Chapter 425 Chapter 425 The Only Son Leonard entered the ward, and I didn't allow Alisa to cin.

His earlier words were quite clear. He was reminding both Alisa andof something.

1/1 Once inside, his worry was palpable as he looked at me. "What did the doctor say? Is it true you've relapsed for the third time?" "Just spit it out. What do you want?" I glared at him coldly, pulling out my phone to record. I wouldn't let my guard down without knowing his intentions.

The Leonard I once knew was upright and trustworthy, but the man beforewas different. I no longer had faith in him. The next moment, he stepped forward and took my phone away.

"Eva, don't try that with me. I know you better than you know yourself." He powered off my phone and placed it on the bed, squatting down to meet my gaze. "Eva, we shouldn't be like this." I had so much I wanted to say, but there was really nothing left to discuss. He had changed. He was no longer the Leonard I once knew, and I had no feelings left for this new version of him. "So, what do you want? I won't remarry you." That was my bottom line. I had finally broken free, and I didn't want to be tied to him again in the last moments of my life. He put on a bitter smile while shaking his head.

"Eva, you should understand I'm also being forced to do this. Living with the Harmon family isn't easy." In that instant, his eyes were sincere, and I knew he was telling the truth. Mr. Harmon Senior had laid out a path for him, and if he swayed away from it, he would lose everything. He was going to pursue this whether or not I agreed.

He kept mentioning how Luca was pressuring him and how the board of directors was on his back. He got so furious when he mentioned Mr. Harmon Senior.

"Eva, you know he's never had high hopes for me. I would've been discarded long ago if I hadn't been performing well in recent years. Even though I'm his grandson, he prioritizes his interests over anything else. He has already given Luca 5% of the shares. If I don't have his backing, I'm done for." I stared at him, surprised by this revelation about Luca.

5% was a significant chunk. The fact that Mr. Harmon Senior had so easily given the shares away showed that he was considering changing the heir to the Peyton family.

Leonard grasped my hands, looking desperate. "Eva, I need your help. I can only succeed with your influence and the media on our side." His eyes held desperation, and I could see tears brimming. I knew he truly needed my help, but I quietly withdrew my hands.

"Sorry, but that's not happening. You and Amelia have a child together. Marrying her is the best choice. Please don't getinvolved." It was a concern that had lingered in my mind for stime. If he married Amelia, it would certainly help him regain a positive public image. The netizens wouldn't dwell on the past.

Everyone loved the story of a wealthy heir who was devoted.

For the sake of his career, he just needed to put on a performance. I knew he could pull it off.

But he shook his head vehemently.

"No, I won't marry that lunatic. I've om always loved only you, Eva. We will have a good good life together. I may not have more children in the future, but we'll have our only son."

The thought of what Amelia said previously struck me, and I m swallowed hard. Had she really drugged Was he incapable of having children now? Before I could process that information, Leonard squeezed my hand again.

"So, you don't have to worry. You and the child are my everything. As long as we remarry, we'll definitely live a happy life. Eva, will you marryagain? "1
