Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 263 Wasn't it you who wanted a divorce back then?
Adrian stood quietly in the distance, watching Eva lean gently against the tombstone and speak to Granny. He couldn't hear what she was saying, but he could feel the intense sadness and despair emanating from her. Her current state was exactly how he felt when he first learned of Granny's passing. No, it was even worse.
Adrian recalled five years ago when Granny had surgery, and she became lost in her own fantasies. It showed just how important Granny was to her.
With this in mind, Adrian narrowed his eyes, growing concerned about how Eva would be after seeing Granny.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, the weather began to worsen. Thunder rumbled in the sky.
Jacob looked up and noticed the deteriorating weather. Furrowing his brows, he reminded Adrian, "Mr. Blackwood, it looks like it's going to rain again. Should we go find Ms. Hansen and head back?" Adrian stood still for a moment, then said, "Go and bring two umbrellas."
Jacob hesitated, then ultimately didn't say anything, turning to find the security guard and request umbrellas.
A few minutes later, Jacob returned with two umbrellas.
Adrian held two black umbrellas and rushed over towards us.
"Mr. Blackwood, here you go."
"Take them over."
After saying that, he thought of something and opened his palm towards Jacob.
"Forget it, give them to me."
He took one umbrella and walked over.
Eva was already leaning there in silence, just sitting quietly. It seemed like she didn't care about her appearance anymore, sitting there regardless of whether the ground was wet or not, and her light-colored coat showed traces of soil staining. Adrian frowned slightly, holding the umbrella and stopping in front of her.
"It's going to rain."
He reminded her, but Eva didn't react even though she heard it, still sitting there expressionless.
Adrian furrowed his brows, "Eva."
She remained seated and didn't move.
Another thunderclap sounded, and it started drizzling.
Adrian's expression changed slightly as he held the umbrella, shielding her from the falling raindrops.
But Eva sat there unmoving, as if she didn't hear his words or feel the rain pouring down.
Indeed, something was off.
At first, it was just a light rain, but later the sound of rain hitting the umbrella became more urgent. If she sat like this, her clothes would probably get wet. It's winter now.
Adrian didn't care anymore, he bent down and embraced her waist, lifting her up.
Eva was very thin, so even if Adrian was sick, he could still carry her effortlessly.
As Eva was pulled up, she leaned against Adrian, powerless as if her soul had been drained.
Jacob hurried over when he saw the situation and took the umbrella for Adrian.
After Jacob lifted the umbrella, Adrian lowered his head and looked at Eva in his arms.
"What's the use of being sad now? They're already gone, crying won't bring them back." Adrian's words were harsh and direct, piercing Eva's heart like a knife.
She looked up at him.
Despite knowing she shouldn't, she couldn't help but feel resentful towards him at this moment. "It's you, it's all your fault."
Adrian saw her suddenly turning the blame towards him, "What do you mean?"
Eva tightly bit her lower lip, refusing to speak, staring at him fiercely.
Seeing her glaring at him in anger but not uttering a single word, Adrian narrowed his eyes, "Speak."
Why is she blaming herself? Does she have something to hide from me?
Eva scoffed, "What's there to say? What is there to discuss between us, Adrian? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have left my grandmother, and I wouldn't have missed her final moment entirely." "What do you mean? It wasn't you who wanted the divorce in the first place?"
"I wanted the divorce?"
Eva seemed to have heard a joke, she pushed Adrian away directly and took a few steps back, exposing herself to the rain.
Seeing this, Adrian's expression changed, he held the umbrella and stepped forward to shield her from the rain.
When he saw that she still wanted to step back, Adrian just held onto her waist.
"Don't step back and get drenched."
"That's none of your business." Eva said, refusing to say more.
With a cold expression, Eva wanted to break free from his shackles, but Adrian grabbed her wrist. "Why does it have nothing to do with me? Let's clear things up right in front of grandma." Upon hearing the last sentence, Eva suddenly realized that they were still at her grandma's grave. Even if they wanted to argue, they should leave the grave first.
She couldn't lose control.
Thinking about this, Eva's terrible mood gradually subsided, and she began to calm down.
She lowered her eyes, and her whole being became serene once again.
"I have nothing to say to you, so go back." Eva said, taking two steps forward, but Adrian held her back. "Explain yourself."
Adrian had no intention of leaving. Instead, he held onto her wrist. "What do you mean by, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have left grandma? What does that mean?" Eva looked at him coldly.
"Can't you understand the literal meaning?"
After saying that, Eva forcefully shook off his hand, but suddenly everything went dark before her eyes, without any anticipation, she fell down.
"Ms. Hansen!" Jacob, who was beside them, exclaimed and subconsciously tried to move forward.
Adrian timely caught her.
Eva, who fainted, fell into his embrace. Adrian then noticed that her complexion was completely different from when she had arrived earlier. Now, she looked very pale, which he hadn't noticed before.
"Mr. Blackwood, is Ms. Hansen alright?" Jacob asked with concern as he looked at Eva's pale face.
Adrian didn't respond but instead handed the umbrella to Jacob. "Hold onto this."
Jacob reached out his hand to receive the umbrella. However, both umbrellas were too big, so he couldn't hold onto Adrian's while holding his own. After a second of deliberation, he decided to throw away his own umbrella and only use Adrian's.
After receiving the umbrella, Adrian lifted Eva in his arms. Jacob followed closely, holding the umbrella for her, and they hurriedly left the cemetery.
By the time they reached the car, Jacob was completely soaked.
Adrian was also covered in water, looking quite disheveled.
But he didn't pay attention to himself. He went into the car and took out a clean towel, wiping off the rainwater from Eva's body while instructing, "Drive to the hospital."
Once inside the car, Jacob also quickly grabbed a towel to dry himself.
It was winter, and getting caught in the rain was extremely cold.
However, Jacob was a man, usually with a strong physique, so it wasn't much of a problem for him.
As he wiped himself off, he observed Adrian and noticed that Adrian completely disregarded himself. Jacob could only wait until he finished wiping off the water before offering a dry towel. "Mr. Blackwood, your back is wet too. You should wipe it."
Adrian saw the dry towel in his hand and took it, but instead, he wiped Eva again.
After wiping Eva once more to make sure there was no trace of moisture on her, Adrian finally used the remaining towel to clean himself.
