\n**Chapter 141 Did She Stall You On Purpose?**<\/p>\n
Adriana couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that, in this moment, they truly resembled a blissfully married couple.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re pregnant now, so please avoid cold water, alright?\u201d Curtis said, his voice gentle yet firm as he finished washing the dishes. He took a paper towel and delicately dried Adriana\u2019s hands, his touch sending a warm shiver up her spine.<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay\u2026\u201d Adriana replied, a hint of a smile creeping onto her lips.<\/p>\n
As they drove toward the hospital, Adriana\u2019s eyes kept darting over to Curtis. He really was strikingly handsome, with those deep-set eyes that seemed to hold a world of kindness.<\/p>\n
Lately, Adriana often found herself lost in thought, contemplating what might have transpired had she crossed paths with Curtis earlier in her life. Would he have fallen for her then? Would their lives have taken a different trajectory?<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis\u2026\u201d she began as the car pulled into a parking spot outside the hospital, conveniently located near a cluster of food stalls. Her gaze landed on a vendor selling grilled corn on the cob, and without thinking, she tugged playfully on Curtis\u2019s sleeve. \u201cCan I have one of those?\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana had concocted a little scheme in her mind. She wanted to delay their visit, to keep Curtis from seeing Cynthia too soon.<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
Deep down, she was convinced that Cynthia was merely putting on a show. There was no real danger; it was all an act.<\/p>\n
Curtis nodded, a soft smile playing on his lips as he led Adriana over to the vendor. He seemed eager to indulge her every whim, no matter how small.<\/p>\n
With a steaming ear of grilled corn in her hand, Adriana felt a rush of joy, the simple pleasure of the moment illuminating her face.<\/p>\n
As they strolled toward the inpatient building, Curtis held her hand, his grip reassuring. He was fully aware of Adriana\u2019s intentions, yet he chose to remain silent, allowing her to play her little game.<\/p>\n
Inside the hospital room, however, the atmosphere was heavy. Cynthia lay in bed, her complexion pale as a ghost, while Belinda kept her gaze fixed on the floor, avoiding eye contact as Curtis entered.<\/p>\n
Eva noticed Curtis\u2019s arrival and quickly filled him in on the situation. \u201cThe doctors are still investigating the cause of the bleeding, but so far, there\u2019s nothing too alarming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis nodded, his expression serious as he approached Cynthia\u2019s bedside. \u201cIf you feel unwell at all, please let someone know,\u201d he instructed, his voice steady but laced with concern.<\/p>\n
Cynthia\u2019s eyes glistened with unshed tears, and she looked up at him, her tone laced with accusation. \u201cWhy did you take so long to get here? Do I not matter to you anymore?\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis, sensing her agitation, lowered his voice, attempting to soothe her. \u201cCalm down. We\u2019re in a hospital, and the doctors are here to help. There\u2019s not much I can do right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cynthia shot a fiery glare at Adriana, her resentment palpable.<\/p>\n
Adriana felt a jolt of panic, freezing momentarily before instinctively hiding the grilled corn behind her back.<\/p>\n
Once the corn was concealed, a thought struck her: Why should I feel guilty? I\u2019m Curtis\u2019s wife, even if it\u2019s just a contract marriage.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid she stall you on purpose? Did she stop you from coming to see me? Curtis, you promised you would always be here for me!\u201d Cynthia\u2019s voice rose, filled with desperation as she yanked out her IV, blood seeping onto the sheets.<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s heart sank as she realized the gravity of Cynthia\u2019s condition. Bipolar disorder was no trivial matter; it could be perilous.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, she regretted her earlier decision to delay Curtis. Maybe she truly shouldn\u2019t have tried to stall him.<\/p>\n
Feeling a wave of guilt wash over her, Adriana lowered her head, words escaping her.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has nothing to do with her,\u201d Curtis interjected, stepping in front of Adriana as if to shield her from Cynthia\u2019s fiery gaze. \u201cIf your emotions remain unstable, I\u2019ll have you sent back to the sanatorium tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis\u2019s brow furrowed deeply. He had only agreed to let Cynthia leave the sanatorium after ensuring she was stable, and now it was painfully clear that her condition was still precarious.<\/p>\n
Cynthia froze for a heartbeat, her mind racing. She couldn\u2019t go back to the sanatorium. The thought alone sent a chill down her spine\u2014if she did, Curtis would be completely swept away by that little vixen, Adriana.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll manage my emotions\u2026 Curtis, I\u2019m scared\u2026 I really am. Will you stay with me? What if those people come after me again?\u201d Cynthia clutched Curtis\u2019s wrist tightly, her vulnerability laid bare.<\/p>\n
Adriana felt a surge of panic. Just as she had feared, Cynthia was intent on keeping Curtis by her side.<\/p>\n
She stole a glance at Curtis, her heart racing.<\/p>\n
If both Eva and Curtis remained, she would be left alone in the vast, empty villa tonight.<\/p>\n
Adriana detested the idea of being in that large house all by herself. It felt too desolate\u2026 Without Curtis and Eva around, she felt utterly exposed, as if shadows lurked in every corner.<\/p>\n
\u201cEva and Belinda are both here. If anything happens, Eva will call me immediately,\u201d Curtis replied, his expression resolute as he stood firm against Cynthia\u2019s pleas.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I only feel safe when you\u2019re here,\u201d Cynthia pressed, desperation creeping into her voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll have Kenneth keep watch outside your door so you can sleep soundly,\u201d Curtis assured her, his tone unwavering.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy can\u2019t it be you? You used to stay with me in the hospital. Is it because of her?\u201d Cynthia\u2019s confusion was evident. In the past, Curtis would have jumped at the chance to stay by her side, but now he seemed unyielding.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s right. My wife is pregnant, and I don\u2019t feel comfortable leaving her alone at night,\u201d Curtis stated plainly, his priorities unmistakably shifted.<\/p>\n
What had once revolved around obligations and Cynthia\u2019s needs had now transformed into a clear focus on Adriana.<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s heart raced as she processed his words\u2026<\/p>\n
If this continues, I might truly fall for him.<\/p>\n

The hospital room, once a sanctuary for Cynthia\u2019s fears and insecurities, now felt like a battleground where love and loyalty were being tested.

Adriana grappled with the conflicting desires to protect her newfound happiness while recognizing the fragility of the situation, feeling the weight of responsibility for both women in this tangled web of emotions.<\/p>\n

The journey ahead would not be easy, but the clarity of Curtis\u2019s priorities illuminated a path forward.
