Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 420

Chapter 420 Keeping My Wife Healthy

"Alisa, it's not easy to handle this. Don't act impulsively."

I felt a wave of pressure in my chest as Leonard wasn't someone to be trifled with. He must have thought this through deeply, considering the uncertainties surrounding the Greens.

"Even so, we can't let him off the hook! Look at what he's saying! Eva, leave this to me. I will definitely-"

I quickly grabbed Alisa, who was emotionally charged. "No, I'll handle it. Really. Leonard won't just leave it at this one statement. Your company has just started to stabilize. Don't make any rash moves. He'll definitely come to replace me again. And when he does, I'll deal with him for sure. Trust me."

I forced myself to sit up despite feeling weak and unbearably sad.

Alisa was still behind me, but I could barely hear what she was saying anymore. I went straight into the bathroom. I needed to calm down.

Leonard's words echoed repeatedly in my mind, making my head pound. He had officially announced our remarriage. What would come next? It would be impossible for him to force me into a marriage outright, so was this all a show?

In that case, the projects I was in charge of might be facing backlash due to my absence. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for Mr. Harmon Senior to come looking for me. This was just their first move.

The more I thought about it, the more my head hurt. It felt like I could guess everything, yet I was powerless to act against it.

I slid down the wall bit by bit until I saw Alisa's worried face hovering before me. I wanted to tell her I was fine, just a little tired, but I couldn't muster the words. This time, I didn't completely lose consciousness. I still had some awareness.

I just couldn't move around, and staying awake was equally exhausting. I think I was lifted onto a stretcher again, with plenty of people watching.

Seeing Julian's hesitance lately, I had a feeling things were about to go south.

Could it be a relapse?

I suddenly heard Leonard's voice as I was lost in these thoughts.

"Eva! What happened to you?" He rushed to my side and grabbed my hand.

I wanted to pull my hand away, but I was too weak to do so. His grip was strong, and his voice was loud enough to make my head throb.

"Doctor, what's going on with her? Has she relapsed again? Why wasn't I notified? I'm her family! Use the best medicine. No matter the cost, I want my wife to be healthy."

His words were so touching. If it weren't for the sound of cameras clicking nearby, I might have been moved to tears.

He wasn't just putting on a show. He had also brought the reporters along.

Then came Alisa's impatient voice. "Leonard, what the heck is wrong with you? Why are you blocking the doorway? Eva needs to get to emergency care!" Her tone was urgent and exasperated. "Can everyone please step aside?" But Leonard wouldn't let go of my hand and continued to speak to me.

Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and forced myself to open my eyes. "Get lost."

I could barely make a sound, but I knew he heard me.

He looked at me in shock, but his grip didn't loosen. I wanted to push him away, but I didn't have the strength.

He grabbed my other hand. "Eva, don't be afraid. I'll always be here for you."

"She doesn't seem to want you here."

Jack's voice came through, and I strained to lift my eyelids to look at him. I shook my head slightly.

Why did he want to rush forward in a situation like this? Wasn't he just handing people something to hold against him?
