Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 483 How Long Can One Survive Without Food and Drink

This was the first time in many years, since Michael Cooper's mother's death, that David had mentioned the word "death" in front of him, and it was regarding Eva. These are the two most important women in his life.

And his mother was already dead.

If something happened to Eva...

In an instant, Michael Cooper's eyes underwent a tremendous change, his gaze piercing as he looked at David.

"What did you say?"

Facing his intimidating gaze, David remained calm.

"Mr. Cooper, without eating, surviving on IV fluids, how long do you think Ms. Hansen can last?"

Michael Cooper: "..."

"A month? I wonder if there's any research on that."

As he spoke, David even took out his phone in front of Michael Cooper, intending to look it up.

"Enough!"

Michael Cooper, finally unable to tolerate any more, stopped him and walked away angrily.

David remained in place, looking indifferently at Michael Cooper storming off before slowly putting away his phone.

Clearly, advising was useless for Michael Cooper now.

What he could do was to amplify the potential consequences of future events to Michael Cooper, even though it might have been a jolt to use the death of Michael's mother as a trigger.

But he truly had no other option now; this was far better than regretting if something indeed happened to Ms. Hansen later on.

Once a person dies, there is no bringing them back to life.

Michael Cooper spent nearly eight hours alone in his study, and there was no response when he was called for a meal.

Concerned, the attendants specifically came to ask David about it.

David said, "When Mr. Cooper is in a bad mood, he likes to be alone. Don't disturb him."

Hearing this, the attendants naturally stopped worrying about why Michael Cooper was still in his study; after all, missing one meal wouldn't kill anyone.

Their real concern was another person.

That person wasn't just refusing to eat, but seemed to vomit whenever she tried. Although this was Ms. Hansen's own issue, their employer would not see it that way. He would think that they were failing in their tasks, unable to make food that Eva liked to eat.

So, they were extremely troubled.

Unfortunately, their struggle was futile. No matter how hard they tried to make delicious food, she still couldn't eat it.

Thus, many attendants knew it wasn't Eva's fault, but they still blamed her.

Who else could they blame when she was seen as the source of the problem?

Jane was nearly furious when she found out, and couldn't resist venting to David upon her return. As Jane complained, David didn't react much, just listening quietly. When Jane realized she had said too much and that David wasn't paying attention, she couldn't help but ask, "David, have you heard what I've been saying?" David seemed lost in thought and didn't respond.

"David, David!"

Jane called his name several times before he finally snapped back to reality.

"Sorry, I was a bit distracted just now. Did you need something?"

Jane: "..."

She was speechless, truly.

Thinking about how her whole rant had just been a pointless performance, she had no energy left to repeat herself.

So, Jane could only shake her head.

"Forget it, it's nothing. What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"

What was he thinking about? The question made David lightly tug at the corner of his mouth, "Perhaps I was thinking about when Ms. Hansen might leave." "Ms. Hansen leave?"

Before David mentioned it, Jane had never considered this possibility. Before she came to take care of Eva, she didn't know the whole story, so she always assumed that Eva and Michael Cooper were at least affectionate towards each other for her to stay here.

However, upon closer observation, she realized things might not be as they seemed on the surface. It appeared Ms. Hansen stayed out of necessity rather than choice.

And she didn't love Michael Cooper.

Even though Eva stayed, her mental state became problematic. But despite this, Jane had never thought about her leaving, probably subconsciously feeling that Michael Cooper wouldn't let her go.

Now that David brought it up, Jane started to realize that maybe Ms. Hansen could leave. Maybe if she left, her diseases could be treated?

Thinking this, Jane felt she had added another task to her list.

Originally, her task was simply to persuade Michael Cooper to find Eva a psychologist, but now she had another: to convince Michael Cooper to let Eva leave.

As she thought this, David, as if seeing into her inner thoughts, suddenly said, "Don't assume you can persuade Mr. Cooper by yourself; it might backfire." Startled by his words, Jane hadn't expected him to discern what she was thinking.

But David was right. She was just an attendant, after all. It was better to stick to her own duties to avoid any counterproductive outcomes that could harm Eva. Hmm, what she should do was to console Eva more.

If Michael Cooper wouldn't get Eva a psychologist, then she could seek online consultation for Ms. Hansen.

"I understand, David. I'll go then."

"Go ahead."

When Jane returned to the room, she found Eva was still asleep. As she made sure the blanket was properly covering her, she took out her phone to seek online consultation.

Mental health issues among young people were common nowadays. Not long after graduating, Jane heard that a classmate, overwhelmed by stress, had developed depression and even considered suicide. The news had unsettled everyone in their social circle.

Worried about her own mental health, Jane proactively obtained contact information for a psychologist just in case it would be needed someday. She had been managing her mood quite well on her own and hadn't felt the need to greet the psychologist until today, when the situation with Eva arose.

After greeting the psychologist and explaining Eva's current condition, the prompt reply suggested that Jane bring Eva for an in-person consultation.

Jane immediately felt awkward; the psychologist she had contacted was based in her home country, while they were currently abroad. An in-person visit was out of the question.

She quickly explained their location to the psychologist. Understanding the predicament, the psychologist agreed that they should communicate online for now and, if necessary, arrange an in-person consultation or find another local psychologist later.

Jane began detailing Eva's symptoms to the psychologist when she heard footsteps outside. Startled, she quickly hid her phone, not wanting to be discovered.

Michael Cooper, who had spent a long time alone in his study, walked in expressionless.

Upon seeing Jane standing guard, he asked, "How is she?"

Jane hesitated before responding, "Ms. Hansen has been sleeping."

Michael Cooper's gaze fell upon Eva's fair face, and finally, he said, "Go and get a psychologist."
