Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 427 I Will Find a Way to Rescue Him

Ever since Adrian promised to look into this matter for her, including David's injury, his people had moved swiftly.

By the next day, Eva had received the latest news about Michael: he was wounded, and David was nowhere to be found.

"Vanished?" The news gave Eva an ominous feeling. Previously, when she was with Michael, David had been absent for several days. When she inquired about him, only then did he appear, already badly injured. But Eva couldn't see just how badly, since she couldn't just strip off his clothes to check.

Afterwards, he had let her escape, even taking her out of there. Upon returning, Michael would be even less merciful towards him.

And now... who knew what had become of him?

With Michael injured as well, might he lash out in anger and take it all out on David?

Considering the possibilities, Eva couldn't help but stand up.

Adrian grasped her wrist. "Don't panic just yet."

Calmed by him, Eva bit her lip. Indeed, panicking was pointless. What could she do to help?

"So now... what shall we do?" She turned to Adrian, seeking his thoughts.

Adrian pursed his lips. "He helped you, and thus he helped me too. Don't worry, I will replace a way to rescue him."

Jacob also tried to squeeze out a reassuring smile beside them.

"Yes, Ms. Hansen, don't worry, we'll keep working on a plan." he reassured.

Eva glanced at both men and finally nodded. "Thank you for your efforts."

However, two days later, there was still no news of David.

It was as if he had disappeared from the world.

Eva felt so worried she could hardly eat.

Reflecting on the past five years, David had often shadowed her.

"Ms. Hansen, Mr. Cooper has sent me to pick you up. When do you finish work?"

"Ms. Hansen, this is something Mr. Cooper asked me to bring to you. When would be a good time for me to deliver it?"

"Ms. Hansen, please let me take these. I came to help anyway. If you don't let me carry them, Mr. Cooper will scold me later."

"Ms. Hansen, it's raining today. Remember to take an umbrella when you go out, and the temperature is low, so remember to wear warmer clothes."

Various scenes appeared before Eva, and her eyes unconsciously reddened.

Although David always claimed he was following Michael's orders, he indeed provided her with a lot of genuine help, especially during their last encounter when he aided her.

Without him, she might still be under Michael's soft detention.

Seeing the redness in her eyes, Jacob immediately grew anxious and blurted out in a flurry, "Ms. Hansen, please don't be sad. If David had the courage to rescue you, then he was prepared for the consequences. He knew what he would face, so you..."

But as he spoke, Jacob felt his words trailing off into error, and his voice grew softer and softer.

The atmosphere abruptly turned solemn.

Adrian, who observed her distress for others, felt a surge of restlessness swell in his chest. His hands clenched by his sides before he finally relaxed them.

"Don't worry. Sometimes no news is good news. At least it isn't bad news, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jacob quickly agreed, "Yes, Ms. Hansen, Mr. Blackwood is right. No news is actually the best news. Rest assured, we will continue to seek information, and if there's a chance to rescue him, we'll certainly do our best." Despite their efforts to console her, Eva's mood did not improve. She leaned against the window, serenely gazing into the distance.

She couldn't understand why things had taken such a sudden turn for the worse. Life was supposed to proceed smoothly, yet it had become incredibly tumultuous.

"Mommy, what's wrong?" The voices of the two little ones came from behind her, pulling Eva back to reality.

She snapped out of her thoughts to see both kids looking at her with concern.

"Ruby, Dylan."

The siblings moved closer, snuggling up to her side.

"Mommy, you've seemed unhappy these past few days."

Indeed, she was already out, but why couldn't she replace happiness? Perhaps it was because the issue remained unresolved.

Before two young children, Eva couldn't afford to be too obvious with her feelings, forcing a smile as she said, "No, I was just lost in thought, there's really nothing wrong. I'm sorry for worrying you both, all right?" The two kids exchanged glances, yet didn't answer her question.

Instead, Ruby squeezed in beside her, asking in a whisper, "Mommy, are we not going to see Uncle Michael again in the future?"

The sudden question took Eva by surprise, making her falter, "What?"

She was taken aback by the mention of Michael, never expecting the little ones to bring him up on their own. Hearing her mother's "what" Ruby thought Eva hadn't heard her properly and repeated her question.

"Mommy, are we never going to see Uncle Michael again? Did Uncle Michael do something wrong to you?" Eva looked down at Ruby nestled at her side, replaceing herself at a loss for words in response to her question. Dylan, being more thoughtful than Ruby, heard the repeated question and quickly reached out to pull her away. "Ruby, let's not pry into Mommy's affairs." he said, then attempted to lead Ruby away.

Eva stopped them both in their tracks.

"If there's something you want to know, just ask. There's nothing I can't respond to. Dylan, I know you always mean well for me, but you're just a child, you don't need to always worry on my behalf. Understand?" "Mommy..." Dylan fidgeted with the hem of his shirt.

"Alright" Eva soothed, pinching the kids' cheeks gently. "About your question from earlier, let me give you an official answer now. Whether we will see Michael again, I'm not quite sure. But what I can tell you is that he is ill at the moment. When he recovers, perhaps you'll see him again."

Ill?

Ruby asked, "Then Mommy, when will Uncle Michael get better?"

Her innocence posed a tough question for Eva.

"Well, I'm not certain, but he will get better, for sure."

Life always needs a bit of hope, doesn't it? Eva secretly wished for Michael's psychological condition to improve quickly, longing for everything to return to normal.
