Chapter 123
When she handed him her phone, Adrian could also see the content clearly.
Eva clearly saw his pupils contract, probably because of Vivian running out and causing tension.
She turned away, wanting to take off her coat, but at that moment, she heard Adrian say, “I’m going out for a bit p>
Although she had already guessed the outcome, hearing him say it out loud made her feel a bit different.
Eva softly said, “Alright,” and then stood up, wanting to take off her coat and give it back to him.
Adrian’s expression changed, and he held her hand. “No need, you wear it p>
Upon hearing this, Eva paused. “But it’s cold outside p>
“I’m a man,” Adrian’s voice was a bit firm. “You wear it, I’ll be back soon p>
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the operating room’s light.
“The surgery still has an hour left. I will be back within an hour. If there’s anything, call me p>
Eva pursed her lips and gently said, “Okay, tell your parents yourself p>
“Hmm p>
Adrian nodded.
Afterward, he let go of her hand and went to find Kim and Margaret.
When Margaret heard that he was going out, she immediately widened her eyes unhappily.
“What time is it? Why do you want to go out at this time? Aren’t you worried about your grandmother?” Adrian tightened his lips and remained silent, enduring the scolding.
Seeing him stay silent, Margaret reached out and poked his chest. “Speak up, what do you want to do p>
He didn’t say anything, but the expression on his face clearly indicated that he was definitely going out. Seeing this, Margaret chuckled coldly.
“Did Eva agree to let you go p>
Only then did Adrian lift his gaze and nod.
Upon hearing this, Margaret couldn’t believe it.
“What? She actually agreed?” Margaret then looked in Eva’s direction.
Receiving her gaze, Eva felt a bit embarrassed but could only turn her face away as if she hadn’t seen.
Then she heard Margaret sarcastically say, “Well, she sure is generous, actually agreeing to let her husband go out and find someone else at such a time p>
Eva was speechless.
This was the first time she had been mocked by Margaret. Eva could only feel her ears burning.
Adrian slightly furrowed his brows. “I have something very important p>
“What important thing could be more important than your grandmother p>
“Vivian is missing, and I have to find her p>
Upon hearing Vivian’s name, Margaret paused. Truth be told, she extremely disliked her son’s attitude towards Vivian, but unfortunately, Vivian was also the great benefactor of their Blackwood family. When faced with a great benefactor, not a single harsh word would come out of her mouth.
However, she still asked, “How did Vivian go missing? What happened to her p>
Adrian raised his hand and glanced at the time. “She suffered severe injuries to her face, which will leave scars. Recently,
“Bad temper p>
Upon hearing that she had suffered a serious injury to her face, the beauty-loving Margaret was momentarily speechless. After all, if Margaret’s face was also injured, she would probably go crazy.
“I’ll go first.” Adrian withdrew his gaze and quickly left when he saw that Margaret and Kim weren’t saying anything else.
Watching his back, Margaret could only say in the end, “Come back soon, and if that doesn’t work, have your assistant find someone to help p>
Adrian’s disappearing figure was her response.
After he left, Margaret said helplessly, “Why did it have to be Vivian? It’s making it difficult for us to say anything. If we do, we’ll be ungrateful people.” She sat down, sighing in frustration.
Kim reached out and touched her head, indulgently saying, “Don’t think too much, fate has its own arrangements p>
Upon hearing this, Margaret glared at him and pouted. “What are you saying p>
Kim simply smiled and remained silent.
However, Margaret thought of something and said to Kim, “Stay here for a while. I’ll go over to Eva p>
“Okay p>
Eva sat there in Adrian’s coat, looking at Margaret as she walked towards her with some resignation.
Sure enough, after Margaret sat down next to her, she asked, “Aren’t you upset or heartbroken seeing him go find other women p>
Eva could only softly respond, “He’s going to find someone, not do anything else p>
“Is that really all p>
Eva remained silent.
“You’re a married couple, sometimes it’s unnecessary to be so generous. It’s okay to be jealous. If you’re always too understanding, he might think you don’t love him at all.” Yes, how could Eva not understand this reasoning?
But… she and Adrian started with a fake marriage. What right does she have to be jealous?
Seeing her not saying anything, unaware Margaret felt a little disappointed.
“Forget it, as long as you two have no problems. As an elder, I won’t say much anymore p>
After speaking, Margaret got up and returned to Kim’s side.
Eva raised her gaze and saw that after Margaret went back, Kim carefully helped her sit down and adjusted her collar, showing his love throughout the whole process. Indeed, love cannot be hidden.
Sometimes she truly envied their love.
Because in this world, there are very few couples who can be mutually in love, stay together for a long time, and whose love does not diminish over time.
When she was young and had teenage fantasies, secretly liking Adrian, she also wished for a love like Kim and Margaret’s.
Because of her father’s failed love, Eva felt that love was not so beautiful.
But when she saw Kim and Margaret, she felt like she could have it too.
However, fantasies are just fantasies. Reality is completely different.
She is her father’s daughter. Her fate will probably be the same as her father’s, unable to find happiness in love.
Finally!
Thinking about this, Eva could only sigh in her heart.
After a moment, she suddenly felt nauseous, probably because she didn’t eat much this morning, and even felt stifled in her heart, wanting to go out for some fresh air. Considering this, Eva got up and said to Kim and Margaret, “Dad, mom, I’m going to the bathroom p>
Upon hearing this, Margaret immediately turned her gaze to her.
“To the bathroom? Do you want me to accompany you p>
Eva shook her head. “I can go by myself p>
“Okay, be careful then p>
Mainly because she looked a little weak, Margaret was a bit worried about her.
“Alright p>
Eva smiled at her and then walked outside. When she reached the door, she suddenly remembered that she hadn’t taken off Adrian’s jacket.
But she was too lazy to go back, so she simply put the jacket on.
The air in the hallway seemed to carry a chilly temperature, and Eva instinctively wrapped the jacket tightly around her.
The weather has been getting colder lately.
She glanced outside the window and speculated that it would likely snow in New York soon.
Lost in thought, she heard footsteps behind her.
There were many people coming and going in the hospital, so Eva didn’t pay much attention.
But when she heard the sound of those footsteps getting closer to her and that eerie feeling from earlier creeping back. She realized something was wrong and tried to turn around. A pair of hands wrapped around her from behind, covering her mouth and nose.
Then, a smell reached her.
Soon, Eva knew nothing.
