Chapter 507
After cursing Michael Cooper in his mind, Jacob quickly said, “I’m going to find the doctor,” and then he turned and left the room.
Eva thought he had left for good, but in less than a minute, Jacob came back. This time, however, he didn’t enter the room but stood at the door and called out to Adrian Blackwood. Adrian Blackwood turned around, saw the hesitation on Jacob’s face, and said to Eva, “I’ll be right back,” before stepping out of the room.
Eva nodded from within the covers.
Once Adrian Blackwood was out, Jacob signaled for him to talk a bit further away from the room.
This action made Adrian Blackwood frown.
“What’s the matter? Why do we need to talk so far away p>
Hearing this, Jacob glanced behind Adrian Blackwood and then whispered, “Mr. Blackwood, perhaps we should talk further away? If we speak here, Ms. Hansen might overhear us.” Adrian Blackwood grew impatient.
He had finally brought her back, and now he was being asked to keep his distance. What if something happened in the meantime? Who would compensate him for that?
With this thought, his expression turned colder. “If you don’t want her to hear, then lower your voice. If that doesn’t work, then just text me p>
Jacob had wanted to persuade him further, but after noticing Adrian Blackwood’s darkening expression, he didn’t dare say more and instead whispered, “Mr. Blackwood, you’ve been with Ms. Hansen for quite some time. When Ms. Hansen was unconscious, it was fine, but now that she’s awake, shouldn’t you have your wounds treated again? The doctor has been waiting. He’s concerned that your injuries might get infected and cause other issues p>
Adrian Blackwood had completely forgotten about his own injuries, so he was taken aback when Jacob mentioned them. After a moment, he said gravely, “I know. I’ll go later p>
Jacob didn’t believe him.
“Mr. Blackwood, you’ve said that several times and have still never gone. Your doctor said if you don’t find an opportunity to go, he will come here himself.” Adrian Blackwood fell silent.
“So, let Ms. Hansen watch you get treated, or go find the doctor yourself. Please choose one, Mr. Blackwood p>
After a moment, Adrian Blackwood said, “Call her doctor over first p>
Understanding his intention, Jacob nodded and went to fetch the doctor.
After he left, Adrian Blackwood returned to Eva’s bedside and found her still hiding under the covers, with only her head showing, which he found somewhat amusing. He helped her sit up, and Eva asked, “What were you whispering about just now? Is there something I don’t know p>
“It’s nothing, not a big deal. Just lie down and rest p>
But Eva didn’t give up and looked at him with furrowed brows, “Is there a problem with your injury p>
Adrian Blackwood paused when he heard this. He was surprised by her sensitivity.
Indeed, his Eva was always smart. She could guess some things without him having to say anything.
“What are you thinking p>
Adrian Blackwood tapped her nose, “If there was really something wrong with me, could I still sit here talking to you? Could I have brought you back from abroad p>
Eva shook her head, “It’s not the same. Because you are injured, even if you were fine before, you might be pushing yourself to the limit now. I remember before I fainted, didn’t the doctor treat you once?” “Yes, the doctor treated me then; otherwise, how could I be sitting here, fine as a fiddle? So don’t worry, I need to protect you, so how could I dare to let anything happen to me?” With that said, Eva no longer doubted him.
However, she was still a bit worried about the situation with Michael Cooper and couldn’t help but ask, “That… after I left, what happened with Michael Cooper and his side of things?” Adrian Blackwood’s face lost some of its joy after hearing her bring up Micheal Cooper.
“Why are you asking about him? Are you worried about him p>
The sourness in his tone was clear to Eva, and she felt a bit helpless. She no longer remembered the past, but she could still sense that Adrian Blackwood had a very possessive personality. Her bringing up Michael Cooper probably did make him unhappy, but there was no helping it. There were some things that hadn’t been resolved, and she couldn’t just not mention them. “It’s not that I’m worried, I just want to know how you plan to resolve the subsequent matters p>
“It seems that even if you have lost your memory, you still can’t bear to see him get into trouble p>
Adrian Blackwood now spoke with a venomous sting in his tone.
Eva didn’t know how to respond.
“Eva, I can forget about my injuries, but I cannot ignore the injuries and the pain you have suffered p>
In front of Eva, Adrian Blackwood’s words were relatively gentle, but Eva still heard a hint of ruthlessness in his tone.
Her lips moved. She wanted to say something, but then footsteps were heard from outside, and Jacob came in with the doctor.
“Mr. Blackwood, Ms. Hansen, the doctor is here p>
In an instant, Adrian Blackwood returned to his usual demeanor, gently stroking the back of Eva’s head, “Be good, you just focus on your check-up, I’ll step out for a bit and come back after you’re done.” Eva guessed what he was going to do and nodded her head.
“Okay p>
Before Adrian Blackwood left, he instructed Jacob to stay there, to which Jacob responded, “Don’t worry, I would give my life before letting anything happen to Ms. Hansen p>
He sounded quite convincing, and Adrian Blackwood didn’t doubt him, especially since Jacob had contributed the most effort and had been running around relentlessly during this chaotic time. Adrian Blackwood nodded, “I’ll give you a bonus later p>
“Thank you, Mr. Blackwood p>
After Adrian Blackwood left, Jacob personally went in to keep watch.
During the examination, the doctor asked Eva various questions. She answered everything he asked with great cooperation.
So, by the later stages, the doctor didn’t have any more questions to ask. Eva, looking at Jacob standing by the side, seemed to ask casually, “You p>
She hesitated, but Jacob immediately understood what she was getting at and quickly replied, “Ms. Hansen, you can just call me Jacob.” “Jacob p>
She nodded and then asked, “Is Adrian seriously injured p>
“Uh p>
Eva’s sudden question caught Jacob off guard, and before he could think of how to respond, Eva added, “Did he go to treat his wounds p>
Jacob finally regained his composure.
“Yes, Mr. Blackwood has been with you since you lost consciousness, never leaving your side. His doctor called for him several times, but he insisted on staying with you.” As expected.
A touch of distress flashed through Eva’s eyes.
“Did he come to save me while also forcing himself to bear with his injuries p>
Although Jacob did not want to worry Eva, he could not bear the thought of Adrian Blackwood’s sacrifices going unnoticed, so he nodded emphatically. “Yes p>
