Chapter 486
Fennis’s gaze made Michael Cooper uncomfortable, as if implying Eva had confided in Fennis. “Why do you keep looking at me p>
Fennis hadn’t expected him to ask directly. He didn’t intend to speak up, but since he asked, Fennis didn’t want to miss the opportunity and spoke straightforwardly, “Mr. Cooper, would you like to have a psychological consultation like Ms. Hansen p>
From his years of experience, although Ms. Hansen had psychological issues, it seemed now that Michael Cooper’s problem might be even greater.
David: p>
“1
Jane: p>
Neither of them had expected Fennis would suddenly make such a suggestion.
Both looked at Michael Cooper, curious about his reaction. As expected, Michael Cooper’s face darkened.
Fennis, apparently uninterested in how his words affected Cooper, continued naturally, “My advice is sincere, Mr. Cooper, and you should seriously consider it. If needed, just call me directly; today’s consultation ends here, I’ll be leaving.” “Mr. Fennis, let me see you out p>
David stepped forward to escort Fennis away, while Michael Cooper, probably still angry or perhaps considering whether he should share some information with the psychologist, stood by.
After Fennis left, Jane stood there staring at Michael Cooper for a good while before timidly asking, “Mr. Cooper, shall I go in then p>
She was referring to Eva’s room.
Michael Cooper glanced at her but did not respond. Instead, he walked past her into the room, and Jane hurriedly followed.
Seeing Eva back in bed, eyes shut and curled up listlessly, Michael Cooper felt both anger and distress.
Angry that she behaved like this by his side and distressed that she was neglecting her health by not eating or drinking.
But many signs showed that it wasn’t intentional-her body was rejecting food, and she vomited after eating. She was so weak.
Michael Cooper watched her quietly for some time before leaving.
Upon exiting, he encountered David returning from seeing off Fennis.
“David p>
Michael Cooper said with an icy stare: ” Find out where Ruby and Dylan are p>
Hearing the names Ruby and Dylan, David’s expression changed slightly.
“What is this about, Mr. Cooper p>
“She’s lost the will to live since losing her memory. Her subconscious created psychological issues leading to anorexia. In that case, I could only help her to reignite her will to live p>
The only ones that could reignite her will to live, other than Adrian Blackwood, were those two children.
David: p>
He thought this situation might help Michael Cooper think clearly, allowing Eva to leave and achieve a great realization-that forcing things doesn’t bring happiness and certain things must be let go and moved on from. But he had not anticipated that Michael Cooper would get even more deeply involved, now even contemplating involving the two children.
David stood still without moving.
“Mr. Cooper, Ruby and Dylan are young and can’t handle shocks. Besides, they don’t understand anything p>
David paused for a moment before continuing, “Mr. Cooper, although they aren’t your children, you have watched them grow up. Can you really p>
Michael Cooper cut him off.
“I just want her to live p>
Everything else could be sacrificed.
David’s brows finally furrowed deeply.
“But if something happens to the children, it would make Ms. Hansen suffer more than death p>
“Why would anything happen?” Michael Cooper’s eyes narrowed. “Now that Eva is by my side, I want their mother and children to reunite. Is there a problem?” “If Mr. Cooper really wants them to reunite, then he should let Ms. Hansen leave p>
Hearing this, Michael Cooper chuckled lightly.
From his laughter, David sensed an unsettling emotion. Fearing the consequences that may follow, he hurriedly said, “I will take care of this p>
Seeing him agree, Michael Cooper couldn’t be bothered to waste more words.
“Make it quick. In three days at the latest, I want the children to be with her. If anything happens to her, you needn’t bother coming back p>
The hands at David’s sides clenched into fists, his heart filled with bitterness.
Before, he had thought that Mr. Cooper might feel compassion for Ms. Hansen’s health and come to realize that letting her go was the right thing to do.
But now, it seemed he had underestimated the extent of his obsession.
Back in the country.
It was nighttime, and the Blackwood family home was brightly lit.
Margaret had just coaxed Ruby and Dylan to sleep, and as soon as she left the children’s room, her expression turned into one of worry. This was the first time in her many years married to Kim Blackwood that she was troubled by something. She usually had little to worry about. To maintain her appearance and youthful state, Margaret did not rely on medical beauty treatments but rather on getting early sleep, maintaining a calm mindset, and avoiding unnecessary stress, which kept her emotions very stable.
But this time, things were different p>
Walking downstairs, Margaret immediately saw Kim Blackwood sitting in the living room smoking. Hearing her footsteps, Kim Blackwood looked up, hurriedly put out his cigarette in the ashtray, and stood up to open the window for ventilation.
His actions made Margaret pause momentarily, and her previously unsettled heart felt somewhat calmer.
Kim Blackwood had been a heavy smoker in his youth but quit because Margaret disliked the smell of smoke. Since then, for decades, he never smoked in front of her.
However, recent events had troubled him so much that he couldn’t help but start smoking again.
Of course, he still dared not smoke in front of Margaret. He thought she would be putting the grandchildren to bed, so he took the opportunity to have a quick smoke downstairs. He didn’t expect her to come down at this time. This worried Kim Blackwood greatly; he feared her disapproval.
So, before Margaret could approach, Kim Blackwood started explaining in a flustered manner.

“I thought you’d gone to sleep with Ruby and Dylan, so I just The middle-aged man, who had weathered countless storms in the business world, complete with open conflicts and underhanded tactics, found himself feeling as helpless as a child when facing a mistake made in front of his wife.
After he spoke, Kim Blackwood even felt like his explanation sounded like an excuse.
He had promised his wife he wouldn’t smoke anymore, yet now it seemed he was admitting that he hadn’t actually quit; instead, he was just sneaking cigarettes while she slept.
As he opened his mouth to offer another explanation, Margaret simply said, “It’s okay. With what’s happened, I’m also feeling restless p>
After speaking, Margaret even reached out her hand towards him.
“Give me one cigarette too p>
Kim Blackwood: p>
“Forget it p>
Before he could refuse, Margaret seemed to think better of it and added, “I shouldn’t smoke. I’ll have to go check on Ruby and Dylan later p>
