Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247 Force 

For a moment, I didn’t know what to say when I saw how angry and aggrieved Caleb looked. 

Truthfully, I rarely talked to him. But it seemed that he had a good first impression of him. At the very least, he treated me like his actual in–law. 

Maybe it was because he sided with justice. 

When I was still studying at my university, I was exactly the same as Caleb. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone so far to help Amelia. 

Caleb had yet to experience the brutal side of society. That was why he still retained his naive 

nature. 

After Julian was done with the check–up, he made sure to chastise me for a bit longer before leaving. Caleb sat by my bed while sniffling loudly. 

“Eva, you mustn’t get a divorce! You have to tell Leonard your condition! Also, don’t give your shares up! Don’t think about leaving the company as well! 

“Shouldn’t the law protect you because of your condition? Leonard can’t treat you like this!” 

Caleb proceeded to nag me for a long time. I grew a little exasperated after a while. I was the patient, yet I had to console him in the end. 

“It’s fine, Caleb. We already agreed on getting a divorce in the past. Before you returned to this country, I’d already thought about divorcing Leonard. In fact, I even printed out the divorce agreement many times.” 

What I said was the truth. In the past, Leonard was madly in love with Lily. Now, he was all lovey–dovey with Amelia. 

At that moment, I felt quite pathetic. It seemed that I was the closest to Leonard during the time we were in Melgrove ever since we got married. Then again, we only spent one month there. 

Leonard had dedicated the years of our marriage to other women. Ironically enough, he never spared much time for me, who was supposed to be his legal wife. 

Maybe Leonard and I had already dedicated too much love to each other during our university days. Perhaps that was why fate deemed it necessary to split us up after that. 

Caleb could only clench his fists angrily. “I’m going to call Leonard right now! His memories are fucked up, but he’s not a fool! You can’t get a divorce in your current condition!” 

He was adamant about seeking justice for me at this time, hence his decision to call Leonard. I used all of my energy to snatch Caleb’s phone away.

“Caleb, this is between me and Leonard. Let us deal with this matter as we see fit. Also, I hope that you can keep my illness a secret. I don’t want the other Harmons to find out about my condition.” 

It didn’t matter whether or not I brought this matter up. I didn’t think that Leonard would remember everything even if I were to tell him the truth. 

Caleb was about to give me more advice when Jill rushed into my ward. His phone happened to ring at the same time. 

“I still have work to deal with at the company, so…” 

“Just go. Remember what I told you.” 

I looked at Caleb pointedly. In the end, he could only nod before leaving the ward hurriedly. 

“Who was that?” Jill asked. 

“That’s Leonard’s younger cousin.” 

“They don’t look alike at all…” Jill stared at Caleb’s retreating back thoughtfully. “I knew it. The Harmon men are extremely good–looking.” 

“He’s three years younger than you!” 

I was speechless, to say the least. It was true that Jill loved handsome men. 

She had her eye on Leonard in the past. Was she planning to switch targets to Caleb now? 

Jill just rolled her eyes at me. “I like admiring handsome men. That’s all. What happened to you this time?” 

I summarized my visit to the Harmon residence. Naturally, Jill got mad at them. 

“What the fuck? Just how shameless are they? That Amelia bitch and Leonard are definitely idiots, right? You’re an idiot for not being able to see her true colors despite having studied with her for four fucking years!” 

Just like that, Jill berated me for the next ten minutes or so. Finally, she settled down.
