled, her expression turning icy as she pulled her hand back. "Hadley again... Is she all that matters to you? Can't you let her go?" The next morning, Eric stirred from his hangover, his head aching faintly. Daylight streamed in through the window, and the air carried the scent of warm food.

I whipped up something tasty for you." With a gentle smile, Linda nudged him. "You reek of booze. Go clean up and then chave something to eat." "Alright." Still feeling the aftereffects of his hangover, Eric consented and headed to freshen up.
Upon his return, he found the dining table meticulously arranged.
"Come, have a seat," Linda invited, placing a bowl of soup before him. "You've just woken up from a hangover. This soup should help kickstart your appetite." "Thanks," Eric acknowledged, settling into a chair.
Linda then said, "I stopped by last night to check on you. The housekeeper was about to leave for the day, and she letin. You were out cold from drinking, so I stayed and cooked this morning." Eric, cradling the bowl of soup, seemed to remember something.
"Oh, there's something I forgot to mention," Linda added.
"I've moved into the house next door. Looks like we're neighbors now." Fresh stories here galηovs"What?" Eric paused mid-sip, taken aback.
So, she was the new neighbor? He frowned. "Why?" "Why do you think?" Linda replied playfully, her smile widening. "To keep you company, of course." "Linda..." "Don't even try to change my mind," she said, still smiling. "You and I, we're no longer with the Flynns. I've ended things with Ernest, so it doesn't make sense forto stay at the Flynn Mansion anymore." Eric remained silent, not sure how to respond.
"Con, eat,” Linda encouraged, placing more food on his plate.
"Don't tellmy cooking has gotten worse?"
"No, not at all," Eric replied quickly, picking up his fork. It's delicious." Linda's smile brightened. "Then have smore." After they finished eating, Eric sent Linda back to her new hright next door.
Although she had moved out, her legs still required medical attention, and a doctor cby daily to check on her.
Linda had also arranged for a full-tcaregiver to assist her at home. When they arrived, the doctor was already there waiting.
