Chapter 460 Taking You Home for Recovery
"Eva, time to eat."
Since she had promised him earlier, Eva got out of bed with his help and came to
the table.
Michael Cooper served her some mashed potatoes and placed them in front of
her.
"Here you go."
"Thank you."
Eva took the bowl as Michael Cooper handed her a spoon.
Looking at the full meal before her, she eventually picked up just a mouthful of
mashed potato with her spoon and put it into her mouth.
The mashed potato was tasteless, and she didn’t know if it was just her, but it
felt somewhat bitter.
Meanwhile, Michael Cooper, seeing that she was only eating mashed potatoes
and not touching other foods, put some meat into her bowl.
Eva couldn't refuse in time.
"Eat more nutritious food, don't just have potatoes."
"Thank you…"
Eva nodded.
For some reason, looking at the food he had put into her bowl made her feel
nauseous, but she braced herself and started to eat.
"Ugh..."
But as soon as the food reached her mouth, Eva involuntarily retched, putting
down the bowl and spoon on the table, and then quickly covered her mouth and
ran towards the bathroom.
"Eva!"
Michael Cooper was startled by her reaction and immediately got up to follow
her.
Eva slumped over the bathroom sink and vomited, but couldn't throw up
anything because she hadn't eaten, and within a few moments, her forehead was
covered in cold sweat.
She lay there miserably, on the verge of throwing up bile, but her stomach was
empty, so she just kept dry heaving.
Michael Cooper watched the scene, feeling an unbearable discomfort in his heart,
wishing he could take all her suffering upon himself.
But he couldn't do anything except gently pat Eva's back. After a long while, Eva
finally calmed down, but she was completely drained of strength and almost
slumped to the floor against the wall.
Quick to react, Michael Cooper scooped her up and carried her out of the
bathroom.
"Are you alright?"
However, at this moment, Eva was unable to utter even half a word in response
to his concern.
She closed her eyes, looking extremely fatigued.
Not wanting to disturb her further, Michael Cooper laid her on the bed and
tucked her in.
"Stinks..."
She lay in bed and suddenly muttered something faintly.
"What?" Michael Cooper didn't catch it clearly and bent closer to hear what she
was saying.
"Stinks."
Eva repeated.
This time Michael Cooper heard clearly: "What stinks?"
Eva pointed towards where the food was set, and only then did Michael Cooper
realize, and he went over to smell the food that had been in her bowl.
But the smell was that of normal food, with no foul odor.
Yet, she had felt it smelled bad, even wanting to vomit...
With this thought, Michael Cooper furrowed his brows and looked at her,
wondering if her sense of taste was off.
"Krister, take all this food away."
Krister had been outside the door, he had heard the commotion inside, but he
didn't know what was going on. Now that Michael Cooper called him in to
remove the food, he entered quietly and asked softly, "Mr. Cooper, is there
something wrong with the food I bought?"
"It doesn't agree with her stomach; take it away for now, we'll talk about it later."
"Alright."
After the food was removed, Michael Cooper also opened the window to air out
the room. Soon the hospital room's air was fresh again, and Eva's complexion
seemed slightly better.
"Feeling any better?"
Eva nodded weakly.
"Was it the smell of that food that made you feel uncomfortable?" Michael
Cooper sat on the edge of the bed and asked softly.
Eva continued to nod: "Yes, the smell made me want to vomit."
"Shall I have someone bring you something else to eat later?"
Eva agreed.
Michael Cooper quickly went out to give instructions.
He also shared his concerns with Krister, asking him to check what tests Eva
might need. After hearing this, Krister also furrowed his brows.
In the evening, Eva’s appetite was still not great. Although she did not vomit
after eating, she didn’t want to eat after just a few bites.
Michael Cooper couldn’t stand to see her eat so little, so after she put down her
bowl, he took the initiative to scoop some oatmeal, cooled it, and brought it to
her lips.
"Eva, sweetheart, can you eat a bit more?"
Eva frowned and shook her head at the food that was brought to her mouth,
showing a look of disgust, "I don't want to eat anymore."
"You ate too little earlier, you'll be hungry at night. Just one more bite?"
Eva closed her eyes, ignoring him completely.
"Eva?"
Eva simply turned away.
Left with no choice, Michael Cooper continued to coax her, but no matter what
he said, Eva refused to eat anything else.
Finally, Michael Cooper had to put down the bowl and called David to inquire
about Eva's food intake over the past couple of days.
The answer he got was that Eva had barely eaten anything due to anxiety. On
the plane, she forced herself to eat a bit, and on the day they left, she had half a
glass of beer.
Hearing that she hadn't eaten much and had even drunk a small amount of beer
made Michael Cooper feel a headache coming on.
He feared that she might have damaged her stomach by drinking ice-cold beer
and now doesn’t feel like eating because of it.
Perhaps, he thought, he should take her for a check-up for a potential stomach
ailment.
Later, Michael Cooper wanted to ask her if she had any discomfort in the
stomach, but before he could speak, Eva had already fallen asleep leaning
against the bed.
“Michael Cooper asked Krister to have a snack ready for Eva, just in case she
got hungry later in the night.
However, it was all for naught as Eva slept heavily throughout the night without
waking up once.
When she woke up the next day, Michael Cooper brought her half a glass of
water to drink, which Eva sipped.
"Thank you."
After returning the cup to him, Eva asked, recalling something, "There shouldn't
be anything wrong with my body, right? Can I be discharged today?"
Upon hearing this, Michael Cooper paused,
"Discharged? Why are you in such a hurry to leave the hospital?"
"No, I just don't like staying in hospitals."
After pondering for a moment, Michael Cooper nodded: "Alright, I will consult
with the doctor later to see how your condition is. If he says it's fine, I will take
you home for recovery."
Home?
Eva didn’t say anything and waited for him to consult with the doctor. When he
returned, he said she could be discharged and then arranged for someone to
escort her out.
Michael Cooper took her back to their previous residence.
The room where Eva had fallen previously had been locked by his orders, and no
one was allowed near it. He then arranged Eva's room on the other side and
planned to move there himself.
All the attendants at home were well managed, and none would speak out of
turn.
"After we get back, I’ll have them make something delicious for you. What
would you like to eat today?"
