Chapter 141 Did She Stall You On Purpose?

Adriana almost felt like… they really were a happy married couple.

Finistred

“You’re pregnant now, so try not to touch cold water, okay?” Curtis finished washing the dishes and dried Adriana’s hands with a paper towel.

“Okay…” Adriana nodded.

On the way to the hospital, Adriana kept sneaking glances at Curtis. He is really handsome…

Lately, Adriana often wondered what would have happened if she had met Curtis earlier in life. Would he have fallen for her?

“Curtis…The car pulled into a spot outside the hospital, near some food stalls. Adriana spotted grilled corn on the cob and tugged on Curtis’s sleeve. “Can I have one of those?”

Adriana had her own little plan… She wanted to stall a bit and not let Curtis see Cynthia too soon.

She figured Cynthia probably wasn’t in any real danger. She was just faking it.

Curtis nodded and took Adriana over to buy grilled corn on the cob.

He seemed willing to satisfy every small request she made.

With the hot grilled corn in hand, Adriana felt amazing, a smile lighting up her face.

Curtis held her hand as they walked toward the inpatient building. He could see exactly what Adriana was up to, yet he wasn’t planning on exposing her.

Meanwhile, in the hospital room, Cynthia lay in bed looking pale, and Belinda kept her head down, not looking up when Curtis came in,

Eva saw Curtis and explained the situation. The doctors are still checking what caused the bleeding. But so far, there’s nothing too concerning

Curtis nodded and walked to the bedside. “If you feel unwell anywhere, just let someone know.”

Cynthia’s eyes grew red. She looked up at Curtis, her voice edged with blame. “Why did you take so long to get here? Does my life not matter to you anymore?”

Seeing Cynthia’s agitation, Curtis lowered his voice to calm her. “Calm down. This is a hospital, and there are doctors here. There’s not much I can do.”

Cynthia shot Adriana a furious look.

Adriana froze for a second, then instinctively hid the grilled corn behind her back.

Once she’d hidden it, she suddenly thought, Why should I feel guilty? I’m Curtis’s wife. Even if it’s only a contract

marriage.

Did she stall you on purpose? Did she stop you from coming to see me? Curtis, you promised you’d always. be there for me!” Cynthia was so agitated that she pulled out her IV, letting blood stain the sheets.

Chapter 141 Did She Stall You On Purpose?

Finished

Adriana could see now that Cynthia’s condition really was serious. Bipolar disorder is probably one of the most dangerous mental illnesses…..

She suddenly regretted trying to stall Curtis. Maybe she really shouldn’t have.

Feeling guilty, Adriana bowed her head and said nothing.

“It has nothing to do with her.” Curtis stood in front of Adriana, blocking Cynthia’s view. “If your emotions stay unstable, I’ll have you sent to the sanatorium tomorrow.”

Curtis frowned. He’d only agreed to let Cynthia leave the sanatorium after confirming with the staff there that she was stable,

Now it was clear her condition was still serious.

Cynthia froze for a moment, then immediately tried to pull herself together.

She absolutely couldn’t go back to the sanatorium. If she did, Curtis would be completely taken away by that little vixen, Adriana.

“I’ll manage my emotions… Curtis, I’m scared… I really am. Will you stay with me? What if those people come after me again?” Cynthia clung tightly to Curtis’s wrist.

Just as Adriana expected, Cynthia still wanted to keep Curtis with her.

Adriana started to panic, too. She glanced at Curtis instinctively.

If Eva and Curtis both stayed, that meant she would have to sleep alone in the big, empty villa tonight.

Adriana really didn’t like such a big villa. It felt too empty… Without Curtis and Eva around, she felt totally unsafe.

“Eva and Belinda are both here. If anything happens, Eva will call me right away.” Curtis frowned, not giving in to Cynthia’s demands.

Cynthia pressed on. “But I only feel safe when you’re here.
