Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 387 Madness
After drying her hair, Eva lay down to rest. The effects of the medicine hadn't completely worn off, so she quickly fell asleep. When she woke up, she heard faint voices coming from outside.
"Mr. Cooper, has Ms. Hansen not woken up yet? Our car is ready. We need to leave."
Michael glanced at the closed door and pursed his thin lips. "She's tired. Let her sleep."
"But Mr. Cooper..." David seemed hesitant.
Michael's voice suddenly turned cold. "I said let her sleep. Don't you understand? Do I need to repeat myself?"
He erupted in anger unexpectedly, taking David by surprise. David didn't dare speak any further and could only nod. "Understood."
David exchanged a few words with the people outside and stayed there to keep watch.
In fact, he wanted to remind Michael that they had been in this place for too long and that Ms. Hansen had already met other people. Those people didn't belong to them, making it difficult to control the situation. If things escalated, it wouldn't end well.
He thought Michael had gone insane, but since they had come this far with the plan, as his assistant, he could only stick with him till the end.
Well, let Eva sleep a little longer. Perhaps, in half an hour, she would wake up on her own.
Eva listened to their conversation, and her heart skipped a beat. She was relieved that she heard them.
"If they replace out I've woken up, will I have to go with them?" she thought.
Eva closed her eyes and continued pretending to be asleep.
However, the door opened, and someone entered the room.
Eva furrowed her brow. Was it Michael?
A faint sound of footsteps echoed, finally stopping by her bedside.
Michael silently gazed at the sleeping Eva.
Compared to when she was awake, Eva appeared particularly calm while asleep. Her features were beautiful, especially her eyes, which were vibrant and seemed to hold all the beauty in the world.
He had liked her since adolescence. He loved seeing Eva smile because her eyes curved like a crescent moon hanging high in the sky.
But now, that crescent moon no longer smiled at him. When she saw him, her eyes were filled with caution and wariness.
Their relationship had become worse than that of strangers.
If she could keep smiling at him like before, it would be wonderful.
Michael raised his hand and gently touched her cheek.
Eva, who was pretending to be asleep, had to endure it silently.
This touch made her feel uncomfortable. If she weren't pretending to be asleep, she would have pushed his hand away. Fortunately, Michael's fingers did not linger on her face for long.
After he left, Eva sighed in relief, opened her eyes, and dragged out the time as much as she could.
At first, it was quiet outside, but as time passed, faint footsteps could be heard again.
The sound was low, as if deliberately suppressed.
She even heard the sound of the neighboring room's door opening.
Had she heard it wrong?
The two little ones were sleeping in that room.
What were they doing next door?
Eva immediately got out of bed and opened the door.
She saw David and another person holding the kids and heading outside.
Just as Eva opened the door, the two men stopped and turned around.
Eva lost her composure. She rushed forward and questioned, "What are you doing to my children?"
David hadn't expected Eva to catch him in the act. He had waited for nearly two hours, and she still hadn't woken up.
So he came up with a plan to take the two children away while she was still asleep. Even if she didn't want to leave, she would have to follow them obediently for the sake of her children. But he didn't expect her to wake up.
"Ms. Hansen, this is a misunderstanding. Please let me explain," he said.
"What kind of misunderstanding would cause you to sneak in and take my children away?" Eva retorted.
She stepped forward, took one of the children from David, and walked to the other person. "Put my child back where he was!"
The person hesitated and glanced at David. Then he reluctantly put Dylan, whom he was holding, back on the bed in the room.
David looked at Eva and said, "Ms. Hansen, since you're awake now, let's go."
"Go? Where?"
"This was just a temporary resting place. We're headed to our next destination," he explained.
Hearing this, Eva pursed her lips. "David, you're not Michael. He doesn't know what he's doing, but you do. Don't you realize that some responsibilities are shared?"
How could David not understand the meaning behind Eva's words?
He forced a bitter smile and said, "What can I do, Ms. Hansen? I've been working with Mr. Cooper for years. I have to go along with his wishes. There's no reason to escape now."
Eva understood what he was thinking.
"It's not good for him." Eva felt dejected. "If you truly have his best interests at heart, then you should be advising him instead of enabling his wrongdoings."
"Ms. Hansen, do you think I haven't advised him? You've known Mr. Cooper for such a long time. Don't you think you understand him better than I do?"
Eva remained silent. She pursed her lips and told David to leave. "You should leave."
David hesitated, glancing at her before finally leaving with his companion.
Outside the room, they ran into Michael. David immediately briefed him on what had happened.
Michael furrowed his brows, looking displeased. "When will you start being reliable, David?"
"Apologies, Mr. Cooper. There won't be a next time." David thought for a moment before speaking up again. "Mr. Cooper, forgive me for butting in, but you either turn back now or put an end to this. We must leave. Further delay will not be advantageous for us."
"I understand. I'll go in and try to persuade her."
"Mr. Cooper, you've already done enough throughout this journey. You have always accommodated Ms. Hansen. But was it helpful? Either send her back or leave now."
He thought Michael was really crazy. After arriving in this country, Mr. Cooper became somewhat indecisive when it came to Ms. Hansen.
