Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 373 Was I deceived by her or by you?
Vivian was caught off guard by his question and stood there in a daze, looking at him.
It took her a while to realize what he meant.
Could it be that Adrian already knew she had falsely claimed credit for saving him?
No, that couldn't be possible.
When he was saved, he was unconscious, and Eva had lost her memory of that incident. He couldn't have known about this, unless Eva regained her memory.
But it had been so many years already, if Eva had indeed regained her memory, why didn't she come to confront her sooner? She would have immediately notified the whole world that she had saved Adrian, right?
After coming to this conclusion, Vivian thought that maybe she was just being oversensitive and suspicious because of the dream she had. Adrian's questions now were actually a good opportunity for her. She just needed to paint herself as more miserable, and he would surely feel pity for her.
Then, she could take the opportunity to ask him to marry her.
If that didn't work, she could even use the threat of taking her life to force him. After all, they were in a hospital, and if something happened, the medical staff would be able to save her in time. She would be fine.
So, Vivian quickly made up her mind. As long as she portrayed herself as pitiful enough, Adrian would definitely remember her saving his life.
Once he was entangled in this matter once more, she could use it to her advantage and ask him to marry her.
With this in mind, Vivian started making up a story right in front of Adrian.
"At that time, I was actually about to lose all my strength, but it was because the desire to save you was so strong. I didn't want us to die in the river together. If we died in the river, we would have had no chance for anything in the future. It was this feeling that pushed me to get you ashore."
After hearing her account, Adrian's expression remained indifferent, as if her description of the events didn't affect him.
"Then, how did you get ashore afterwards?"
"After I helped you onto the shore, I climbed up myself." Vivian hadn't actually gone into the river or experienced what happened back then, but after imagining it, she described the process.
After Eva saved Adrian, she must have climbed up by herself.
Vivian continued as requested. Adrian tugged at his lips and asked, "So, let me get this straight. You're saying that after rescuing me when you were already weak, you managed to get yourself out of the water as well." Vivian didn't think much of his words and nodded.
But in the next moment, Adrian coldly stated, "You're lying."
Hearing this, Vivian's face changed, and she asked, "What? Did I... did I lie? Don't you trust me?"
"How could you have gotten me out of the water all by yourself in such a critical situation?" Adrian questioned.
"I... I put in a lot of effort to get you out. Is there a problem?" Vivian replied.
Adrian immediately seized her hand and said, "If you really put in that much effort to save me, then why isn't your arm injured from the friction against the shore? You hurt your wrist, not your arm."
To make her rescue appear more authentic, Vivian had used a stone to cut her own wrist.
Adrian sneered, "The injury on your wrist was caused by a stone, right? Not too stupid of you to create a wound yourself."
Vivian widened her eyes and asked, "I... did someone else tell you something false?"
Adrian smirked and didn't answer her directly, saying instead, "What do you think?"
This response made Vivian truly panic. She initially thought he had asked about the incident because he wanted to hear her account of what happened, but now... The thought of him knowing the truth filled her with fear about what her fate would be.
Vivian immediately became agitated, speaking incoherently, "Adrian, I really did save you. Don't believe what Eva is saying. She just wants your sympathy and wishes for you to leave me."
In her words, Adrian finally obtained the crucial piece of information he wanted.
He narrowed his eyes dangerously and spoke in an extremely cold voice, "Did I mention anyone had said anything?"
Vivian was completely stunned.
"There were more than just you and me at the shore at that time. Why would you think Eva said something? If she wasn't present, does it matter what she said?" Adrian's tone suddenly became sharp. "Or is it that there was a third person present at the scene?"
"No! There wasn't!" Vivian frantically shook her head, avoiding Adrian's gaze. "I don't know what you're talking about, but it was just the two of us there. I was the one who saved you."
"As for why I mentioned Eva, it's because you went to see her last night, right? Yes, it's true. You went to see her last night, didn't you? That's why your attitude towards me changed when you came back today. Adrian, I drugged you in a despicable manner last night, but it was because I was afraid of losing you to Eva. I made a desperate choice, but you can't deny that I saved you back then because of this recent incident."
"Adrian, don't be fooled by Eva. She must be tricking you because of what happened last night. She is trying to frame me, right?"
She desperately tried to approach Adrian, but he stood up and kept his distance from her. Adrian's cold and apathetic expression made Vivian realize that he didn't want to hear anything more from her. She was left standing there, motionless. His demeanor reminded her of when he questioned her about the text messages.
Vivian couldn't believe that she had fallen for his deception, even though she had already been fooled by him before.
She shouldn't have mentioned Eva. She felt foolish.
Little did she know what would come next. Adrian dropped a bombshell sentence at that moment.
"Stop pretending. She regained her memory."
What?
Regained her memory?
Who regained their memory? Eva?
Vivian's eyes widened and she was momentarily unable to react.
Adrian took two steps forward, his gaze as cold as frost.
"Stealing credit earned by someone else saving my life, deceiving me for over a decade. Vivian, is there anyone more despicable than you in this world?"
"No, I didn't do it. Eva is deceiving you."
Adrian's voice turned harsh, "Did she deceive me, or did you deceive me?"
Vivian stood still, looking at him for a long time before suddenly bursting into laughter.
"Yes, there were indeed more than just the two of us by the riverside that day. But, so what? So what if Eva was there? It was me who tirelessly rescued you from the river. Just because she was there, does it mean that she saved you?" Adrian said, "So you finally admit it."
"What do I have to fear? After all these years, how could she suddenly regain her memory? Didn't you replace anything suspicious about what she said? Or do you believe everything she says? If that's the case, why did you come looking for me?"
