After Adrian left, Eva stood at the entrance, calming her breathing and emotions. For a long time, she lifted her hand and touched her cheek.


    It was still warm, even though it was just a hug.


    She hadn''t expected Adrian to not question her, but instead believe what she said.


    Did this mean that all along, his heart leaned more towards her?


    "Mummy?"


    Suddenly, a small voice came from behind.


    Eva was startled and turned around to find Dn standing there, looking at her.


    Seeing him, Eva was taken aback.


    "Dn, why are you awake?"


    Wasn''t he already asleep?


    Avoiding eye contact, Eva wondered how long he had been standing here and if he saw anything just now.


    As she thought about it, she walked over to Dn and crouched in front of him, picking him up. "You shouldn''t be walking around without wearing an extrayer." "What should I do if I catch a cold?"


    After being picked up, Dn hugged Eva''s neck with his little arms.


    Eva asked a bit nervously, "When did youe out of your room?"


    "I happened to see Uncle NightA."


    He actually saw us.


    Eva smiled awkwardly, but then she thought, well, if he saw us, he saw us. After all, he had seen Adrian around a lot before.


    She reached out and touched Dn''s head, deciding not to mention it unless he mentioned it.


    But Dn asked, "Is Mommy really going to be with Uncle NightA?"


    Upon hearing that, Eva hesitated and thought of what Ruby said in the morning. She sighed and said, "It''s hard to say. If there''s a definite answer, I''ll let you and Ruby know as soon as possible, okay?" Dn nodded obediently.


    Eva took him back to his room, tucked him in, and let him sleep.


    At the hospital, Vivian finally fell asleep in a daze. Originally, Mrs. Morrison was supposed to be watching over her, but Adrian never showed up. Later, Mrs. Morrison got tired and went straight back home, leaving the household staff to take care of Vivian.


    After the staff arrived, Vivian ridiculed them several times. Even when they wanted to bring her water, she rebuffed them with a single sentence.


    In the end, the staff were so scared that they didn''t dare to approach, shrinking into a corner, waiting for Vivian to call them when she needed something.


    Only when Vivian fell asleep did the staff dared toe out of the corner, relieved.


    However, Vivian''s sleep was restless. She dreamed that her scheme of taking credit had been exposed. She fell from the clouds and instantly turned into a despised mouse.


    Everyone med her for stealing credit and bothering Adrian for such a long time. Then she had no chance, and the Morrison family, without the protection of the ckwood family, quickly declined and became enemies of the ckwood family.


    Vivian woke up with a fright.


    When she woke up, the room was quiet, with no one in sight.


    Even the maid her mother called to take care of her was not there.


    In an instant, Vivian''s anger red up.


    "Alice! You wretch! Why aren''t you in here? Weren''t you supposed toe and take care of me? Are you cking off now?"


    As soon as she finished speaking, Alice walked in.


    "Miss, I..."


    Vivian grabbed something from the table and threw it at her, "Where were you?"


    "Ah!"


    Alice quickly dodged to the side. Just as she was about to exin, someone walked in from outside the door.


    Seeing the person, Vivian''s face changed.


    "Adrian..."


    Could it really be him?


    Vivian thought she was having a hallucination, but she didn''t expect him toe here while she was throwing a fit. She felt extremely embarrassed, because in front of him, she had always been gentle and graceful, never like now, acting like a shrew. Vivian panicked and pulled back the covers, getting out of bed.


    "Adrian, why are you here?"


    She had tears in her eyes by the time she finished speaking and rushed into Adrian''s arms, crying.


    "I thought you didn''t want anything to do with me anymore."


    Adrian''s gaze shifted downward, looking at her wrists. "Why did you have such a big fit?"


    Hearing his question, Vivian hurriedly exined, "I... I thought you were ignoring me, so I was in a bad mood. I''m sorry... I didn''t mean to. Alice, are you okay?"


    Alice nodded her head, disgusted by Vivian''s two-faced nature, and slowly backed away. "I''ll leave you two alone to talk." She said as she quickly left and closed the door to the hospital room behind her.


    Vivian had no idea what time it was, but it must have been veryte. She never expected Adrian toe see her at this hour.


    "Adrian, are you still angry at me? I can exin what happenedst night. Don''t listen to the rumors. I never had anything with that Benjamin person."


    In response, Adrian''s lips slowly curled up, but he didn''t directly answer the question. Instead, he avoided Vivian and sat down on the chair inside the room.


    Feeling his coldness, Vivian immediately became anxious and turned around to speak with him.


    "Do you not believe me?"


    Adrian calmly poured a ss of water, still not responding.


    Vivian had no choice but to sit in front of him. "Where were youst night?"


    As she spoke, Vivian bit her lip. "Did you go see Eva? I know... I know you still can''t forget her. But she hurt you five years ago, even if there''s something between you two again, she''ll just leave you like she did five years ago. But I''m not like her, Adrian. My heart only belongs to you. I won''t abandon you, and I even saved your life."


    Vivian plucked up her courage. "Can''t you believe me, just for the fact that I saved your life? I almost lost my own life trying to save you. It was so cold that night, and my hand got injured, yet you..."


    "Yes, it was so cold." Adrian interjected, finally breaking his silence after hearing her words. "The person who came down to save me must have been freezing too. After pulling me ashore, you probably didn''t have any strength left, right?" "Yes." Vivian nodded vigorously, desperate to gain his sympathy, Vivian earnestly replied, "When I saved you, I had truly exhausted all of my strength."


    "I see." Adrian raised an eyebrow, his cold gaze piercing through her.


    The words he said made her think that he wanted to take advantage of the situation and marry her, so when he asked her, she didn''t consider the implications of his words and simply nodded. Seeing her admission, Adrian raised an eyebrow.


    "I''m really curious now. Since you were out of strength, how did you manage to get me ashore?" Adrian had reassessed the situation after Eva rified things earlier, and something didn''t add up.


    After they both fell into the river that day, he, as a strong male, fell ill, let alone how a girl would cope. If Vivian really went down to save him and got hurt, she would have fallen seriously ill. After all, the river water was bitterly cold, especially in that kind of weather.
