Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 457 If You Can't Remember, then Stop
"Please let me go."
Eva was still insisting on the other end. Her voice was soft and delicate, and she kept trying to push away the person blocking her way. Unfortunately, it wasn't just one person blocking the doorway. Without their permission to leave, she had no way of getting out.
"I really have something very important that I need to do."
"What's so important?"
A voice suddenly rang out, causing everyone to pause and look in the direction of the sound, only to see Michael Cooper returning.
He walked swiftly towards Eva and entered the hospital room right away.
Seeing him return, the others retreated from the room and closed the door behind them as they left.
Eva looked up at the tall and handsome man standing before her, her brow furrowing slightly, but remembering that he was someone who had helped her, and judging by his actions, their relationship must be quite good. With this thought, she felt a bit more trust towards him.
"You're back. They wouldn't let me leave; they insisted that I wait for you."
"Mm, I went to discuss your condition with the doctor."
Hearing that he was talking about her health, Eva immediately became anxious.
"My condition? Is there something wrong with me?"
Michael Cooper glanced at her, amused by her nervousness, and smiled, "Yes, the doctor mentioned there is a problem."
"What's the problem?" Eva grew even more anxious upon hearing that there indeed was a problem.
"Don't worry about this issue right now." Instead of answering her directly, Michael Cooper said, "Before I answer you, why don't you answer a question for me?"
Upon hearing this, Eva paused. "What is it?"
"When I came back just now, I heard you telling the person guarding the door that you had something very important to do?" Eva nodded.
"What's this very important thing?"
Eva was stumped by the question; she paused in place with a somewhat vacant expression.
What was the important matter she had to attend to?
Right, what important matter was she supposed to take care of? Why couldn't she recall it anymore?
"I... I..."
Michael Cooper approached a bit closer, looking down at her from above: "What is this important matter? Tell me, will you?"
The next moment he saw Eva frown deeply, then shake her head: "I seem to have forgotten."
"Forgotten?" Michael Cooper didn't quite believe it. Just a second ago, he was standing outside listening to her stubborn desire to leave, all because she wanted to attend to that important matter she mentioned. Now, she claimed she couldn't remember...
Could it be, she was feigning her amnesia? Was she trying to deceive him?
"I, I really can't seem to remember, what exactly did I need to go out for?"
She just felt upon waking up that she had overlooked something very important and was instinctively driven to walk out. So, she acted on that instinct, and when asked by others, she responded instinctively too. But now when she actually had to articulate what important matter she needed to attend to, she couldn't come up with a single word.
"What do I need to do? What do I need to do?"
Gradually, Eva began to murmur to herself, caught up in the question.
The more she sought to know, the more elusive the memory seemed to become. The harder she found it to remember, the more agitated she grew.
She clearly had something to do, something very important, but why couldn't she remember it no matter how hard she tried?
Why was this happening?
What on earth had happened to her? Had she forgotten something important?
Subsequently, Michael Cooper watched as her expression slowly twisted into one of pain, and she covered her head with her hands.
Initially, Michael Cooper thought she might have been pretending, but as he observed her complexion grow paler and considered the medical reports, he realized that Eva wasn't feigning her condition. His gaze softened slightly, and he swiftly stepped forward to grasp her hand.
"Eva, if you can't remember, then stop trying to."
Unfortunately, by this time, Eva had already fallen deep into her thoughts, almost completely unaware of his words.
Michael Cooper could only watch as her face turned even paler, almost ghastly, with fine beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Out of helplessness, he eventually struck her on the back of her neck, knocking her unconscious. Eva slumped down limply, losing consciousness, and Michael Cooper swiftly caught her and held her gently.
He looked down at the unconscious girl in his arms with a pained expression for a moment before lifting her and placing her back on the bed
Afterward, he took a handkerchief he carried with him and wiped the fine sweat off her forehead.
It seemed that once she awoke, he could not let her continue pondering like this.
Firstly, her regaining her memory would not benefit him.
Secondly, if the process of recovering her memory was so painful, then it might be better for her to keep forgetting.
With these thoughts, Michael Cooper's hand slowly descended onto Eva's fair cheeks, he murmured.
"Eva, don't blame me; I just want to take care of you myself."
At noon, Krister came to see Michael Cooper, saying there was an urgent matter.
Michael Cooper had already made up his mind, so his mood was still rather good.
"What's the matter?"
"Mr. Cooper, David wants to see you."
On hearing David's name, Michael Cooper remembered bringing Eva over this time. His lips twitched slightly, but before he could speak, Krister continued, "He's here, waiting outside." Upon hearing this, Michael Cooper's facial expression suddenly turned cold, "Who told him what happened?"
Seeing his change in demeanor, Krister subconsciously took a small step back, then explained, "Not quite sure about that, but he..."
"Never mind, let him wait outside."
After Krister left, Michael Cooper turned his head to glance at Eva, who was still in a comatose state, and quietly watched her for a moment before getting up to leave. Meanwhile, David was waiting outside the door. Seeing Michael Cooper emerge, he approached.
"Mr. Cooper."
"Michael Cooper looked at him with extremely cold eyes, completely lacking the kind of warmth he had previously shown when looking at his subordinates."
This predicament was of his own making, so David felt neither aggrieved nor wronged.
His attitude towards Michael Cooper was the same as before.
"Mr. Cooper, the task you gave me has been completed, now, should you fulfill your promise?"
As David spoke, Michael Cooper threw a set of keys to him.
David reacted swiftly, reaching out to catch them.
After getting the keys, the anxiety that had been hanging over him finally settled.
But he did not thank Michael Cooper; instead, he prepared to leave as soon as he got the keys.
Before leaving, something occurred to David and he stopped and turned back to ask Michael Cooper, "I heard Ms. Hansen was injured, how is she doing now?" However, Michael Cooper did not seem inclined to answer his question.
"That's none of your concern."
Hearing this, David paused before speaking, 'You're right, it's not my concern. But since you're keeping her close, you'd better take good care of her.
