Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 248 Spitting Blood Again
Indeed, Eva could not deny this point. Then, she thought of someone who was still lying in a hospital bed at this moment.
But soon, this vague thought was dismissed from Eva's mind. She couldn't think about him anymore. After struggling for five years, as soon as she returned to her home country, all her thoughts were disrupted by him. She had to follow her
own path.
Her phone rang and Eva took it out to look. "It's Henry."
"Mr. Davis? Why is he calling you? Could it be that he also wants..."
"It's not that serious. Let me take it." Tim nodded and left. "Mr. Davis?"
Since leaving his company that day, Eva and he hadn't spoken again. Knowing that he wouldn't invest in her company anymore, Eva felt there was no need to waste more time.
But if she wanted to develop in Chicago, she didn't want to have a falling out with Henry either.
"Ms. Hansen, how has your company been these past few days? I apologize for what happened that day."
"No problem."
"Although I can't invest directly in your company anymore, if you need it, I can have my team advertise for your company. Would that also be effective? What do you think?"
Having the advertising done by someone from the Davis Group should be effective as well. Eva felt grateful and thanked him, saying, "Mr. Davis, that's very kind of you, thank you. However, the matter with our company has already been resolved."
"Resolved?" Upon hearing that the investment issue with their company had been resolved, Henry seemed surprised, "How was it resolved? Which company?"
Eva pondered for a moment and finally decided to tell him. "It's the Blackwood Group."
Henry said, "...I thought he could hold on, but he surrendered so quickly?"
Eva remained silent in response to his remark.
However, Henry didn't stop talking and continued, "He went through great lengths to pursue you."
Eva was speechless for a moment, then corrected him, "Mr. Davis, be cautious with your words. We are just cooperating."
"Do you think he just wants to cooperate with you? Why don't you like him?"
Before she could answer, Henry playfully interrupted, "If you're not interested in him anymore, how about I pursue you? Just kidding, I wouldn't dare touch his woman."
Eva reiterated, "Once again, I have no relationship with him. If we must speak of a connection, it is solely a working relationship. Mr. Davis, I respect you and hope you respect me."
Her voice and tone suddenly became solemn, and Henry knew he had said something wrong, quickly apologizing.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. If that's the case, I will definitely take note next time."
After hanging up the phone, Eva realized her emotions were fluctuating greatly.
She took a deep breath, but before she could calm herself down, her phone rang again.
Seeing the caller ID, Eva's anger surged instantly. Without waiting for the other person to speak, she retorted, "Jacob, can you please stop harassing me? Whether Mr. Blackwood wants to have dinner or not..." "Ms. Hansen, Mr. Blackwood passed out."
On the other end of the phone, Jacob's panicked voice came through, "He even coughed up blood just now."
The words "coughed up blood" made Eva freeze in place.
When Eva arrived at the hospital, she overheard a doctor saying to Jacob, "If he continues to refuse treatment and rest, then there is nothing more I can do."
"Doctor, I am truly sorry. I will explain everything clearly to Mr. Blackwood when he wakes up."
The doctor, feeling ignored by Adrian's disregard for life, became somewhat disrespectful in his speech.
"If you want to die, you shouldn't come to the hospital, nor should you come looking for me."
Under his reprimand, Jacob didn't dare say anything and could only weakly agree.
Eva watched from the side and could tell from the doctor's reaction that Adrian's condition must be particularly serious this time.
Afterwards, the doctor said something to Jacob and then left without another word.
Jacob, looking dejected like an abandoned puppy, leaned against the wall with his head hanging low, appearing very dispirited.
After a moment of silence, Eva approached him.
Hearing the movement, Jacob lifted his head, and Eva noticed that the eyes of this grown man were red.
She wasn't sure if it was because of the doctor's harsh words or because he was worried about Adrian.
Upon seeing her, Jacob quickly turned his back, realizing what he had done. Observing the situation, Eva remained silent, standing there patiently, waiting for him to collect himself. After about two minutes, Jacob turned to face her. "Ms. Hansen."
Seeing that he had regained his composure, Eva nodded at him and then gently patted his shoulder to reassure him. "Where is he now?"
"Just rescued," Jacob replied, his voice choked up as he mentioned it.
Hearing this, Eva fell silent, not knowing what to say.
After a while, she finally spoke up, "Take me to him."
"Okay."
As Jacob led her to the ward, he kept expressing his gratitude, "Thank you, Ms. Hansen, thank you for coming. I really didn't know what to do without you."
Listening to his words, Eva couldn't hold back anymore.
"Can't you call his family as well? What about his relatives?" she asked.
She originally wanted to say Vivian, but she felt hesitant to directly mention her name, so she used the term "relatives" as a substitute.
Jacob responded in disagreement, "Ms. Hansen, this situation has happened before. If Mr. Blackwood had been willing to listen to his family, it wouldn't have escalated to this point today." Not willing to listen to his family?
"Does it mean it's useless no matter who says it?"
"Yes, it's useless no matter who says it. I'm also frustrated." Jacob admitted.
To be honest, Eva found it hard to believe. In the past, Jacob had valued Vivian so much. How could he not even listen to her now?
If there came a day when he wouldn't even listen to Vivian, what use would her words be?
Eva didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer and could only ask some other questions related to his condition.
"How long has he had this stomach illness?"
"For a long time."
"He hasn't been taking medication or seeking treatment all this time?"
"Not exactly, Mr. Blackwood occasionally takes medication, but he rarely eats. I feel like he's not just uninterested in food, but has lost his appetite entirely." Hearing this, Eva paused. "Anorexia?"
"Not diagnosed with anorexia, as there are times when he does feel interested or has an appetite and eats something."
Upon hearing this, Eva understood Adrian's situation to some extent.
"How long has he been like this?"
Jacob scratched his head, seemingly contemplating, "Around three years? I'm not entirely sure. It seemed to worsen only after Granny Blackwood passed away."
Upon hearing this, Eva, who had been walking steadily, abruptly halted, raising her head in disbelief as she looked at him, her voice trembling, "What did you just say?"
