Chapter 370 Chapter 370 Returning to Pyrosia It seerned that getting closure on emotional baggage improved my health. At the very least, I felt more energized.

Leonard never looked foragain, and everyone made it a point not to bring him up. Actually, I could just guess that there was probably something wrong with his son. He and Amelia were probably worried sick.

The Harmon family didn't seem to have much influence here. Leonard might be wealthy, but he couldn't get a lot of things done. Naturally, he wouldn't have the tto look for me.

Meanwhile, the project we were collaborating on finally got on track. I didn't manage to finish the design in the end. However, Crystal was very helpful with that. She led the team and worked overtfor an entire week. Eventually, they finished the work I didn't p go to the bidding conference, but Astrid did. She kept taking photos of Jack's impressive moments and toldthat he was the right man for me.

I watched a video clip she sent me. Jack was giving a speech in it. He didn't smile at all, and he looked absolutely stern. However, his voice was curiously soothing to hear. He even made a point to mention my nwhen he introduced the project. "Our excellent designer, Ms. Eva Green, is the person in charge of this project. She has participated in various major design projects in Pyrosia. She should be the one to introduce the project this time, but she isn't feeling quite well.

"I merely have the honor of doing the most glamorous part of the project in her stead." Astrid sounded excited even in her texts, "Did you watch the video? Jack is a stand-up guy. Don't miss out on him." My lips curled into a bitter grin. I was living the last moments of my life. It didn't matter if I missed out on Jack. I was aware of his feelings for me. It was just that I didn't want to reciprocate them.

I couldn't accept his kindness as if it was nothing, nor could 1 be together with him. So, I calculated everything and jotted down the amount of money I owed him. I intended to pay him in full later.

When Astrid and Jill dropped by to visit me, Astrid was dumbfounded for a second when she saw the money I transferred I explained to Astrid that it was reimbursement for the medical bills that Jack paid forrecently. It also included other miscellaneous expenses. That was when she grew panicky.

"No way, I can't take the money. Jack's going to kill me! Why don't you give it to him yourself, Eva? I don't want it. Leaveout of this! I don't want your money. I'm going to transfer it back to you now. You have no idea how scary Jack can be!" Astrid wanted to transfer the money back to me, and she askedto accept it.

"I know Jack won't accept money from me.' "Well, that doesn't mean I can take it!" A Astrid was determined and left no room for discussion. It looked like she was deathly afraid of Jack. Meanwhile, Jill was taking pleasure out of the whole debacle. "Geez Louise. It's not like the McLennon family needs this meager amount of money. You could just marry yourself to Jack as repayment." "Am 1 supposed to marry him, knowing I have cancer?" I rolled my eyes at Jill before looking at Astrid "Just keep my money in your account and transfer it to him after I return to Pyrosia." I was aware that a lot of follow-up work had to be done. So, Jack wasn't going to leave Manovia anytsoon.

"Are you going back to Pyrosia? Jill and Astrid spoke at almost the stime. I nodded gently in response.

"I've arranged to drop out of university here. I'll leave once the procedures are carried out Julian said that it would make no difference to my condition if I were overseas or in Pyrosia So, I thought I'd go back while I still can." My heart was filled with warmth when I thought of the texts Alisa and Rivaella sent me. At the very least, my family was in Pyrosia.

If things took a turn for the worse and I couldn't hold on anymore, the last thing I wanted was to die in sforeign country. It would be too tragic. 1 looked at Jill again. "Aren't you going back once the bidding is over?" "Huh? Um... Of course, I'm going back. But now isn't." I couldn't believe I saw Jill getting shy in front of my eyes. Then, it hit me. "Is Caleb not leaving?"

Jill nodded with a troubled expression. "He formed a gom company with his former Manavian with friends, and he wants to give it another shot. So, I want to stay here and support him for a good while."
