Chapter 467
Seeing that Eva did not resist upon seeing David, Michael Cooper finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he felt a bit sour inside, he hadn’t expected her to still have a subconscious recollection of David despite her memory loss. “How about letting him accompany you as well?” he suggested.
Eva pursed her lips, came back to her senses, and gave David, who stood before her, a scrutinizing yet discreet look. “Will he be following me the whole time? Won’t he interfere with my shopping?” she inquired.
“No, he will follow from a distance; your primary company will still be the attendant with you,” Michael assured her.
With that, Eva agreed.
After everyone was ready, they took their belongings and left the house. With Jane taking care of her and David following along, Michael Cooper felt somewhat relieved. ” Don’t be out too late; make sure you come back early,” he cautioned Eva, who simply nodded lightly to show she understood.
Once in the car, Eva glanced at Jane, then David, and finally the driver. She sighed inwardly in resignation. She had originally wanted to go out alone, but now, including herself, four people were involved in this outing. She sighed, feeling rather helpless
Jane took her to a nearby shopping mall that had everything one might need. As they entered, Jane said, “Ms. Hansen, before we left, Mr. Cooper gave me a card and instructed that Ms. Hansen should buy whatever she wants. Just see if there is anything you like p>
Eva hadn’t planned on buying anything; she wasn’t in the mood, but since Jane mentioned it, she responded accordingly. “Okay p>
Fortunately, the driver only had the responsibility of driving; he didn’t accompany them into the supermarket. Jane was the only one by Eva’s side, while David followed at a considerable distance.
They had only been browsing for a short while when Eva said to Jane, “I’m hungry and I don’t really feel like walking anymore p>
Upon hearing this, Jane suggested, “Then how about we go up to the third floor, Ms. Hansen? There are some nice restaurants there p>
“Sorry, I probably don’t have the energy to walk there right now.” After saying that, Eva sat down on a nearby bench.
Jane, seeing that Eva refused to move, was unsure of what to do next until Eva suddenly spoke up, “When we came in, I saw someone selling food on the roadside. What was that? It looked quite good. Could you get one for me?” Before leaving, Mr. Cooper had given specific instructions that if Ms. Hansen saw something she wanted to eat on the way, Jane was to buy it immediately and also take note of any food that caught Eva’s attention for longer than a passing glance. They could make it for her back home, considering Ms. Hansen seemed to be in a state of disinterest in food, and it was definitely important to remember anything she showed an inclination to eat.
“Okay.” So when Eva expressed her interest in eating something from the roadside, Jane agreed immediately but then looked at Eva worriedly. “But Ms. Hansen, you here alone p>
“I am not alone.” Eva lifted her chin towards David, who was not far away. “Isn’t he here? So, don’t worry about me p>
That’s right, David was still here, so Jane didn’t need to worry about Ms. Hansen’s safety. She nodded and quickly went to buy the food for Eva.
As soon as Jane left, David, who had previously been keeping his distance, approached her. “Ms. Hansen, do you have something to say to me?” he inquired.
Eva was momentarily silent, not expecting his alertness. Then she asked directly, “You know me and know who I am, right p>
David seemed taken aback by her question and hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Yes p>
“I’ve lost my memory. Michael Cooper says I’m his fiancée. Is that true?” she asked.
Upon hearing this, David’s brow furrowed, probably because he hadn’t expected Michael Cooper to say such a thing. But considering Eva had lost her memory and he wanted to keep her by his side, perhaps it made sense to use such an explanation.
Yet p>
David raised his eyes to look at Eva but didn’t respond.
“Judging by your expression, it’s not the case?” she deduced.
David remained quiet, but his eyes seemingly confirmed Eva’s guess.
At this point, Eva could roughly determine something: David might not be on her side, but he definitely wasn’t on Michael Cooper’s side either. Otherwise, he could have easily affirmed the fiancée story when she asked about it-after all, she had lost her memory.
With this thought in mind, Eva asked further, “Why were you looking at me with guilt earlier? What have you done that you owe me an apology for p>
Hearing this, David lifted his head again, looking at her with the same penetrating gaze, seeming on the verge of speaking.
“If you have something to say, you’d better speak quickly; Jane will be back soon,” Eva prompted, urging him in a roundabout way.
Indeed, after she said this, David seemed to realize this was a rare opportunity. He lowered his head, seriously organizing his thoughts, and then addressed Eva, ” Don’t you remember anything at all, Ms. Hansen p>
Eva paused, not immediately answering his question, but counter-asked, “Should I remember something p>
“Have you forgotten everything? Isn’t there something important that you still remember?” he probed further.
His words prompted Eva to contemplate subconsciously.
Something important?
It seemed like all her memories had vanished.
If there was something crucial that she didn’t want to forget, there might indeed be one thing.
Only, she herself did not know what that was.
Perhaps, the man before her would know.
With that thought, Eva immediately responded, “I’ve indeed forgotten everything, but my subconscious tells me there’s still something very important that I haven’t done p>
She paused slightly as she spoke, and sure enough, she saw a look of surprise flash across David’s face. So she asked, “You know what it is, don’t you p>
After this question, David’s conflicted expression and pained eyes showed his indecision.
Compared to his turmoil, Eva simply observed him with a calm gaze, quietly awaiting his response.
He was, after all, someone Michael Cooper had sent, and if he had something to tell her, it likely required some mental preparation.
Time seemed to stretch, and just when Eva felt Jane was about to return, David finally nodded. “Yes p>
Eva’s heart tightened with the fall of that single word.
Uncontrollably, her heart began to race. Suppressing the impulse to stand up, she tried to keep her voice steady as she asked, “What is it p>
