All Chapters of The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband: Chapter 381 - Chapter 390

Bianca glanced at the tightly shut door and whispered, "Then I saw that doctor give Cesco an injection. After Cesco woke up, he took a pocket watch and kept swinging it in front of him, and the doctor also said a lot of things to him."Adriana immediately pressed, "What did he say?""At that time, Mother was also there. I was too nervous and afraid she'd find me, so I didn't listen carefully."Bianca thought for a moment, then suddenly lit up."The doctor mentioned your name."Adriana's hands clenched instinctively. "Anything else?"Bianca shook her head. "I can't remember."A thought struck Adriana like a bolt of lightning, exploding in her mind.Hypnosis.If what Bianca said was true, then Francesco might have been hypnotized.She rushed downstairs and pushed open the study door, just in time to see the doctor injecting something into Francesco.Seeing her burst in, Francesco snapped coldly, "Get out."Adriana stared at the empty syringe. "I was just worried you were sick

Adriana lay on the bed and reached out to the side, only to find the sheets cold and empty.A tear slipped from the corner of her eye, soaking into the pillow. She fell into a deep sleep amid quiet sobs.It was past ten in the morning when Adriana woke from a nightmare. She ordered takeout and ate it as brunch.Only after finishing did she settle onto the sofa and start a video call with Bella.Bella took one look at the familiar décor behind Adriana and cried out in surprise, "Adriana, baby—you're back in Heatherton City?!""Yes," Adriana replied with a smile. "Came back to see you. Are you home this afternoon?""Why wait for the afternoon? Come now!" Bella leaned closer to the screen. "Where's your husband?""He's in Mitaly on business. I came back alone.""Then just stay at my place," Bella said immediately. "Now that I'm pregnant, I sleep separately from Patrick to avoid any accidents. You can keep me company."Adriana felt her face heat up slightly. Bella really hadn't ch

Francesco straightened his suit and gave a slight nod with a polite smile toward the others."Francesco, long time no see.""Long time no see."After the greetings were exchanged, Patrick led everyone to the dining room and instructed the maid to serve the dishes.To avoid drawing attention, Adriana sat between Francesco and Bianca."Bianca," she said, "the cook here at Bella's place is excellent. Try this."She placed a few of Bianca's favorite dishes onto her plate, encouraging her to taste them.Bella's gaze landed on Francesco as she teased, "Francesco, how did you manage to make Adriana lose so much weight?"Francesco picked up a dish for Adriana. "Eat more, or I'll end up being held accountable.""Who would dare hold you accountable?" Adriana replied teasingly, eating what he had placed in her bowl.Oliver ate quietly, occasionally exchanging a few words with Adriana.Seeing that Francesco's expression was a little bitter, Patrick deliberately steered the conversation

"Sure. If you like it, it's yours."The checkers set was a special Tom and Jerry edition—Tom on one side, Jerry on the other. Chris had given it to her when she was eleven or twelve. Because it had been expensive, she could never bear to throw it away and had kept it all these years.Near noon, Francesco finally emerged from his room. His posture was lazy, his expression still heavy with sleep.Out of concern, Adriana asked, "Are you not feeling well?""No." Francesco poured himself a glass of water at the dispenser. "Bianca, I'll take you out for lunch.""Yay!" Bianca cheered. "Go change your clothes."Bianca immediately set down the checkers pieces and happily ran to her room to get changed.Holding his glass of water, Francesco stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Adriana's reflection appeared faintly in the glass as she sat on the sofa putting away the checkers set.Her slender frame was wrapped in a white slip dress, long hair cascading loosely over her should

"I'll be waiting anytime."Oliver nodded with a smile, then turned to Francesco."Francesco, whenever you're free, I'd like to treat you and Adriana to dinner.""No need," Francesco replied coolly. "We'll be returning to Mitaly soon."Adriana hurriedly smoothed things over. "Oliver, we'll talk again later."The group parted ways in the underground parking garage. Not long after getting into the car, Bianca fell asleep.Unable to hold back any longer, Adriana demanded, "Francesco, why are you targeting Oliver?"Francesco countered, "Does it upset you to see him treated badly?"Adriana clenched her fists in anger. "He never offended you. What happened to all your gentlemanly manners?"Francesco still refused to answer directly. Instead, he pressed on, "Adriana, are you protecting him?"The tension between them sharpened instantly, neither willing to back down.Adriana narrowed her eyes slightly. "And what about you? Are you jealous?"Francesco let out a low laugh. "When are y
