"Three years ago?" Eva asked again when he didn't respond.

Her gaze was fixed on his face, as if she wouldn't give up until she got an answer.

But her eyes and demeanor appeared calm. There wasn't even a hint of redness in her eyes.

She had been terrified by this news, enough to faint, yet she showed no reaction now.

Adrian pursed his lips and looked at her seriously. "Don't you need to rest?"

"Adrian," Eva called his name. "I'm asking you a question."

After a long pause, Adrian finally nodded. "Almost."

"Almost?" Eva chuckled softly in response to this answer. "You don't know when your own grandmother passed away? What does 'almost' mean?" Adrian furrowed his brows. The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Jacob, who was sitting behind them, sat stiffly as if he was held in place, not daring to take a breath.

As expected, Ms. Hansen cared a lot about this matter. What was wrong with him? He had casually blurted it out like that.

"What's the matter? Can't speak?" Eva continued.

Adrian pressed his lips tightly, his expression unsightly.

He was already sick, vomiting blood. Yet because of her, he had been by her bedside without lying down to rest.

So now Adrian's face was almost ashen, his lips even a bit bluish. However, seeing him like this, Eva felt no sympathy.

She only cared about her grandmother!

"Speak up! When exactly was it?"

After a long while, Adrian finally managed to speak.

"On Christmas Eve three years ago, she had a sudden heart attack and couldn't be saved."

Eva's eyelashes trembled. "Grandma had a heart attack? How come I didn't know beforehand?"

This time, Adrian remained silent again.

Eva narrowed her brows and urged him, "Say something!"

But no matter how she questioned him this time, Adrian didn't speak again.

Finally, Jacob stepped in to break the awkwardness.

"Hansen, Ms. Hansen, don't get worked up. It's common for elderly people to have sudden heart attacks."

As expected, once he spoke, Eva's arrows were aimed at him. "What do you mean by 'common'? Do you think this is a common occurrence in your eyes?"

"You should leave first," Adrian spoke up in a timely manner.

Jacob, aware of his own mistake, didn't dare to linger anymore and apologized before leaving the room.

After he left, he thoughtfully closed the door to the ward.

The room fell into silence.

Adrian looked at Eva and calmly explained the situation at that time.

"Grandma was old and had been experiencing discomfort in her heart frequently. When we found out that night, she was immediately rushed to the hospital, but it was too late."

"Too late..." Eva lowered her eyes and suddenly laughed self-mockingly. "What right do I have to inquire about all this? When she was in pain, I wasn't even by her side. I couldn't even..."

She didn't know about the discomfort in her heart, even before she passed away... She didn't even get to see the elderly one last time. She feels really guilty for how good the old person treated her in the past.

And looking at her, Adrian couldn't say a word at the moment. Because he unexpectedly discovered that seeing her in pain was even more torturous than coughing up blood himself. It felt like someone had taken out his heart, crushed it, and repeatedly stabbed it with a dagger.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about their current relationship. "Before she passed away, she mentioned you."

Adrian's words made Eva suddenly look up at him. "Really?"

Adrian looked at her. "She missed you a lot."

With one sentence, tears instantly welled up in Eva's eyes, and then they couldn't be stopped. Her tears flowed uncontrollably, like a faucet that had been turned on, continuously streaming down. This scene finally made Adrian unable to resist reaching out and tightly embracing her in his arms.

Eva's crying was silent. She didn't push away Adrian either, as if she had lost all her strength, leaning there motionless and shedding tears.

Before long, Adrian could feel his shoulder becoming wet. He grimaced and felt like Eva was about to drain all her tears. After a while, he gently patted her shoulder. "It's alright, it's all in the past."

At the same time, after Michael picked up the two children and they got in the car, his phone rang. He didn't rush to start the car, but answered the call.

After hearing the content of the call, a hint of anger gradually appeared on his gentle face. But soon, he remembered that there were two little ones in the car, and he restored his original appearance. "Okay, I understand." After hanging up the phone, Ruby, who was in the back, leaned over and asked him, "Uncle Michael, what's the matter?"

"It's something related to work."

"Oh." The little girl obediently responded and then suggested, "Shall we go together to pick mommy up today?"

Go together to pick up Eva? If it were a normal day, he would definitely agree directly, as he also wanted to blend in with their family. But today... "Today, your mommy has something else to take care of, so I'll send you home first."

It was usually like this, so the two little ones didn't have any objections. However, after reaching their destination, David was already waiting downstairs. "Jack will take you upstairs, and once you're upstairs, you can do your homework and don't need to wait for me." Dylan looked up at him and asked, "Uncle Michael, aren't you coming upstairs with us?"

"Uncle still has some things to take care of, so I'll let David take you."

"Okay." David quickly came over and led the two little ones away. After saying goodbye to them, Michael drove away. He kept watching through the rearview mirror until David took the two of them upstairs, before finally retracting his gaze. At this moment, the gentleness on his face had completely disappeared, replaced by a stern coldness, and his gold-rimmed glasses concealed his eyes.

The coldness in his eyes.

He stepped on the accelerator, and the car accelerated directly off the runway.

After crying for an unknown length of time, Eva felt that her tears could no longer flow, and her lips were dry.

At this moment, a nurse came in to change Adrian's IV drip, and Eva remembered that he had been sick and collapsed from coughing up blood.

He was already a patient, yet she had relied on him and cried for a long time.

Finally, Eva regained her composure a little bit and got up. "I'm going to the restroom."

Afterwards, she didn't look at Adrian anymore and went straight to the restroom.

The restroom in the VIP ward was very clean, without any strange smell. Eva turned on the tap and washed her face carefully. Then she dried herself and stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself. Because she had cried, her eyes now looked red and swollen.

Thinking about what she had to do next, Eva wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes again.

When she opened the door and went out, Eva had already calmed down her emotions.
