Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 233

Chapter 233 Love Has Conditions

I turned to meet her eyes, noticing the flicker of uncertainty. At that moment, I knew Julian's suspicions were probably right.

Leonard hadn't sustained any serious damage to his nervous system from his injury, so there had to be something else. Most likely, it was Amelia who had manipulated the situation. She was skilled, and I had to give her that. Not only had she fooled everyone around her, but she had also managed to escape the scrutiny of the doctors.

Maybe, like she said, fate had thrown her a lifeline, giving her this chance to win over Leonard.

I repeated my question, watching her closely. "Amelia, would you ever hurt Leonard?

"You remember he was poisoned by Lily before. That toxin will take three years to leave his system fully. And when he saved me, he was exposed to radiation that damaged his body." She shot to her feet, glaring at me. "Is this your way of bragging about how much he loved you?

"So what? He doesn't even remember anymore."

I stayed calm. "Amelia, his body can't take any more stress-physically or mentally."

I didn't want to say too much or push her too far. After all, we had lived together for four y years in college, and I knew her temper well. She had always been sensitive to anything that made her feel inferior.

Sure enough, when she heard how fragile Leonard's health was, she paused, considering my words. Then she nodded seriously.
