Chapter 446

Chapter 446 Waking Up

Leonard took my thumb and pressed it onto each document one after another.

"Eva, it would've been perfect if we had stayed together all along, don't you think? Amelia was the one who messed everything up. But that's okay. We've got our own child now, and we're also getting remarried." I struggled to open my eyes but could only manage a tiny slit.

Blurred as it was, I could still make out that the documents involved various projects-some I was familiar with, others I wasn't

If my thumbprint was stamped on these, I knew exactly the consequences.

Success would have nothing to do with me, but failure would be entirely my fault.

I might even end up being summoned by the relevant authorities.

But what could they really do to me? I was bedridden cancer patient.

The police couldn't arrest me, and I couldn't even be sent to prison. The only place I could be was in the hospital, just like how things were now. Leonard was trying to pin everything on me.

He had to be planning something big, and I couldn't let him get away with it.

I tried to move my hand, but I was too weak All I could do was watch helplessly as he pressed my thumbprint on more than a dozen documents.

Finally, Leonard gave me a light, easy smile and kissed my forehead

"Rest well. I'll be here with you," he whispered.

"Eva, I won't let you die. I'm going to take over Harmon Group, and after that, no one can stand in our way anymore."

Leonard left with the documents in hand. I was left feeling hollow. He had not only changed but also intended to use me.

I lost all sense of time, remaining in that immobile state.

Leonard visited daily to assist in cleaning my body. He would gently touch the surgical scar on my chest, occasionally shedding tears. He frequently reflected on past events, but I lacked the inclination to participate in such conversations

One day, 1 unexpectedly beard Alisa's voice, she stood at the doorway, uttering a series of curses, "Leonard, her body. You're harming her I'm her cousin. I'm ber sole family member. I have the right to take her away."

you

i scoundrel! You can't use unauthorized drugs on

I had no idea what drugs Lennard had administered. I seemed to be conscious but was unable to rouse from sleep. The possibility that Leonard perpetrated this prompted the thoughts of Levon.

press conference. His strange smile and sudden collapse all seemed too telling. The mere thought that Leonard could be

He didn't look quite right on the day of the press behind it sent chills down my spine.

Leonard wasn't in the ward, and Alisa barged in with a group of people.

"Officers, this is my cousin. She and Leonard never remarried, and she has no wish to be with him. I'm taking her with me."

"Over my dead body!" Leonard's voice rang out as Alisa scooped me into her arms. Her whole body trembled, and her voice had a fierce edge.

"Leonard, you'll pay for this. Karma's coming for you!"

Leonard sneered, "it anyone's facing kanna, it's you."

"Kernan killed Eva's father, and here you are, pretending to be her carting cousin? He then turned to the police officers. "Everything I'm saying is true. Eva's family has blood debts with hers. There's no way my wife would want to go with her." Leonard yanked Alisa away, and chaos erupted in the ward

just as Leonard's men moved to throw Alisa and her people out, I summoned all my strength and forced my eyes open.

Alisa kept slapping Leonard, and I used every ounce of energy to throw myself off the bed.

While everyone stood in shock, Alisa broke free from the guards, her hair all disheveled. She rushed to my side, holding me close. I looked directly at the officer in unifor

"I want to leave with my cousin."
