Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 25 Prophecy

Upon hearing my words, Leonard said, "Eva, since when were you so unreasonable? Do you think threatening me with a divorce can offset the damage caused by your absence from work? If you want money, work hard. Don Lassume that you own the company" Then, Leonard let me go. He frowned at me as if I was being unreasonable, but I couldn't understand his statement

It seemed like Leonard had forgotten that I was his wife. Of course, Thad a share in the company. But I didn't want to argue with Leonard.

Ishrugged and said, "I never knew I was so important. How did Harmon Group survive without me in the past? If I'm that important, I'm ser

I pushed Leonard aside and tossed my bag onto the couch. Displeased with my attitude, Leonard grabbed my wrist again. He paused

"Why did you lose weight? Haven't you been eating

Thadn't expected him to notice my weight loss. I scoffed, refusing to answer him.

I'm severely underpaid."

The truth was I didn't have much of an appetite. Patrick told me that I might lose my appetite even more after chemotherapy, but I had to eat nonetheless. Otherwise, my body would collapse.

Seeing how my wrist turned red from Leonard's grip, I sighed 1 was too skinny, and my bones may really break.

"Eva, can you not be like this? You're the design director, and many things are pending your approval. You cannot simply leave the company," Leonard said.

I couldn't help but talk back to him. "So? Why didn't you answer Zachary's call then? Oh, you didn't pick up my calls either. Lily said you were busy."

I gazed at Leonard emotionlessly. He seemed to be surprised and panicked for a moment, but it all eventually turned into anger.

"Eva, Thad an important meeting in the afternoon. Don't be so unreasonable. Why is the fault always on someone else? Can't you reflect on yourself?

"You were never like this when we were in university. Why do you blame innocent people now?

Isilently watched Leonard rage. I felt numb. I realized I couldn't remember how I used to be in university. I wondered if Leonard still remembered how I used to be.

To Leonard, Lily was innocent. But what about me? Did I deserve it?

Closing my eyes, I could feel that my eyes were beginning to tear up. Leonard was right. I was different from my university days because Leonard would trust me unconditionally in the past.

Years ago, I was falsely accused of plagiarizing my graduation thesis. Although it could've won the best graduation thesis award, I had to undergo an investigation. Everyone thought that since I was rich, thad the money to buy someone else's thesis.

The other party was a student in poverty, and she studied hard. That made her seem more convincing. She claimed that my thesis was a revision of her thesis. Even my supervisor did not side with me.

At that time, it felt like my world had collapsed. I was concerned about graduation, but being wrongly accused was something else. No one believed in me, and only a handful of friends supported me.

I didn't see Leonard for a week. Aside from the occasional calls and texts, Leonard never showed up. But a week later, he presented my supervisor with security footage and my handwritten thesis drafts. It was only then I found out what he had been doing. Leonard worked with a few other students and hacked into the university's security system. He found evidence of the other party plagiarizing my thesis. Then, Leonard went through the garbage to find my handwritten notes.

For one whole week, Leonard barely slept. When he showed up before me, he stinked. But didn't mind that, I embraced him tightly.

At that moment, he was my light. He was the person that I was set on for life. But now, Leonard gazed at me with distrust.

I looked away. People change-it was a fact that I've known since I was a child, but I didn't know why I only understood it now.

Suddenly, blood oozed out of my nose. I covered my nose out of reflex, but the blood still seeped through my fingers.

Leonard looked at me in a panic. He hurriedly gave me a tissue. "What's wrong? What's happening to you?" His voice trembled, and he seemed genuinely afraid.

Leonard had always been like that. Every time I thought he still loved me, he would bring other women home and tell me that he didn't me anymore. But when I thought he hated me and wished for me to die, he would show that he cared I pushed Leonard away and covered my nose with tissue.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Fin having a nosebleed because I'm mad at you! Why else? As long as I don't see you, I'll be good, and I can live a long life! Otherwise, I'd be so mad that I might just die because of you and your mistress!"

I was telling Leonard the truth. Patrick told me to stay happy. Otherwise, being angry could worsen my condition.

Leonard's face fell, and he snarled, "Fine then! Eva, even if you beg me to care, I will not care for you anymore. I don't care if you get a nosebleed. Even if you bleed to death, newer care about you again!" Then, Leonard picked up his jacket and lett, slamming the door behind him. When I heard the door slam shut, my heart started to ache again.

1 let the blood freely low down, and itched my shirt red

"Leonard, do you not know about prophecies? What if your words came true?" I thought
