Chapter 495
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Michael Cooper said sharply.
Jane was startled by his scolding and instantly fell silent, not daring to speak further.
Her eyes reddened as they filled with tears that looked as if they might fall at any moment, making her appear especially pitiful. Fennis glanced at her and sighed inwardly.
“For now, she won’t be in immediate danger. Anyway, you should consult other doctors to see how her nutrition can be supplemented without eating. If she’s unwilling to eat, then we need to find alternative ways; there’s always a solution. But
people need to eat normally. The method I’m talking about can only sustain her temporarily. Not eating for an extended period is not viable; even if there are other ways to prevent death, the body will deteriorate, and in the end Though he didn’t finish his sentence, everyone present understood what he meant.
The conversation ceased, and Fennis left shortly after.
Michael Cooper’s gaze turned icy as he stared at the firmly shut door of the room, as if a small knife were slowly piercing his heart.
Jane broke the silence, “Mr. Cooper… then I’ll go in first p>
Michael Cooper stopped her, “You come with me p>
Jane replied with a puzzled, “Ah p>
Although unsure of what he needed from her, since he was her employer, Jane followed him.
Before leaving, Michael Cooper gave David a look. “Take good care of her. Call me if anything happens p>
David nodded expressionlessly.
After they had gone, David stood still for a moment, then raised his head to look at the door to the room, recalling the decision he had made.
He wondered whether it was an opportunity that Michael Cooper had deliberately left for him; otherwise, why would he call Jane away at this juncture? Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, David pushed the door open and stepped inside.
The curtains in the room were drawn, dimming the light, and the window was cracked open just a sliver for ventilation due to Eva’s frail condition. The whole room felt stifling, almost suffocating upon entry.
David even wondered if staying in such an environment would exacerbate her illness.
Eva was reclining on the sofa with her eyes closed, seemingly asleep. David watched her in silence for a while before finally speaking up, “Ms. Hansen.” As he expected, Eva completely ignored him.
At first, she would somewhat respond when he spoke to her, but now p>
It seemed that the doctor was spot on, her condition was worsening rapidly.
Thinking that Michael Cooper might return soon, David decided against any niceties and simply stated, “Ms. Hansen, other than Mr. Blackwood, is there no one else you can’t let go of p>
After saying this, regardless of Eva’s reaction, he continued, “Even though your memory is only temporarily lost, it may not come back, but there are some feelings that stick in your mind. Isn’t there anything else you are holding onto, Ms. Hansen p>
Upon hearing this, Eva slowly opened her eyes and looked at him with a calm gaze.
“What ‘holding onto p>
She felt like she had forgotten something, but since she couldn’t remember anything, she naturally attributed this feeling to aftereffects of her amnesia.
David looked steadily at her, “For instance, children p>
At the mention of children, something struck Eva’s chest hard, followed by her heart pounding like a drum. “Children p>
Eva repeated the word as she felt images flash crazily through her mind.
“Yes, children p>
A hint of life finally returned to Eva’s ashen face; it was as though a switch had been flipped within her.
Children-did she already have children?
No wonder she always felt she had forgotten something crucial.
Upon seeing the spark of life back in her eyes, David glanced towards the door, then quickly added, “Ms. Hansen, don’t reveal this matter to anyone. If possible, perhaps you could try to communicate with Mr. Cooper. He… maybe you can persuade him p>
If there was anyone left who could persuade him, it would likely be only Eva.
“Persuade him?” Eva’s spirit was no longer as listless as before; she seemed to have found a pillar of strength and even forced herself to sit upright, “To persuade him to let me go? But I’m like this now, if he’s unwilling, would he agree just because I asked him to p>
“No matter what, it’s worth trying. It’s certainly better than risking your own health p>
If this conversation had taken place earlier, Eva might not have cared much about her body, but after learning about her children from David, she now felt like she couldn’t afford to gamble with her health.
“Okay, I’ll try. But since I don’t remember anything about Michael Cooper, could you tell me some things about the past? It might help me p>
“Of course p>
David nodded, then added, “However, Mr. Cooper and Jane may return soon, so it’s probably not convenient to talk now. If you are willing, I’ll come to see you tonight, Ms. Hansen.” “That’s fine p>
“Then… will you eat later p>
Eva paused for a second before showing a rare smile.
“For my children, I must eat p>
After seeing the smile that had long-absent smile from her face, David was momentarily taken aback, then he nodded.
“I’ll go out first then. Mr. Cooper should be back soon. He’s probably figuring out how to get food for you. You could try to eat a bit today and try not to resist the psychologist too much tomorrow-pretend to accept the treatment.” “I understand p>
Eva hesitated as if she wanted to say more, then spoke as he was about to leave, “Wait, may I ask you a question p>
David, who had been about to leave, stopped in his tracks, “Ms. Hansen, please ask p>
“My children… what do they look like? Do you have a photo you can show me p>
David paused for a moment, then shook his head.
“I don’t have any stored on my phone, but I’ll find a way to get photos. If I do, I’ll show them to you immediately p>
“Okay, thank you p>
“You’re welcome, Ms. Hansen. I should go now p>
Without lingering further, David quickly left.
Eva sat on the sofa, feeling previously as if she was suffocating, like life had become an utterly lifeless march through despair, devoid of any vitality. Living seemed pointless.
But now, her emotions were completely different, her chest filled with indescribable feelings-tender yet powerful that not only ignited her will to live but also made her feel braver.
She didn’t think David was deceiving her because from the moment he mentioned she had children; Eva felt an inexplicable connection with her offspring.
She was sure she had children.
So, when Jane came back, she immediately sensed the change in Eva’s demeanor.
Although Eva was still leaning on the sofa, the feeling she gave off was entirely different.
