Chapter 508 Adam stood alone in the dimly lit hospital corridor, motionless. Instead of leaving immediately, he lingered, lost in contemplation. The overhead lights softly illuminated his broad shoulders, enveloping him in gentle shadows. At that moment, Leo approached. "Mr. Alvarez, are we heading back to the office or Jupiter Heights tonight?" Adam replied, "You may go back first." Leo nodded. "Yes, sir." With that, he departed. Adam walked to the window, gazing out into the night.

In his mind, he could hear Celine's voice from her phone conversation with Perry. Celine expressed her desire to leave Mercity, stating that Perry would take her away. She also mentioned carrying Perry's child. They envisioned a future filled with happiness. On his side, he had Carly to care for, so he planned to marry her someday. He and Celine would part ways to pursue their own paths. This was the right course of action, or so he kept telling himself.

Despite his efforts to convince himself, a dull ache settled in his chest, and a profound emptiness crept in. Something within him was slipping away, beyond his grasp. The pain of losing her became almost unbearable, yet he felt powerless to change the inevitable. After Celine fell asleep, Hailey quietly left the ward. Stepping into the corridor, she noticed Declan, still clad in black, sitting on a bench exuding an air of calm indifference.

His sharp features and cool demeanor rendered him seemingly untouchable. Hailey hurried over to him. "Declan, thank you immensely! Without you, we wouldn't have saved Celine in time." With an aloof expression, he rose and inquired coldly, "Is everything settled?" Hailey affirmed, "Yes." Declan stated, "Then I'm leaving," and departed. Hailey hastened after him, observing his hand hanging by his side. She bit her lip, then tentatively reached out and clasped his hand.

Her touch, light as a feather, enveloped his larger hand. Declan momentarily froze, turning his head. Under the dim corridor lights, Hailey looked up at him, her delicate face aglow with a warm smile. She stood there, smiling at him. Declan attempted to withdraw his hand, but Hailey had foreseen his action and held on firmly. "I'm heading home as well. Could you escort me?"

Declan was about to speak when she added, "It's late, and it's unsafe for a girl to be out alone. You wouldn't want any harm to befall me, would you?" Declan fell silent, silently assenting. A sweet warmth enveloped Hailey's heart. "Declan, has any other woman ever ridden on your motorcycle?" She sought to ascertain if she was the sole one. Declan nodded and answered, "Yes." "Yes?" Did this imply he had given another woman a ride before? Hailey felt a twinge of disappointment.

"Who was she?" she inquired. Declan glanced at her and asked, "Which one? More than one woman has ridden on my bike." "Declan!" She clenched her fist and playfully swung at him.
