Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 344

Chapter 344 Short Lifespan 

Astrid had been quite busy lately. She didn’t come home last night. Still, she reminded me to go to the hospital today. 

Honestly speaking, I felt a little awkward to be staying in this house all by myself. I did suggest to Jack several times that I could live in a hotel by myself, but he told me that Astrid would come home in two days, and he wanted me to keep her company. 

Jack was already done with his preparations early in the morning 

“Let’s skipbrealdast for now. You’ll need to have your blood drawn later. I’ve packed your 

breakfast for you.” 

I watched as Jack placed a few sandwiches and a bottle of milk into a small lunch bag. 

His home wasn’t that far from the hospital. Soon, we arrived at the building. 

But the moment we walked through the entrance, we ran into Amelia coincidentally. She was wearing a mask and sunglasses. I wouldn’t have recognized her if not for the fact that she blocked me. 

Amalia seemed to have lost some weight. She looked quite pale too. 

She let out a cold huff when she saw me and Jack standing together. “You really are a shit. You’re always surrounded by men wherever you go. 

Layed Amelia up and down. “Yeah. I’m not like you–still alone despite being pregnant.” 

Leonard had been busy doing everything he could just to deal with Amella’s case. He was most likely physically and mentally drained. 

Amelia let out an abrupt chuckde. “As it! Leo’s dealing with the check–in process for me right now. He loves me and our child the most, you know? Of course, he’ll accompany me to the hospital.” 

She stroked her belly gently, her eyes filled with love and affection 

Then, Amelia looked at Jack “You must be Mr. McLennan, right? You most likely don’t know this, but Eve never had a child despite being married to Leonard for years 

*She miscarried ber last child, yet here she is at the hospital. I wonder if she’s still capable of getting pregnant, with her body being so fucked up and all!” “Eva’s not a breeding machine. It I wanted a child, I’d be able to procure one no matter what,” Jack’s voice remained calm, but I could feel him wrapping anam around my shoulders. 

I knew that this was his way of backing me up. 

Having seen Amelia in this condition, I didn’t feel like arguing with her at all. 

What was the point of arguing with a lunatic like Amelia? If anything, I might go crazy from doing that 

“Let’s go. The doctor’s waiting for us.” 

“Let’s go! Are you sick again?” Amelia stopped me from leaving once again. I had to admit that she was relentless. 

She gave me a once over. “You’re all skin and bones. I can already tell that you’ll have a hard time getting pregnant. No wonder Mr. Harmon Senior wanted you to get a divorce. You really bring bad luck to the family. 

“You’re already here at Manovia, yet you still look so sicly and dead on the inside. I bet that you have an extremely short lifespan because of how shitty you look right now!” 

“Shut up!” Jack’s icy voice boomed once again. I was so intimidated that I instinctively shivered. 

Amelia was seemingly frightened as well. She even backed away from Jack. But her cheeks soon reddened out of anger. 

“Sir, you must not know that Eva used to collapse all the time back in Pyrosia. She tended to get hospitalized a lot back then, Speaking of which, her mom died of cancer. What if that disease is hereditary? Does that mean you’ll die soon, Eva? Hahaha!” 

Jack was about to approach Eva when Leonard, who managed to rush back in time, stopped 

oned him.
