Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190 Taking Care of Him Forever 

Randall died after Keenan shot him five times. The doctor explained that most people died instantly. Yet, Randall managed to hold on for so long. Perhaps he just wanted to share a few last words with us. 

Rivaella broke down in tears and eventually fainted. I fought to contain my sorrow and carried on with the necessary arrangements. 

I nearly blacked out several times, yet I understood that I couldn’t allow myself to falter now. If something were to happen to me, what would happen to Riva and Leonard? 

After Jill returned, she repeatedly insisted that I get a check–up and mentioned that I had run out of medication. I could only promise her that I would go back once everything was resolved here. 

Alisa was extremely busy as well. She stopped by briefly and quickly left. 

The police visited multiple times but merely collected statements from Riva and me. With Keenan gone, it felt as if the matter was resolved, leaving only Jedidiah and Danika awaiting their sentencing. 

However, I never anticipated that all the Harmons would show up in Melgrove. As I was in the middle of giving Leonard a massage, Mr. Harmon Senior and the whole family unexpectedly entered the room. Upon witnessing Leonard’s condition, Mr. Harmon Senior’s eyes immediately filled with tears. 

“Eva, how could you not tell us about this big incident?” Bob rushed over, grabbed my hand, and shoved me aside. 

Leah quickly supported me, saying, “Bob, Eva didn’t commit the crime. What are you thinking? Are you seriously going to hit her?” 

Ivy glared at me disapprovingly. “Hitting her is already a light punishment. Leonard is the only child. What if something were to happen to him?” 

“Due to her family’s issue, Leonard completely neglected the company. If it hadn’t been for Luca, I can’t even imagine the chaos the company would be in.” Bob and Ivy constantly reprimanded me. 

I returned quietly to Leonard’s bedside, resuming the massage. The doctor had warned that if he remained inactive for too long, his muscles could start to atrophy. Thus, it was vital for me to ensure he received daily massages. At this moment, no job or obligation mattered more than caring for Leonard. 

Noticing my silence, Ivy intended to come over and pull me up again, but Mr. Harmon Senior interjected. “Eva, what did the doctor say?” 

Chap 96 Taking Care of Him Forset 

“The doctor informed us that Leonard had sustained a brain injury. The surgery went well, but there’s a possibility of nerve damage. He’ll require some time to heal before he regains consciousness.” 

“How long is it? Is it one month, two months, a year, or even ten years?” 

Ivy questioned with a hint of sarcasm, “What if he never regains consciousness?” 

“Then I’ll take care of him for the rest of his life.” 

I put down Leonard’s left leg cautiously, then applied essential oil to my hands and started massaging his right leg. 

Leonard was a sports enthusiast, and his leg muscles were exceptionally strong. If he were forced to lie in bed for a few months, I couldn’t help but wonder if he would grumble about an increase in his body fat percentage. 

My eyes turned red while I massaged him. The ward was quiet, with only the sound of my hands working.
