Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 336 In the Morning

When this question was asked, both of them fell silent.

Eva was silent because she remembered the occurrence at the pool club downstairs, where Vivian's friends took her phone and played a prank by sending her messages. Adrian's facial expression also indicated that he and Eva had thought of the same thing.

At this moment, both of them thought of the same possibility.

After a long while, Adrian looked at Eva and said, "Perhaps the phone really wasn't in my hands?"

Eva pursed her lips but did not reply.

Adrian grasped onto this glimmer of hope and immediately asked, "If, Eva... I mean, if, when you told me about this, the phone really wasn't in my hands, and that's what caused all of the events that followed, would you still blame me?" Upon hearing this, Eva remained silent, thinking carefully about the possibilities and her response.

"If the phone wasn't in your hands, then whose hands would it be in?" Eva fixedly looked at him. "Your phone is always with you, right? If it really wasn't with you, it would only be with someone important to you. Even if you didn't see the messages, so what?"

And how did she know if what he said was true?

Was he intentionally trying to confuse the situation with this scenario?

In any case, until everything was investigated clearly, she wouldn't just blindly believe him.

These words also silenced Adrian.

He pressed his thin lips together. When he wanted to explain further, Eva yawned.

"I'm a bit tired. Can I rest for a while? Instead of asking me so many questions, why don't you try to find out what really happened back then? If you truly didn't receive that text message, then who did?"

"And if I come to you with answers and proof of my innocence, will you listen?"

"Alright." Eva replied absentmindedly, turning her face to the other side. Her behavior pierced Adrian's heart, making his clenched fist relax and he got up to cover her with a blanket. Eva closed her eyes when he approached, afraid that he might say something else to her.

Afraid of disturbing her further, Adrian decided not to bother her anymore after covering her and walked towards the window, lost in his thoughts.

Text message? Whenever he had his phone with him, he rarely missed any text messages sent by Eva. If he did miss any, it could be either because he didn't see it or it was mistakenly classified as junk. But how could Eva's message be treated as junk when she was in his contacts?

With that in mind, Adrian quickly took out his phone to check. When he flipped it open, his expression cracked instantly.

It had been five years... His phone was long since replaced, and those texts from back then were long gone. What could he find now? His fingers with distinct knuckles scrolled through the phone screen chaotically, and ideas flashed through his mind. But they were too fast for him to grasp. In the end, he could only lean against the wall, furrowing his brows tightly.

After a few minutes, Adrian left the room and called Jacob. Jacob had actually been waiting outside for quite some time and had just returned home to take a hot shower before crawling into bed.

As he settled into his blankets, he complained, "This weather is freezing! Being Mr. Blackwood's assistant is not easy. Luckily, I can come back early and get some sleep." Just as he was about to doze off, his phone vibrated again.

Since he was always on standby as a personal assistant, his phone was always turned on 24/7. When his phone rang, he knew exactly who was calling. But the weather was too cold, and the bed was too warm. He really didn't want to get up. The phone kept ringing.

Eventually, Jacob had no choice but to crawl out of bed to answer the call. "Mr. Blackwood?"

Adrian mentioned a specific date and continued, "Find a way to check all the text messages received during that period for me."

Once Jacob realized the date Adrian was referring to, he was instantly puzzled. "But, Mr. Blackwood... that date was a long time ago. How am I supposed to check?"

"You're my assistant, figure it out. Check every text message, including junk messages," Adrian replied.

Before Jacob could say anything else, Adrian hung up, leaving a busy tone on the phone. Jacob sat there with the phone in his hand, speechless and choked up.

Eva vaguely heard the sound of children's voices and an unfamiliar male voice. Finally, someone gently touched her.

Touching her forehead, as if showing her the wound.

She was conscious but drowsy and fell back asleep.

When she woke up again, she was gently awakened by a pair of hands.

Eva opened her eyes and saw Adrian's concerned expression.

"Are you alright? You've been sleeping for a while."

Seeing him, Eva's gaze was somewhat hazy.

"What time is it?"

"It's morning."

"Morning? I think I heard the doctor come."

"Yeah." Adrian nodded. "The doctor came and asked me to find him when you wake up. Do you feel pain anywhere?"

Eva earnestly shook her head.

"No, I'm just tired."

Indeed, she was tired. Recently, she had been highly nervous, fearing that he would take the children away from her. Though she appeared normal during the day, she had been suffering from insomnia for many nights. Each night, she only slept for a few restless hours.

But now, perhaps due to her injury or because she had the recording as proof that he wouldn't take the children away from her, she slept peacefully.

"Just tired?" Adrian's brows furrowed. "I'm a bit worried that you're still so tired at this time. Don't fall asleep. Let me call the doctor."

After saying that, Adrian released her and left the room.

As soon as he left, the children immediately surrounded her.

"Mommy."

"Mommy, you're awake."

Only then did Eva notice Ruby and Dylan, who had been blocked by Adrian earlier.

"Dylan, Ruby, you're here too."

"Mummy, what happened? Does it still hurt?"

Ruby approached her, reaching out to touch her forehead, but Dylan behind her grabbed her arm.

"Ruby, don't touch her yet, mommy's wound hasn't healed."

Hearing this, Ruby immediately withdrew her hand, and then timidly said, "I won't touch, I won't touch. But mommy, does it hurt? How about I treat you?"

After speaking, Ruby climbed onto the bed with her short legs, her brother helping her from behind until she finally made it up.

The actions of the two little ones made Eva both amused and tearful. When she finally reacted, Ruby was already leaning by her face, puckering her lips and blowing air onto her forehead. "Mommy, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."
