Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 10

Ever since I started working again, I felt my spirit returning a little. Most importantly, I finally had a salary.

The finance team had miraculously given me a month's base pay yesterday. 20,000 dollars was already a huge sum for me.

I did not dwell on why I got a full month's pay for just three days of work. Leonard would not care about such a small amount of money anyway.

I immediately transferred ten thousand dollars to Emma. It had been a lot of work for her to bring healthy meals for two people every day.

Although her salary was not low, having to take care of both her grandmother and me was really too much.

Sadly, she did not accept the money. She even came to the hospital to scold me.

"What am I? A beggar? You think just anyone can eat the food made by the great Ms. Carter? Don't transfer me anything less than ten or 20 million."

I held my bowl while smiling at her. "Emma, I went back to work and got paid. He he."

"What are you grinning about? Your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Hurry up and eat, you're so annoying."
