Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 333 Cutting Ties
She didn't agree, but she also didn't refuse.
Adrian's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally let go, and he slightly curled his lips as he looked at her side-lying figure.
It's not that he was pretending. With the temperature outside right now, wearing only a single shirt, he truly felt cold. It was probably because of the recent stomach bleeding and hospitalization that he still hadn't fully recovered, causing his body to be weakened.
Of course, he could ask Jacob to get another coat for him, it would only take a little time.
Jacob did suggest that.
However, in that instant, Adrian still wanted to come in and try to be with her, if possible.
And he succeeded.
Although it was still cold inside, seeing her and the children sleeping peacefully on the bed, Adrian's heart gradually warmed up.
After sitting for a while, he got up and poured himself a cup of hot water. The sound of him drinking the water seemed loud in the quiet night.
Eva had been anxious since earlier that evening and hadn't eaten or had even a sip of water. Now she was feeling a bit thirsty. However, she didn't want to talk to Adrian at all, so she decided to keep her eyes closed and endure it.
After a while, Eva could no longer bear the thirst and opened her eyes. She lay quietly for a moment and finally decided to get up and have some water. Since there hadn't been any movement behind her, Eva guessed that Adrian must have been sitting with his eyes closed, resting.
As long as she moved quietly.
She was thinking of this when Adrian's voice sounded.
"What's wrong?"
Eva's movement stalled as she heard his voice.
Then she slowly turned her head and saw Adrian walking towards her. "What do you want to do? Tell me, and I'll help you."
"No need." Without hesitation, Eva rejected his offer for help, sticking to her plan of getting out of bed. However, she didn't move at all, and her body almost tilted forward. Fortunately, Adrian reached out and caught her in time, preventing her from falling onto the floor.
A sigh came from above.
"Do you need to go to the bathroom? Shall I carry you?" Although Adrian was inquiring, before the words fully finish, he had reached out and scooped her up horizontally.
"What are you doing? Put me down." Considering that the two children were still sleeping, Eva kept her anger in check, speaking in a low voice.
Adrian glanced at her lightly. "Don't you want to go to the bathroom?"
"Who told you I wanted to go to the bathroom? I don't."
"Is that so? After going through so many bottles of fluid, you should want to go to the bathroom."
To avoid him dwelling on whether she wanted to go to the bathroom or not, Eva had to elaborate to him.
"I don't want to go to the bathroom. I just want to drink water."
"Drink water?" Adrian's movement faltered, probably not expecting that. His eyes also showed some doubt. "You really want to drink water?"
"What else? I haven't had a sip of water since evening, and my throat hurts." She responded impatiently.
Only now did Adrian realize what was going on. He sighed helplessly, and in a low voice, he said, "Earlier, when I asked if you wanted to drink water, you refused."
After speaking, he gently placed her back on the bed and turned around to pour her a glass of water.
Soon he returned with a glass of warm water, and this time Eva didn't refuse. She was desperately thirsty.
After nodding slightly towards Adrian, she took the water glass from him.
As she drank, Adrian stood beside her, watching her, his gaze fixed on her face.
"Don't drink too fast, no one is trying to snatch it from you."
Eva replied, "I'm just drinking water. I'm not a child. Do I need you to teach me?"
After finishing the remaining half of the glass, she handed it back to him.
Adrian took it from her with a smile.
Then unexpectedly, he blurted out, "Do you need to go to the bathroom?"
Why is it this question again?
She really wanted to refuse, but damn it, she actually seemed to have a bit of that need now...
Eva's face grew serious.
But before she could say anything, Adrian interjected.
Evoking an air of understanding, Adrian replied, "I'll carry you there."
Carrying her once again, he arrived outside the restroom.
Luckily, at this moment, the IV infusion had already finished, and her forehead injury didn't pose any difficulty in using the toilet.
After entering the restroom, Adrian opened the toilet seat for her and had the tissues prepared in advance. Only after he finished preparing everything did he say, "I'll wait for you outside. Call me when you're done." With that, he left and closed the door behind him.
Eva stood still for a moment and then asked in a soft voice, "Are you outside?"
Immediately, Adrian's response came from outside, "I am."
Finally unable to bear it any longer, Eva said, "Can you please go a bit further away?"
She casually uttered a few words, yet he could still hear her. How could she use the restroom with him so close?
After a brief silence, Adrian's voice came from a distance, low and muffled. "Is this far enough now?"
Eva decided to open the restroom door, expressionlessly, and said, "Further."
Adrian obediently distanced himself.
Seeing him being exceptionally far away, Eva closed the door.
After she finished, washed her hands, and opened the door to walk out, Adrian was still standing in the same spot.
Upon seeing her, he quickened his pace towards her.
"No need for you to carry me."
Eva managed to stop him before he touched her.
Adrian's movement came to a halt. "Are you able to do it yourself? Are you in pain anywhere?"
"No." Eva glanced at him. "It's just a forehead injury, not a leg injury."
The hospital room wasn't large. During their conversation, she had already reached the side of the bed, and Adrian had been following her all along. After she lay down, he adjusted the pillow for her and tucked her in. It seemed considerate and attentive, yet Eva couldn't help but feel angry when she thought about what he had done before.
"I won't hold today's incident against you."
Upon hearing her words, Adrian paused in his action of tucking the blanket, looking at her with surprise.
"I can let it go, but from now on, don't come around us anymore. We will sever all ties."
Adrian's once surprised expression instantly turned cloudy.
"What do you mean?"
"I made myself clear, didn't I?"
"Are you saying that you don't want to see me anymore?"
"Well, more or less."
Adrian fell silent for a moment and finally asked, "What if I disagree?"
Eva maintained an indifferent expression. "If you disagree, then so be it. I'm not asking for your approval."
After saying this, she saw Adrian calm down again, but he didn't leave. Instead, his gaze fixed earnestly on her face.
"Are you really making me leave? Can't I take care of you and the children?"
Eva chuckled lightly, a hint of mockery in her eyes.
"Why should you? Adrian, tell me, why should you? You didn't want the children in the first place, and now suddenly you want to take care of us. Why the sudden change of heart? It's not up to you to decide."
