Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175 Cancer? 

After an unknown period, Leonard completed his gastric lavage and was out of the woods. 

The doctor wiped the sweat off his forehead. “May I see the family members? Don’t worry. The patient will wake up soon. Make sure he stays away from his allergen, as we can’t. guarantee what will happen next time.” 

1 kept thanking the doctor. I finally felt at ease when I turned and looked at Leonard inside his ward. 

By the time Keenan came over, it was dawn. He glanced at the guilty–looking Alisa and then at me. “Eva, what happened to Leonard? Is he okay? I had no idea he had allergies. Did he eat something wrong yesterday?” 

I hurled the fruit basket that he passed me onto the ground. “You had no idea? How could you be clueless when you drugged him? Should I call the police and the media to get to the bottom of it?” 

I glared harshly at him, as I was truly infuriated this time. Even if he wanted Alisa to take over my place, he shouldn’t have repeatedly targeted Leonard. “I can’t believe you resorted to drugging him. What a low, dirty trick! I’m telling you, Keenan–forget about the Harmon Group collaboration! Now, screw off!” 

I opened the door to the ward and flashed them a cold look. 

Alisa came before me after Keenan glanced at her. “Eva, we’re a family. Does it have to come to this? We shouldn’t be doing this in Leo’s ward. Don’t you think so?” 

She extended her hand, attempting to hold me, but I quickly flung her arm away. “You don’t deserve to call him Leo. Until the day you can convince him to divorce me, leave us alone! And you… You drugged him just to whore out your daughter. Don’t you have shame?” 

My volume wasn’t soft, and the door to the ward was opened. As such, many patients and their families came to watch the show. Many had seen Leonard’s resurrection yesterday, thus excited to follow up with his condition. 

Naturally, Keenan wasn’t amused by my words, as he left exasperatedly. As Alisa passed by me, she gave me a meaningful look and gestured that she would call me. I nodded at her, conveying that I understood. 

After the two left, I finally heaved a breath of relief. Although Leonard hadn’t regained consciousness, his condition was improving. 

Sitting by the bed, I held his hand lightly. “I’m sorry, Leonard.” 

I didn’t know what else to say other than to apologize. Had it not been for investigating my dad, he wouldn’t have come to Tarnvale and got involved with the Green family. If it weren’t 

for me, he wouldn’t be unconscious now. 

I quietly wiped my tears away and eventually fell asleep by his side. 

When I awoke this time, I found myself lying on the hospital bed. 

Alisa looked at me indifferently and said, “Eva, what’s with you?” She walked to the door and ensured no one was outside before returning to my side. “Cancer? Like your mom?”
