Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 416 Concern

At these words, Jacob's face changed.

He turned to look at Adrian, and seeing Adrian nod at him, Jacob stepped aside.

With the obstruction gone, Eva's gaze finally met Adrian's in the air.

Their eyes locked for a moment, then Adrian suddenly said, "Everyone, please step outside."

Hearing this, the doctor instinctively raised his hand to point at himself, "Are you asking us to leave, Mr. Blackwood?" Adrian nodded.

"But your wound..."

"My wound isn't a major concern at the moment; it can wait to be treated."

"If that's the case, then... alright..." The doctor was about to agree when Eva, standing there, interrupted him.

"Treat it now." The three of them looked at Eva as she walked over with a stern face, somewhat displeased as she spoke to Adrian, "You've been injured and if you don't tend to it now, what do you plan on doing? Do you think the pain isn't enough, or do you believe you have plenty of blood to spare for a while longer?"

Adrian mumbled, "I..."

"Sir, wherever he's hurt, please attend to him now. I'll be watching." Eva said, not even acknowledging Adrian, as she turned and instructed the doctor. Under her serious tone, the doctor instinctively nodded.

"Okay, I'll treat his wounds now." He then fetched the first-aid supplies, approaching Adrian, "Mr. Blackwood, please take off your clothes."

Adrian glanced at Eva and met her glaring eyes.

"Aren't you going to undress?"

Under Eva's watchful gaze, Adrian reluctantly began to unbutton his shirt, his movements deliberately slow, as if to stretch out every second he could.

Eva, initially standing by, became slightly irritated at the scene and sat down beside him, reaching out to help him strip off his shirt.

Her movements were far from gentle. As soon as she pulled his shirt off, her delicate wrist was caught by Adrian.

Eva looked up, "What?"

Confronted with her inquiring gaze, Adrian shook his head and with a touch of guilt said, "Nothing, just be gentle."

Eva sighed, "Please hurry up with the treatment, Sir."

"Of course." The doctor resumed attending to the wound that was half-treated. Now that Eva was sitting so close, the stench of blood was more intense. She frowned and looked down at his wound.

But before she could see clearly, a pair of hands gently covered her eyes.

Eva paused and asked, "What are you doing?"

"There's really nothing to see. Let the doctor handle it."

"I'm not going to react even if I see." Eva said.

Adrian pursed his thin lips, "I don't want to worry you."

Eva's response was to pull his hands away.

With just a glance, she froze on the spot.

There was a large gash on Adrian's abdomen, seemingly inflicted by a knife.

Not only was the injury extensive, but it also looked very deep.

As the doctor treated him, the wound kept bleeding profusely, presenting a terrifying sight.

After a few moments, Eva placed her hand over her mouth, and seeing her reaction, Adrian again covered her eyes.

"You claim you're not scared, but you look frightened, don't you?"

His voice was soft, teasing in tone, but Eva could hear a trace of helplessness in it.

It was as if he was saying, "I told you not to look for your own good. You didn't listen, and now you see I was right, don't you?"

Eva had considered the possibility that he'd sustained a severe injury, knowing his penchant for playing the victim, he'd never conceal it otherwise. However, she never imagined it could be this serious.

With that thought, Eva bit her lower lip, abruptly pushed Adrian's hands away and turned to the doctor, "His wound isn't life-threatening, is it?"

"It's not fatal." the doctor replied.

"But the wound looks terrifying." Eva frowned.

"Yes, it does look quite fearsome, and had it been any deeper, it could've been fatal. Thankfully, it's not that severe. I'll take care of it, and he will just need to keep it dry afterward."

While the doctor spoke lightly, Eva could only feel relieved that Adrian's wound wasn't fatal, but she sent him a fierce glare.

Adrian pondered and eventually vented his frustration towards Jacob standing nearby.

Jacob wondered, "What's wrong with him? Did I do something?"

If he could hear Adrian's thoughts, he would probably hear Adrian blaming him, "It's your fault for not closing the door when you brought the doctor. She overheard everything from outside, didn't she?" After treating the wound and prescribing some medication, the doctor, at Eva's insistence, gave Adrian a full examination to ensure there were no other injuries before leaving.

Adrian flipped through the medication prescribed by the doctor, the sight of the many white tablets piled together giving him a headache. He pondered whether to throw them away later, when he heard some soft, indistinct voices from the door.

He looked up and saw Eva following the doctor to the door, asking, "Are you sure there's no need for another check? Like, internally, or other wounds that aren't visible?"

The doctor appeared exasperated by her questioning. "Ms. Hansen, we've checked everything necessary, and even the unnecessary. Generally speaking, there shouldn't be any major issues."

"Generally speaking? So, there are other possible scenarios? What about these other scenarios?" Eva was still feeling uneasy about his condition.

"Ms. Hansen, normally, the 'other scenarios' you're referring to wouldn't happen. Besides, if there really is 'another scenario', I'm still around. Just give me a call or come find me, and I'll be right over, so please rest assured that it won't come to that."

Hearing that he would be staying put, Eva finally felt at ease.

She had thought he might leave, and that Adrian could have emergencies that wouldn't be attended to in time.

"That's good, then. Could you give me your phone number, so I can save it?"

The doctor smiled resignedly, "Alright, I'll give you my number."

Watching the two exchange phone numbers at the door, Adrian was initially tempted to toss out his pills. But now... Ah well, he realized that he had better keep them. He needs to take his medication diligently to recover quickly, otherwise she'll end up worrying herself to death over him.

Having swapped contact details, Eva bid the doctor farewell, and Jacob followed suit, departing the scene.

Now, in the sanctuary of the home, only the two of them remained. Adrian captured a glimpse of Eva storing away her phone, her face a stern mask as she approached him, triggering an ominous hunch within him.

Sure enough, when Eva halted in front of him, her gaze swept across his face only briefly before settling on the pills beside him.

She walked over and picked up the pills without hesitation.

"The wound has been treated, now it's time for your medication."
