Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 369 Impersonation
Memories that hadn't appeared in her mind for years were now resurfacing, stirring up waves with fragmented images.
That day, Adrian fell into the water accidentally.
Because he had a near-drowning experience in his childhood, he had always been in a fearful state when it came to water and never learned how to swim.
Since Eva and Adrian weren't in the same class, they mostly hung out with their own classmates when they went out.
It was her classmate who suggested going to the river to catch shrimp that day.
They agreed, but halfway there, her classmate suddenly said she forgot something and asked Eva to wait by the river. Eva agreed, and her classmate went back to retrieve the item while she went ahead.
The springtime river carried a cool breeze, and Eva hunched her shoulders against the wind. She was still contemplating whether to go back and tell her classmate that they should rather not stay there, as the weather was too cold. Who knew if they would catch a cold after playing?
She was conflicted in her heart, about to turn back when suddenly, she heard someone shouting for help.
Eva followed the sound and saw Vivian, who was frantically calling out.
"Is anyone there? Help! Someone has fallen into the water!"
Vivian?
What was she doing here?
Eva looked around and realized she was the only one there.
Someone fell into the water?
Upon realizing that someone had fallen into the water, Eva instinctively took off her shoes and ran while looking.
When she saw that the person in the river was Adrian, Eva was almost scared out of her wits.
How did he end up in the river?
Isn't he afraid of water?
However, these thoughts only flashed through her mind for an instant before disappearing. She quickly took off her heavy coat, leaving her with only a thin undershirt, and she kept shouting. Eva brushed past Vivian and dived straight into the river.
The river water was piercingly cold, and Eva almost immediately felt her hands and feet freezing. However, her urgent desire to save Adrian pushed her to paddle hard. The current was so strong, and it took all her strength to reach Adrian's side.
By that time, Adrian had already swallowed water and passed out. Strangely, this worked in Eva's favor, as drowning individuals often cling tightly to their rescuers, hindering their movements if not unconscious.
Struggling, Eva finally managed to bring him closer to the shore. Vivian, who was waiting there, came forward to assist. However, once Vivian helped Adrian onto the bank, she completely ignored Eva and attended to him instead. Just as Eva was about to ask Vivian for help, her strength gave out and she was swept away by a sudden wave. Throughout this whole ordeal, Vivian never once glanced back at her.
Eva was carried far downstream and felt her body weaken. Fatigue began to cloud her awareness, and she almost considered closing her eyes and giving up. However, in an instant, she remembered something and rallied her spirits. She couldn't die here after saving Adrian.
The rushing river was bitterly cold, and she needed to find a way to reach the shore. At the very least... she had to make it to land before she could rest.
With that thought in mind, Eva summoned her last ounce of strength and finally managed to crawl onto the riverbank.
As soon as she made it ashore, Eva's final reserves of energy were depleted, and she collapsed, gasping for breath. Her body shivered uncontrollably, and her eyelids involuntarily closed.
In the end, her consciousness faded away.
Past memories played out in Eva's mind like a film, bringing back moments she couldn't recall before. Those forgotten details now became startlingly clear.
When she remembered everything, Eva's breath hitched, and she instinctively placed her hand over her chest, gasping for air.
How could this be?
Was she the one who saved Adrian?
Then where was Vivian?
Wasn't it said that Vivian was the one who saved Adrian's life?
Why did she have these memories? Did Vivian take credit for her actions, or was her memory playing tricks on her?
But if it was a mistake, how could these memories feel so real?
Eva found herself unable to calm her racing breath for a while.
After about ten minutes, she sat on her bed, grabbed her phone, and found Adrian's number. She intended to call him but immediately regretted it and quickly hung up the moment the call connected. After that, she felt incredibly overwhelmed and drained.
Somehow, she raised her hand and covered her forehead in frustration.
What was she doing?
What was she going to say if she called Adrian at this moment? Was she going to tell him that it was not Vivian who saved him, but herself? Would he believe her?
After all these years, just with a few words?
Besides Adrian, she wouldn't believe it either if someone told her right now that it was not Vivian who saved him.
Unless, she could find evidence.
But where could she find evidence?
The reason Adrian believed Vivian saved him was simply because he was unconscious at the time, he didn't even know who saved him.
And she was swept away by the river at that moment. There was only Vivian beside him, so everyone naturally assumed it was Vivian who saved him.
If she went out now and said that she was the one who saved him, she would probably be seen as stealing credit.
Lost in her thoughts, her phone vibrated.
Eva's expression changed slightly as she glanced at the caller ID.
It was Adrian, most likely because she had just called him and he couldn't answer in time, so he called back.
There wasn't much she could say after picking up this call.
But after a moment of hesitation, she answered the phone.
"Are you looking for me?" Adrian's voice sounded a bit urgent, "Why did you hang up so soon after calling?" Eva pursed her lips, hesitated, and finally could only say, "I didn't mean to call you, it was a misdial."
"Misdial?" The tone of his voice showed he was skeptical, as if he didn't believe that she had just misdialed.
"Yeah, it was a misdial, I have nothing else to say, so I'll hang up." After speaking, without waiting for a response, Eva hung up the phone. Adrian stared at the disconnected call, his brow furrowed tightly.
A misdial?
Under normal circumstances, how could she possibly misdial his number?
And even if it was a misdial, why would she hang up in a second? When he called back, she seemed to not want to talk much with him.
And while speaking, she seemed to be slightly out of breath.
Thinking of this, Adrian immediately put away his phone, grabbed his coat and car keys, and quickly left the house.
When he was going downstairs, he happened to meet Kim and Margaret. They were still awake and when they saw Adrian was about to go out, they immediately asked, "It's so late, where are you going?" "There's something urgent I need to take care of, you guys go to bed."
After saying that, Adrian left without waiting for a response.
