When Jacob arrived at the hospital, he saw Eva waiting for him at the door of the ward.

Seeing Eva, Jacob thought again about their accidental fingertip touch, and he couldn't help but feel shy when he looked at Eva.

So when he approached, what Eva saw was Jacob, with a red face and ears.

She didn't think much of it, assuming Jacob got reddened from the cold outside, and handed him her phone, wallet, and room card one after the other. "These belong to Mr. Blackwood."

Jacob didn't know what had happened, so he could only accept each item she handed him.

Finally, looking at Eva's empty hands, he suddenly realized something.

"Ms. Hansen, are you leaving?"

Eva nodded. "Yes, since you're here, I have to leave."

Jacob instantly regretted why he had come so quickly. If Adrian woke up and found out that Eva had left because of him, he would definitely kick Jacob out.

Thinking of this, Jacob quickly tried to persuade her, "Ms. Hansen, can't you stay a bit longer? After all, I just arrived and don't know anything about Mr. Blackwood's condition. Can you stay and give me some detailed information or wait until Mr. Blackwood wakes up?"

However, Eva was prepared for this.

"Mr. Blackwood had a gastric attack, and I have completed his hospital admission. Now all you need to do is find someone to accompany him in the ward. He's currently receiving intravenous therapy, and there are two bottles left. When it's almost finished, you can go to the nurse station in front or press the bell to call them to replace the fluids. Apart from that, there are no other issues, just staying in the hospital."

Jacob stood in place, feeling like she had just explained everything that needed to be done in one breath.

"Alright, I have to go now. Take good care of him." Eva patted his shoulder and left directly.

Jacob couldn't call her back in time, so he could only watch her fading figure.

When she was out of sight, Jacob turned and entered the ward.

Once inside, when he saw the other people in the room, Jacob couldn't help but gasp.

He didn't expect that the room Eva had arranged for him would be a shared one. How could Mr. Blackwood, a germophobe, tolerate sharing a room with others? Jacob hurriedly walked to the innermost corner.

Facing Adrian still unconscious, Jacob finally breathed a sigh of relief. It's a good thing he hasn't woken up yet.

Originally, Jacob had planned to arrange for Adrian's transfer while he was still unconscious, but when he saw the IV bag running out, he had no choice but to stay and wait.

Just as Jacob was about to leave after the bag was replaced, Adrian's eyelids flickered, and he woke up.

Upon opening his eyes, Adrian met Jacob's startled gaze.

"Mr. Blackwood, you're awake?"

Adrian had been unconscious for a long time, so his dark eyes still held confusion upon waking up.

After meeting Jacob's eyes for a moment, Adrian pressed his thin lips together and asked, "Where am I now?"

Jacob responded readily, "A hospital."

After a brief pause, Adrian seemed to remember something and fell silent for a moment before saying, "Help me sit up."

He seemed to have no strength in his body at all.

Jacob followed his request and helped him sit up.

Once settled, Adrian glanced at him and said, "Tell me what's going on."

In fact, even without Adrian's reminder, Jacob was already prepared to explain the situation after Adrian had settled down.

"To be honest, I don't know the specific details yet. All I know is that Mr. Blackwood, you had a stomach problem and were brought to the hospital. There are several more IV bags to be administered, and you'll have to stay in the hospital for a few days."

Upon hearing the mention of staying in the hospital, Adrian furrowed his brows.

"I'm not staying."

"Mr. Blackwood, please listen to me. It's better for you to stay. If you find the environment here unsatisfactory, I'll arrange for a transfer to a better ward right away."

After finishing his words, Jacob noticed Adrian looking at him coldly.

Jacob instinctively fell silent.

After a while, he whispered, "I know you probably think your illness isn't serious, but today you fainted in front of Ms. Hansen. Don't you feel embarrassed?"

Adrian, who had been cold and expressionless, changed his face after hearing Jacob's words.

"What did you say?" His eyes suddenly became sharper. "Fainted in front of who?"

Jacob was intimidated by Adrian's aura and stammered, "Ms. Hansen."

Adrian instinctively asked, "She didn't leave?"

Wasn't she told to leave? He clearly saw her leave and when did she come back?

Jacob wasn't present at the time, so he didn't understand Adrian's words.

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you bring me to the hospital?" Adrian asked directly.

"No." Jacob shook his head and explained, "It was Ms. Hansen who took your phone and called me to come."

But Adrian clearly saw her leave. Did she come back later?

Why? With a sudden realization, Adrian sat up straight. "Where is she?"

"You mean Ms. Hansen? After she saw me arrive, she left."

Originally, Jacob was supposed to continue the conversation here, but he hesitated out of confusion.

What Cob didn't want to say, but after giving it some thought, he realized that hiding it would only lead to consequences. So he decided to be straightforward and clear.

Sure enough, when Adrian heard what Cob had to say, his expression instantly turned solemn.

"She's gone without you stopping her?"

"What good would it do if I tried?" Cob pointed at himself. "I'm not familiar with Ms. Hansen, so how could I possibly stop her? Besides, she's been looking after you for quite a while now, taking care of your payments and helping with your hospitalization. She deserves to go back and rest, right?"

After Cob finished speaking, Adrian fell silent and lowered his head in deep thought.

After a while, he decided to lie down and said to Cob, "Remove the IV."

Once Cob understood what he meant, he quickly responded, "Mr. Blackwood, there are still two bottles left to finish on the drip. Ms. Hansen instructed me to make sure they are completed."

"Oh, really?" Adrian's lips curled up slightly. "You will do whatever she tells you to do? Are you her subordinate or mine?"

Cob replied, "Isn't this for your own good?"

"I don't need it. I know my own body."

After speaking, Adrian even directly said, "Go and handle the discharge procedures."

Cob remained seated, motionless.

"Do you hear me?" Adrian decided to close his eyes and pretend to be dead.

Regardless of who went, he wouldn't do it.

"Jacob, don't you want to work anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Cob opened his eyes and angrily said to Adrian, "Mr. Blackwood, when Ms. Hansen was here, why didn't you mention anything about not wanting the IV drip or wanting to be discharged? Why did you only say it to me? Only Ms. Hansen can take care of you, right?"

After speaking, a sudden thought flashed in Cob's mind, and his eyes lit up.

If only Ms. Hansen could take care of Mr. Blackwood, then why not seek Eva's help?

"Hold on, Mr. Blackwood, I'll make a call to Ms. Hansen."

Excited, Cob didn't notice the triumphant gleam in Adrian's eyes as he made the request.
