Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 250 The Potential of Love Brain
"I'm sorry, Mr. Blackwood. I really didn't think it through, because when Ms. Hansen suddenly asked me about your condition, I thought she was concerned about you, so I told her about it. I didn't mean anything else," Jacob explained earnestly.
Adrian's breath became uneven, his eyes filled with an anger that almost knocked Jacob to the ground. But in the end, he suppressed it.
Perhaps he was afraid that making a big fuss would disturb Eva, who was still in a coma.
Adrian let go of Jacob and restrained his anger, saying, "Get out."
Jacob wanted to leave, but he couldn't. He could only reluctantly say, "This IV..."
As soon as the words were uttered, Adrian reached out to remove the needle.
Seeing this, Jacob hurriedly blocked his hand and said, "Mr. Blackwood, do you still want Ms. Hansen to worry about you when she wakes up from being overly scared?"
Adrian's hand paused at Jacob's intervention.
"Initially, Ms. Hansen didn't want to bother with you, but when she heard that you vomited blood, why did she come? Don't you think you should take care of yourself?" Jacob's courage grew as he spoke. "Let's not even talk about whether Ms. Hansen cares or not. If your health is really compromised, how will you be able to win Ms. Hansen back in the future?"
Hearing this, Adrian's gaze became dangerous and profound.
"Jacob, are you lecturing me?" he asked.
"I wouldn't dare. I'm just stating the facts," Jacob replied.
Despite his anger, Adrian couldn't deny that Jacob's words struck a chord within him...
In the end, Adrian, though still displeased, refrained from taking any action and reluctantly allowed Jacob to stay and hold the IV bag for him.
At first, Jacob was able to hold it, but later, because Adrian's IV bag needed frequent adjustment, Jacob had to stay by his side.
an always stayed by Eva's side, waiting for her to wake up. He had tried to persuade her to go back to her own hospital bed, but she didn't listen. So Jacob had to hang the IV drip on Eva's side of the bed instead. Then he found a chair that Adrian could lie down on.
"Mr. Blackwood, since you won't go back to your own hospital bed, it's fine if you lie down here, right?"
After all, he had brought the reclining chair to Eva's bedside. He couldn't possibly refuse, right?
Sure enough, this time Adrian didn't refuse. He followed his words and sat down. Although he didn't lie down, Jacob finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Adrian sit down.
After that, Adrian stayed by Eva's side. Jacob stayed by Adrian's side and noticed that Adrian's gaze was almost glued to Eva, never leaving for a moment.
While observing, Jacob couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Suddenly, he felt that Mr. Blackwood had a hidden potential for love. Before, Jacob had thought that he wouldn't spare a glance for any woman, not even someone as beautiful as Vivian. But now, he was staring at a woman and couldn't bear to look away for a second.
Although, in Jacob's eyes, Eva was indeed more beautiful. Vivian appeared delicate and beautiful, the kind of woman that would easily evoke a man's protective instincts.
Eva, on the other hand, was different. She had a slender figure and appeared fragile, yet there was a sense of resilience in her, as if she wouldn't easily be defeated and didn't need to rely on a man.
Jacob didn't know what Adrian was thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't have the time to care. Because at this moment, Adrian's heart was all with Eva. He knew too well what his grandmother's death meant to her.
At first, he had tested her and heard those harsh words. He was disappointed but also relieved. She divorced him, so she didn't consider his grandmother as her family anymore?
If that was really the case, then it would be even better. Not caring would mean not getting hurt.
But later, she went to the hotel and asked about his grandmother. From that moment, Adrian knew that she had a tough exterior but a soft heart for his grandmother. And now, hearing the news about her, she fainted directly.
Adrian couldn't imagine what would happen after she woke up. It was good that she was still unconscious and didn't know anything, but what about afterwards? Thinking about this, Adrian involuntarily reached out and gently held her wrist.
Time passed minute by minute.
Adrian and Jacob stayed in the hospital room like this.
After an unknown amount of time, Eva's phone, which was placed in her bag, started ringing.
Jacob immediately got up and brought Eva's bag over to Adrian. Seeing that his hands were not convenient, he carefully unzipped it and took out the phone.
Adrian only glanced at the caller ID and his face darkened.
Michael.
"If Ms. Hansen hasn't..."
"If she fainted and is lying in the hospital, it's already after work hours, so I guess her family might be looking for her. Mr. Blackwood, should I answer the phone and let them know she is safe?" "No need."
What relation is Michael to her family?
"Huh? No need?"
Adrian looked at his phone with cold expression for a few seconds, then said to Jacob, "Turn it off."
"But..."
Seeing Adrian's unpleasant face and the name displayed on the incoming call, Jacob felt like he had guessed something.
Could this person named Michael be their Mr. Blackwood's rival in love?
Finally, Jacob hesitatingly turned off the phone.
Michael had called Eva for a long time, but she didn't answer. After the call ended automatically, he dialed again, but the other side was now unreachable.
A dark shade passed over Michael's eyes, and after a moment, he parked the car by the roadside.
After pondering for a few seconds, he made a call.
"I need to pick up two kids from school. Can you find out where she went? I hope you'll have the location for me when I pick up the kids."
After saying that, Michael hung up the phone, turned the car around, and headed towards the school.
Just as her consciousness started to return, a wave of pain surged through Eva's body, causing her to instinctively curl up, but her eyes remained closed. She lay there, with only one thought in her mind.
Grandma has passed away.
She had considered that a lot could happen in five years-Adrian remarrying or having children, everyone moving on with their own lives.
She had prepared for everything and thought it through clearly, accepting whatever would come.
But she never anticipated her grandmother's passing.
It was the last thing she wanted to hear, yet it had happened without a doubt.
Three years ago?
After lying quietly for a while, Eva suddenly opened her eyes.
Adrian, who had been keeping watch over her, froze as he saw her open her eyes without any warning, his heart skipping a beat. "You're awake?"
Although Adrian tried to keep a calm tone, one could still sense the panic in his expression.
After meeting his gaze, Eva sat up, her eyes calmly fixed on him.
Adrian's lips moved, but he couldn't say a single word.
Eva pursed her lips and stared at him for a while, then asked, "When?"
What is she asking with this question? The answer was already evident. But Adrian still couldn't bring himself to say it.
