Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 266

Chapter 266 The Last Time

I didn't remember how I left Leonard's ward. All I knew was that it felt surreal. Mr. Harmon Senior kept saying that I owed Leonard. Was I supposed to repay him with my life? In the end, I still agreed to Mr. Harmon Senior's request. However, I wasn't going to sit around and do nothing for myself.

"Are

you alright, Eva?" Jill rushed over. Her forehead was covered in sweat. I brushed her hair aside and nodded.

Julian walked over with a somewhat grim expression. "Let's go back to your ward first."

Both of them led me back to my ward. Jill asked me a lot of questions on the way, but I couldn't quite hear it. Julian had to nudge me twice for me to come back to my senses. "What did you guys say?"

"Jill asked you about the stuff Mr. Harmon Senior said to you."

'Amelia is pregnant with Leonard's baby." I looked at both of them with a blank expression. My eyes were finally focusing on Jill, who was astounded.

Jill pointed at me at first. Then, she pointed at the door. Eventually, she asked, "Leonard's a mess right now. How did he do it with Amelia?

"He couldn't even see clearly who it was, but he could still roll in the sheets with her." Jill was about to say more, but Julian stopped her.

I had seemingly calmed down a lot at this moment. Nothing could faze me. It was the kind of zen energy after an intense sadness. It would seem that I had gotten used to it too.

Jill noticed that my face was blank, and she quickly held my hand. "She's a bitch, and he's a scumbag. Let them rot together and forget about him."

Julian reminded Jill rudely. "Leonard was fed hallucinogens."

Jill was stunned and a little dispirited. "Couldn't he have just held out a bit? This is all because his will wasn't strong enough."

I was amused and squeezed her hand. I wanted to tell her that willpower didn't have anything to do with it, but I couldn't utter a single word.

I lost my baby, but Leonard and Amelia made one of their own already. All of a sudden, I understood why the female protagonists in romantic flicks wanted to kill their disloyal former boyfriends. It was a sucky feeling to have indeed, I knew my baby wasn't meant to be born in the first place. I knew Leonard was drugged. However, I couldn't bring myself to forgive him, and I never would.

Julian probably saw that I was in a foul mood. Eventually, he led Jill out of my ward to give me some peace. I lay on the hospital bed, but I couldn't fall asleep at all. The only thing on my mind was the fact that Amelia got pregnant.

I watched as the sky darkened. Then, I rose to my feet and made my way back to Leonard's ward. I stood in front of the door, but I didn't go inside. Instead, I merely looked at him in

silence.

Some of the Harmon family's bodyguards were here. One of them wanted to open the door for me, but I shook my head.

I didn't even know how I should face Leonard. Was I supposed to be mad at him for getting Amelia pregnant, or should I feel relieved for him because he could still be cured?

I had no idea how long I stood there, but Julian approached me.

"He's not looking too good. You'd be wise to prepare yourself for the worst. Amelia didn't have medical knowledge, and she could've screwed up his health by feeding him drugs without the necessary know-how.

"With that said, my mentor has gone back to develop a prescription for his rehabilitation." Julian didn't say if Leonard was curable or if he could wake up.

Perhaps Julian also told Mr. Harmon Senior about it. That could be why Mr. Harmon Senior insisted on protecting Amelia at all costs. He wanted to protect Leonard's only child.

I nodded. Then, I opened the door gently and went inside. I sat by Leonard's hospital bed and held his hand. He seemed to have grown much skinnier, and his hand seemed to have lost its strength.

I leaned over gently and said, "This is the last time I'm seeing you, Leonard."
