Chapter 446 Adeline is Faking Illness!
A loud bang rocked the whole villa.
With that bang, Jasper, who'd been all over Adeline, suddenly went limp and collapsed on her.
The sudden weight made Adeline's brows knit together.
Her hands were tied, so Adeline couldn't shake him off and had to let Jasper press against her as she looked towards the noise. She saw Lauren holding a metal box, panting like she'd run a marathon.
It was clear that the loud bang was from Lauren clocking Jasper on the head with the box.
Seeing Adeline look at her, Lauren's face turned even redder from nerves.
Lauren took a deep breath and then started yelling for help.
Soon, Alice showed up with the staff.
The doc who was staying at the villa to help Blake with his health also rushed down from upstairs.
Everyone teamed up to lift the knocked-out Jasper and lay him on the sofa.
Blake carefully untied the coat that was binding Adeline.
Lauren put down the metal box, walked over to Adeline, and silently reached out to hold her hand.
It was the doc who furrowed her brows and said, "Mr. Foster's condition seems a bit off."
She walked over, checked out Jasper's face, and then looked back at Adeline. "Looks like Mr. Foster took some kind of drug he shouldn't have."
Adeline furrowed her brows, soothingly patting Lauren and Blake on the head, while using her clothes to hide the kiss marks on her body.
Adeline asked, "What kind of drug?"
"I need to do more tests." Saying this, the doc pricked Jasper's finger and took some blood. "Hang tight for a bit."
Half an hour later, the doc looked up at Adeline. "After analyzing the components, it seems Mr. Foster took..."
She hesitated, glancing at Lauren and Blake beside Adeline.
Adeline sighed. "Spit it out."
She could already guess what type of drug it was.
No one knew better than her how much Jasper hated and was cold to her now.
Even after she had devotedly tended to him for three straight days, Jasper would still ignore her and promptly get up to seek his Luna. How could he suddenly have such thoughts about her? Without drugs, how could he be impulsive towards her?
Just like when they first got hitched, she was always the one initiating, always the one clinging to him to have kids. Jasper had never made the first move with her.
"It's a drug for treating male sexual dysfunction." The doc sighed and lowered her voice. "Couples trying to get pregnant usually use this drug to boost their chances."
Adeline closed her eyes. She let out a bitter laugh, picked up Lauren with one hand, and held Blake's hand with the other, heading upstairs.
"Alice, keep an eye on him. When he wakes up, let him leave on his own." She didn't want to look at Jasper anymore.
Adeline didn't know what went wrong, causing Jasper to take such a drug and not with the desire to be intimate with Luna at home, but to come to her instead.
However, what she did know was that Jasper barged into her office at midday and told her that his intentions of having a child with Luna were all a lie.
He even took the initiative to pop meds to boost fertility, all for the sake of having a kid with Luna!
Adeline recalled that after she married him, she had also bought such drugs on the doc's advice. The doc had said that if both husband and wife took it, it would increase the chances of pregnancy. But what happened? Jasper had tossed the drugs she bought into the trash, saying he didn't need them.
But now, not only did he take such drugs for Luna, but he also came to her before the drug kicked in, saying he never wanted to have kids with Luna!
Adeline figured he probably wanted to explain things to her and then head home to get it on with Luna. But the timing was all messed up, and that's why he had such a sexual impulse towards her. How ironic!
Lauren called, "Mommy."
Suddenly, Lauren's voice snapped Adeline out of her thoughts about Jasper.
Adeline furrowed her brows, looked down at Lauren in her arms, and tried to make her voice gentle. "What's up, sweetie?"
Lauren asked, "Does Daddy want to have another baby with Mommy?"
Lauren blinked her eyes and looked at Adeline.
Faced with Lauren's question, Adeline suddenly didn't know how to explain. She bit her lip and fell silent.
Adeline said, "Daddy might indeed want a child, but probably not with Mommy."
Blake sighed, holding Adeline's small hand tightly. "Mommy, don't be sad. You still have us."
Lauren, who was in Adeline's arms, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood. She bit her lip and buried her fluffy little head into Adeline's chest. "Mommy, Lauren will always love you."
Lauren thought, 'I would never like that rude and cruel Jasper who wants to have children with another woman again!'
Listening to Lauren and Blake's concerned words, Adeline sighed, took Lauren and Blake back to the kids' room, and patiently coaxed them to sleep.
By the time Blake and Lauren were sound asleep, more than an hour had passed.
Jasper was already gone from downstairs.
"Mr. Foster didn't say anything after waking up; he just drove away." Seeing Adeline come downstairs, Alice reported seriously, "But when he was outside, he asked me how you were. I said you were fine; he just smiled and said you must feel terrible, then left."
After hearing Alice's words, Adeline narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of coldness appearing at the corners of her lips. Indeed. She did feel terrible. Jasper knew her well.
"By the way." Adeline turned her head, as if remembering something, and looked back at Alice. "Go upstairs and call the doctor down."
Alice paused. "Why call the doctor?"
Alice thought, 'Blake is already asleep, isn't he?'
"I'm injured." Adeline chuckled lightly, turned around, and elegantly sat on the sofa, rolling up her left sleeve to reveal her smooth left arm. "I need to be bandaged."
When Jasper and Lucia were at the company, they had said her arm was injured, and Jasper was carrying her to the hospital for bandaging. So she had to make it look real and have the doctor bandage her to avoid being exposed.
Alice gave Adeline a suspicious look, then got up and went upstairs.
Half an hour later, Adeline returned to the design department. Her left arm was bandaged and fixed, hanging from her shoulder, and her face was extremely pale.
Seeing her like this, Anne, Timothy, and Robert quickly gathered around. "What happened to you?"
Adeline said, "I accidentally hit the easel and got hurt."
Adeline smiled at them and walked towards the office.
Amelia said, "Are you really hurt, or did you go do something shady with Mr. Foster?"
Amelia, seeing Adeline's appearance, felt more and more disgusted. Adeline hadn't been bleeding at all when Jasper carried her away, and now she had her arm bandaged like this?
Thinking of this, Amelia snorted coldly and stepped forward, her eyes coldly staring at Adeline's face. "Are you really hurt? Is there really a wound under that bandage? Didn't Lucia and Jasper go with you? So, did they just leave you and come back on their own?"
Amelia rolled her eyes. "Pretending to be sick is awful!!"
Luna had just walked into the design department when she heard Amelia's words. She furrowed her brows and walked in. "Amelia, what are you doing?"
Amelia said, "Nothing."
With Luna backing her up, Amelia became even more arrogant. "Adeline is pretending to be sick!"
