Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 469 Eva, You Really Do Know Me Well
Hearing that she was asleep, Michael Cooper didn't feel the urge to rush anymore.
He was initially concerned when the butler called, perhaps the aftermath of her recent injury, which cast a shadow over him, making him especially anxious about Eva's well-being. Once the call was made, he dropped everything to rush back.
Learning she was just sleeping, he exhaled in relief.
Standing there, he turned to Jane, "Didn't she go out for a stroll? How come she's back so soon?"
"Yes," Jane nodded. "But she felt tired just as we entered the supermarket. Ms. Hansen only bought some food instead of shopping, and then we returned."
Michael Cooper's attention peaked when Jane mentioned that Eva had taken the initiative to buy food, "What did she buy?"
After Jane listed off the items and added, "But Ms. Hansen hardly ate any of it, she didn't seem very interested."
"It's okay, just keep that in mind for later."
Eva was still willing to nibble on some food. Definitely worth taking note of.
"Sure, Mr. Cooper."
Jane noticed he remained standing in place and couldn't help but ask, "So, Mr. Cooper, when will you be visiting Ms. Hansen?" "No rush."
Michael Cooper's expression was placid, his gaze warm and gentle. "Isn't she sleeping? We'll talk after she wakes up. Would you please let the kitchen know to keep food ready at all times?" Jane agreed and headed off towards the kitchen. She couldn't stop thinking on her way; Mr. Cooper truly cared for Ms. Hansen.
And Ms. Hansen had turned out to be easier to get on well with than expected. If things between them lasted, her work environment would definitely become more relaxed. Yet, she faintly sensed that Ms. Hansen might not be fond of Mr. Cooper.
But then, considering the kindness Mr. Cooper had shown by bringing her into his home, and his open display of affection, it would be hard for any woman to not be charmed. With this thought, Jane felt reassured and pushed the matter out of her mind.
Eva, after returning to her room, didn't actually fall asleep. Instead, she lay in bed, thinking about what she would say to Michael Cooper when he came.
Before long, noise from outside caught her attention. Since she wasn't asleep, she even heard the sound of the doorknob turning.
Surprised by the noise, Eva sat up immediately.
Therefore, when Michael Cooper walked in, the first thing he saw was her sitting on the bed's edge, eyes wide open, looking straight at him.
He had expected to find her asleep, to sneak a quick peek and leave. But there she was, awake.
"Didn't sleep?" he asked right away.
Instead of answering his question, Eva got straight to the point: "I have something to discuss with you."
That statement made Michael Cooper's eyes flicker with a hint of anticipation, as if he already guessed what was coming. He approached her.
As Eva was about to step out of bed, he grabbed a sweater from the rack and draped it over her.
"It's chilly, remember to bundle up when you get out of bed, don't catch a cold."
The heating in the room made it quite warm, but Michael thought the clothing she wore was too light.
"What did you want to discuss? Sit down."
Eva sat on the edge of her bed and Michael Cooper, not bothering to find a chair, simply knelt down in front of her.
"What is it you want to talk to me about?"
Eva pursed her lips, watching him kneel down: "Take a seat?"
Michael Cooper waved his hand dismissively. "It's fine, leave it at that."
Eva knew there was no shifting his resolve, and without further persuasion, she cut straight to the chase with the question she had meticulously crafted in her mind.
"The person I intended to save before I lost my memory-who was it?"
Michael had anticipated she might broach the subject, but her straightforwardness caught him off guard. Still, it was very much in line with her character: direct, even in the way she had earnestly rejected him in the past. A wry smile flickered across Michael's lips. "Did David tell you?"
Eva returned his gaze with a serene steadiness. "Aren't you the one giving him opportunities?"
She knew that Michael felt some guilt and had allowed David to stay close by as a chance to redeem himself.
After her words, Michael watched her in silence, a slow smile creeping across his face. "Even with your memory gone, you always seem to read my mind. Eva, you really do know me well."
Eva remained silent. She thought to herself, 'It's pretty obvious to anyone, Michael. Your transparency doesn't exactly require deep understanding.'
She didn't want to dwell on this trivial matter; her focus was on resolving the purpose of her visit.
"So, can I see him now?"
Her determination wasn't swayed by his attempts to change the subject. She was intent on addressing the issue at hand.
A flicker of displeasure crossed the depths of Michael's dark eyes, surprised by her persistent concern even after losing her memory. "Eva, you can't see him."
At his words, Eva's brows knit together in confusion. "Why not? If you were against it, why bother having David tell me in the first place?" Michael remained silent, holding her gaze.
After a moment, Eva, resolved to cut to the chase, pressed him. "Just tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"You can't see him, but you can make me give him treatment and help him leave. There's just one condition," Michael said, pausing briefly. "I suppose you know what that condition is." Eva didn't respond, pursing up her lips in thought.
"Have you made up your mind?" Michael fixed his eyes on her. "I'll let him go, but in return, you will stay with me."
He knew she had likely come with her decision made, but he wanted to hear it from her to hear her say she would stay by his side.
But Eva, as if she heard his innermost desires, gave him no such satisfaction. Instead, she replied coolly, "If that's my only option to achieve my goal, then so be it. What I think doesn't really matter, does it?"
Michael Cooper held his silence, a faint trace of disappointment cresting his features. He watched her for a prolonged moment, before a small smile played at the corners of his mouth, "You might have a point." "I want to see him," Eva stated.
As a matter of fact, she and David also discussed something else because David was surprised to learn that despite her amnesia, she still remembered having something very important unfinished. In the midst of their conversation, he made a suggestion.
"Ms. Hansen, you still remember this matter, perhaps... You could try to meet Mr. Blackwood in person. It might help you regain your memories."
So, she kept David's words in mind and thought they made sense.
Memory should be something that can be stimulated. Perhaps seeing someone who is important to her might trigger her lost memories?
This feeling of not knowing anything, being unable to control anything, and having to rely on others to tell her everything was simply too dreadful.
