Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 512 The More You Know, The More You Worry
babies, their mommy was still the most important.
The two little kids hadn't seen Eva for a long time. Although they had the company of their grandmother and great-grandparents in the countryside, and there was plenty of delicious food and even likable playmates nearby, to the two little They missed Eva so much that now, seeing her, they snuggled in her arms and tenderly rubbed against her, not wanting to part like conjoined twins.
Margaret and Lynn, who followed behind, also did not expect Eva and Adrian Blackwood to suddenly appear here. Both of them had looks of surprise and delight on their faces.
"Eva, Adrian? How come you've come all of a sudden? Why didn't you inform us beforehand?"
Eva looked up and saw the two standing in front of her. One of them had hair that was turning white but was well-maintained and spry and was dressed in a dress and draped in a white shawl.
The person beside her was much younger, a middle-aged individual, dressed quite fashionably. The two had completely different auras, though their faces bore some resemblance. Adrian Blackwood had briefed her about the relationships beforehand due to her amnesia, so now, seeing them with the children, she could guess their identities. "Mom, Grandma."
Although her body was still stiff, Eva greeted them properly.
The one called grandmother, Lynn, hurried over to help her up.
"My girl, it's been so many years since we last met. I didn't expect to see you as a mommy now, and you've had two absolutely adorable little babies. Come on, get up, don't squat there."
Lynn helped her up, and Eva, being weak, staggered a bit. Adrian Blackwood, quick and observant, supported her waist to prevent her from falling.
Margaret, observing this scene, immediately narrowed her eyes.
"What's the matter? Why have you lost so much weight?" Lynn grasped her wrist and then realized there was hardly any flesh on it.
Feeling the old woman's kindness and concern, Eva felt a warmth in her heart.
"Grandma, it's because I've been dieting recently, that's why I've lost so much weight."
"Dieting?" Lynn sighed softly, "You're already so thin, why are you still dieting? Now that you're here, stop the diet. I'll make you some chicken soup later. Girls should be a bit plumper; it keeps them from getting sick easily." No matter what she said, Eva just smiled and nodded.
"Okay."
"Let's go inside."
Lynn went to open the door and then led Eva inside.
As Eva left, the two little kids followed her every step, clutching at the hem of her clothes.
They went ahead, but Margaret stood still. When she saw Adrian Blackwood about to follow inside, she called out to him.
"Adrian, wait a moment."
Adrian Blackwood, his mind on Eva, was taken aback by his mother's call and had to stop in his tracks. "What is it?"
Margaret didn't speak. She just watched them walk away and then pulled Adrian Blackwood to her side.
"What's going on?" She looked at her son's slightly pale face. Although he tried to appear normal, both of their complexions looked as though they had been hurt. They weren't deathly pale but still looked sickly. And Eva, she seemed even thinner when she stood up just now.
Margaret had guessed that the situation might be serious, which was why she thought to bring the children to the countryside for a respite, to spare herself from worrying alone.
But now, seeing the two of them, she realized that things might be much more serious than she had imagined.
Faced with her question, Adrian Blackwood was silent for a moment before finally saying in a deep voice, "Mom, this matter has been resolved. It's better if you just forget about it." Margaret somewhat disagreed with this.
"What do you mean I should just forget about it? Since it's all resolved and there's no need to worry, then what's the problem with telling me?"
"The more you know, the more you'll worry," said Adrian Blackwood.
"It's all settled now, isn't it?" Margaret asked.
However, Adrian just pursed his lips and did not respond.
Margaret thought of something and frowned, "What about your father?"
"He's still dealing with some matters and hasn't come back yet."
Because his father had been in contact with the elder of the Cooper family, the matter had escalated.
Hearing this, Margaret's expression changed slightly, "Is your father alright?"
"You've been with him for so many years, don't you know what kind of person he is?"
"That's true. Then let him continue dealing with it. But why do you look so unwell? Are you hurt?"
Adrian Blackwood didn't respond, which was a silent confirmation.
"And Eva? What happened to her? Why has she become so thin?"
It hadn't been that long since they had gone out, and she had lost so much weight. It was truly distressing, Margaret thought to herself. Adrian Blackwood remained silent, he recalled how she seemed to eat with small, slow bites in the morning, and not even much at that.
Suddenly, Adrian Blackwood thought of something and said to Margaret, "Grandmother mentioned she's going to make chicken soup for her later. If you could intervene, ask Grandmother not to make it yet." "Wh..."
Curiosity swelled in Margaret's heart; she was dying to ask why, but upon seeing her son's profile, she swallowed her words back down.
Let it be, she thought. After all, whatever had happened must be in the past, and her husband would handle the rest. If the young people didn't want to talk, it meant they didn't want to worry an old woman like her. With that in mind, why keep pressing and risk spoiling their kind intentions?
After a moment of reflection, Margaret came to terms with the situation.
"Alright, I'll go in and talk to your grandmother in a bit. I'll tell her to prepare something lighter for lunch."
"Thank you, Mother."
"There, no need to thank me. Go on now, your heart seems to have already gone with her."
He had been left behind, and his eyes remained steadfastly fixed on her until Eva's figure had disappeared from his sight. Even after she was gone, he kept staring at the spot where she vanished, his heart clearly elsewhere. Practically affirming his mother's statement, Adrian Blackwood promptly stepped away.
Margaret stood there speechless for a while.
After letting out a short sigh, she no longer felt it was right to ponder further and stepped inside.
Once Eva entered the room, Lynn went to replace some food to lay out before her. While sitting on the couch, the two little kids snuggled up beside her.
From being somewhat stiff and nervous at first, she had gradually become more comfortable.
The little kids were soft and sweet-smelling, and in good spirits; it was evident that they had been well cared for during her absence.
