Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 386 Unreliable
Until she boarded the plane, Emily had not been able to reach Adrian on the phone.
"This is unbelievable. How could Eva like such a man? And he even made me tell him that I saw her with Michael. At least Michael would answer the phone." Emily lamented. In this dangerous situation, Emily's mood became even more volatile. During the unsuccessful phone calls with Adrian, since he didn't answer, Emily could only curse him and even feel sorry for Eva.
Nathan, who had worked with her for many years, had never seen her in such a state.
"Can you calm down? There might be a reason why he didn't answer the call." Nathan said.
"What reason? The phone has been ringing so many times, and nobody picked up. Even if he's busy, he should at least answer a phone call. This kind of man is unreliable. No matter what his reasons are, I must advise Eva when I see her." Emily replied.
Nathan's thin lips twitched, wanting to say something, but he refrained.
At this moment, anything he said seemed futile. After all, it was her close friend who was in danger, and he couldn't truly understand her feelings, no matter how empathetic he was. Deep down, he agreed with what Emily said. When someone you want to ask for help in a critical moment is unable to assist you at all, one would naturally feel disappointed, especially in such an important moment.
Before the plane took off, a flight attendant walked by and reminded everyone to turn off their phones.
Emily, still unwilling to give up, made another call, but Adrian still didn't answer. However, thinking about what Eva asked her to do, Emily finally typed up a text message and sent it to him.
After confirming that the message had been sent, Emily turned off her phone.
Nathan glanced at her. "Still no answer?"
"Yeah, nothing." Emily replied expressionlessly. "I've sent a message, and the flight will take a long time. When we land, he should be awake by then."
Although she was very dissatisfied with Adrian, this was something Eva had asked her to do, and since she had promised, she had to follow through.
After hanging up the phone, Eva quickly removed the SIM card and flushed it down the toilet, then switched back to her original SIM card. She had originally intended to log back into WhatsApp, but after some consideration, she decided against it.
Logging back in would trigger a notification, and it would be too suspicious. It was better to leave it as it is.
After completing everything, Eva placed her phone on the shelf and took a serious shower.
Her top priority now was to prolong her stay here and delay the move for others to be able to replace and rescue her.
How could she discreetly delay time without arousing Michael's suspicion?
Eva looked around and her gaze fell on the bathtub next to her.
Michael had given her quite a bit of time to shower.
He took a little longer to get the clothes. By the time he came and knocked on the door, Eva had already filled the bathtub halfway and she went straight in to soak. Then she said from inside, "I'm taking a bath, it's inconvenient for me to get it, can you hang it outside the door for me?"
There was a brief silence at the door, then a voice came.
"Okay, I'll replace a bag to hang it in."
Michael walked away again, and later he hung the clothes on the door for Eva and added, "Eva, the water temperature should not be too hot, and you shouldn't be in for too long, otherwise it may make you ill."
Hearing this, Eva sneered, "Wouldn't you be happy if I suffocate from soaking? Finally, you can have some peace."
Silence fell at the door, and Michael didn't speak again. He left.
Eva finally breathed a sigh of relief after he left.
There are now two possibilities.
One is that Michael still doesn't know about the SIM card issue, probably thinking that she is deliberately making things difficult for him, until he sends her back to her country.
The other is that Michael already knows about the SIM card issue, but he hesitates to enter the bathroom directly since she's in there. After all, he is outside and even if he doesn't believe her or what she said about taking a bath, he doesn't dare to rush in.
Although he had pursued her for five years, he had never crossed any boundaries. In that regard, Michael had respected her a lot.
Two people who had always respected each other, why did it end up like this?
At this thought, Eva couldn't help but bury her face in the water, trying to clear her mind.
She had been extremely tense all day until she contacted Emily, and only then was her heart finally at ease.
Next, there might be a tough battle ahead.
To buy some time, Eva stayed in the bath until the water temperature eventually turned cold, and still, she didn't get up.
There was still no sound outside, and she didn't know where Michael had gone after leaving the other side of the bathroom door. Did he go outside the room, or...?
Suddenly, Eva's expression changed as she remembered something.
She had forgotten that while she was busy with all these operations, the two children were still asleep in the room.
Thinking of this, Eva didn't linger any longer. She got up, wiped off the water droplets on her body with a towel, and then opened the door to bring in the bag at the door.
When she saw the intimate clothes in the bag, Eva felt a little awkward.
But then she thought, it's already gotten to this point, why should she feel embarrassed?
He had already imprisoned her, and she had no idea what would happen if this continued. Although he had always respected her in the past, Eva couldn't have predicted that he would do something like this, but he did. Therefore, anything could happen from now on.
After dressing, Eva opened the door and saw Michael standing not far from the bathroom.
Hearing the sound, he turned and walked up to Eva.
"Why are you still here?" Eva stared at him and asked somewhat displeased.
"I was afraid you... You've been soaking for so long, it could cause oxygen deficiency. I was worried." he said as he handed her a towel. "Dry your hair, otherwise you'll catch a cold."
Eva glanced at the towel in his hand and walked past him without a word. Michael furrowed his brows and followed her.
Seeing her heading towards the room, he asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm tired. Can't I sleep?"
"Eva, dry your hair."
Eva opened the door and abruptly blocked Michael from entering, and then she shut it with a bang. The two children inside the room continued sleeping undisturbed by the noise. Despite Eva's commotion, the two children were sound asleep. Eva looked at their peaceful faces and felt a bit angry.
Although these two little ones usually had good sleep, it was rare for them to be so deep in their slumber. It was all because Michael had given them something to make them sleep.
How could he be so thoughtless? They were still so young, wasn't he afraid he might accidentally hurt them?
The more she thought about it, the angrier Eva became. But there was nothing she could do at the moment, so she gently touched the children's cheeks and whispered, "Don't worry, my darlings. I will definitely take you back to our home country safely."
