Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185 Collect Her Body 

Leonard’s surgery was a success, and the blood clots in his brain were all extracted. However, he still did not wake up. 

The doctor said that it was normal for one to be comatose after a brain injury. As for whether one would wake up from the coma, only time could tell. 

Reports on the Green family were all over the Internet. Graeme acted swiftly and arrested the kidnappers. Keenan was the only one who managed to escape amidst the mess. 

When Alisa hurried over, she looked exhausted, but her gaze was much gentler than usual. 

“I got all the evidence out from Keenan’s safety deposit box and handed them over to the police. They also had me go over to assist with the investigation. There’s no running away for 

him now. 

“I suppose the police were courteous to me because I was helping them at the expense of my family. But all the projects handled by our family will have to be stopped, including all the projects that were approved by Jedidiah.” 

Alisa was stripped of her former haughtiness and looked much more at ease now. 

“But it would do you good to watch out. Keenan’s a crafty person, and he’s managed to escape. Even Jedidiah wasn’t aware that the authorities were already on them. How did he find out? My mom used to say that he’s like a beast sometimes. I guess it’s true that he can really sense danger.” 

Alisa spoke in a flat tone, and her eyes were pinned on Leonard, who was lying in the ICU. 

With a hoarse voice, I croaked, “Thank you.” 

“What are you thanking me for? We’re just after our own interests. The Green family has been substantially affected–projects will have to be reclaimed, construction has to be stopped, and you have all sorts of compensations to be made… 

Alisa’s gaze fell on me, and she flashed me a wry smile. “Back then, Keenan had used underhanded tactics to usurp your family’s company. I’m unable to return the company to you, Eva. But I’ll do my best to not let it go under. With its current foundation, it’ll be easy to expand and venture out.” 

I nodded. This had been her goal all along. I understood that. Besides, what use did I have of

All of a sudden, a thought occurred to me. I hastily grabbed Alisa’s arm. “What about Riva? Why don’t I see her?” 

If the police were able to locate me right away, wouldn’t that mean that she was fine too? I had been so caught up with Leonard for the past few days that Rivaella had completely slipped my

mind! 

Alisa shook her head. “They haven’t found her yet. I suspect that Keenan still has some tricks up his sleeves. They haven’t been able to locate Randall either. You should be more vigilant. He’s a sly one. I wouldn’t be surprised if he still has his eyes on your fund. 

“But the head of the police department is pretty impressive. So, don’t you worry. Riva will be fine.” She patted my hand, but I could tell from her tone that she wasn’t exactly convinced either. 

Keenan could bring himself to kill even his own siblings, and he had no care at all for his wife and daughter. Who was to say what he was or wasn’t capable of doing? 

After Alisa left, I stayed in the ward and watched over Leonard. He lay there in silence without the slightest hint of pain or suffering–he was completely expressionless.
