Chapter 269 Hallucinations
A frown appeared as Adrian suddenly placed a hand over his heart.
Adrian experienced severe discomfort in his heart, sensing the oppressive feeling of being unable to
breathe correctly. It was as if a tight noose was strangling him, forcing him to open his eyes.
Adrian no longer had the woman who would bring him a cup of coffee this time.
It became evident that the silhouette Adrian had seen in his mind just now was merely a trick of his
imagination.
Sienna’s slightest frown or smile, every single movement she made, her moments of happiness, painful
weeping, and the sight of her completely breaking down with tears streaming down her face…
At that moment, they all rushed toward Adrian like an unbounded spring.
Sienna’s image remained fresh in his mind.
A continuous downpour had persisted for an entire day and night.
The relentless wind outside pounded on the glass panels with arrogance, reminiscent of a just-
awakened angry beast. It blew against the villa’s surroundings and the willow tree Adrian frequently
stared at. It made a swooshing sound, conveying both a bleak and
sorrowful ambiance.
As Adrian awakened from the sofa the following day, he could not help but notice the mounting
heaviness in his body, along with a pervasive coldness that made him tremble ceaselessly.
It dawned on him that he was, without a doubt, suffering from a cold.
With exhaustion weighing him down, Adrian reached the bathroom. Despite feeling disoriented, he
freshened up before heading upstairs to search for medicine.
For a full five years, Adrian had never fallen ill, making this sudden cold catch him completely off guard.
The burning temperature coursing through his body felt like it could drain him completely.
Adrian struggled to make his way to the storage room on the second floor, finally reaching it with
incredible difficulty. There, he found the medicine box hidden beneath
a stack of cardboard.

As Adrian opened the medicine box, a wave of endless memories engulfed him again.
The medicines inside the box were meticulously arranged, each one neatly placed. Every prescription
in the box bore specifications and cautionary notes, and Adrian instantly recognized the elegant
handwriting as belonging to the woman.
[Instructions for cold medicine. Take two tablets three times a day. But please, be careful not to take
more than the prescribed amount!]
[Instructions for herbal medicine. Take one tablet twice a day. If the taste is bitter, you can have a piece
of candy with it.]
Adrian remained silent and rooted to the spot, unable to move as he observed the text
before him.
“All of this… it was her thoughtful preparation. How have I never noticed her thoughtfulness?” Adrian
mused.
Out of nowhere, a profound feeling of regret welled inside Adrian, forcing him to strike
the medicine box with a single punch, causing the medicines to spill and cover the floor. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Adrian gradually rose to his feet, steadying himself against the wall. As he looked at the
medications carefully arranged by Sienna, memories of her words echoed in his mind.
“I’ve tidied up your study. Remember to keep yourself warm, as it’s getting colder
today. By the way, I’ve placed these commonly used medications in the storage room. Don’t forget…”
The sound of Sienna’s tender words of advice and the bright, joyful smile on her face. lingered in his
ears.
It resembled a soft, soothing breeze that touched his face, enveloping Adrian in the pouring warmth of
sunlight.
Sienna’s nagging used to infuriate Adrian to no end. He always thought she deliberately wanted to get
on his nerves. However, confronted with the reality before him, he could not suppress the frustration
and the overwhelming self-reproach.
Then, Alexander, who had been trying to reach Adrian unsuccessfully, arrived at the
house in his car.

Unlocking the door with the spare key, Alexander heard the sound of objects being broken on the upper
floor. Hurriedly, he raced up the stairs to assess the situation and discovered Adrian lying in front of the
door, his face flushed and tears on his cheeks.
“Mr. Olson, what’s the matter? Are you alright, Mr. Olson?”
Adrian became unconscious and slowly shut his eyes, prompting Alexander to dial the emergency
hotline quickly.
Several doctors then placed Adrian in the ambulance as the siren echoed.
In Kind’s Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit, Adrian’s complexion was pale two days later as he lay on the
hospital bed, looking exhausted. Janice remained by his side, using a towel
to cool his body.
His fever continued to persist for two days straight.
