Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 470 A Single Meeting

Eva believed that Michael Cooper would agree to let her see Adrian just once.

But on second thought, she paused-Michael Cooper might not consent.

If she and David could think of it, Michael Cooper must have considered it too. Yet, she was willing to take the gamble. After all, whether her memory was intact or not, she had come of her own volition. Her past memories might be gone, but her instinctive reactions and clear understanding of her own character convinced her that her decisions were always well-considered.

"Eva, as I've said, a meeting is out of the question."

Michael Cooper's smile was gentle as his eyes met hers with warmth, "Beyond that, I'm open to anything else you might need."

At his words, a frown creased Eva's brow unconsciously.

"Aren't you making this difficult for me? This is my only request."

To which Michael Cooper challenged, "Are you sure?"

Eva froze.

"After the meeting, won't you want to cure his wounds? Or help him return to where he belongs?"

As he spoke, Michael's hand rested on her wrist, initially light, but soon his grip intensified.

"If I could only agree to one condition, which would it be?"

She stared at him, lost for words.

"Will it be the meeting, or sending him back to where he comes from for treatment?"

After a long pause, Eva asked, 'Was this in our original deal?"

"It wasn't," Michael Cooper admitted openly.

"This is not something we need to schedule it's a choice I'm offering you right now."

Eva gave him a long, silent look before pulling her wrist free from his grasp.

Then, she turned her back on him.

Her attitude made Michael Cooper pause for a moment before he added, "Do you need some time to think it over? That's alright. We're not running out of time, and I'm not in any rush. Just let me know once you've made up your mind." Eva remained silent.

Yes, he wasn't in a hurry, but the person lying in the hospital bed certainly was.

Thinking about the person who might have gone untreated during the days she couldn't remember made her restless. They had already lost several days, and if she delayed her decision any longer, she feared the worst...

"I'll leave you to get some rest. I'll come back to check on you later," he said, and got ready to leave.

Eva watched his retreating figure and, just as he was about to step out the door, she stopped him. "Wait."

"Fine, I can't see him, but at least let me check on his condition," Eva bit her lip. "How else will I know if he's really safe? How can I trust you're not deceiving me?"

Michael Cooper turned from the doorway to look back at her.

"Don't you trust David? Once you've agreed to stay, I'll assign him to you to handle your affairs exclusively. Whatever task you set for him, like visiting the person you're concerned about, he'll carry out and report back to you." At his words, Eva finally understood.

She and David had thought of the same thing as Michael Cooper: he wouldn't let her regain her memory directly, let alone meet that person.

The feeling of being controlled and threatened was truly infuriating.

Feeling like a knot of frustration was lodged in her chest, Eva realized she had no other choice.

With reluctance, she agreed.

"Fine."

Upon hearing her assent, Michael gripped the doorknob tighter, turning around in disbelief.

"You're agreeing?"

Eva's smile was mocking

"Do I have any other option?"

But it seemed Michael Cooper couldn't see the sarcasm in her eyes. All he knew was that she had agreed to stay, and without her past memories, he had a greater chance this time.

He smiled genuinely, "I will ask someone to bring you some food. Are you hungry?"

"I'm not interested in eating; send David to me."

With those final words, Eva turned away from Michael Cooper, clearly done with the conversation.

Even from a distance, Michael could sense her extreme annoyance.

His mood had shifted to one of pleasure, and in this state, even if Eva crossed the line with him-be it hitting or scolding-he'd take it with open arms. With that thought, a smirk crept across Michael Cooper's lips.

"Alright, I'll send for him to come see you."

The door closed and the room fell silent once more.

The memory of Michael's cheerful tone upon leaving weighed heavily on Eva. It was as if something was lodged in her chest-she felt stifled.

She couldn't even lay eyes on the man, and Michael wouldn't allow her to see how he was faring. She had no choice but to ask David for help.

She felt he was trustworthy. Once he arrived, she needed to inquire if there was any way for her to see that person.

David arrived promptly, likely because Michael was so pleased with her decision to stay that he hadn't been gone long before a knock sounded on Eva's door. "Ms. Hansen."

David's voice floated through from the other side of the door.

Eva rose swiftly to welcome him in.

Once he stepped inside, she quickly filled him in on the recent events.

"I see," David said, his face reflecting a touch of gravity. "If we can think of it, Mr. Cooper certainly has as well."

"Right," Eva nodded. "Is there any way I could see him?"

David pressed his lips together, pondering.

A way?

He didn't even know Adrian Blackwood's whereabouts after Michael had taken him-it was hard enough trying to locate him, let alone arrange for Eva to meet him. Noticing the troubled look on David's face, Eva sighed inwardly.

"If it's too difficult, don't worry about it. Just go check on him for me, assure his safety."

"Did Mr. Cooper agree?" David inquired.

"Yeah, we've already settled on an agreement," she confirmed.

An agreement?

A frown creased David's brow. "Ms. Hansen, you didn't agree to Mr. Cooper's terms, did you?"

At his inquiry, Eva tugged at her lips.

Seeing her reaction, David hesitated, struggling to find words. "Ms. Hansen..."

"There's no other way that I can think of right now. Adrian's safety comes first. When can you go check on him? The sooner, the better, of course."

Hearing her pressing need, David assured her, "If that's what you need, Ms. Hansen, I'll go right away."

Before he left, Eva reminded him, 'Michael doesn't want me to see Adrian or even know his condition. He'll probably keep a close eye on you as well. I had hoped to at least sneak a peek at a photo of him." Maybe she'd remember something after seeing a photo?

Hearing Eva's words, David's lips moved slightly before he replied, "Ms. Hansen, don't worry. I know what you're thinking, and I'll do my best to help." "Thank you."

"By the way, Ms. Hansen, did Mr. Cooper give you a cell phone?"

"Yes, what about it?"

David paused to think, then suggested, "Maybe you could try searching for Mr. Blackwood's name on your phone."
