Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 277

Chapter 277 Parting on Amicable Terms

"Of course, there's hope for us. I love you, and that's more than enough for everything." Leonard looked at me stubbornly, and there were tears in his eyes.

However, all I felt was pain. That was because I didn't know if I still loved him. Could we be together, even if we loved each other? Obviously, the answer was no.

I pushed Leonard's hand away gently. "We lost a baby, Leonard."

I rubbed my belly, and my voice sounded a little choked up. "I know it's not your fault and that you didn't mean to do it, but our baby's gone. I'm also aware that I couldn't keep him in the first place, but he's no longer here."

Leonard killed our baby with his own hands. I was no saint, and I wasn't the forgiving type, either. I might've known that it wasn't his fault, but I couldn't let it go, either. I couldn't be with him.

Leonard went stiff for a second before he quickly grabbed me again. "I-I'm sorry. I know it's all

my fault. You don't have to forgive me, but let's not get divorced. Okay? We'll make another baby. We will."

"We won't." I raised my head and looked at him. "We won't have another baby. Your baby's in Amelia's belly. There's also the Harmon family. Your grandpa isn't going to give up that baby. "I know you're a responsible man. So, let's part on amicable terms." Leonard was holding my arm, but his hand slowly slipped listlessly. Tears streamed down his

cheeks.

I shut my eyes before I turned around firmly.

Leonard was a responsible man. He couldn't even bring himself to abort Lily's baby back then, let alone Amelia's baby. I knew he kept thinking that Amelia gave him the diamond necklace and helped him through his hardships.

The Harmon family sent Amelia overseas to study, but Leonard had always remembered his gratitude for her.

The fact that he didn't bring up her baby was proof that he wanted to let things take their own course. The baby might not be a healthy child, but the Harmon family wanted to roll the dice, and so did Amelia.

With that said, they could do what they wanted. was still going to get my divorce. There was no conflict between the two.

I didn't go back to my ward. Instead, I went over to Julian's office. He seemed to be busy lately. He didn't talk to me except when he was checking on my condition. When he saw me coming in with reddened eyes, he frowned subtly. Chapter 277 Parting on Amicable Terms

"I told you, you can't afford to have turbulent emotions."

"I'm sorry. I'll watch it." I learned my lesson and didn't talk back to him this time.

Julian raised his eyebrow and waited for me to keep going.

"I want to be discharged, Julian. I'm staying in the same hospital as Leonard. It's too easy for me to be exposed."

Leonard was probably still upset earlier. That was why he didn't think about the reason I came back to the hospital. If he found out that I had been here after i miscarriage, he could

probably see what was wrong.

The hospital owned by the Harmon family might be willing to keep it a secret for me. However, what about the other hospitals?

I didn't want to take a bet with it, and Leonard couldn't afford to take one provocation after another

"That's a no." Julian didn't even look at me. Instead, he started processing documents with his computer. Before I could say anything, he continued, "You can opt not to stay here, but the ward is reserved for you. You have to come back for medicines and check-ups anytime I ask

you to.

"In any case, Jill said that the VIP ward is your private room. So, that's how it's going to be." For a moment there, I didn't know what to say. All I could do was agree to Julian's decision.

"Alisa's leaving tomorrow, and she said she wanted to grab dinner with you tonight." I gave Julian a curious look. I wanted to ask him something, but I didn't eventually.
