The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband의 모든 챕터: 챕터 261 - 챕터 270

Adriana couldn't find a reason to refuse Francesco. After all, they saw each other constantly in their daily lives."If you don't mind, you're welcome to join us," she said.Chris stepped up beside her. "In that case, I'll host."…What had originally been intended as a small dinner to cheer up Daisy ended up expanding into a group of five, and the atmosphere shifted instantly.The group arrived at the restaurant and, in the parking lot, unexpectedly ran into two familiar figures.Dean and Joan.Daisy's face paled slightly. She suppressed her anger and forced a strained smile."Dean, what are you doing here with Joan?""We just happened to run into each other. Didn't expect to see you all here either—what a coincidence."Dean's expression remained calm. Since he and Joan had driven separately, his explanation sounded reasonable enough.Joan stepped forward with a smile. "What a lively gathering. Since we've run into each other, why don't we eat together? I've been craving th

Seated in Adriana's car, Daisy leaned weakly against the seatback."Adriana, just take me home. There's no need to go to the hospital."She had already vomited everything out in the restroom earlier—right down to the bitter taste in her throat. Adriana, however, couldn't feel at ease."Daisy, please just listen to me this once."At home, only the servants were present. If she didn't speak up, no one would even ask how she was doing."I know my own body," Daisy said softly. "It's more of a problem of the heart."Recently, she had been nauseous often. She suspected it was the medication she had been taking—too much of it had likely irritated her stomach."Whatever it is, we'll go to the hospital first and get it checked," Adriana said firmly.She pressed the accelerator and drove Daisy straight to Nash Hospital.They first checked her gastrointestinal system. After asking a few questions and conducting a basic examination, the doctor recommended that they proceed to gynecology.

Adriana froze for a moment. "How many months along is she?""Over three months. But the fetal condition isn't stable. She should come back to the hospital for a more detailed examination.""Alright. Thank you, Alex."Still shaken, Adriana ended the call. Dean had weak sperm motility—this child had not come easily. Yet of all times, it had to be now. If only it had come a few years earlier.And Daisy hadn't told her about it—she had no idea what she was planning.Adriana couldn't bring herself to ask directly. She could only wait. If Daisy had truly decided not to divorce, then having a child… might not be a bad thing.With her thoughts in turmoil, she hurried to Bella's bridal fitting appointment.Bella had asked her to come keep her company while she tried on wedding dresses—she wanted to surprise Mr. Smile on their wedding day.When Adriana arrived at the boutique, Bella was already browsing the gowns.Seeing the happiness on her face helped ease Adriana's mood slightly."H

Adriana walked to the bedside and said softly, "Daisy, get up and have something to eat.""Adriana, when did you get here?"Daisy looked at her blankly, as if she had just drifted back from another world. The servants had said she had been out of it lately—no matter what anyone said, it often took several repetitions before she would respond."I just got here. I wanted to have breakfast with you. Can I open the curtains?" Adriana asked.Daisy nodded and pushed herself up with both hands.Adriana drew the curtains open. Morning light poured into the bedroom, dispersing the heavy gloom. On the bedside table sat a bottle of medication. She recognized it—it was for insomnia.When she first married Chris, she had gone through nights of sleeplessness herself. The doctor had prescribed her the very same medication. But it was habit-forming if taken too long. Only later, when she gradually accepted reality, did her insomnia truly improve from the root.Daisy slowly got dressed. She look

Back at the lab, Adriana shared her discovery with Oliver."Do you think Dean might be keeping a mistress?" she asked.Oliver's brows tightened. "It's possible. Aunt Daisy said Dean hasn't been coming home much lately."Adriana fell into thought. If that was true, then Daisy's recent emotional decline made sense.But even if they knew the truth, if Daisy refused to leave Dean, there was nothing they could do."Let her decide for herself," she said.She was not Daisy. She could never truly understand her.Just as when Joan appeared, Adriana had still chosen to stay by Chris's side—no one had been able to understand that decision either.Everyone had their own path to walk; outsiders could only do so much.The only thing Adriana could do was try to spend time with Daisy whenever she could.Unfortunately, as the 001 project progressed, the workload at the lab became increasingly complex and demanding. She was still considered a semi-beginner and had to spend additional time stud
