Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 464 A Presence in Her Life
Eva did not hesitate much; after all, the question had to be asked sooner or later.
"Am I really your fiancée?" she asked earnestly, looking into his eyes.
Michael Cooper paused, surprised by the question yet seemingly expecting it. The woman he liked, even with memory loss, was unlikely to be a fool.
She was already skeptical, and if he were to affirm her suspicion now, not only would she disbelieve him, but she might also develop an aversion towards him. Her amnesia presented him with a new opportunity.
An opportunity he couldn't afford to overlook...
"No," Michael Cooper softly stated, "To say you are my fiancée...it's just wishful thinking on my part."
Just as she thought.
Eva narrowed her eyes, "Wishful thinking? Does it mean we are not even boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"We are dating, but you have yet to accept my marriage proposal. Moreover, you've been talking about breaking up with me, although I don't know why."
As he spoke, Michael Cooper lowered his eyelids, appearing utterly forlorn.
His behavior was not an act but a sincere reflection of his feelings.
In his eyes, during the five years, they spent together, he always treated her as his girlfriend.
So he wasn't exactly lying.
After listening to him, Eva didn't know whether to believe him or not; she just sank into her thoughts.
After a while, she lifted her head.
"What do you want me to tell the police?"
She thought it over and felt that she could help him with this since Michael Cooper had no ill intentions toward her. However, his ulterior motives were strong; he particularly wanted to keep her close. And she felt strangely compelled.
She came here as if she had something to do.
Even though she still couldn't remember what she was supposed to do, something inside her was telling her to stay.
She couldn't leave this place for the time being, so she guessed that she should cooperate with the police.
"It's simple. You don't need to say anything special. Whatever the police ask you, just answer them. When they inquire about our relationship, you can describe it however you like."
This response caused Eva to raise an eyebrow, prompting her next question, "Anything goes? What if I say you're a kidnapper?"
Hearing this, Michael Cooper paused, surprised but somehow expecting the question
"If you really put it that way, you'll truly be making trouble for me."
He did not react with rage or embarrassment, only offering her a look of helpless resignation.
Eva seemed to grasp something.
"Okay, I know what to say. When will the meeting be?"
As soon as Eva agreed, the meeting was arranged swiftly.
As a report had been filed with the police, certain procedures had to be followed. After seeing Eva and asking all the necessary questions, which Eva answered based on the information she knew, they were just about to leave when Eva suddenly asked a question.
"How does the police department usually handle cases of amnesia?"
The two officers who came to ask questions were originally preparing to pack up and leave, but this unexpected inquiry from Eva made them exchange glances and then sit back down. The expressions on their faces also became instantly grave and serious.
"Ms. Hansen, what do you mean by that?" one of them asked.
"Oh, what I meant was, I've lost my memory, and I don't remember anything from before," Eva explained.
"What about the answers you just gave us?"
"Well, the answers I just provided are based on what I've come to know since waking up."
Hearing this, the two officers looked at each other once more, seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
When Eva first came in, she hadn't said anything out of the ordinary, responding accurately to inquiries and exhibiting a cooperative demeanor.
They had even verified the identities of the two individuals and found nothing suspicious; indeed, they appeared to have been close associates, and there was no cause for suspicion. They had started to think that this was all a misunderstanding.
But now, Eva was suggesting she had lost her memory.
If she had lost her memory, then the validity of her previous statements might be in question.
With both officers still staring, Eva continued, "Actually, you don't have to worry. He and I are friends, and I haven't been threatened."
"But you?"
"I'm just a little confused about some things. I don't understand, so could you please help me?"
At this point, Michael Cooper and several others were waiting outside.
The wait had been rather long, so one of Michael Cooper's subordinates couldn't help but say, "Mr. Cooper, is it okay to leave Ms. Hansen alone with the police?"
Michael Cooper did not answer; his silence made his subordinate a bit anxious.
"Mr. Cooper, what if Ms. Hansen-"
"What are you worried about?" Michael Cooper glanced at him calmly, both his tone and demeanor exuding cool composure.
Subordinate: "..."
At such a moment, Mr. Cooper could still remain so calm. Could it be that he was overthinking things? After all, Mr. Cooper knew Ms. Hansen inside better than anyone else they should have nothing to worry about. With this thought, he slightly relaxed, maybe he was just being overly nervous?
As he was pondering, the door opened, and the police came out.
The subordinate stepped forward before Michael Cooper could, "Officers, everything cleared up now, right? I told you that it must have been a misunderstanding by the college girl. Ms. Hansen has been friends with our Mr. Cooper for many years; how could there possibly be any kidnapping?"
The two officers exchanged glances.
Although Eva inside had amnesia, she and Michael Cooper were indeed old friends, and moreover, he had saved her and taken her to the best hospital for treatment, provided a VIP hospital room and all-kidnappers don't treat their captives that well.
Plus, nothing suspicious had turned up in their investigation. The procedure was complete, and without anything substantial, they had to let it go.
They nodded and gave Michael Cooper, who stood not far behind, a nod, "It was a misunderstanding, we've sorted it out."
Hearing this, the subordinate revealed an elated expression.
"So, it means everything is fine now, right? Just as I said..."
Listening to him as he began another lengthy discourse, the police officers briefly explained a few points and then quickly left.
After the police had gone, the subordinate chuckled, "Mr. Cooper, you really do have a knack for predicting outcomes. Just as expected, Ms. Hansen didn't say anything."
Upon hearing this, Michael Cooper merely gave him a cold look and did not respond, then pursed his lips and went inside with a chilly expression.
Eva, having finished answering questions, was now sitting on the balcony.
Hearing footsteps, she didn't turn around.
Michael Cooper approached her from behind, watching her draped in a shawl, basking in the sunlight, presenting an image of peaceful times, and he pursed his lips tighter. She had amnesia.
He did not know when she would recover her memory, and whether she would hate him for what he had done once she remembered everything.
But ever since she had planned to get back together with Adrian Blackwood, there were no other paths left for him to take.
He decided to continue down this path regardless; even if she ended up hating him later, at least he would have a presence in her life.
