    Chapter 269 Hallucinations


    A frown appeared as Adrian suddenly ced a hand over his heart.


    Adrian experienced severe difort in his heart, sensing the oppressive feeling of being unable to


    breathe correctly. It was as if a tight noose was strangling him, forcing him to open his eyes.


    Adrian no longer had the woman who would bring him a cup of coffee this time.


    It became evident that the silhouette Adrian had seen in his mind just now was merely a trick of his


    imagination.


    Sienna’s slightest frown or smile, every single movement she made, her moments of happiness, painful


    weeping, and the sight of herpletely breaking down with tears streaming down her face…


    At that moment, they all rushed toward Adrian like an unbounded spring.


    Sienna’s image remained fresh in his mind.


    A continuous downpour had persisted for an entire day and night.


    The relentless wind outside pounded on the ss panels with arrogance, reminiscent of a just-


    awakened angry beast. It blew against the vi’s surroundings and the willow tree Adrian frequently


    stared at. It made a swooshing sound, conveying both a bleak and


    sorrowful ambiance.


    As Adrian awakened from the sofa the following day, he could not help but notice the mounting


    heaviness in his body, along with a pervasive coldness that made him tremble ceaselessly.


    It dawned on him that he was, without a doubt, suffering from a cold.


    With exhaustion weighing him down, Adrian reached the bathroom. Despite feeling disoriented, he


    freshened up before heading upstairs to search for medicine.


    For a full five years, Adrian had never fallen ill, making this sudden cold catch himpletely off guard.


    The burning temperature coursing through his body felt like it could drain himpletely.

    Adrian struggled to make his way to the storage room on the second floor, finally reaching it with


    incredible difficulty. There, he found the medicine box hidden beneath


    a stack of cardboard.

    As Adrian opened the medicine box, a wave of endless memories engulfed him again.


    The medicines inside the box were meticulously arranged, each one neatly ced. Every prescription


    in the box bore specifications and cautionary notes, and Adrian instantly recognized the elegant


    handwriting as belonging to the woman.


    [Instructions for cold medicine. Take two tablets three times a day. But please, be careful not to take


    more than the prescribed amount!]


    [Instructions for herbal medicine. Take one tablet twice a day. If the taste is bitter, you can have a piece


    of candy with it.]


    Adrian remained silent and rooted to the spot, unable to move as he observed the text


    before him.


    “All of this… it was her thoughtful preparation. How have I never noticed her thoughtfulness?” Adrian


    mused.


    Out of nowhere, a profound feeling of regret welled inside Adrian, forcing him to strike


    the medicine box with a single punch, causing the medicines to spill and cover the floor.


    Adrian gradually rose to his feet, steadying himself against the wall. As he looked at the


    medications carefully arranged by Sienna, memories of her words echoed in his mind.


    “I’ve tidied up your study. Remember to keep yourself warm, as it’s getting colder


    today. By the way, I’ve ced thesemonly used medications in the storage room. Don’t forget…”


    The sound of Sienna’s tender words of advice and the bright, joyful smile on her face. lingered in his


    ears.


    It resembled a soft, soothing breeze that touched his face, enveloping Adrian in the pouring warmth of


    sunlight.


    Sienna’s nagging used to infuriate Adrian to no end. He always thought she deliberately wanted to get


    on his nerves. However, confronted with the reality before him, he could not suppress the frustration


    and the overwhelming self-reproach.


    Then, Alexander, who had been trying to reach Adrian unsessfully, arrived at the


    house in his car.

    Unlocking the door with the spare key, Alexander heard the sound of objects being broken on the upper


    floor. Hurriedly, he raced up the stairs to assess the situation and discovered Adrian lying in front of the


    door, his face flushed and tears on his cheeks.


    “Mr. Olson, what’s the matter? Are you alright, Mr. Olson?”


    Adrian became unconscious and slowly shut his eyes, prompting Alexander to dial the emergency


    hotline quickly.


    Several doctors then ced Adrian in the ambnce as the siren echoed.


    In Kind’s Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit, Adrian’splexion was pale two dayster as hey on the


    hospital bed, looking exhausted. Janice remained by his side, using a towel


    to cool his body.


    His fever continued to persist for two days straight.
