Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 476 I'm So Worried About Her
So, when Michael pointed it out, Eva reflected seriously and realized that she indeed hadn't been eating much. The medicine he encouraged her to take was justified.
Yet, when Eva looked at the pills in the palm of his hand, she ultimately shook her head.
"I don't want to take them."
"Eva, can you please just listen?" Michael's voice carried a touch of helplessness, and he let out a gentle sigh.
"If you're worried about the taste, should I bring some sugar?"
"It's not necessary," Eva replied with a frown.
She wasn't adverse to the bitterness, it was just a few pills that she could easily swallow in one gulp. She simply didn't feel unwell, so why the insistence on medication?
"Are the pills too big? Should I break them in half for you?"
Eva didn't respond.
Seeing his concerned face filled with suggestions only for her, Eva realized that if she didn't take these two pills, he'd probably keep on about it until she did just to put his mind at ease. "Alright, I'll take them."
Eva picked up the pills from his hand and swallowed them down with some warm water.
"Are you satisfied now? Can I go rest?"
As Michael watched her, he couldn't help but gently tousle her hair and whispered, "Goodnight, Eva."
The next day
At breakfast, Eva asked Michael, "When do you plan to let him go?"
"Soon," Michael replied. "In a day or two."
Eva nodded without further conversation, quietly continuing to eat.
Michael watched her carefully and saw her appetite didn't improve; in fact, it decreased. She put her spoon down early.
He pursed his lips, suppressing the unease rising in his chest, and called her back to the table before taking out the prepared pills. "Today's dosage."
Eva noticed that there were fewer pills than yesterday, the nighttime aid for sleeping was missing since it was now daytime. Michael watched her in silence.
The medication from yesterday showed no effect; was it ineffective, or was it not addressing the right issue?
What was the crux of her trouble?
Michael Cooper pressed his lips together, a thin line of contemplation.
He should have known. After all, the thing she'd been obsessed with lately was ensuring that certain someone's safe departure.
Would her anxieties unravel at the news of his safe exit?
It seemed the only course of action was to give it a shot.
So, Michael Cooper had no choice but to instruct his men to expedite Adrian's departure.
When Eva heard the news, she was genuinely taken aback. She had assumed there would be further delays, torturing herself over what to say to hasten the process. But as it turned out, he sped things up before she even had a chance to speak.
"Why he suddenly decided to move faster?" Eva couldn't figure it out, so she turned to David with her question.
David shook his head.
"Mr. Cooper's thoughts are beyond my guessing," he admitted.
He could perhaps guess a bit; ever since Michael Cooper had him come over to deliver this message to Eva, he had some suspicions.
But what he guessed might not necessarily be correct.
Furthermore, in case he spoke up and Eva used it as leverage, threatening to harm herself to get at Michael Cooper, it wouldn't benefit Ms. Hansen in any way.
After much thought, David could only claim ignorance.
"Weird." Eva could only prop her chin in her hands, voicing her confusion: "Could it be that he's suddenly had a change his mind? If I go now and ask him to let me leave with him, would he agree?" David remained silent.
"Never mind, it's never that simple. He wouldn't agree; it's clear he has his reasons for rushing Adrian Blackwood's departure," she concluded.
Subconsciously, Eva felt that's just the kind of man Michael Cooper was.
David listened to her mutterings without comment.
Two days later, David delivered the news to Eva that Adrian Blackwood had safely left.
Her response was an authentic, joyful smile.
"He's finally gone, then? Did his people take over?"
David nodded. "Yes, they've taken over, and he's left safely."
"Has he not woken up yet?"
"No, he's still unconscious. It'll take time for him to come around."
Eva bit her lower lip, "It's been so long already and he's still out of it. Are you sure he's okay?"
"Don't worry, Ms. Hansen. There shouldn't be any problems. And if there are any, his people will take care of them once they have him."
Indeed, Adrian's been taken back by his own people; there is no doubt that they will provide Adrian with the best of everything.
"Will we be able to get any updates on him?" she asked.
Having parted ways, she wasn't sure whether she would still be able to find out about him.
To her question, David did not respond. After all, they would be far apart from then on, and with the relationship between Adrian Blackwood and Michael Cooper being far from cordial, it was unlikely that either side would continue to seek out information about the other.
Besides, even if he managed to dig up some information, Michael Cooper wouldn't let his whereabouts slip back into Eva's life again.
In the future, he feared that Eva would have to erase Adrian from her life, along with those two children...
Just the thought made David's heart ache for Eva.
After Michael Cooper asked David to share the news with Eva and heard that she beamed with joy, he felt bittersweet. But knowing that it might help her to overcome her emotional barriers, he found some solace. Immediately, he had the kitchen prepare some delicious food to be sent to Eva's room.
Her medication continued as well, and though it hadn't taken effect over the past few days, her appetite should gradually improve once her emotional distress eased.
Michael Cooper looked forward to the days when she would get better.
Even though she still did not like him now, with time spent by his side, she would grow accustomed to his presence.
As for her memory, it would be fine if she forgot everything for life. And if she remembered, that would not matter either. When the time came, even with her memories intact, there would be no turning back for her. In his contemplation, the attendants returned.
"Mr. Cooper."
Seeing their troubled faces, Michael Cooper's expression grew stern.
"What's wrong?"
"Mr. Cooper, Ms. Hansen has refused everything you instructed us to make for her."
"Refused?"
His face darkened incrementally, "Did she eat anything at all?"
"Nothing, sir."
"I'll go check on her."
Michael Cooper stood up and headed straight for Eva's room.
At that moment, Jane was anxiously waiting outside the door. "Mr. Cooper."
"Why don't you go in and stay with her?"
Jane looked like she was crying, "Ms. Hanson is sleeping."
Michael Cooper narrowed his eyes and scrutinized her, "She's sleeping, why the tears?"
"Mr. Cooper, Ms. Hansen hasn't been eating properly for the past few days. She's been sleeping and I..... I'm really worried about her."
