Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 259 Do You Care?

In the instant that Eva was held by Adrian, she only had one thought-cold.

Adrian's hand felt as though it had just been immersed in ice, and the temperature difference between his hand and her warm wrist was significant, causing her to shiver uncontrollably from the cold. Eva couldn't help but glance at Adrian's slightly pale face.

As they had physical contact, Adrian naturally noticed Eva's reaction.

After she settled down, he immediately withdrew his hand.

Quietly, Eva asked, "Wasn't I not allowed in?"

Adrian's face darkened, but he didn't speak. However, in his heart, he felt that Jacob's plan wasn't bad.

Indeed, the more he acted like he didn't want her near, the more she thought he might be hiding his illness from her, and she wouldn't resist getting closer to him.

Such an outcome was exactly what he wanted.

Sure enough, after a brief silence, Eva took the initiative to ask, "Did you handle the discharge procedures?"

"What else? Wait until we come back to find accommodation?"

His tone wasn't good, but thinking that he was going to take her to meet his grandmother, Eva couldn't get mad. She could only say, "If the illness hasn't cleared up yet, it's also possible to go back and stay. Wouldn't it be better to recuperate?" Upon hearing this, Adrian glanced at her.

"Does it matter to you whether I recuperate or not?"

Eva smiled lightly, "Why wouldn't it matter? Don't forget, you are an important investor in our company."

Adrian's gaze dimmed slightly, and his thin lips seemed even paler.

Recalling the chilling temperature of his hand earlier, Eva asked a passing flight attendant, "Sorry, could you give me a blanket?"

The flight attendant quickly fetched a blanket and handed it to her.

Instead of using it for herself, Eva spread it out and covered Adrian with it.

Adrian turned his head, puzzled.

"Aren't you cold? Cover yourself."

Adrian instinctively retorted, "Who said I'm cold?"

"I did."

"I don't need it, take it away."

Eva raised an eyebrow, "I'm lazy."

With that, she turned away and ignored him. Adrian sat there, frowning. Despite his verbal resistance, claiming he didn't need it and even allowing Eva to take the blanket away, he made no physical movements. Adrian wasn't wearing much, and the soft blanket provided him with more warmth.

Unusually, Adrian remained in his original position without moving, afraid that the blanket might fall off. He couldn't possibly reach out to pick it up.

Eva, on the other hand, went about her work naturally, even taking out her notebook and starting to work in front of Adrian.

Because of his discomfort, Adrian remained leaning against his seat, just watching Eva work.

His gaze was fixed on her fair face, then her eyes, nose, lips, ears, lingering on every part of her he could see.

When she was focused on her work, she was just like she had been five years ago. Once she immersed herself, she couldn't care less about anyone around her.

Adrian quietly watched as she worked.

Not long after, Adrian suddenly noticed her furrowing her eyebrows and pausing her movements, staring at the notebook screen.

Initially, Adrian thought she had noticed him watching her and was displeased, but he had no intention of averting his gaze.

However, after a while, Adrian realized that wasn't the case. Because she continued to keep this pose, fixated on the computer screen, seemingly caught in some kind of dilemma. Only then did Adrian react and shift his gaze to her notebook screen.

After observing for a while, Adrian finally understood what was troubling her.

He slightly raised his thin lips and uttered a sentence.

Upon hearing his words, Eva snapped out of her work, looking towards Adrian.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Eva twisted her eyebrows and responded, "Why aren't you resting?"

Adrian said, "I'm not tired."

Eva didn't say anything else and, thinking about what he had just said, went to take a look at her own plan. She found that his proposed solution was indeed perfect. "Don't disturb me while I'm working," she told him.

Hearing this, Adrian lowered his gaze and sneered, "No good deed goes unpunished."

"I don't need your kindness," Eva replied. Adrian was infuriated by her response but calmed down slightly when he saw her writing down her suggestions. He coldly snorted in his heart.

Later, a flight attendant came by to distribute meals. Eva was busy with her plan and had no time, but she suddenly heard Adrian say to the flight attendant, "Bring me a glass of red wine." E va, who had been typing on her laptop without even looking up, abruptly raised her head and stared at Adrian. "You're not even fully recovered and you want to drink alcohol?" she exclaimed. Adrian calmly replied, "I'm almost fine now. I'll just have a few sips."

Eva was speechless for a moment but after a few seconds of silence, she said to the flight attendant, "I'm sorry, he just came out of the hospital and can't drink alcohol. Could you please bring him a glass of water?"

The flight attendant looked at Eva, then at Adrian, and finally nodded, "Alright."

"Eva, who do you think you are to manage me?" Adrian said.

With an impassive expression, Eva replied, "I'm your seatmate now. If you drink and have a relapse that affects my work, what will we do? After we get off the plane, you can drink wherever you want."

Later, the flight attendant brought a glass of warm water. Though the water was warm, it still emitted heat in this kind of weather. Adrian stared at the glass of plain water in front of him.

After living for so many years and being on flights for such a long time, this was the first time someone had brought him a glass of plain water. Surprisingly, he didn't feel any reluctance in his heart. However, he was currently more troubled by the fact that he didn't want to pick up the glass on his own as it would make him lose face.

But Jacob's words flashed in his mind. "If you care about your dignity, how can you win someone back?" With this in mind, Adrian pursed his thin lips and was about to reach for the glass when a fair hand reached out and took hold of it. Eva lifted the cup and felt the temperature. It was warm, just okay. However, if left for a while longer, the temperature would probably be insufficient. So she handed the cup to Adrian. "Drink it quickly," she urged.

Adrian looked at her but didn't move. Eva locked eyes with him and directly pushed the cup in front of him, urging, "Hurry up. Your complexion is so poor. If you get sick again after getting off the plane, let me tell you, I must meet Grandma tomorrow morning."

Adrian extended a hand out from under the blanket and caught the cup.

"Got it," he said. He drank half a cup of warm water. After drinking the half cup of warm water, Adrian indeed felt that his stomach was slightly warmer and he didn't feel as uncomfortable anymore.

In fact, Adrian didn't really want to drink alcohol anymore. After Jacob's words, he had come to his senses. Feeling miserable was just to make her look at him a little more, not because he really wanted to ruin his health. After drinking the warm water, Adrian leaned back in his seat and continued watching Eva work.

Outside the window, blue sky and white clouds, inside the window, her focused and serious profile.

For the first time in five years, Adrian's heart was so calm.
