Chapter 478

Author: Chronos
When Adriana returned, her eyes were red, and she was clutching a lab report tightly in her hand.

Leaning half-reclined on the hospital bed, Bella immediately tensed when she saw Adriana enter in such a dazed state.

"Adriana, what happened?"

Adriana opened her mouth, but her throat felt as if something had lodged inside it. Not a single word came out.

She stiffly handed over the report.

Bella took it, leaning in to read it carefully, afraid she might have misread something.

    Adriana: [I call that killing two birds with one stone.]As she sent the message, she made no effort to hide it from Heidi. In fact, she deliberately angled the screen toward her so they could read it together.After reading the exchange, Heidi asked worriedly, "Will Master Chris's health really recover?"Although Chris had made some foolish mistakes in the past, she had watched him grow up. Ever since his car accident, she had been worrying about him constantly."It definitely will."Setting down her phone, Adriana spoke with complete certainty."Alex has been coordinating a customized treatment plan for him with some of the world's top medical experts. He's already much better than before.""Then tomorrow, I'll go to the estate and prepare his bedroom. There are servants there, but I'm worried they won't be attentive enough.""That was actually my plan too, but I was afraid it would be too much work for you.""It's not work at all. Master Chris has always been particular abo

    Adriana froze for a moment before the corners of her lips lifted slightly. There was little real amusement in her eyes."Bianca, Sophia and I can't be friends. I'm sorry."She held no hostility toward Sophia. Yet whenever she saw her, memories inevitably surfaced—memories of the wounds Francesco had left behind.She was only an ordinary person. She simply couldn't calmly face her ex-husband's current wife.A trace of confusion flashed across Bianca's face, but when she noticed Adriana's expression darken, she quickly apologized."I'm sorry."Adriana squeezed her hand gently and said in a soft voice, "Bianca, you don't need to apologize. This has nothing to do with you."Beside them, Oliver stepped in at just the right moment."Bianca, stop introducing so many friends to Adriana. Otherwise, she won't have any time left to hang out with us."Realization immediately dawned on Bianca.So Adriana already had too many friends, and her good intentions had only created trouble.What

    On Monday, Adriana went to the laboratory as usual.The moment Oliver saw her, he frowned, looking utterly helpless."You have maternity leave anyway. Why not stay home and get some proper rest instead of coming here and wearing yourself out?""I want to save my maternity leave for after the babies are born so I can spend more time with them."Adriana walked past him and settled into her chair behind the desk.As her body grew heavier by the day, her feet had begun to swell. She could no longer stand for long periods, and even sitting down took noticeably more effort than before."Besides the government-mandated maternity leave, our company also provides additional internal leave. Altogether, it's more than enough time for you to rest.""Oliver, please stop trying to persuade me."Adriana looked up, her gaze unwavering."No one cares more about these two children than I do. If I ever feel that I can't continue working, I'll take leave on my own."Oliver sighed. Knowing there

    "It's no trouble at all. I take care of Bianca because we're friends, not because she's your sister," Adriana said lightly, her tone distant and her expression unchanged, as though she were speaking to nothing more than an ordinary acquaintance.Nothing cut deeper than such calm, polite detachment. No anger, no accusation—even disappointment was absent.Francesco would have rather she shouted at him, even if it meant a full-blown argument. At least that would have proven she still cared.But he knew Adriana was not that kind of person.If she was truly heartbroken, she would only leave in silence."Adriana, can you peel me an apple?"Chris's voice from the screen interrupted his thoughts, warm and natural, almost intimate."Alright. Bianca, what fruit do you want?" Adriana replied.She picked up a fruit knife and lowered her head to peel an apple for Chris, treating Francesco as though he were completely invisible.Keeping distance was her way of protecting herself.Now that

    Adriana looked at Bianca, who had instinctively moved to hide behind her, and gently took the girl's hand, signaling her not to be afraid."Chris, Bianca is the only one who came to Heatherton City. She'll be staying at the Stanley residence from now on," she said calmly. "You should know her situation. She's new here and needs company from someone she trusts. I can't just ignore her."Bianca's mental age was only that of a child. No one could remain indifferent to a child asking for help.Besides, it had been Bianca who had once taken her in at the Este family castle, protecting her in her own way."Come in first," Chris said after a brief pause, his expression softening as he stepped into the ward."Bianca, let's go in," Adriana said, holding her hand as she followed behind him.Bianca stayed unusually quiet, seemingly still shaken by Chris's earlier reaction.Chris glanced at her timid expression and then handed her the snacks Adriana had left in the room."Take whatever you

    The plane landed in Heatherton City late at night, and a driver took them back to the Stanley residence.Richard had been traveling back and forth and was exhausted, so he went straight to his room to rest, leaving Bianca in the care of the servants.Everything had been arranged in advance, so Bianca could go straight to bed after a shower.At this hour, she would normally already be asleep. But tonight, she lay awake for a long time.She had always come to Heatherton City with Francesco before. This was the first time she had arrived alone.Along with excitement came an unfamiliar sense of nervousness and fear. She stared at the soft yellow bedside lamp, quietly crying, and secretly sent several messages on her phone.Adriana saw Bianca's messages the next morning.Bianca: [I'm at Papa Richard's house, but I'm a little scared.]Bianca: [If you see this, can you come keep me company?]Bianca: [I kind of miss Cesco. He used to always be with me.]After checking the time the me

    Until the end of the next workday, Adriana hadn't received a reply from Chris.She had dinner with Oliver, and on the way home, she saw Joan and her son on a video call in the living room."Chris, I want a toy.""Alright. Tell your mom what New Year's gift you want."Chris's voice was clear, tho

    After a while, Eileen returned to find Adriana."Francesco wants me to take you over," Eileen said.Adriana happened to be alone, and unease churned in her chest.She followed Eileen down the long corridor into the room opposite.Compared to the quiet chatter of the previous room, this one was l

    Two tall, imposing bodyguards stood outside the door, guns holstered at their hips.When Francesco approached, one of them stepped forward respectfully to open the door for him.Adriana barely dared to breathe as she nervously stepped into the spacious room.Ever since the time she had been kidna

    Francesco sent Adriana a location from the airport.Francesco: [Arrive before 10 a.m. Private jet.]He didn't mention who would be traveling with her—probably couldn't be bothered.Adriana checked with the company. Charlie confirmed that she would be the only one officially on the trip, though th
