Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy!
Chapter 423 Psychological Issues

She was indeed worried about his own injuries.

Adrian found this thought sweet, feeling the injuries he sustained were trivial in comparison and worth it.

But equally, she cared about someone else.

And that person was the one who brought her abroad without her consent.

If not for Adrian's sentimentality, would Michael even be where he is today?

"Mr. Blackwood, shall we... take decisive action? Otherwise, Miss Hansen might always think back and show concern and fondness for him."

"Decisive action?" Adrian narrowed his eyes, sounding slightly irritated, "He's only injured and she's already so concerned about him. If we take it too far, what kind of person would I be in her heart? Besides, I have a family, children, and I follow the law."

Hearing this, Jacob realized Adrian had misunderstood him and said with a touch of helplessness, "Mr. Blackwood, you've got me wrong. What I meant by 'decisive action' was to cut off Miss Hansen's contact with Michael forever, not letting her hear any news about him again, that's what I was suggesting, not... the other thing..."

As he mentioned "the other thing," Jacob gestured as if firing a gun.

Adrian looked away, his tone slightly impatient, "Fine, first tell me why she wants to treat his illness? What's wrong with that guy?"

"Mr. Blackwood, are you asking about Michael's illness?"

Adrian retorted, "What else?"

"Well, I'm not entirely sure, but from what Miss Hansen said, it seems Michael might have psychological issues."

"Psychological issues..." Adrian squinted his slender eyes, wondering why she said it was a psychological problem. Back in their school days, he seemed quite normal, not like someone with psychological issues.

If something did change, psychologically speaking, it must have been after he went abroad.

Once he went abroad, they lost contact, and they were entirely unaware of what happened to him during that time.

Now Eva is saying he has psychological issues. Could it be something that developed while he was away?

So, what exactly happened?

Seeing that he was an old friend and had indeed been looking after Eva for the past five years, Adrian found it impossible to feel anything for him other than jealousy, there was no disgust to be had. "You should ask someone to look into it, replace out what's really going on."

He was keen to understand just what the nature of his psychological disorder was, so severe that it brought him to the point of wanting to kidnap Eva.

Jacob had thought that after talking to Adrian, he would come up with some other solution. Unexpectedly, Adrian tasked him with the investigation. What could he possibly replace out?

And even if he did discover something, was he supposed to help his own rival in love?

The very thought was absurd.

"Mr. Blackwood..." Jacob hesitated, "Are you serious, or is this a joke?"

Was there any point in asking about the truthfulness of the task?

"What do you mean?" Adrian asked, frowning.

"Mr. Blackwood, I mean, even if something has happened to Michael, it's none of our business, right? More importantly, he almost hurt Ms. Hansen. And you, you've been seriously injured this time. If it weren't for him, none of these events would have occurred."

"Mhm." Adrian nodded, "I know. So, can you do what I've asked?"

Jacob was speechless for a moment as he didn't know what to say. His words had been clear, and if Adrian could understand what he was saying, there would be no need to investigate anything concerning Michael. Even if Michael had been injured in his youth, so what?

What did it have to do with him?

Who hasn't been hurt in their youth?

But since it was Mr. Blackwood's decision, Jacob couldn't say much more, "I understand, Mr. Blackwood. You can rest assured. Since you want to get to the bottom of this matter, I'll make sure to replace out for you." Soon after, Jacob left, leaving Adrian alone in the room.

His lips were pressed into a thin line, almost completely straight.

In his mind, he replayed what Jacob had told him, she seemed to be quite concerned about Michael?

Unable to contain himself, Adrian rose to seek her out.

After returning from speaking with Jacob, Eva had been preoccupied with thoughts of Michael.

Meanwhile, the two little ones were watching cartoons in the house, each holding a mobile phone in their hands.

Eva also had a phone, a replacement prepared at Adrian's behest. As for her previous one, she had forgotten to take it with her on the night she fled due to the urgency of the situation.

So now, she could only use the new phone Adrian had given her, equipped with a new SIM card.

Regarding her previous card, she'd only be able to replace it upon her return home.

While she was alone, Emily happened to come looking for her.

"Eva, you've nearly sorted everything out here, so the miser... oh no, I mean Mr. Powell, and I need to get ready to leave."

They had just met last night, and now she was leaving today?

After hearing the news, Eva looked at her with a touch of unwillingness to part. "Won't you stay a couple more days?"

Emily stuck out her tongue and apologized, "I'm sorry, as much as I'd like to stay and keep you company, Mr. Powell has been out with me for too long. If he doesn't return soon, the company will be a complete mess. I had hoped he would go back on his own and I could stay with you, but he's insisting I return with him."

Eva somewhat understood and curved her lips into a smile. "Is it him who's not letting you stay, or do you want to go back with him?"

Hearing this, Emily's eyes widened in disbelief. "Have you lost your mind, Eva? Why would I want to go back with him? It's only because he helped me this time, and I can't be heartless and ungrateful, right? After all, replaceing a replacement for my position isn't something he could do quickly if I were to suddenly resign."

Eva didn't need anything more to understand the situation, she simply smiled and refrained from persuading her further, only saying, "Alright, then I wish you a safe journey. Thank you for coming over to help me. Once I've resolved my matters here, we'll get together again."

At that, Emily embraced her with some reluctance. "Eva, I don't want to leave you."

Hearing the quiver in her voice made Eva's eyes heat up, her vision blurring slightly as she tightened her embrace and buried her face in Emily's neck. "I don't want you to leave either."

"I'll come replace you after I've handed over my work."

Realizing something, Eva hurriedly said, "You're not thinking of quitting, are you?"

When they parted, tears glistened in the corner of Emily's eyes. She nodded earnestly at Eva, "Yeah, I don't want to do it anymore."
