Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！

After saying this, Eva quickly grabbed her phone and left, completely ignoring the fact that Adrian, who had been emotionally pushed away without warning, stumbled a few steps and looked slightly disheveled. He stood in place, steadying himself for a good while before he managed to calm the nearly overwhelming emotions that had surged within him, along with the intense longing that gradually settled down. Afterward, he looked helplessly in the direction Eva had left and let out a long sigh.

Heartless, not even considering to push him gently.

Adrian had his grievances, but he couldn't bring himself to blame his woman, so at this moment, he could only redirect his annoyance toward the person who had called her. Who was so insensitive to call her at such a time?

Eva walked into the bedroom and answered the call from the person Adrian had mentally accused of being 'insensitive.'

With the year coming to an end, she was, nonetheless, excited to receive this call.

"Emily."

Although her memory hadn't fully returned, she had been chatting on the phone with Emily quite often recently, so their relationship had returned to its former closeness.

They had been close friends since their early years, so even a loss of memory couldn't suppress their subconscious reliance on each other.

During this time, Eva also learned about another person, Lisa.

Lisa was also one of her friends, only according to Emily, Lisa was someone she met abroad, whereas she and Emily had known each other since their school days in their home country. But subconsciously, Eva still relied more on Emily.

And perhaps out of jealousy, Emily would occasionally say to her,

"I'm the one who's been by your side the longest; you better not forget me because of someone else."

Whenever this happened, Eva would comfort her, "Look, even though I've lost my memory, I haven't forgotten you."

Emily scoffed, "You clearly forgot about me. If I hadn't called you, you wouldn't even remember who I am."

"Ah, well, it's no use talking about it now since you don't have your old memories," Emily would relent.

The two would pull at each other for a bit before moving on to other topics, not dwelling too much on these matters.

But recently, Eva really enjoyed talking and sharing the trivialities of daily life with her.

From major company issues to minor details like what she ate today and what she did, they got along very well.

Today's call was the happiest Eva had taken in a while, and right after greeting her, she asked, "Emily, it's the end of the year; are you coming back?"

On the other end of the phone, Emily clicked her tongue, "I wanted to surprise you, but it seems impossible to keep it a secret at the end of the year. Everyone's asking me the same question, sigh..." Hearing her plaintive tone, Eva couldn't help but chuckle.

"Isn't that normal? After all, everyone goes home for the New Year."

"Who says? There were times I didn't go home because I was too busy with work, trying to earn more money..."

Emily's voice trailed off, "Never mind, let's not talk about that."

Just as Eva was about to say something, she heard what seemed like an airport announcement in the background, and she was a bit surprised.

"Are you at the airport?"

"Yeah." Emily nodded as she looked around, her gaze coincidentally meeting Yvette's.

Yvette, bumping into her gaze, immediately bared her teeth in a sweet smile.

Emily also curved her lips slightly, "I'm about to board soon, wait for me to come back, okay?" "Sure."

Thinking of something, Emily added, "But don't wait up for me today; I'll definitely arrive at night."

Considering the long duration of international flights, Emily didn't expect to see Eva today; by the time she arrived, it would be the middle of the night. She planned to stay at a hotel near the airport for the night and then meet her, fresh and renewed, along with her family, the next day.

"At night?"

After asking for her flight number and checking, Eva suggested, "Then I'll pick you up tonight."

"Don't bother."

Emily immediately refused, "I'll be arriving in the middle of the night. You should rest well; we'll meet tomorrow."

Reluctantly, Eva pursed her lips and smiled, not insisting further.

"Alright, I need to get ready to board now; I'll call you tomorrow."

"Safe travels."

After hanging up the phone, Emily had just put away her device when Yvette leaned in close.

"Emily, was that your friend?"

After a moment of serious thought, Emily replied, "A very good sister of many years."

"Someone you met during your student days?"

"Yeah."

Yvette showed an envious expression.

"That's nice. I barely talk to anyone I knew from my student days anymore."

Emily chuckled lightly.

"Isn't that the case for everyone? Most people lose touch, it's just this one that's stayed."

After entering the workforce, who still remembered their friends from their student days? Especially after getting married, the number of friends around you tended to decrease. Everyone had their own busy lives, and it was considered lucky to remember to send a greeting or a blessing during the holidays.

After chatting about this and that for a while, they went their separate ways upon boarding.

Because they didn't purchase adjacent seats and had different destinations after landing, Emily planned to sleep in a nearby hotel, while Yvette was to be picked up by her family.

So, Emily decided not to accompany Yvette. After getting off the plane, she would head straight to the nearby hotel to shower and rest.

Emily had an extremely uncomfortable flight. It was a very long journey with a lengthy layover in between, and to top it off, the airplane food was unappetizing. So, by the time she arrived domestically, she didn't look too well. Yvette specifically waited for her in the corridor when disembarking.

"Your complexion doesn't look good; did you get airsick?"

Emily waved her off, "No, just tired."

"Ah," Yvette sighed, "I also feel quite tired. My family's car is already here. Why don't you join us, and we'll drop you off?"

Emily didn't like to trouble others unless they were very close.

She hadn't known Yvette for long, and it was likely they wouldn't keep in touch afterwards. It didn't seem right to trouble her unnecessarily at this point.

So, she quickly declined.

"No need. The hotel I booked is close by; it's just a cab ride away. It would be too much trouble for you guys to drop me off."

But Yvette was very enthusiastic.

"Not at all, I'm just worried about you because you look pale; I don't want anything to happen to you."

Emily was about to say something else when her phone rang.

"Sorry, I need to take this call; you go ahead. I'm really fine."

However, Yvette shook her head and stubbornly stood in place.

With no other option, Emily pulled out her phone and was somewhat shocked to see that the caller was Eva. "Hello?"

"Ms. Jones, I've seen that your flight has landed; I'm waiting for you at the exit."
