Eva, however, met his words with skepticism. "Empty promises. How do I know whether what you're saying is true?" Before her eyes, Michael took out his phone and made a call. "Get the best medical team for Adrian Blackwood immediately." As he made the call, Eva watched with a detached coolness. After he hung up, he looked at her, searching for a sign of trust. "So? Do you believe me now?"

Eva hadn't anticipated that her suspicions would lead to such swift action. Initially constrained by his controlling demeanor, she never expected that her doubts about whether he would treat her like he did Adrian Blackwood would send him into an anxious frenzy to prove himself.

She was pleasantly surprised to discover this effective strategy.

Eva then said, "Don't all your people obey you? Perhaps you are just putting on an act in front of me. Anyone can do that."

After saying this, Eva stood up and left without giving him another chance to prove himself.

Anyway, the one who should be anxious now was probably him.

Although she didn't understand why her skepticism had made him so eager to prove himself so frequently, she still didn't believe him. So, if he ultimately wanted her to believe, he should present the results right in front of her. That would be the best proof.

When Eva returned to her room, she saw Jane waiting for her at the door.

Because she disliked having a bunch of attendants standing around while she ate, everyone had gone off to attend to their own tasks.

Ever since Jane had been chosen by Eva that day, Michael Cooper had directly assigned her to follow Eva. Thus, when Eva went downstairs, Jane could only wait outside for her return. Seeing her come back, Jane quickly approached her.

"Ms. Hansen, have you had your meal?"

Noticing the enthusiastic Jane, Eva felt somewhat better. She lifted the corner of her lips and nodded.

"Yes, I have."

"How much did you eat? Did you have enough?" Jane asked, while observing her, "Ms. Hansen, you really are too thin; you need to eat more."

Lost in thought, Eva didn't hear Jane until she called her name a second time. She finally snapped back to reality.

"What is it?"

"Nothing much, I just noticed Ms. Hansen seemed lost in her thoughts. I called you several times, but you didn't hear me," Jane said.

After hearing Jane's words, Eva slipped back into her own musings.

Witnessing this, Jane couldn't help but sigh softly to herself. The weight on Ms. Hansen's mind seemed too heavy.

This time, Jane chose not to call her again and instead waited for Eva to come back around on her own.

Eventually, Eva did refocus, but her first question was to ask, "Where's David? Where is he now?"

"I'm not quite sure where David is at the moment," Jane replied, "but if Ms. Hansen wishes to find him, I can go look for him on your behalf?" "Yes, please do that. When you find him, tell him I need to see him."

"Alright, Ms. Hansen. I'll go right now."

David arrived quickly as usual, and as soon as Eva saw him, she recounted everything that had transpired downstairs.

"So, Ms. Hansen, you would like me to verify if the information is accurate?" David quickly grasped what she was hinting at.

Eva nodded and said, "You're the only person here I can trust, so when the time comes, help me investigate to see if he really did call for the best medical team to treat him." David pursed his lips and nodded in agreement, "Alright, I understand."

He had only been to Adrian Blackwood's current location once, with Michael Cooper's permission, to confirm there was no immediate threat to his life.

That place...

David's eyes narrowed slightly; getting back in would likely be challenging unless Mr. Cooper permitted it.

It seemed he needed to come up with a plan.

As David walked away deep in thought, his phone received a summons the next second. He looked at the message-it was from Michael Cooper, consisting of just two words: "Come here." Since he had been assigned to Eva's side, Michael Cooper rarely called for him anymore because his task was to ensure Eva's safety, which generally meant there was no need for further summons. If he was being summoned now, it surely had to do with something related to Eva.

Could it be related to what Ms. Hansen had just mentioned?

David made his way over promptly.

Indeed, as he had anticipated, Michael Cooper got straight to the point upon seeing him, instructing him to follow up on the progress and confirm the matter that Eva had discussed with him.

Upon learning that a medical team had indeed been called to treat Adrian Blackwood, David pursed his lips and, unable to contain himself, asked, "Mr. Cooper, did you do this because you're worried Ms. Hansen might misunderstand you or because he was once your friend and you can't bring yourself to be harsh with him?"

Hearing this, Michael Cooper's actions paused, and then he turned his head to look at David, his gaze turning frosty and ominous.

"Your task is to report the results of the situation to her, not to question my decisions here."

"I just want to know, Mr. Cooper, have you at any point regretted your decision?" David continued.

Michael Cooper looked at him coldly.

Now, he had completely lost his former gentle demeanor.

"Get out."

David gave him a silent look and added one last remark: "It's not too late to turn back now."

After saying that, David turned and walked away.

Michael Cooper remained alone in place, his gaze darkly fixed on a particular spot, his lips tightly pressed together, deep in thought.

A long while later, he finally rose from the darkness and slowly made his exit.

The following day, David came back to see Eva.

"I checked last night, and Mr. Cooper indeed brought in a top-tier medical team to treat Mr. Blackwood. Mr. Blackwood's condition is currently very stable."

Even though Eva didn't remember Adrian Blackwood now, hearing the news of his safety still brought her immense relief and joy.

"Really?"

So he hadn't lied to her?

David nodded: "Yes, if he remains stable for a few more days, he should be able to leave."

Something crossed Eva's mind, and she asked, "Is he willing to leave?"

David paused, then said, "Mr. Blackwood has been unconscious the whole time up to now; he hasn't woken up yet."

Hearing this, Eva finally understood that the person for whom she had come rushing to provide aid was not solely on the receiving end of her efforts. If he was conscious, surely there would have been other actions taken on his part. So it turned out that he had been unconscious all this time.

Unconscious for so long...

Eva looked up at David: "Didn't you ask the doctors about his current condition? Being unconscious for such a long time, could it mean his brain has suffered some damage?"

Upon Eva's inquiry, it was evident that David hadn't asked, so he could only reply, "If I can go there again tomorrow, I'll ask the doctors on behalf of Ms. Hansen."
