Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 332 Outside is Cold
Adrian's expression froze, and his temples twitched at her words.
But after a moment, he returned to normal, as if he had fully adjusted his negative emotions from earlier. "Are you thirsty? Shall I pour you some warm water?"
Eva stared at him expressionlessly.
After a few seconds of eye contact, Adrian stood up and proactively went to pour her a cup of warm water.
"I already tested the temperature, it's just right."
Eva glanced at the cup of water in front of her and refused, "I don't want to drink."
"You haven't eaten anything all night and you've been lying down for so long, just have some warm water to soothe your throat."
As he spoke, Adrian even proactively brought the cup of water to Eva's lips.
Eva frowned and turned her head away, "I said I don't want to drink."
Adrian maintained his original posture for a moment, then finally took back the cup, "Then do you want to eat something? What do you want to eat?"
In that moment, Eva didn't know what she was thinking. She lightly chuckled and said, "I don't want to drink water, I don't want to eat, and I especially don't want to see you. If you really feel guilty about what happened tonight and want to do something for me, then call Michael for me."
After she mentioned Michael's name, Adrian, who had been calm this whole time, instantly lost his smile and without hesitation, he immediately refused her request.
"That's impossible."
"Oh, then don't bother me, there is nothing that I want from you."
After saying this, Eva lay down on her own, but because she moved too abruptly, she accidentally touched the wound on her forehead, causing her to instinctively suck in a breath of cold air.
Adrian's eyes instantly changed after seeing this scene, standing up and nervously watching her.
"Did it touch the wound? Does it hurt?" His tone was anxious, his hand on her shoulder, completely losing the sternness from earlier.
"You don't need to worry, don't touch me." Eva pushed his hand away, gasping in pain. "You're pretending to be a good person in front of me now. If you didn't take the children away without my consent, I wouldn't have gone looking for you. If I didn't go looking for you, I wouldn't have run into them, and none of this would have happened today."
Adrian fell silent.
Indeed, she was right. If he had handled things properly, none of this would have happened today.
He hadn't protected her.
"I'm sorry." Adrian looked at her and spoke gently, "I didn't handle this well, that's why you got hurt like this. But you're still in pain now, so let's not discuss this yet. Rest for now and recover, okay?" When he said this, Adrian's tone was soft, even with a hint of caution, as if afraid that Eva would get angry.
And Eva was indeed angry just now, but after the pain subsided and with Adrian speaking to her in this submissive manner, her emotions calmed down a bit.
But she still didn't want to pay him any attention, she just didn't want to argue with him.
So, after lying down to alleviate the pain, it took a while for Eva to say, "I want some time alone to relax."
After a long silence, Adrian replied, "Alright."
Relieved to hear his agreement, Eva let out a sigh.
However, after waiting for a while, Adrian still sat there without moving. Eva frowned slightly and asked, "Why aren't you going out?"
Didn't he agree to her request to be alone?
Upon hearing this, a moment of confusion appeared on Adrian's face, and then he lowered his eyes to look at her.
"I'm here to protect you."
"I don't need you to protect me."
Adrian pursed his lips and looked at her for a moment before finally getting up and leaving.
Perhaps it was Eva's imagination, but she always felt like Adrian's gaze towards her just now seemed somewhat wronged.
Once she realized this, Eva became angry again.
What is he feeling wronged about?
She's the one who got injured, not him. What does he have to feel wronged about?
The door to the hospital room closed was closed behind him as Adrian went outside.
Eva gently turned over, the wound still slightly painful, but she turned to the side where she could see the children and watched them sleep.
The two little ones were sound asleep without any defenses, was it because they knew she was here, or because they knew that Adrian was in the room?
Because the wound on her forehead wasn't comfortable, Eva didn't bother thinking about other things. Her consciousness quickly became somewhat weak again. So, Eva half-closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
However, she didn't sleep deeply, falling in and out of consciousness.
Sometimes, her attention would turn to the person outside the hospital room, but her rationality prevented her from indulging in random thoughts.
Like this, unaware of how much time had passed, Eva listened.
The door of the hospital room was opened. The sound was very soft, and if it weren't for the quietness in the hospital, and if she wasn't awake, she would probably not have heard it. Didn't he already leave? Why did he come back again now?
Because the door was behind her, Eva couldn't see who opened it, whether it was Adrian or not.
After a while, the faint footsteps behind her finally stopped, and his gaze was fixated on her back.
Eva felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at and furrowed her brows lightly before turning her head.
Sure enough, her eyes met Adrian's dark, profound eyes.
Seeing her, Adrian's expression seemed startled, probably because he didn't expect her to still be awake.
His expression quickly revealed everything.
He probably thought he had been gone for long enough, so he wanted to come in while she was asleep, thinking she wouldn't know.
Indeed, Adrian's first words to her were, "You haven't fallen asleep?"
"What does it have to do with you whether I sleep or not? Didn't I tell you I wanted to be alone for a while? Why did you come in again?" Adrian's exquisite gaze lingered on Eva's face for a while before he lowered his eyes.
"It's cold outside."
His voice was low, and it became extremely hoarse due to his sleeplessness and the cold he endured.
This also made Eva feel somewhat guilty.
Because at this moment, Adrian was only wearing a light gray shirt. As for his coat, it was draped over the bodies of the two children.
In other words, if he hadn't given the coat to her two children, he wouldn't be cold at all.
But he did give it, and then she chased him out.
At this time, the temperature was at its lowest, and the indoor temperature was slightly warmer, but Eva didn't feel much warmth even under the blanket. Not to mention how cold it must be outside, especially when he was dressed like this.
"Just let me stay for a while. I won't make any noise or disturb you, okay?"
If he hadn't given his coat to the children when he said this, it would have been fine, but since he did, would it be inconsiderate of her to refuse his request?
