Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 411 A Sprained Ankle

However, that smile vanished in a flash as she started to worry about Adrian again.

Seeing the quick change in her expression, Jacob hurried to reassure her, "Don't worry, Ms. Hansen, really, there's no need. Mr. Blackwood never does anything he's not sure of." "I know." Eva nodded, understanding Adrian's character well after knowing him for so long.

But knowing his character was one thing, and worrying for him was another.

In reality, Adrian had stayed behind to handle things, which is why their journey had been smooth. Once they reached a safe location, Jacob escorted all three of them to a room. They had spent quite some time traveling, so just before Jacob was about to leave, Eva stopped him to ask, "When do you think he'll be back?"

"Well..." Jacob shook his head. "I'm not sure. He'll return once he's finished."

"Hasn't he updated you yet?"

"Ms. Hansen, you've been with me the whole way, and my phone has only rung once, which was when Miss Jones called."

Hearing this, the light in Eva's eyes slowly dimmed.

Just then, Jacob's phone happened to ring. Eva's eyes brightened, "Is it him?"

Jacob checked the caller ID and then said, "No, it's not."

The light in Eva's eyes faded immediately.

After glancing at the caller ID, Jacob tentatively asked, "Ms. Hansen, if there's nothing else, may I take my leave to attend to my duties?"

Eva nodded, "Go ahead with your work."

Jacob left and Eva sighed, then closed the room door.

The room was tidy and she had initially thought it was prepared for them. But on entering, she realized there were signs of someone having stayed in this space. A man's clothes hung in the wardrobe, clearly belonging to Adrian. That is to say, Jacob led her directly to Adrian's room.

By this time, it was already late, and the two children had been running around with her all day. They were exhausted and were slumped on the sofa, haphazardly lounging. At her return, they both summoned the strength to weakly call out to her.

Seeing them like this, Eva's heart ached terribly for them. She was about to walk over when she suddenly thought of something, turned around, and ran back to push the door open, just in time to see Jacob returning. "Jacob, Ruby, she..." Eva began.

"Right, Ms. Hansen, the doctor is already on his way and should arrive shortly. Before treating Miss Ruby's foot injury, would you like something to eat?" Jacob asked thoughtfully.

Having rushed around all day, Eva was truly tired and had no appetite.

It didn't matter for her, but not for the two children.

So, she nodded her head, "Yes, please prepare something for them to eat."

Soon, food was brought to the room. Taking advantage of this time, Eva dressed the children in clothes the servants had prepared and washed their feet.

When the doctor arrived, Ruby was seated on the sofa with a bowl and spoon in hand, eating, while her tender white feet swayed in the air.

Witnessing this sight, the doctor instantly understood a bit more of the situation.

"Ms. Hansen, the doctor has arrived." Jacob announced.

Eva gestured for Ruby to put down her bowl, and Ruby obediently placed it on the table, then moved further away from the dining table before settling down. This prompted a chuckle from the doctor.

"Just relax, it's a casual check-up." he said.

Then the doctor squatted in front of Ruby and gently held her right ankle. "Did you injure this foot?"

The moment her ankle was grasped, Ruby immediately became tense, clutching the hem of her dress, and she nodded her head.

The doctor examined her pale ankle and pressed gently at a spot, causing the little girl to shiver from the pain and instinctively cry out for Mommy.

Eva, pained by this, stretched out her hand for Ruby to hold.

"It seems this is the sore spot. What about here, does this hurt too?"

After checking for a while, the doctor said, "Nothing serious, just a sprained ankle. I'll prescribe some medicine, and she needs a few days of rest. However, be careful not to walk on it for the time being." Eva thanked him, and after the doctor provided a prescription, he left.

During this half hour, once the doctor had departed, Eva carried Ruby back to her original spot and earnestly instructed, "If you're hurt next time, you must tell me right away, don't try to bear it alone, understand?" Ruby, having learned her lesson, obediently nodded her head.

"I got it, Mommy."

"Alright, finish your food, and then it's time for you to go to bed."

Ruby held a spoon but didn't move an inch. Instead, she stared at her mother and asked, "Mommy, why isn't Uncle NightA with us? Where did he go?"

Eva wanted to ask the same questions. They had been back for so long, and including the travel time, it was odd that there was still no word from Adrian.

She was worried but knew she couldn't show it in front of her children.

So, Eva simply stroked her daughter's head and explained softly, "He had to attend to something. Go to sleep for now, and you will see him once you wake up tomorrow, okay?"

"Mhm." Ruby nodded obediently.

Once Eva finally got them both to bed and the room fell quiet, confirming they wouldn't wake up again, she stood up, opened the door, and stepped out.

The place looked like a small base. The house was well-structured, difficult for outsiders to infiltrate and equally challenging for those inside to leave without notice. There were guards everywhere. As she emerged, everyone greeted her politely with a nod.

"Ms. Hansen."

She encountered someone every few steps, all of them speaking to Eva in unison. At first, she acknowledged their greetings with a smile.

But after a while, she couldn't keep up with the formality any longer and said to them awkwardly, "Please, go about your business. I'm just walking around, you don't need to worry about me."

One of the leaders came forward and said, "Ms. Hansen, you're welcome to walk around, but it's best not to step outside the main gate. Mr. Blackwood hasn't returned yet, which means the crisis isn't over. Until Mr. Blackwood is back, it'd be

best if you stayed in your room or within our protection perimeter."

If these words had come from Michael's subordinates, Eva would have felt they were trying to detain her. But coming from Adrian's people, it felt like they were protecting her for her safety.

Upon reflecting on this, Eva pursed her lips, deep in thought.

Was she being too unfair to Michael?

But then again... if he didn't restrict her movements, would their relationship have deteriorated to this extent?
