A ding sounded.
Logan's second text message was received.
"Adeline, don't worry. After Olivia told me, I immediately consulted a doctor. The doctor said that your condition has a high chance of conceiving naturally."
Staring at the words on the screen, Adeline felt her heart turning cold inch by inch.
That was her boyfriend of three years!
The man who had once risked his life to save her!
At that very moment, he was saying such selfish and incredibly irresponsible words!
In simple terms, he was coming back to have sex with her, to see if she could get pregnant. If she could, they would get married. If she couldn't, he wasn't making any losses as well.
Adeline replied word by word, "Logan, you are such a jerk. You are highly educated for nothing!"
After sending the message, she lie on the bed and began to cry.
If her boyfriend of three years was like that, what could she expect from a hastily married husband?
Knock, knock, came two polite taps on the door.
"It's me."
After that, a deep voice was heard.
Adeline wiped her tears and stood up, "Come in."
Only then did Curtis push his wheelchair in. He looked at her with a slightly cold gaze. When his eyes met her red ones, his expression changed momentarily, but in the next instant, he continued with a stern face, "I have something to ask you."
Adeline's heart skipped a beat and a wry smile tugged at her lips.
She thought to herself, "So, it had finally come to this?"
She sniffed and spoke slowly, "Well, I also have something to tell you."
Curtis couldn't wait for Adeline to explain and went straight to the point, "What were you planning to do if I hadn't arrived just now?"
His tone grew more intense with each word and it seemed that he was slightly losing control of his emotions.
Adeline froze, then lowered her head and pursed her lips, finding it difficult to speak.
"Were you thinking of killing yourself by banging your head against the wall... Am I right?" Curtis tightly gripped the wheelchair armrests, his voice almost squeezing through his clenched teeth. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
No one had any idea that when he had arrived at the alley and witnessed that scene, his heart almost stopped in fear!
He had been about to stand up at that moment. If Steffen hadn't held onto his shoulder, he was certain he would have lost control.
"Adeline Burton," Curtis called out.
Adeline was startled and her body froze.
Curtis had never addressed her by her full name before.
That was the first time she saw him being in such a stern manner.
"Did I or did I not tell you my stance on this matter the last time?"
"Did I or did I not tell you that even if something really happened, I wouldn't care? What I want is you, I want you to stay alive! I want you to take care of yourself at all times! If you die, there's nothing left! Who would I live with?"
Adeline stood rooted to the spot, feeling as if a massive hammer had struck her head, leaving her dazed.
She hadn't anticipated that the point of Curtis's anger was her suicidal thoughts!
Her tightly pressed lips quivered, tears falling relentlessly.
She was so overwhelmed by sadness that she couldn't even breathe.
She truly couldn't bear to part with Curtis. She didn't want to let go of someone so good to her!
Seeing tears streaming down from her face uncontrollably, Curtis's expression changed, and his heart, which had been hardened, began to ache.
"Damn it."
He inwardly cursed himself for being so weak, then he pushed his wheelchair over.
Before his wife could console him, he gave in first.
"Alright, stop crying. Promise me you won't do this again, and I'll forgive you."
His tone instantly softened.
General, who had witnessed this scene from outside the door, snorted as if it was too disapproved of his master's behavior.
Seeing his reaction, Adeline found it amusing yet still sad, which made her cry even harder.
Curtis reached out and stroked her head, "Alright, it's going to be okay. I've arranged for people to protect you discreetly."
Adeline was taken aback and then heard Curtis's gentle inquiry.
"Tell me, what happened? Why did you lose yourself and run around like that? I'm upset because you were in trouble and didn't come to me first. I feel like you don't trust me."
Adeline clenched her fists tightly and cautiously looked at Curtis.
"What if... What happened is related to you?"
"Then you should have asked me!" Curtis replied promptly.
Adeline swallowed nervously and forced herself to speak.
"I... I went for a gynecological examination, and the doctor said that most likely I can't have children."
