Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 422 Is She Showing Concern for Others?

"I've already had someone start making arrangements." Adrian replied.

The lack of a definite answer suggested difficulties may have been encountered.

Indeed, although he had fought Michael and rescued her and the children, her documents were still with Michael.

Without her documents, returning to their country would require extra effort.

It seemed she wouldn't be able to think about going back just yet, but spending all day in the villa was particularly dull.

Not long after having breakfast downstairs, the doctor came to change Adrian's dressing.

His wounds were severe and naturally required close attention. After changing the dressing and admonishing some precautions, he checked on Ruby's foot injury. Once he finished, Jacob saw the doctor out, the kids were escorted back to their rooms by Jacob, while Eva stayed to watch Adrian take his medicine.

Those bitter pills went down like candies, one by one into Adrian's mouth, furrowing his brow with bitterness, yet he had to swallow them due to Eva's watchful gaze. It was a sensation both bitter and sweet.

After watching him take his medicine, Eva felt as if she had completed one-third of her duties for the day.

She had other worrisome thoughts on her mind, but facing Adrian made her hesitate to speak.

Noticing her hesitation, Adrian asked, "Is there something you want to talk about?"

Hearing this, Eva looked at him for a long time before ultimately swallowing back her words.

She shook her head gently, "No."

Adrian didn't press further; he simply watched her quietly.

He could tell she had something to say, but she wasn't willing to speak now, he couldn't force her.

He would just have to wait until she was ready to talk.

Eva spent the whole day in that place and went downstairs to wander around after lunch.

She ran into Jacob, who was just returning from outside. Seeing him reminded her of the questions she had wanted to ask Adrian but hadn't. She quickened her pace to meet him.

Jacob had just come back and, seeing her hurried approach, knew she must have something to ask him and stopped.

"Ms. Hansen, is there something you need from me?"

"Yes, I have a question for you." After saying this, Eva glanced around to make sure no one else could overhear them before asking, "Do you know how Adrian got injured last night? I mean, the process... who injured him? And what has become of the person who did it?"

Eva thought she had asked quite tactfully, but Jacob caught on immediately.

"Ms. Hansen, are you asking about what happened to Michael?"

Eva was momentarily at a loss for words, then asked, "So, it was really Michael who hurt him?"

She could hardly believe that Michael would strike Adrian so harshly. Even though they had turned against each other now, they had once been friends.

Could a friend inflict such a grave injury?

Eva had always felt that Adrian's wounds were most likely caused by people around Michael.

But she hadn't expected it to be Michael himself.

"Ms. Hansen, if it wasn't Michael who hurt him, then who else could it be? Not just anyone would have the chance to get close to Mr. Blackwood."

Eva bit her lower lip and said no more.

She knew that by probing further, she might annoy Jacob, given that she was now on Adrian's side.

She truly hadn't intended to harm Michael.

After all, Michael was a very special friend during a critical time in Eva's life.

Although she didn't ask further, how could Jacob fail to notice Eva's hesitation? He sighed and said, "Ms. Hansen, you're not really worried about that Michael, are you? There's no need to worry about him. No matter how well he treated you before, the things he has done recently are inexcusable. He brought you abroad without your consent, that's kidnapping! If it weren't for Miss Jones telling us that you insisted not to call the police, just for what he's done, he would be behind bars."

Eva frowned deeply upon hearing this.

"He just hasn't come to his senses yet. Once he does, it could be a rebirth for his life."

For Eva, Michael had been there for her in her most difficult times, but his own life was also shrouded in darkness, he likely had serious psychological issues.

This period must be difficult for him as well. How could Eva possibly kick him when he was down?

Once he came to his senses and got out of his current thought process, he could very well start a new life.

But if he were put behind bars, it would ruin the rest of his life.

"Come to his senses?" Jacob seemed to find her statement ludicrous. "Ms. Hansen, if he were capable of that, he wouldn't have done what he did. In my opinion, he's mentally disturbed, and unless he's willing to seek treatment, he'll never get better."

Seek treatment?

Eva actually did think that Michael genuinely needed medical attention, specifically from a psychologist, if he was willing.

That thought brightened Eva's eyes.

"Jacob, do you think it's possible..."

"It's not possible." Before she could fully express her suggestion, Jacob swiftly countered her, "Don't entertain that idea, Ms. Hansen. He's probably injured and in bed right now. Even if he needs a doctor, it will be their people who'll find one for him, not a psychologist." Eva's gaze dimmed slightly. "Is that so?"

She stopped talking and spared Jacob any further difficulty. "I won't bother you anymore, I'll be going now."

Jacob stood still, watching her dejected departure, and felt incredibly guilty.

Ms. Hansen, out of kindness, simply wanted to help a once dear friend, and yet he had just put her and her children through so much recently. It was simply unforgivable.

Well, he was looking at it from his own perspective, unable to fully empathize with her.

But he really shouldn't have spoken so absolutely.

In the end, Jacob reconsidered his stance. "Ms. Hansen, how about this... I'll keep an eye on the matter for you, and if there's any news, I'll inform you."

Upon hearing his words, Eva's eyes lit up.

"Really? Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"

Jacob smiled, "Not at all, Ms. Hansen. I'll do what I can."

After about fifteen minutes, the matter reached Adrian's ears.

Upon hearing the news, Adrian's brows furrowed deeply.

"Is she concerned about that man?"

Jacob nodded solemnly, "Yes, Mr. Blackwood. Miss Hansen seems too lenient towards Michael. He kidnapped her, and now she's looking to treat his illness." His words left Adrian feeling somewhat uneasy.
