Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 454 A Confrontation

Penelope and Krister, who had followed Michael Cooper, saw the scene unfold and their faces turned pale with shock.

They exchanged a glance.

"What happened here?"

Meanwhile, Michael Cooper had picked the woman up off the ground, and in an icy voice he ordered, "Get a doctor over here right away." Though he didn't know what had happened, the moment he saw her on the ground, all other emotions were washed away by a wave of worry. He couldn't feel anything but worry, fearing that she might be in danger.

So, instinctively, he took her into his arms, instructed Krister to get a doctor, and then gently laid Eva down on the plush queen-sized bed. Krister went for the doctor, and Penelope stayed behind.

She had witnessed Michael's tender and meticulous care as he put Eva to bed. Envy and jealousy brewed in her; in all the time she had known Michael, she had never seen him treat any woman so well. What made this woman so special and worthy of Michael's attentions? Did Michael really have feelings for her?

The thought plagued Penelope until she couldn't help but shift her gaze toward Michael and bite her lower lip as she boldly asked, "Michael, do you like her?"

Michael didn't seem to hear, as if she was invisible in the room.

The feeling of being ignored enraged her. Why was she being ignored?

In her anger, she blithely blurted out, "Michael, don't trust her. She was fine during the day and now she's fainting? Be careful not to be fooled."

Perhaps finding her too annoying, Michael finally glanced at her impatiently.

"Get out."

His voice was cold.

At those words, Penelope's face turned pale.

"Michael, are you kicking me out? I finally found a chance to be with you and I don't want to leave.

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes as she spoke." Michael, please don't kick me out, okay?"

Michael intended to check if Eva had any injuries, ruffled her hair and found a wound on her forehead, his expression instantly changed and his tone was icy, "How did she get a wound on her forehead?" Hearing these words, Penelope froze, her previous posturing dissipated, leaving only silence and apprehension.

A wound on the forehead?

How could that have happened?

Could she have gotten it when she pushed? But she hadn't pushed, so how could Eva have gotten hurt?

Penelope was scared, but she didn't confess because she knew that she and Crist had conspired, and neither one would admit to what they had done.

Penelope thought quickly and offered a excuse: "I'm not sure what happened. Maybe she's protesting being locked in her room?"

Just moments ago, Penelope was playing coy with Michael Cooper. However, she soon had to bite the bullet.

A dark shadow flickered in Michael's eyes as he examined the cut on her forehead, recalling what she'd said to him earlier.

"Did you do something to her?" He asked suddenly, lifting his head to stare at Penelope with a chilling gaze.

Startled by the nervous look in his eyes, Rong stammered, "Michael Cooper, what are you talking about? How could I possibly do anything to her? I just met her for a while, you know?" Michael's gaze remained cold as ice.

"You think I don't know what kind of person you really are?"

"Michael, I..." Penelope's voice broke

"Get out!" he snapped.

Michael had always been the epitome of a gentleman in Penelope's eyes-always courteous-so his sudden outburst and harsh tone terrified her.

She stood still, trembling as she looked at him, then gathered the courage to turn and run.

As she ran out, she bumped into Krister, who was returning with the doctor. Seeing Penelope's disheveled and panicked expression, Krister guessed that things hadn't gone well, which made him anxious as well. Upon entering, he dared not say anything unnecessary and went straight to the point: "Mr. Cooper, the doctor's here."

"Come and see her injury," Michael instructed.

The doctor came over, examined the wound on Eva's forehead, and promptly sterilized it, and mentioned, "This wound looks like it hasn't been treated in time."

At this, Michael's eyes narrowed dangerously, and his expression became noticeably colder.

Krister involuntarily shivered in apprehension.

He was mentally prepared to be reprimanded by Michael, but his reprimand did not come. Instead, Michael ordered the doctor to give Eva a thorough examination before turning his piercing gaze on him. "What happened?"

Without hesitation, Krister explained, "Mr. Cooper, David did bring Ms. Hansen over as you requested. I was going to bring her to her room, but she insisted on seeing you... We were waiting by the door when Miss Turner appeared. She wanted to speak out for Mr. Cooper, and she and Ms. Hansen got into a conflict."

When he said these words, Michael Cooper was beside him and kept listening quietly, and when he finished, Michael Cooper hooked up his lips and snorted softly.

"Conflict, huh?" Michael asked.

Krister nodded in the affirmative.

"Yes, Mr. Cooper."

"You really expect me to believe that story?"

Eva came with her attention focused entirely on Adrian Blackwood. She had come here for two people-the other being herself-and the person who had attracted her attention was none other than Adrian Blackwood.

He knew Eva too well. She didn't like wasting time or getting into conflict with others, let alone actively provoking it. The so-called "conflict" Krister had referred to was one-sided at best.

Realizing that her words couldn't fool Michael Cooper, Krister hastened to correct himself.

"I was wrong, Mr. Cooper. It was Ms. Turner who started the conflict."

"And what did she do?"

"She pushed Ms. Hansen."

Michael's eyes narrowed.

"Ms. Hansen wouldn't go into the room, so Ms. Turner pushed her in and instructed me to lock the door."

At that point, Michael had nothing left to ask. Essentially, Penelope had pushed Eva by surprise, and Eva had been caught off guard and therefore unprepared for the confrontation.

After Eva fell, Krister locked the door on Penelope's orders. Just by piecing together these clues, Michael had a pretty good idea of what had happened.

His gaze turned to Krister, a glint of ice in his eyes.

"Did you see her fall?"

Krister stammered, "I ......"

"You saw her, but you didn't pick her up or check her for injuries, did you?"

"Mr. Cooper, I am wrong and I am sorry."

Realizing his mistake, Krister, who had been so composed just a moment ago, felt his legs go weak.
