Chapter 122 Chapter 122 Uncle Keenan This time, I made sure everyone left the room. Leonard was clearly reluctant, but after much insistence from me, he finally walked out.

Penelope looked atwith concern. "Are you sure you're okay? We can wait until you're feeling better." "I'm fine. We can start now." Aside from the drugs and the radiation exposure, I was in relatively good shape.

Penelope began taking my statement after she heard this.

Lily had likely planned to flee the country from the beginning, which was why she had no reservations. about tellingeverything.

Once she realized her fate was sealed, she let go of any caution, spilling everything she knew.

She wantedto understand that Leonard had always cared for me, hoping that we'd stay together, only to then drag Leonard into the abyss.

I closed my eyes for a moment before recounting everything Lily had toldabout Luca to Penelope.

The more Penelope listened, the darker her expression became. "Is there any evidence beyond her words? "she asked.

I shook my head.

I doubted the police would be able to find anything concrete since even I had no proof.

All these things happened way too long ago. Evidence from something like Lily working as a hostess at a karaoke club couldn't really be used as solid evidence Even if they could prove Luca had been in contact with Lily, it wouldn't make any difference.

Penelope sighed. "Without concrete evidence or witnesses, we can't charge Luca with anything. Legallyr he hasn't committed a crime." I nodded. I knew all of this. Luca had always been careful, and it would be nearly impossible to catch him red- handed even if his true nature slipped through.

My role was to reveal the truth and let justice run its course, however that might unfold.

"Eva, your case is officially closed now. Lily is dead..." Penelope hesitated, knowing how much this ordeal. had affected me.

I understood her hesitation. With Lily gone, there was no point in pressing further.

Leonard cback into the room after Penelope left. He looked exhausted.

"The Harmon family is in turmoil. If Grandpa calls you soon, just say you're not feeling well and won't be going back to the Harmon residence, alright? He carefully tucked the blanket aroundbefore climbing into the bed beside me.

Holdingclose, he whispered, "Eva, I'm tired. I just want to sleep for a bit." "Okay." I gently held his hand, and before long, I dozed off as well.

I didn't know how long I'd been asleep when the door to the hospital room creaked open. My instincts wokeup, and to my surprise, I saw Uncle Keenan, standing in the doorway.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I knocked, but no one answered..." he said quickly, coughing a few times to excuse himself.

Leonard woke up groggily, blinking in confusion at the sight of him.

"Uncle Keenan," Leonard muttered, his face quickly losing all warmth.

I sat up in bed and asked him. "Uncle, what are you doing here?" "News of your accident was all over the Internet. How could I not cto check on you?"

He lookedover, then glanced at Leonard, placing the gift he had m brought on the table beside the bed.

said, though his "Seeing that you're both fine puts my mind at ease," he said though his eyes kept darting between the two of En us as if trying to gauge something.

Leonard remained cold and distant the entire time, even radiating a slight hostility toward him. I, on the other m hand, played my part a woman on the verge of divorce, desperate for support from her maternal family. Leonard clearly didn't approve of my actions. He barely said another word during the visit, letting the silence speak for him. After Uncle Keenan left, Leonard turned toand gavea stern look.
