Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 246 Too Much Debt

When the bodyguard stationed at the front door saw me on the ground, he quickly helped me up and sat me down.

At that moment, the front door was opened. Caleb rushed out of the mansion immediately.

"Eva? A-Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. It's just low blood sugar."

I waved airily before pulling out a piece of candy from my pocket. My breath hitched in my throat the moment I saw the wrapper.

Leonard had bought me a pack of candy back then. He had told me to keep them on me at all

times.

I quickly unwrapped the candy before popping it into my mouth. Then, I spent some time recovering my stamina before getting up to my feet.

Caleb quickly steadied me. "I'm about to return to the city. Let me give you a ride."

It was very inconvenient for me to flag down a taxi at this time. That was why I didn't turn down Caleb's offer.

After that, I got into the front passenger seat. Neither of us spoke a single word.

Honestly, there wasn't anything to talk about. Leonard and I were about to get a divorce. On top of that, I'd be leaving Harmon Group. From now on, I wouldn't be affiliated with the Harmons anymore. There were a few times when Caleb wanted to speak up. But in the end, he decided to hold his tongue.

My dizziness intensified as time ticked by. But I knew that I mustn't pass out. At the very least, I mustn't let any of the Harmons find out about my actual health condition. "Caleb."

"Yes, Eva?" Caleb seemed quite nervous, for his response came out instantly.

"I just wanted to ask you how the marketing department distributes the bonuses when it comes to patents.

I didn't really care about the process, I just needed a distraction. Once I reached the hospital I'd be safe. Right now, I needed to stay conscious.

Caleb opted to not hide anything from me. He knew many of Harmon Group's patents were under my name.

Hence, he began analyzing everything for me slowly. He personally thought that claiming the money in bonuses would be better for me because I got to earn more money in the long run.

"The overpass project, in particular, will still be using your design. You might as well charge company for the design fees. After all, you won't be able to get the bonus for this quarter." the

I just smiled while shaking my head. "Everyone else might think that you're my actual cousin instead of Leonard's."

"Well, Leonard's the one at fault this time, Eva. As your husband, he should be the one making amends to you.

"We're about to get divorced, Caleb. I'm no longer your in-law."

Leonard didn't have to make amends to me. He had helped me way too many times in the past.

E The debt I racked up was too much.

I rested my head against the car window. My vision began to fade to black.

Caleb seemed to be saying something to me. I did my best to respond to him while trying to stay awake. In the end, I drifted off to a deep sleep.

When I woke up once again, I found myself feeling speechless. The sight of the light green canopy hanging above my head told me that I had returned to the VIP ward.

Jill once told me that we should always be filled with hope no matter what. Green represented the vibrant nature, which was why she changed everything in my ward to green things. Honestly, the color suited me. As a Green, my life was filled with nothing but tragedy. Hopefully, this color could start bringing me hope instead.

"Eva, you're awake!"

I sat up immediately the moment I heard Caleb's voice. A strong wave of dizziness hit me instantly. I almost collapsed back onto my bed because of that. ""Eva? Eva!"

"Get out of my way and shut up. Who's the doctor here, huh?"

Julian's impatient voice rang out. Caleb dared not say anything after that.

"Eva, I told you before that you mustn't get emotional no matter what. It's best if you can avoid sadness and anger entirely.

"Did the Grim Reaper personally visit you, huh? Are you getting ready to report to the underworld this quickly?"

Julian's poker face appeared before my eyes. I quickly squeezed out a smile at him.

"It's all thanks to Dr. Pope's miraculous skills that"

"Julian!" I quickly shot Julian a look, seeing as Caleb was still in the ward.

But Julian remained impassive as usual. "It's too late. He saw your medical records just now, so he's now the newest member of the club."

While Julian's expression was still stony, I, on the other hand, was left dumbfounded.

Did the Harmons know about my illness? Did that mean Leonard found out about it as well?

I struggled to sit up, only to notice Caleb's red-rimmed eyes. "Eva, does Leonard know nothing about your condition? How could he get a divorce with you at a time like this?"
