Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 207 Chapter 207 Pregnant After Amelia left, the design department went back to its usual routine.

I knew Amelia still wanted to put her skills to use in her field, so I'd give her small design tasks. from tto time, and she always accepted them gladly. But whenever she handed in her work, she seemed exhausted.

I felt guilty about it, knowing Leonard's situation had nothing to do with her. Whenever I tried to apologize, she'd just wave it off.

"It's fine. I've got a good job now, right? There's no need for you to apologize." In the end, I just kept quiet.

A week later, news from HR cthrough-Amelia had replaced Lily as the senior secretary.

If Lily's promotion had shocked everyone, then Amelia's move even caught the attention of the Harmon family. When Caleb cto find me, there was worry in his eyes.

"Eva, I'm so sorry. I had no idea things would turn out like this. If I had known, I never would've introduced Amelia to the company. I heard Leonard took her to the business night..." gala last "It's fine. She's his secretary. It's normal for them to attend events together." I kept my head down, focusing on the papers in front of me, pretending not to care.

This wasn't the first tLeonard had brought Amelia to a public event. When he used to bring Lily, he was more discreet, but now with Amelia, he acted like she was his girlfriend.

Caleb kept apologizing, but I knew it wasn't his fault. In fact, I wasn't even sure who to blame. Should I blLeonard? But he only did this to save me. In the end, I felt like I could only blmy own bad luck.

I had so many projects on hand lately that I was constantly swamped.

There were plenty of rumors going around the office, most people thinking Amelia was about to surpassand I'd soon be kicked out. No matter the gossip, I kept working as usual.

Especially with Luca constantly givinga hard time, I just didn't have the energy to care about Leonard anymore. As long as he was alive and functioning, that was enough for me. Thankfully, Caleb had been helping me, stepping in to block Luca's snide remarks several times. I knew it wasn't easy for him, but there wasn't much I could do.

Luca didn't give anyone respect unless they were from the Harmon family.

Chap 207 Pregnant After finally revising the new proposal, I had to head to the construction site to check the designs, Zack volunteered. "Eva, how about I go with you? You haven't been looking well lately. You didn't even have lunch again, did you?" I nodded. "I have no appetite." Lately, I hadn't felt like eating much. Even though the cancer was under control with medication, I wasn't sure why I felt this way. I pushed through work every day, afraid to stop- because once I stopped, my mind would start to wander.

Whenever I saw how much Leonard cared for Amelia, Lily's words echoed in my mind. "The one who's not loved is the real third wheel..." As my thoughts spiraled, we arrived at the construction site, where Zack had already started with the preliminary inspections.

"You've lost so much weight. Not eating well, are you?" His eyes were filled with concern, but I just shook my head hard.

For sreason, the dizziness hit again.

"It's fine, let's just check the site..." I reached out to him, but before I could finish, my body collapsed backward. When I woke up, I overheard the doctor and Zack talking. "She shouldn't even be pregnant in her condition. This baby's timing is terrible. Her husband hasn't arrived yet? The family is being really irresponsible." I groggily opened my eyes just in tto hear Leonard's cold voice. "It's not my kid she's carrying, so why should I care?" Chapter 208 Bastard I jolted awake, staring straight into Leonard's impatient face "What oes your fainting have to do with me? Didn't I already say not to botherunless important? You called Amelia on purpose, didn't you? Just to make sure I'd show up.

Amelia stood beside him, head down, lost in thought They'd been practically inseparable lately-Leonard even dropped her off and picked her up from work every day. Now, here they were again, both showing up at the hospital, looking more like a married couple than I ever had with hân. must have called him first and, when he refused to come, contacted Amella instead.

The doctor eyed Leonard suspiciously. "Are you her husband? He scoffed, "I being tricked into marriage counts, then sure, I'm her husband in nonly. but letbe clear, the kid she's carrying isn't mine." His words were so sharp that even the doctor looked shocked.

Thankfully, the doctor regained his composure quickly "Regardless of who the father is the mother's health is not in good shape. She needs rest, and as her husb-"

"Why should I care for her when the child isn't mine?" Leonard cut him off, the his eyes cold as they locked onto mine "How shameless." I stared back at him, unable to believe the words coming out of his mouth.
