Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 367 Clearing the Situation
When Vivian heard that it was Adrian who called the Blackwood couple back, she felt a bit worried.
Did Adrian already know about her situation in the morning? Thinking about it, it seemed possible. Yet, he doesn't want to see her now, he hasn't answered her calls since the incident, and he had urgently called his parents back to the country. It doesn't seem like he wants to handle this matter, but rather wants to deal with what happened last night...
Just the thought of this possibility made Vivian feel anxious. She could only hold onto Mrs. Blackwood and pour out all her grievances, begging her to believe in her.
Mrs. Blackwood comforted her for quite a while before leaving the hospital room.
After leaving the hospital, the couple got into their car.
"How did things develop into this?" Kim's eyebrows furrowed tightly, immediately asking his wife once she got into the car.
Mrs. Blackwood, however, changed her worried expression from the hospital and immediately turned serious. "Something seems off. If everything were normal, even if our son doesn't like her, he would have come to visit her given that such a big thing happened to Vivian. But just now in the hospital, I didn't see our son there."
Upon hearing this, Kim also squinted his eyes.
"You mean there's something suspicious about this? He called us back not because of her?"
Mrs. Blackwood showed a deeply contemplative expression on her face.
"Let's go and see what he wants us to do by calling us back."
The Blackwood couple sat side by side, and standing before them was Adrian with his hands in his pockets. His face was cold, with tight lips that seemed as if they were immersed in ice.
The atmosphere was very tense after Adrian uttered those words.
"I will completely sever ties with Vivian tomorrow." Adrian declared.
The atmosphere in the living room instantly changed. However, the expressions on the Blackwood couple's faces didn't change much, as if they had already anticipated this turn of events. After a long silence, Kim was the first to speak, sarcastically asking, "So, you're ready to bear the blame by cutting ties?" Adrian tugged at his lip and smiled disdainfully.
Seeing his expression, Mrs. Blackwood knew that he had already prepared himself mentally. Adrian had always had his own ideas since he was young, and once he made up his mind, it wouldn't easily be changed.
Realizing this, she sighed and said, "You called your father and me back in such a hurry, you must have a plan. If we were to advise you further, it would only lead to more arguments within our family. Since you have made your decision, we won't advise you anymore. But you have to tell us what exactly happened."
Adrian briefly described what had happened the previous night. He chose his words carefully, but he was direct and didn't hold back, without any consideration for the fact that his parents were listening or leaving any leeway for Vivian. After hearing his account, the Blackwood couple exchanged glances, and each could see the complex emotions in the other's eyes. After a while, Mrs. Blackwood remembered Vivian's pitiful expression at the hospital when she had complained to her, and she felt a sense of frustration.
"I never expected her to do such a thing." She appeared pure on the surface, but behind the scenes, she used such despicable means to frame a man. When that failed, she resorted to suicide to create a public opinion storm.
If not for the life-saving kindness between the two families, Mrs. Blackwood would not have spared any mercy when dealing with such a family. Unfortunately, the Morrison family had been saviors to the Blackwood family.
It was no wonder that although Vivian had saved her son's life, she had always felt somewhat resistant towards her. Mrs. Blackwood used to blame herself whenever she had such thoughts, feeling that her own heart was too dark. Little did she know that their paths would lead to this.
At this moment, the usually steady Kim suddenly spoke up, saying, "Actually, you don't need to feel indebted to her. Ever since she saved your life, we've helped them solve many problems behind the scenes over the years. Otherwise, they would never have reached their current position and would have gone bankrupt long ago."
"Yes, the last time Hector took a project, the company almost went bankrupt. It was your father who turned the tide, and they have been taking advantage of the Blackwood family's name behind the scenes. Although these things can't be exchanged for your life, we have done our utmost for them. It's not impossible to sever ties by offering some benefits."
Mrs. Blackwood nodded in agreement. For the two of them, their son's thoughts always held the most importance, no matter what.
As she spoke, Mrs. Blackwood recalled something, her face displaying a worried expression. "If this hadn't happened, Vivian would actually be a good choice. She even saved your life. It wouldn't be bad to be with her, but now it's not possible. After this matter is resolved, you should focus on your own affairs and forget about the past... those old acquaintances."
When it came to this matter, Mrs. Blackwood carefully considered her words. She had indeed liked Eva back then, but after their divorce, she could sense that when Eva left, there was more to the situation. Mrs. Blackwood only sighed. Some connections are beautiful yet fleeting.
However, after Eva left, Adrian visibly sank into a depression. He was like a withering plant, devoid of vitality and passion. Eventually, he even developed stomach issues. As time passed, Mrs. Blackwood naturally became concerned and hoped her son could move on. It was during this time that Vivian sincerely approached her, promising to stay by Adrian's side no matter what.
Though Mrs. Blackwood didn't have high expectations of Vivian, the thought of her son's near-death appearance made her ponder, What if?
But now, it seemed Vivian wasn't capable of that. Unexpectedly, Adrian raised his gaze to meet her eyes. "I'll handle my own affairs."
Hearing his words, Mrs. Blackwood couldn't help but sigh. "How will you handle it? Don't tell me you're still thinking about Eva. It's been five years. She might have already gotten married and had children. What good does it do to keep thinking about her?"
Adrian pursed his thin lips before responding, "She isn't married."
Mrs. Blackwood felt something was off hearing this, and she looked at him with confusion. "What do you mean? Who isn't married? Did you meet up with Eva? Has she returned?"
When asking these questions, Mrs. Blackwood couldn't help but stand up and move in front of Adrian. She was even more excited than he was. "Is it true? Where is she now? Can I meet with her?"
After five years, Mrs. Blackwood also missed Eva. Seeing his mother's excited state, Adrian could only say, "Control your emotions. Otherwise, I'm worried you won't be able to sleep from too much excitement."
