Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 403

Chapter 403 Giving a Chance 

Julian and Jack worked with each other and shot the investigation team cold looks, successfully intimidating them. 

Jack carried me back to my ward, and no one dared to stop him. Once I was back on my bed, I kept my eyes shut and let Julian perform all sorts of check–ups on me. 

In any case, I needed to do several check–ups today. When the nurse came over to draw my blood and used the portable ultrasound machine, it really did look like things were quite 

serious for me. 

Not everyone on the investigation team had left. One of them stayed behind and explained the situation to Phineas. 

“Eva is indeed the person in charge of the design. There’s a photo of her signature in the previous complaint email we received a while ago. Now that such a huge blunder occurred with the project, we have the obligation to get to the bottom of it. 

“She’s going to have to clarify everything to us, even if her condition has just improved a little.

“Be that as it may, my client’s condition is dire and complicated. Her life could be in danger at any given moment.” 

I could hear Phineas‘ slightly apologetic voice from outside the door. He didn’t exactly show the investigation team a cold expression, but it felt like someone was going to have a bad day every time he smiled. 

As expected, Phineas proceeded to bring up a series of legal clauses before he went straight to the point. 

“Ms. Green does have the obligation to cooperate with your investigation. In fact, the police can even question her. However, she shouldn’t have to prove her innocence. On the contrary, the person accusing her has to provide evidence of her crime. 

“Was it you guys who summoned the reporters today? If this happens again, I’m afraid I’ll see you in court next time.” Phineas criticized the man from the investigation team so badly that 

he left. 

Then, Phineas walked into the ward, and I opened my eyes. “Rest your minds, Mr. McLennan and Ms. Green. I have it under control. They don’t have any evidence to support their accusation. They were just here for a routine investigation, but they didn’t exactly follow the proper procedures. I’m going to lodge a complaint for that.” 

Jack merely nodded slightly and didn’t say anything. After Phineas left, he turned around and looked at me. “You’re quick–witted.”

I blinked twice, feeling embarrassed. “Do you think this is deception? Did I just avoid an investigation?” 

“Not really. You did pass out for real.” Jack sounded perfectly calm and not diffident at all. 

I had gradually gotten strong–willed as well. I was an honest–to–God terminally ill patient, and I could just pass out at any given moment. 

Jack reached out to me and said, “Your cell phone.” 

I unlocked the screen and handed it to him. Then, he dialed a number. I stared at him with widened eyes, but Leonard’s voice could already be heard from the phone by the time I 

realized what was happening. 

“What’s the matter, Eva?” 

“Eva was pestered and surrounded by a group of reporters. She received a shock from the investigation team and has just gone through a series of investigations.” 

Jack’s tone was monotonous as usual. Everything he said was true, but I didn’t get why it sounded so ambiguous when he said the words out loud.
