Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 478 You Really Hate Me That Much?

After Michael Cooper followed Jane out, the crowd exchanged perplexed looks.

"What set Mr. Cooper off like that all of a sudden?"

"It's unclear, but right after David came out from the study, one of the staff overheard a loud noise. At first, everyone thought something had just fallen over, but when they went in, they heard Mr. Cooper yelling at someone to get out. That's when we realized he lost his temper."

"I've always seen Mr. Cooper as such a calm man. Who knew he could be so frightening when he's angry?"

"Well, you can't judge a book by its cover."

"As soon as he heard something about Ms. Hansen, didn't he immediately go back to his usual self?"

Eva woke up drenched in a cold sweat.

However, she couldn't remember what she had dreamed about.

Sitting up in bed with her head in a fog, the thought of him leaving safely brought a slight smile to her lips.

The human body is strange; although her mind had forgotten past events, certain subconscious feelings and sensations seemed to be etched into her very bones.

Knowing he was in danger made her anxious and worried.

Learning of his safe departure, she felt a wave of relief wash over her, happy for him and feeling as if half her mission was accomplished.

But it seemed she was still engulfed by other emotions that she couldn't shake off.

For instance, although he had left in safety, she was trapped here.

She had thought about calling the police.

But then... she also thought of Michael Cooper's concern for her, and her subconscious told her she didn't want to hurt him.

So there Eva was, caught between a rock and a hard place regarding her body and mind.

As she was pondering, there were sounds from outside.

Michael Cooper strode in quickly. Seeing that she was awake, he sat down on the edge of the bed directly.

"Eva, you're awake?"

Seeing him, Eva nodded.

"Yes."

"Do you need me? Is there something you want to talk about?"

Since Adrian Blackwood had safely left, even though Eva was staying here on her own volition, she didn't want to talk to Michael Cooper more than necessary, or even see him again. After this, she probably wouldn't even go downstairs or eat with him anymore.

Michael Cooper detected her reluctance in her tone, and his heart, which had been worried about her all day long, sank instantly.

He looked at her with a bitter expression in his eyes.

"What's the matter? You chose to stay by my side on your own. Can't I come to check on you if there's nothing wrong?"

His words brought a flicker of confusion to Eva's eyes, and her somewhat pale face moved as if she wanted to say something.

But in the end, she said nothing, just diverted her gaze, looking too drained to even offer an explanation.

The emotions that had been building up over the past several days erupted at that moment.

Michael Cooper felt an intense surge of emotion that he couldn't control. After seeing her turn her head away from him, he reached out abruptly and grasped her chin, forcing her to look at him. He had never been so rough before, so when he gripped her chin, Eva was taken aback.

"You..."

"If you have something to say to me, why won't you speak? Is it that you can't stand to look at my face, or do you disdain speaking to me?"

Eva: "..."

Under the pressure of his hand, Eva's chin began to ache, and her delicate eyebrows knitted together slightly.

"Let go of me."

"Answer my question, Eva!" Michael Cooper's eyes were as deep as the ocean, his body pressing closer, "Do you really hate me that much? Hate me so much that you don't even want to speak one more word with me?" As he spoke, he leaned in closer and closer, his hot breath almost upon her, just inches away from a kiss.

Eva's heart pounded like a drum. As his lips neared, she mustered all her strength to push him away.

Caught off balance on the edge of the bed, Michael hadn't anticipated her push and tumbled to the floor beneath.

The sound wasn't loud, but it still startled Eva. She wanted to check on him, but thinking back to his crazed behavior just before, she was too terrified to approach.

She initially intended to shrink into a corner.

But considering that he might get up and go mad again, Eva decided to jump out of bed, barefoot, and run towards the door.

However, she didn't expect Michael Cooper to be faster than her; as she passed by, he reached out and grasped her wrist, pulling her back.

"Where are you going?"

"Let me go!"

Eva tried to push him away in panic, but he gripped her shoulder firmly.

Just when she thought he would go mad again, she heard him say earnestly, "Eva, I'm sorry!"

She froze, surprised, and looked at him.

Pain filled Michael Cooper's eyes. "Sorry, I lost control of my emotions just now. Did I scare you?"

He reached out to touch her face, but Eva dodged away.

A look of annoyance appeared in Michael Cooper's eyes, and under her struggling, he slowly withdrew his hand.

"Forgive me, can you forgive me?"

Eva eyed him warily, noticing that his emotions seemed to have stabilized and he probably wouldn't do anything to her again.

While she breathed a sigh of relief, she still moved to the other side of the bed to keep her distance from him.

"What did you come to replace me for? If there's nothing else, then please leave. I want to go back to sleep."

Hearing this, Michael Cooper looked somewhat helpless, "Eva, you've just woken up, and you want to sleep again?"

"I didn't sleep well; can't I continue sleeping?"

Eva thought he was looking for an excuse to stay, so she could only insist stubbornly.

"You can, but do you remember how long it's been since you last ate? Aren't you hungry? Have something to eat before you sleep." "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat."

She rejected his suggestion outright without even thinking about it.

Michael pursed his lips, looking at her with resignation. "Eva, we need sustenance to live, and that comes from eating."

"You've hardly eaten lately. Where do you think your nutrients will come from?"

"That's none of your concern."

His words struck a chord.

Michael responded, "It's my place you're staying in, and you agreed to stay by my side. If I don't look after you, who will?"

"I don't need your care."

"Eva, I have to ensure your safety."

As he attempted to approach her, Eva, still shaken from earlier, instinctively moved away.

"Don't come any closer!"

Michael halted in his tracks as Eva said "You can just stand there. Whatever you need to say, say it from that distance. Don't get too close."

Michael lowered his gaze to his toes for a long moment before looking up again, his eyes carrying a different emotion. "Do you really dislike me that much? How will you stay by my side in the future?" Calmly turning her head away, Eva remarked, "Unless I'm mistaken, after losing my memory, I only agreed to stay. I never promised to like you, did I?"
