Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 475 It's a Miracle

It seemed like everything in Pyrosia came to a close after the conclusion of my funeral. Everyone was able to do their jobs peacefully. Leonard even stopped pretending to be a man who was deeply in love.

From time to time, Crystal would complain to me about Harmon Group. A lot of shareholders who initially took Luca's side had their shares acquired by Leonard, and Harmon Group underwent a restructuring of its stock. Now, Leonard had all the advantages he needed. Moreover, someone was able to dig up the fact that his parents used to have shares in Harmon Group as well. However, Mr. Harmon Senior took them back.

Normally, parents and children were the primary heirs to estates. Naturally, Leonard had a share of his parents' shares.

I wasn't sure if it was because Mr. Harmon Senior favored Leonard again or was it because the pressure was too great. In any case, he gave some shares to Leonard.

Meanwhile, Leonard took back the 1% shares he had given me previously. When Crystal went over to handle the procedures, she was so mad she could kill someone.

"He had already given you the shares. How could he take them back for himself? How shameless. He said that you couldn't have the shares because you two weren't married. For crying out loud, you signed the papers!

"I guess there's no stopping someone who knows no shame. How have I never seen this side of Leonard?" Crystal's voice grew louder by the second. It was obvious that she was seriously pissed off.

On the other hand, I was much calmer. From the very beginning, I knew that Leonard was very reluctant to give me the 1% shares of Harmon Group. I signed the agreement because I wanted to put his mind at ease. Leonard had always been very suspicious. If I hadn't signed it, he might've started thinking that I had other ulterior motives. After all, I didn't love him anymore. Why would I stay with him if there wasn't anything in it for me? To be frank, I had never wanted Harmon Group's shares either.

That was how the Harmon family was. None of them were willing to share authority and power with the others, including Mr. Harmon Senior and Leonard.

With that said, I didn't think Leonard would take back the shares he gave me. He did so after I was dead for less than a month too. Crystal tried to retain the shares for me, but he sicced his lawyer on her eventually. So, there was nothing else she could do.

"In fact, I was really startled, Eva. He

said that I was conducting a crime of usurpation and that he reserved the right to press charges. After that, Alisa came and said that you wouldn't want anything that belonged to Leonard. She told me that you would've felt disgusted. That was why I gave him the shares."

I shook my head as I listened to her complaint. "The shares weren't mine to begin with. On top of that, I don't want to Kave any connection to him. If you hadn't given them to him he might've maliciously targeted you. It was the right choice to give them to him."

1% of Harmon Group's shares was worth a lot of money too. However, I honestly didn't need those shares. It was better to sever my ties with Leonard completely.

Once the dust settled, I began

focusing on my recovery. Andrew

said that I was doing quite well. My

health was beginning to look up

because I was feeling better

emotionally. Fortunately, the cancer

cells didn't show any signs of

spreading either. I could probably

live on.

I cast away all sorts of worries and concerns, and I began going outside for sketches. The weather at Erewhon was quite chilly, but it also kept my head clear.

I learned a valuable lesson; it was important to enjoy life. When I was young, I loved drawing. That was why I studied design when I grew up.

There were a lot of patients in recovery here, and I drew a lot of sketches for them. Some of them happily took the sketches with them, while the others held the sketches as they drew their last breath.

My mood had improved a lot in the past few months, and I began to take on a more indifferent take on life.

After I did a body check-up three months later, Andrew came to me with a report in his hand, which was shaking with excitement. "You can go through an operation now, Eva. All your vital signs are within acceptable range, and the cancer cells didn't spread either. "You've relapsed three times, yet you're still capable of going through with another operation. You're the living embodiment of a miracle, Eva. I hope you can recreate another miracle."

I put down the pen in my hand and flashed Andrew a smile. "Yeah. I hope you can create a miracle for me too."
