Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Time to Step Down

As I gazed at the ring that had been with me for three years, I felt a lump in my throat. The joy felt when I first put it on now matched the sorrow in my heart. Leonard might never understand how I feel, and I don't expect him to.

"Eva, I'm sorry I didn't know you had low blood sugar. You must have been scared, which is why you pawned the ring, right? Leonard said, his voice laced with regret

"I've already had Emilia transfer a million dollars into your account. You can use it however you want. There's no need to pawn the ring anymore," he added.

He stood up, looking at me with deep affection, trying to put the ring back on my finger. I took two steps backward, my expression wold of any emotion

He could go through all this trouble to find the ring, even buy it back for me, yet he hadn't bothered to check what illness I was suffering from?I didn't know whether to feel happy or sad. It seemed like my condition didn't concern him as much as he pretended it did. Sering that I wasn't willing to wear the ring, he pulled out the large diamond ring he'd given me at our last anniversary.

"This ring was bought just for you. You've lost weight, so it's a bit loose. But it still wasn't meant for anyone else."

He stubbornly placed the ring in my hand. I hesitated, looking at it. He made a good point, but I just didn't care anymore.

I placed the ring back in his pocket. "It's too expensive. Let's just leave it."
