The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 469
Adriana didn't refuse. She slid straight into the back seat and snatched her phone back from Francesco's hand, teasing lightly, "Your service is pretty thorough. I'll look for you again next time I need it."Francesco's face darkened further and further. His hands tightened on the steering wheel so hard it looked like he might crush it.Adriana, on the other hand, felt inexplicably pleased.She absentmindedly rested a hand over her lower abdomen, thinking that with how many times it had happened last night, she wondered if she might actually get pregnant.Francesco was handsome, intelligent, and—more importantly—he was the man she liked. He was the perfect candidate to be the child's father.No matter where their relationship went in the future, she found herself strangely looking forward to that possibility.The car remained silent all the way.Francesco said nothing, his face dark and stormy, as if he were the one being wronged.The familiar, cold scent in the car lingered ar

"Adriana, let go."Francesco's voice was hoarse, strained. One hand pressed against the bed as the other tried to pull at the already disheveled bath towel around his waist.Beneath him, one of Adriana's dress straps had slipped down her arm, exposing pale skin.She made no attempt to cover herself. Instead, she hooked an arm around his neck and pulled herself up, meeting his tightly pressed lips in a kiss.In that brief moment of stunned hesitation, she tugged him down with her.As his burning body came crashing down onto hers, she yanked the bath towel from his waist and tossed it aside without a second thought.Her initiative was almost aggressively intense.Francesco's mind went blank for a heartbeat.When he finally reacted, he shoved her away, his voice low and rough."Adriana, you're drunk. I'll take you to Bianca's room."He tried to get up, but she clung to him like a gecko."I'm not drunk. Just a little tipsy."Her hands were anything but obedient, boldly teasing

"The surgery was a success, but the recovery afterward is slow. I've been running back and forth from the lab and taking so many leaves. Sorry for the trouble.""It's my honor that you're even willing to come to the lab. Even if you only show up once or twice a month, that's more than enough."Oliver seemed to think of something and added, "By the way, it's Scarlet's birthday the day after tomorrow. She asked me to invite you to her birthday banquet."Adriana smiled and gently declined. "I'm sorry, I still need to take care of Chris. I probably won't be able to make it. Please help me explain it to your sister."She wasn't close enough to Scarlet to warrant attending her birthday banquet.Moreover, after the last dinner, she felt a strong aversion to the way Scarlet looked at her—measuring, probing, as if she were being evaluated. So she used Chris as a convenient excuse and declined the invitation.Oliver lowered his eyes and smiled softly. "I'll explain it. You don't need to fe

Adriana returned home and opened the refrigerator to get some fruit, only to find it packed full.In addition to vegetables and meat, there were ready-to-eat meals, juice, and milk.She quickly checked the home surveillance footage and discovered that Francesco and Bianca had come by that evening. Everything in the refrigerator had been brought by them.So the person Alex had seen at the hospital… was really Francesco?After a brief hesitation, she made a video call to Bianca.The call had barely connected when Bianca asked excitedly, "Adriana, guess where I am!""Bianca, are you in Heatherton City?" Adriana asked."You got it!" Bianca laughed. "Cesco and I came to see you, but you weren't home."Adriana's fingernails dug into her phone case. Her heartbeat slowed slightly, almost unnaturally so."Is there something going on in Heatherton City?" she asked.Her tone carried a hint of tension and anticipation she herself didn't even notice.Bianca smiled. "Cesco said he's here

Adriana covered her mouth, laughing and crying at the same time.This was wonderful.For once, fate had finally shown her a little mercy.By the time the anesthesia wore off, evening had arrived.Chris still couldn't eat after the surgery, so the nurses had him on intravenous nutrition.Using a warm, damp towel, Adriana carefully wiped his face and hands."Adriana, thank you."A faint smile curved Chris's lips. For the first time in a long while, a trace of vitality returned to his pale face.Afraid that the pain from his incision might be unbearable, Adriana said softly, "How about I read to you?"Chris nodded and closed his eyes.Adriana opened the book to where she had left off and began reading aloud. Her voice was clear and steady. Every word was calm, deliberate, and reassuring.She focused on the text before her.Meanwhile, Chris quietly watched her.She was so absorbed in reading that she never noticed his gaze. Nor did she realize that someone else had appeared ou

Adriana always found a way to pull herself out of negativity.One of her methods was simple: fill her life to the brim until she was too busy to dwell on painful thoughts.Early the next morning, she arrived at Nash Hospital.Today was the day of Chris's heart transplant surgery.Adriana didn't ask about any of the medical details. She simply stayed by his side, quietly waiting with him.Since Chris had already made his choice, all she needed to do was accompany him."Chris, I'll be waiting for you outside."Instead, Chris was the one worrying about her."The surgery will probably take a long time. If you get tired, go home. I'll have Alex send you a message when it's over."Adriana looked at him."You don't want me to wait for you?"Chris took her hand.This time, Adriana didn't pull away."Adriana, if the surgery fails, don't be too sad. Just think of it as me finally finding relief."Before he could finish, he turned his head away. His eyes reddened instantly, and no m

Seeing the wicked glint at the corner of Francesco's eyes, a sense of foreboding rose in Adriana's chest.She lifted the binoculars. The moment the cross-river bridge came into view, she saw a figure climb over the unguarded end of the bridge and plunge into the river below.Even from a distance,

Dean's words struck Joan right where it hurt. She flung the binoculars in her hand to the floor."It's only been one day and two nights, and they already found her. You've disappointed me."Dean stubbed out his cigar and fixed her with a serious look. "Joan, don't tell me you were planning to use

If this were about money, Adriana had been missing for nearly two days. Chris's payment should have arrived by now—unless the price they demanded was one even he couldn't afford.The men guarding her remained silent throughout.Adriana felt despair settle in. Their professionalism was unmistakable

Chris frowned, eyes flicking between Adriana, Oliver on her left, and Francesco on her right.Oliver hurriedly explained, "Mr. Este is my guest. We're collaborating on a project."He had long sensed a tension between Chris and Francesco. It seemed the feeling was mutual—Francesco didn't look favor
