Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy!
Chapter 532 Afraid to Hear the Answer?

Learning that an additional application of medicine was allowed, Eva administered another dose to Adrian's wound before they set off.

As she unwrapped the bandage, she carefully examined Adrian's wound and found that he indeed hadn't lied; his wound had significantly improved compared to the first time she saw it. She was very satisfied with this outcome. Eva didn't notice that Adrian was observing her expressions and movements closely. Noticing that she seemed content, Adrian raised an eyebrow.

"See, I wasn't lying, right?" He said.

Eva shot him a glance and nodded in acknowledgment.

"However, you can't get complacent, and you mustn't be careless. The medicine still needs to be applied properly, and the wound must heal. What will we do if it leads to complications later on?"

Eva finished wrapping his bandage, "There, done."

"Alright, I promise you, I'll take good care of it," Adrian responded.

After tending to the wound again, they continued on their journey.

It was still early, and the road was shrouded in a light fog. After getting into the car, Adrian draped a small blanket over Eva, "We have a few hours of driving ahead. You didn't get enough sleep last night, did you? Sleep a bit more, and I'll wake you up when we arrive."

Eva initially wanted to refuse, but she did wake up early and felt a bit tired now. She nodded off quickly and fell asleep again.

When she woke up, the car had already stopped.

Eva looked at the scenery outside the window and then at Adrian, meeting his gaze.

"Are we here?" She asked.

"Yes," He replied in his deep voice, then asked, "Did you get enough sleep? Do you want to sleep some more?"

Eva realized that the driver wasn't in the car and it seemed they had arrived a while ago.

"Have we been here long? Why didn't you wake me up?"

As she spoke, Eva casually checked her phone and was surprised to find that it was already noon. According to the time they had set off, she must have slept for an additional hour in the car after it had stopped. "You slept so soundly; I didn't have the heart to wake you," Adrian said.

Eva couldn't really complain about that, so she just asked, "So you've been with me in the car the whole time?"

"Where else could I go?" Adrian gestured to his injured area. "Besides, I'm supposed to be resting, aren't I? You want me to recover."

That was true; he was injured and needed to rest.

With that said, Eva didn't have much else to say. Instead, she rubbed her eyes and patted her cheeks, feeling more refreshed. "Alright, shall we go out now?"

"Yeah, let's go eat first."

"Eat?" Eva was surprised. "Where are we?"

Eva glanced around and noticed a sign indicating that there was a restaurant upstairs.

Looking at the time, it was indeed time to have a meal, so they decided to eat first.

Eva and Adrian went from the parking lot to the elevator and entered the restaurant.

During the meal, someone accompanying them came over and whispered something in Adrian's ear.

Adrian paused.

Noticing his reaction, Eva, sensitively aware that something was up, asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing; keep eating."

"I'm done."

Adrian seemed surprised. "You're done?"

Eva nodded. "Yes, I can't eat anymore."

Adrian looked at the food on the table. Although she had eaten little, it was clear that her condition had improved from before, and her sleep had been good. Since her return to the country, her pale face had regained some color. "Alright, if you can't eat anymore, we can have more later in the evening."

After instructing the accompanying person to pay the bill, Adrian led her out of the restaurant. "We're going now, but..."

He paused, lifting his eyes to look at her, "He might not be very keen to see you."

Eva stopped in her tracks.

"Not want to see me?"

Hadn't he always wanted to keep her confined before? Why didn't he want to see her now?

Eva didn't know what his current state was. Was he free or was he locked up?

If he was locked up, then could it be...

As various speculations crossed Eva's mind, Adrian suddenly took hold of her wrist. "Alright, stop overthinking. Even if he doesn't want to see you, you can still go and see him. We'll find out whether he wants to see you when we get there." Upon arrival at the destination, Eva realized it was a very secluded spot. She was surprised that such a place could still be found in a bustling city. Although the environment was serene, she wondered who would go to such lengths to build a house near the foot of the mountains.

There wasn't a neighbor in sight, which made her question if it wouldn't feel odd to live there.

Adrian, who was by her side, seemed to read her thoughts through her expressions and eyes. As she pondered, he took the initiative to explain, "This is one of the Coopers' properties."

"The Coopers'?" Eva asked.

Adrian nodded.

Although the setting was a bit strange, Eva felt a sense of relief. She had initially thought... given the severity of Adrian's phone call last time, she feared that her next encounter with Michael might be at a detention center or... "What's wrong?"

Her thoughts seemed to be transparent to Adrian once again, "Surprised to see him here?"

"I actually thought..."

Eva hesitated for a moment and did not continue, fearing that her offhand remarks might hurt Adrian.

"Thought I'd call the police?"

Eva pursed her lips tightly.

"If I really had called the police, and he wasn't here, would you hate me?"

After asking, Adrian seemed afraid to hear her answer, so much so that he didn't wait for her to respond and quickly continued, "It's mainly because his grandfather intervened. He personally took charge of his discipline. He will be kept here for a considerable time, though it's unclear for how long."

"His grandfather?"

"Yes, Mr. Cooper Sr."

Eva hadn't expected this twist, but she still had some doubts. If Mr. Cooper Sr. could really control Michael, why hadn't he done so before? Why was he suddenly able to do so now? "Let's go."

Adrian took hold of her wrist and led her forward. As they got closer to the gate, Eva pulled on Adrian's hand.

Adrian stopped in his tracks: "What is it?"

"The question you just asked me, why are you afraid to hear the answer?"

The grip on her hand tightened a bit.

Eva looked down for a moment, then back at him, "I've already expressed my true feelings to you before, so why do you still seem to distrust me?"
