Chapter 337
The little one blew air onto her forehead.
Although this gesture didn’t seem to have any effect on Eva, whose forehead was wrapped in bandages, it still made her feel warm and cared for.
Her mood also became joyful, and the corners of her pale lips curled up.
“Mommy, are you feeling better p>
Eva’s voice was very tender. “Hmm, much better. Thank you, Ruby p>
Ruby immediately smiled innocently and said, “No need to thank me, as long as Mommy doesn’t hurt anymore p>
Coincidentally, the doctor arrived at that moment, with Adrian following behind him. He saw Ruby leaning by the bedside and without a word, he reached out and scooped her into his arms, holding her while also leading Dylan to the side. Afterwards, the doctor and nurse examined Eva and asked about her condition.
Upon examination, the doctor confirmed that her speech was coherent and logical, so he nodded at Adrian.
“She should be fine based on her condition. We’ll order a CT scan later, and if it’s clear, she can be discharged p>
Adrian, holding Ruby, nodded in response.
“Thank you p>
Afterward, Adrian borrowed a wheelchair and planned to take Eva to get the CT scan.
Eva looked at Adrian silently and reminded him, “I injured my forehead, not my legs p>
“I know.” Adrian replied and then came over to lift her and place her in the wheelchair. “Because it’s your forehead that’s injured, that’s why we need the wheelchair p>
Before leaving, Adrian instructed the two children to stay in the hospital room and not run around. After thinking for a moment, he felt worried and called them to follow along.
They would have to wait for the CT scan results, so Adrian brought Eva back to the hospital room.
Just as they arrived in the corridor outside the room, they saw two familiar figures standing by the door and peeking inside.
Upon seeing those two people, Eva’s expression instantly turned cold, and she was about to speak when she heard Adrian say, “I will handle it p>
The words that were about to come out of Eva’s mouth got stuck.
They were currently in the hospital, and the children were here too. If anything else happened she would not be held liable for the consequences.
In the end, Eva lowered her gaze and said coldly, “It’s your own business anyway p>
Meanwhile, Vivian and Jason had already noticed them. When Vivian saw them walking together, her expression initially stiffened, but she quickly adjusted herself.
When Vivian approached Eva, she affectionately called out, “Eva, how are you? Are you okay p>
Faced with Vivian’s ‘fake’ concern, Eva also forced a smile and said, “Thank you for your concern, I’m fine p>
Vivian’s smile froze slightly.
Before she could say anything else, Adrian had already pushed Eva into the hospital room, and he also called the two children to join. “Come in you two p>
As he pushed the mother and her two children into the room, his tall figure blocked the entrance, preventing anyone else from going in.
Once he made sure they were all inside, Adrian stepped back and closed the door to the room.
His actions made Vivian, who had little hope in the first place, instantly become displeased.
“What do you mean, Adrian? We just wanted to come and visit her.” Adrian’s voice was icy cold, “You’re done visiting now, you can leave p>
Hearing this, Vivian bit her lower lip and her eyes welled up with tears.
Having convinced himself to come and apologize, Jason was now infuriated by Adrian’s attitude.
“What do you mean, Adrian? We’ve been friends for so many years, and you treat me and Vivian like this? Let me tell you, even if I was in the wrong last night, I shouldn’t have acted the way I did, but you also have to take responsibility. Eva should apologize to Vivian too p>
Adrian’s eyes suddenly turned cold, like a sharp sword slashing across his face.
“What did you say? Say it again p>
Jason felt a bit intimidated by Adrian’s piercing gaze, but when he glanced at the tearful Vivian, he gathered his courage again.
“Did I say something wrong? You and Eva have been divorced for so long, and Vivian has been by your side all through these past five years. Now that Eva is back, can she just easily replace Vivian p>
“Jason, please stop.” Vivian held onto Jason’s hand, pitifully saying, “I don’t mind, it’s only right for Adrian to take care of Eva, considering how seriously she’s injured p>
“Vivian, what nonsense are you talking about? What does Eva’s injury have to do with Adrian? What do you mean it’s only right for him to take care of her? Eva is the shameless one Before Jason could finish his sentence, he received a punch to his chin.
Before he could react, he received another punch. Vivian beside them gasped in shock. Once Jason realized what was happening, he immediately wanted to fight back against Adrian. Unfortunately, he was no match for Adrian. After a few rounds, his hand was pinned behind his back and pressed against the cold, hard ground.
Vivian ran over, holding onto Adrian’s arm, crying as she tried to pull him away. “Adrian, please stop. Don’t get angry. If you’re not happy about us being here, then we’ll leave p>
“Jason, I will warn you one last time, my affairs are not anyone else’s business. If you like Vivian, go after her openly and honestly, rather than meddling in other people’s lives or even laying hands on women. The only reason I didn’t knock you out today is because of Eva, otherwise p>
Adrian tightened his grip, causing Jason to cry out in pain.
Adrian didn’t immediately let go, but instead coldly stared at him and said, “If there’s a next time, it won’t be resolved so easily p>
With those words, he finally released Jason’s hand and stood up.
Adrian, with his impeccable appearance, looked as pristine as ever, compared to Jason who lay defeated on the ground. He exuded a sense of sharp elegance.
This made Vivian even more infatuated, unable to bear the thought of letting go of such an outstanding man.
After Adrian finished his warning, he didn’t even spare her a glance and started to walk away. Vivian gritted her teeth and followed after him.
“Adrian, I’m sorry for yesterday, but today I’m genuinely worried about Eva. I just wanted to know how she’s doing, nothing… nothing more.” Adrian’s gaze remained icy.
“Didn’t you just see for yourself p>
“What p>
Adrian responded with a prolonged silence, before parting his thin lips gently, “Vivian p>
His tone was calm, his expression indifferent, creating an ominous premonition within Vivian.
Just as Vivian was about to speak, her words were caught in her throat. She watched as Adrian turned around and walked away without saying another word.
When he was a few steps away from her, he stopped and spoke words that Vivian tried to avoid listening to, she heard Adrian say, “I made it clear to you years ago, but it seems like you never really listened to me.” “I… I was just p>
“Vivian, the most dignified thing for adults is to not entangle themselves with things that don’t involve them p>
Hearing this, Vivian bit her lower lip, her eyes turning red.
“And what about you? You said the most dignified thing for adults is to not entangle themselves, so what are you doing now? Aren’t you entangling yourself with Eva p>
