Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 256 This is a Deal
Adrian was cold throughout the afternoon due to Eva's short and concise words.
It wasn't until the evening, when it was completely dark outside, that Eva finally arrived.
Adrian sat on the hospital bed, full of resentment. When he saw Eva sitting in front of him, he spoke coldly, "Why did it take you so long to come?" Eva didn't react much to his words and just gave him a faint glance, saying, "Doesn't traveling back and forth take time? Doesn't cooking take time?" These two questions silenced Adrian, leaving him unable to utter a word.
When Eva put the food in his hands, Adrian said in a deep voice, "Actually, you didn't have to come all the way here. You didn't have to cook for me." Eva replied, "Do you think I wanted to?"
Adrian's expression changed slightly. "Then why did you?"
Eva didn't answer his question but simply got up to tidy things. Though she faced away from him, it was as if she had eyes on her back as she reminded him, "You'd better eat quickly. It took me a long time." Adrian silently finished the food she had prepared.
Afterward, Eva came to collect the dishes and emotionlessly said, "I'll come tomorrow."
Before Adrian could reply, she left. It seems like she had made a decision that day.
Adrian said, "So that's the deal? You take care of me, and I take you to see my grandmother?"
Eva nodded, her eyes fixed on Adrian's. Eva not only came to see him, but even brought him cooked meals. Having persisted for so long, he thought she had suddenly changed, but it turned out that she had long planned her own objectives. Adrian suddenly asked, "If it weren't for your grandmother's situation, would you have cooked these meals for the past few days at all?"
Eva calmly looked at him. "You've eaten, and your health has improved. There's no need to go into these details."
Adrian sneered. "In your eyes, what kind of person am I? You wanted to visit your grandmother, didn't you think I wouldn't agree?"
Eva lowered her eyes. "How can I be sure you wouldn't reject me?"
When she passed away, she couldn't be by her side, but after all these years, couldn't she go and see her at her grave?
Adrian became somewhat irritable. Just the thought of everything she had done for him these past few days, only to fulfill a transaction, it made his heart feel suffocated. Little did he know...
With that in mind, Adrian closed his eyes in frustration.
No wonder she suddenly came every morning and evening but didn't say a word to him.
After pondering for a moment, Adrian made a decision. "Go and help me with the discharge procedures. I'll take you there this afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Eva remained motionless.
As Adrian didn't hear a response, he raised his eyelids and looked at her, his deep eyes calm and steady. "What, are you telling me you're not available this afternoon?"
Eva replied, "Of course not. Even if I'm busy, I will make time. When and where should we meet?"
Adrian's heart grew even colder. She only cared about where they would meet, not realizing that today wasn't his scheduled day of discharge.
If it weren't for his grandmother's situation, he might have died these past few days, and she wouldn't have spared him even a glance.
After understanding this, Adrian felt his heart turning to ashes. "You decide."
He wearily lied back on the hospital bed, looking as if he didn't want to speak anymore.
Eva noticed his change in mood, but what of it? She had already done enough to help him recently, and he was an adult.
If he himself didn't cherish his life, why should others do it for him?
She no longer belonged to him now.
"Well, after you're discharged, will you return to the hotel? I'll wait for you downstairs," Eva said.
After speaking, Adrian didn't respond.
Eva knew he was in a mood and didn't want to stay any longer to say more. She decisively ended the conversation. "I'll come replace you in the afternoon. I have other things to attend to at my company. I'll leave first." After she left, Jacob stayed in place, not daring to speak or move.
He had heard every word of their conversation just now.
How awkward.
"Why are you still standing there?" Adrian's voice came coldly. "Go process the discharge formalities."
