Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 273 He Wants to See You

By the time Julian came over, Leonard had long passed out. It seemed the revelation had at huge impact on him. He fainted at the slightest provocation.

Mr. Harmon Senior gave me a rather displeased look. "Why did you tell him about all of that?"

I didn't defend myself, even though I didn't say a single word the entire time. I came to discover that this was how the Harmons had always been. Whenever something went wrong, the first thing they did was replace fault with the others. The Harmons were always right with everything.

I still remained standing by the door as I watched the doctor and nurses run in and out of the ward. Julian wore a complicated expression when he came outside.

"His body has metabolized most of the hallucinogens, but it still got to him. He probably regained some of his memories, but we don't know how much specifically."

Mr. Harmon Senior gave Julian a worried look. "Does Leonard need surgery or some oral medicines?"

"My mentor is developing them as we speak, but Leonard's case is not that straightforward. You guys should prepare yourselves for the worst." Julian looked calm, but everything he said proved just how grim Leonard's situation was.

Before he left, Julian told me that I had to take care of Leonard's emotional state and keep him away from any provocation. I gave Mr. Harmon Senior a helpless look. The fact was that I was in something of an awkward position. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to call the shots anymore.

Mr. Harmon Senior seemed to be aware of this as well. He immediately nodded at Julian. Understood, Dr. Pope. Thank you for your help this time. The Harmon family owes you a big favor."

"Don't say that. I'm merely helping out for Eva's sake." Julian waved and left.

Meanwhile, Mr. Harmon Senior looked at me with a mix of emotions. "You heard what the doctor said, Eva. Leonard can't take any more provocation."

"I know what he said. I won't come here anymore." If anything could provoke Leonard, it would be Amelia and me. It looked like she was brought back to the Harmon residence. Amelia would probably stay there for a long time, whether she liked it or not. After all, the baby in her belly would keep her alive. The Harmon family wouldn't mistreat her.

As for me, I cast a glance at the slumbering Leonard and thought to myself that I no longer needed to be there anymore.

Leonard now knew about everything. We'd only feel awkward if we saw each other again. I

would probably show up again just to sign the divorce agreement next time.

Mr. Harmon Senior glanced at me, but he didn't manage to say what he wanted to say to me. I knew he probably wanted me to swing by and check on Leonard or keep him company. However, I honestly couldn't do it. Every time I laid my eyes on him, my mind went right back to when he pushed me. Perhaps that wasn't the Leonard I knew, but it was him regardless. I couldn't move on from that.

Eventually, Mr. Harmon Senior sighed. "Now that Leonard has woken up, we need to carry on with the company's bidding work. Caleb told me that you have set studio. So, let's sign up your a contract with Harmon Group first. At the very least, we have to secure this project.

"You know what's going on with the design department. So, I'm not going to waste my breath and tell you about it."

I nodded gently. I knew what he meant. As of now, the Harmon family's top priority was the project. Now that Leonard had woken up, he had all the more reason to prioritize it.

That was how wealthy and powerful families worked. It wasn't as if they didn't have a shred of kindness and warmth. However, family interests took precedence over everything sometimes.

All of a sudden, a nurse poked her head into the ward. "Is Ms. Eva Green here? The patient has woken up, and he's asking to see you."

I raised my head and looked into the ward, only to see the pain in Leonard's eyes. I spaced out for a second before I took a deep breath and followed the nurse inside.
