Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 264 Something's Off
They were supposed to go to the hospital, but Eva woke up before the car even reached it.
When she regained consciousness, she found herself lying in the car, with the air conditioning turned up high. However, Jacob in the front seat still had wet clothes on and was beginning to sneeze, constantly sniffing. She was confused for a few seconds, then reached out and touched her own head, only to meet a pair of calm eyes.
Adrian was sitting quietly in the corner of the back seat, watching her.
Then she realized that she had taken up all the space in the back, which was why Adrian was sitting in the corner.
She tried to sit up but felt a bit dizzy, so she decided to stay lying down.
Jacob in the front seat sneezed a few more times.
Unaware that Eva had awakened, he rubbed his nose after sneezing and turned to Adrian, asking, "Mr. Blackwood, your back must be soaked too. How come you're not sneezing?"
Upon hearing Jacob's words, Eva froze for a moment. She could infer from Jacob's words what had happened after she fainted.
It was raining at the time, and both she and Jacob had gotten wet. She had been lying here without noticing anything strange. Her clothes were dry, and she had been well protected.
There was no need to think about it - it was clear who did all this.
Just a moment ago, they had been arguing, and the next second, she had collapsed, and he had helped her. Eva felt unsettled.
"Mr. Blackwood, we're almost at the hospital," the driver suddenly reminded them.
Upon hearing this, Eva was taken aback, realizing that after she fainted, they must have been taking her to the hospital. Jacob in the front seat also realized something and leaned forward to look at Eva, only to meet her cold, beautiful eyes. He was stunned.
"Ms. Hansen, you're awake?" Eva glanced at him indifferently. "Yeah, we don't need to go to the hospital. Let's go back to the hotel."
Jacob was still wet and needed to go back to the hotel to change his clothes.
Both of them had ended up like this because they wanted to help her. If they caught a cold because of this incident, she would feel guilty for no reason. Probably caught off guard by Eva waking up at this moment, Jacob couldn't decide for himself and could only look at Adrian.
"Mr. Blackwood?"
The driver was also not someone who would act without authorization, so he parked the car by the side of the road and waited for new instructions. However, Adrian's gaze had never left Eva's body. After a long silence, he finally said, "Then let's go back."
After returning to the hotel, everyone went back to their rooms. Jacob immediately went back to change his clothes due to the cold, but when he finished changing and came out, he found Adrian sitting motionless on the sofa. "Mr. Blackwood, aren't you going to change your clothes?"
Adrian glanced at him but remained silent.
"Your clothes are wet too. You should take them off quickly." Jacob walked up and tried to help Adrian with his clothes.
Who knew that Adrian was still sitting there, motionless, and Jacob knew that his problem was probably acting up again.
"Mr. Blackwood, you're not really neglecting your health at this time, are you? It's winter, and you're already sick. Your stomach problem alone is enough to torment you. If you catch a cold and get a fever, you'll have to go to the hospital." Adrian finally looked up and met Jacob's gaze. "Going to the hospital isn't that bad, is it?"
Hearing this, Jacob frowned. "Going to the hospital isn't a good thing, Mr. Blackwood. You're pretending to be sick, not actually sick. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to handle it. Trust me, change your wet clothes. Ms. Hansen woke up in the car just now, and she already knows that we got soaked in the rain for her. It won't hinder your act of being sick if you change into dry clothes now."
Seeing Adrian still sitting there without moving, Jacob had to resort to a stern tone. "If you don't take off your wet clothes, Ms. Hansen will know when she sees you later that you did it on purpose, won't she?"
"You have a point." Adrian was finally convinced by Jacob's words and got up to take off his coat and wet clothes.
After changing into dry clothes, Adrian indeed felt instantly more comfortable. At this moment, Jacob's phone rang.
Just as he took out his phone, Adrian asked, "What did she tell you?"
Jacob didn't even have a chance to read the message yet.
After reading it, Jacob said, "Ms. Hansen said she's not feeling well and wants to take a nap, so she won't have lunch with us."
"Not feeling well?" Adrian furrowed his brows. "Ask her where she's not feeling well."
After all, she had just fainted earlier, so it was really worrying to hear that she wasn't feeling well now.
However, Jacob hesitated and held his phone, considering Adrian's gaze.
"Mr. Blackwood, why don't you use your own phone to call?"
Upon hearing this, Jacob felt a chilling gaze from Adrian, sending shivers down his spine. With a reluctant courage, he dialed Eva's number. After a short while, Eva answered the phone directly. "What's up?"
"Ms. Hansen, I..." Jacob didn't even finish his sentence when Adrian took the phone from him.
"Where are you not feeling well?"
The cold voice transmitted to Eva's ears through the phone, causing her to grip the phone tightly and say in a low voice, "I'm tired, does that count?"
Adrian furrowed his brows. It was obvious that this answer was just an excuse.
So Eva said again, "I want to sleep. Anything else?"
Her annoyance with him was especially evident.
Adrian pursed his lips. "Where does it hurt? If you're not feeling well, go to the hospital."
Eva replied, "...I'm just tired. I want to sleep."
After speaking, she hung up Adrian's phone directly.
Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, Adrian's expression became even more unpleasant.
Upon seeing this, Jacob quickly approached to retrieve his phone, fearing that Adrian would get angry and smash it later.
"Mr. Blackwood, let Ms. Hansen sleep if she wants to. Maybe she didn't sleep well last night."
Adrian didn't say anything further and went back into the bedroom.
By noon, Jacob directly ordered food over the phone to be delivered.
Adrian's meal was still a bowl of cream of mushroom soup.
His stomach could only handle such things for now.
Jacob had ordered a bunch of food for himself.
Eva wasn't around, and Adrian seemed to have little appetite. After drinking half a bowl of porridge, he put the bowl down and asked Jacob, "How long has she been sleeping since I came back this morning?" Jacob calculated the time. "About two hours, I guess. Why?"
Two hours... The estimated time should be about right, right?
Adrian instructed, "Order food for her room."
"But Ms. Hansen..."
"Can't she eat before sleeping?"
"Alright." Jacob dared not say anything and could only make the food order call.
After about twenty minutes, the hotel staff delivered the food, and the two of them went to the door to listen for any movement.
However, the doorbell rang for a while, and no one came to open the door.
Adrian felt something was wrong and opened the door directly.
"What's the matter?"
