Chapter 69

Author: Chronos
The man's smile was confident, as if he were used to bringing beautiful women to these kinds of parties. But after a few rounds of wine, most men forget not only themselves, but also the women they brought along.

"The wine here isn't sold commercially, miss. You might as well have a few more glasses."

Adriana shifted slightly in her seat. "Sorry, I can't drink any more."

"Miss, do me a favor," the man insisted, draping an arm over her shoulder and tipping the wine toward her lips.

  • The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband   Chapter 567

    Adriana stood up and said apologetically to Alex, "Sorry to trouble you so late at night, Alex.""We're good friends. There's no need to say that. Let's get the children settled in the ward first."Alex helped Adriana carry one of the children and escorted them to a VIP room. He also arranged for two nurses to stay dedicated to monitoring the children's condition."Adriana, children with fevers can become restless and fussy. Why don't you leave them to the nurses and get some rest in the room next door?"At a time like this, how could Adriana possibly think about resting? It wasn't a serious illness, but until the children's fever went down, she couldn't feel at ease."No, thank you. I'll stay with them.""Alright then. I'm on duty at the hospital tonight. Call me if anything happens."Alex opened the door and stepped out, only to run into Francesco, who had just finished the admission procedures and was rushing back.Francesco looked hurried.The moment he entered the ward, h

    Francesco tightened his grip around her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze."It'll be okay," he said in a low voice.Adriana wanted to pull her hand away, but she didn't move. It was as if her body no longer obeyed her.Only when Maeve whimpered weakly in her arms did she suddenly snap back to reality. She quickly lowered her head and gently touched the baby's burning forehead."Maeve, Mommy is here. Don't be afraid."Maeve's delicate, fair little face was flushed red. Her breathing was heavy, making her look painfully pitiful.Adriana's voice choked as tears instantly blurred her vision. At times like this, she missed her mother more than ever. If her mother were still alive, she would have taught her how to be a good mother. She would have told her exactly what to do in moments like this.A hand suddenly reached over.Francesco's fingertip brushed against her cheek, wiping away her tears. His voice was close by."I'm here. Don't be afraid."Adriana gave a muffled "mm" and hug

    The car had barely left the surrounding neighborhood when, before it even made the turn, Francesco's phone began ringing urgently.The words "Love" flashed on the screen.His heart tightened. He immediately answered."Adriana, what happened?"Adriana had blocked him. If she wasn't calling, it had to be something serious."The children have a high fever. Can you come back?"Before she could finish, Francesco had already blurted out an order to Daniel."Turn around! Hurry!"Then he softened his voice."Adriana, don't panic. I'll be downstairs in two minutes."Daniel silently stepped harder on the accelerator, speeding up.When the car arrived downstairs at the residential complex, exactly two minutes had passed.Francesco pushed open the door and strode inside.The moment he entered, he ran straight into Adriana and Heidi, who were rushing out with the children in their arms.He took the girl from Adriana's embrace.He didn't even have time to look carefully before turning

    Francesco froze. He lifted a hand, touched his chin, and leaned back into his seat.So she was interrogating him.He had thought she was taking advantage of being drunk to act recklessly."It wasn't me."He denied it without hesitation.Anna hadn't betrayed him, so he certainly wasn't about to betray himself.If Adriana found out about that matter, he would be finished.Then he asked, "Why did Anna secretly photograph your children?"Adriana watched him closely. She couldn't detect anything unusual from his expression, but the suspicion in her heart did not disappear.Francesco was too calculating. Too cunning. Otherwise, how could he have severed ties with the massive Este family in such a short period of time?She shook her head."I don't know. But I suspect she has some connection with the Este family. You angered Isabel. She might be trying to vent her anger on me and hurt my children."Whether or not Anna had acted under Francesco's orders, she needed to tell him this.

    The female designated driver, who had been silently watching the drama unfold, couldn't help but ask, "Young man, do you still need my services or not?"Max gave her Adriana's address."Just take the car there."But the next moment, he changed his mind. He handed the driver some money."Forget it. Just leave it here."The driver accepted the payment without comment, parked the car, and left.…Inside the back seat of the Maybach, Adriana put her phone back into her bag and closed her eyes.When Francesco had sent Bianca home before, he had been to her residential complex and knew where it was.Francesco turned his head to look at her.Her fair cheeks were flushed pink from the alcohol.Perhaps because she didn't want to share the same space with him, her slender brows were slightly drawn together, her red lips pressed into a thin line, and her displeasure was written clearly across her face.He asked softly, "Why did you get yourself drunk alone?"Adriana didn't answer. Sh

    Adriana sobered up halfway from the shock and glared at the furious man standing before her."Francesco, what are you doing?!"Francesco gritted his teeth, forcing out a cold laugh."What are you doing?"She knew she couldn't hold her liquor, yet she had gone out drinking alone. And after getting drunk, she had allowed a strange man to hold onto her and act so familiar.If he hadn't happened to come across them, who knew what might have happened?Max covered the swollen side of his face and stepped protectively in front of Adriana."If you have a problem, take it up with me. Don't yell at Adriana."The youthful face that usually carried an easygoing smile now looked fierce, his eyes burning with anger. The way he shielded Adriana was so natural and forceful that he looked nothing like a stranger.Francesco's handsome face darkened, and an icy aura radiated from him."When did you two meet?"Max assumed this man was one of Adriana's ex-husbands and had deliberately come to ca

    Adriana dragged her exhausted body home, barely responding as Chris's voice called after her without even looking up.Resigning from her job was out of the question. She couldn't miss the chance to study and work in the lab. If she could develop an intelligent device that allowed Chris to walk norm

    Adriana pulled Edward into the hospital room, shooting Joan a sharp, dissatisfied glance."Why did you bring him here?" she demanded.It was so conspicuous, as if she wanted everyone to know."He's Chris's child. If anything were to happen to Chris—""Shut up!" Adriana's voice cut through the ai

    Adriana was closer to Chris. Before the German Shepherd could tackle him, she stepped in front of him."Adriana!"Several voices cried out at once as everyone rushed forward.Joan ran straight to Chris. "Chris, are you okay?"Chris pushed her aside and asked urgently, "Adriana, are you hurt?"A

    "We haven't even been at the hospital long. How did your family find out so fast?""Someone must have told my dad. They said I publicly humiliated and scolded Chris yesterday."Adriana sensed something was wrong and immediately called Chris's assistant."If anyone asks, tell them that Chris went
