Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 521 Tomorrow Will Be Better
On the way back, Adrian held Eva's hand the entire time.
Her steps were still a bit unsteady.
She had clearly felt an amorous atmosphere between them before, and he had said some strange things to her.
So, Eva really thought that something might happen between them, but unexpectedly, he just kissed her forehead and then took her hand and walked away.
This was completely different from what Eva had anticipated.
Although she hadn't thought about anything happening with him, there was still a sense of emptiness in her heart now.
Eva reached out and covered her chest, feeling a bit strange about herself.
"What's wrong?"
Adrian's voice suddenly came from beside her, "Is your chest uncomfortable?"
Hearing this, Eva came back to her senses and avoided Adrian's concerned gaze with a guilty conscience, whispering, "No."
Her eyes were obviously evasive, but since she didn't want to talk, and Adrian didn't know why, he didn't say anything more seeing that she seemed fine and her spirit was normal. When they got back, it was just around eight o'clock.
Warren came forward when he saw them returning.
"Back from your walk? How was it? How do you feel about the countryside on your first visit? Are you not used to it?"
"No, the air in the countryside is very nice, and I'm not uncomfortable."
Warren was cheerful.
"That's good. At night, when you sleep, don't open the screens in your room easily, as they can let mosquitoes in." "Okay, got it."
"Oh, and your grandma said that it's too late today, so she'll leave the cooking for tomorrow, otherwise eating too much at night might affect your digestion and sleep." For Eva, this was a pleasant surprise.
"It's getting late; you both should tidy up and then go to bed early. Tomorrow, we can go to the flea market; I'll take you both to have a look."
Eva and Adrian nodded.
Once Eva and Adrian were in their room, Eva couldn't help but say, "It seems that I made the right decision to come back early."
"Yeah," Adrian replied, seeing her happiness and unable to resist, he reached out and pinched her cheek. The feeling in his hand made his heart ache a little; he had pinched her cheeks before, but back then they were felt soft and plump, unlike now where there was barely any flesh to pinch.
He thought to himself that he definitely needed to slowly nurse her back to health.
Eva, oblivious to his thinking, only knew that he had pinched her face, and she pushed his hand away while asking, "What about Ruby and Dylan? Aren't they sleeping with us tonight?"
She was asking because she hadn't seen the two children when they came back and didn't know where they had run off to.
"Hmm, I asked earlier, they should be sleeping with our mom tonight."
Sleeping with their mom?
Seeing her with a thoughtful look and downcast eyes, Adrian knew what she was thinking without having to ask, and said, "What's wrong? Do you want to sleep with them? Why don't you go?"
At that, Eva immediately looked up.
"Can I really go?"
"No. It's just a joke."
Eva was a bit speechless.
"Adrian, are you teasing me on purpose?"
Adrian laughed and said, "No, it's just that I checked earlier, and their bed can only fit three people. If you go, there won't be any place for you to sleep."
Hearing this, Eva glanced over at the large bed behind him.
She realized that the bed wasn't very big either; it could only fit her and Adrian. She herself was fine; she could sleep with the two children.
But with Adrian added, a tall man with long legs, he would almost take up the entire bed once he lay down. Where would there be extra space for two more children?
So, her wish to have the two children come over to sleep was dashed.
"Never mind; let's not think about this anymore." Eva shook her head and then said to Adrian, "I should take a look at your wound first. Where did you put your medicine?" After saying that, Eva started to rummage through his suitcase.
"I'll do it."
Adrian put down the suitcase and took out his medicine and bandages.
Seeing this, Eva directly took them from him and then walked to the side of the bed, "Should we change it here?"
Adrian glanced at the sofa next to him, said nothing, and sat down by the bed.
He had already taken off his overcoat, wearing only a light gray sweater over a white shirt.
"Do you want to take off the sweater? Is it convenient?"
"Yes."
Adrian casually removed his sweater with such ease that he seemed like a normal person unaffected by injury. However, Eva noticed the red stain of blood on the white shirt once the gray sweater was removed, and she realized that Adrian had been enduring pain all along.
Upon seeing the blood on the white shirt, Eva became aware that Adrian had been acting as usual during their journey, but in fact, he had been toughing it out. Perhaps it was the sight of blood that made Adrian's complexion seem paler to Eva now.
She was too careless; she thought she should have let him rest earlier.
With the thought of having him rest and heal, Eva's movements became somewhat hurried as she bent down to start unbuttoning Adrian's shirt.
She was focused on unbuttoning, not sparing any thoughts for anything else, nor did she pay attention to Adrian's expression while she was unbuttoning his shirt.
In no time, she had his shirt unbuttoned, proceeding to help him take it off.
After removing his jacket, Eva's elegant brows involuntarily furrowed at the sight of the bandages wrapped around him.
The allure caused by her soft hands while she had been unbuttoning his shirt had vanished when Adrian saw the concern in her furrowed brows.
"Hey, what's with the frown? Even if the wound is still bleeding a bit, it's much better than yesterday. It will be even better after tonight," he reassured her.
Eva glanced up at him silently and moved forward to start unwrapping his bandages.
Seeing her silence, Adrian caught her delicate wrist.
"What I said is true, I'm not lying to you. The medicine the doctor prescribed is very effective. Haven't you noticed that I'm in much better shape than yesterday?" "Mhm," Eva nodded.
"So, don't worry, okay? I'm fine."
Eva pulled her hand back and continued to unwrap his bandages.
Yesterday, someone had helped him, but today, the two of them were staying together, and he could not avoid her aid.
So now, Eva truly saw the injuries on his body, and there were not just one but two.
From the wounds, it was evident that one was new and the other was old.
The new injury looked more frightening than the old one.
Eva only glanced at it and felt as if her throat had seized; she was struggling to breathe. "These wounds..."
"Don't look too closely. After applying the medicine, it will heal in a couple of days." Adrian was still comforting her.
