Chapter 201 Chapter 201 Quitting Leonard refused to take his medicine, but sweat was already streaming down his face from the pain of his headache, "Call Amy. Get her here. Quick, hurry!" Mr. Harmon Senior pointed at me, his hand trembling slightly.

I didn't dare delay and quickly called Amelia. To my surprise, she lived not far from the Harmon residence and arrived within ten minutes.

I handed her the medicine, and she rushed over to Leonard's side.

"Leonard, take your medicine, please," she said gently, and only then did Leonard turn to look at her.

"Amy, you're... You're here." "Yes, now take your medicine. Don't make everyone worry about you." Leonard held her hand and took the medicine. Amelia then poured him a glass of water and helped him onto the couch.

I could see how much Leonard depended on her, and it madefeel uncomfortable, so I turned away.

Mr. Harmon Senior glanced atand cleared his throat softly. "Eva, he's..." "Mr. Harmon Senior, I know. It's not his fault." I forced a smile, but I couldn't manage it.

I knew his memory was failing, sometimes he even thought he was back in high school. But it still hurt to see him treat another woman so well, thinking she was me.

Mr. Harmon Senior sighed and said nothing more to me. Instead, he smiled warmly at Amelia.

"Amy, I know this puts you in a tough spot, but right now, he only trusts you. Can you help us out?" When he said that, my heart sank. I understood what he meant.

Sure enough, Mr. Harmon Senior suggested that Amelia stay here for a while, preferably to look after Leonard. I clenched my fists, not wanting to hear anything else.

I knew, in his eyes, I was only valuable because Leonard once liked me. Now that Leonard didn't anymore, I had no worth to him.

Amelia suddenly pulled her hand away from Leonard's grasp and nervously glanced at me. "No, Leonard is Eva's husband..." Chap 201 Quittna "Amy, I'm not, I told you I'm not! She's lying to you. I'm not married, how could I be if I have you? I've been waiting for you to cback from overseas." Leonard looked at her with deep affection, grabbing her hand tightly again. Amelia tried to pull away a few times but eventually gave up and let him hold on. But she shook her head firmly. "I'm not staying here. I have work matters to discuss with Eva. I'm leaving." She stood up abruptly, using all her strength to pry Leonard's hand off. I could see her face had turned red, and she seemed uneasy.

As we left the Harmon residence, I glanced at her, feeling guilty. "I'm sorry, Leonard was... I'm really sorry about all of this." Amelia rubbed her sore wrist and shook her head.

"It's nothing. He's probably really lost his mind. Otherwise, why would he act this way toward me?" She lowered her head, and it seemed like something painful crossed her mind, her voice a little sad.

Leonard used to spend the most twith Amelia out of anyone in our dorm.

Back when he was working part-time, they both worked at the cafeterian Even when he broughtthings, it was always Amelia helping to deliver them.

Leonard would always buy extra for my dorm friends, but Amelia never wanted to take anything, saying it felt wrong: always thought she had a lot of pride, but also a lot of insecurity.

Seeing Leonard like this today must have hurt her pride. She didn't want to make a big deal out of big deal out of it, but no one would want to be someone else's replacement. "I'm really sorry, Amelia. Once he's himself again, I'll make sure he apologizes to you properly.

"No need," Amelia said flatly, staring out the window.

"Eva, I'm quitting tomorrow, so don't worry."
