Chapter 274 Who's to Blame?

Leonard didn't seem too good. He might've woken up, but he had a hollowed gaze. He turned his head sideways stiffly when he heard my footsteps, and there was a flicker in his eyes.

"Eva." Leonard's voice was hoarse, and tears started welling up in his eyes. I wasn't sure if he recalled something. I merely stood by the side of the hospital bed and lowered my head to look at him quietly.

He gulped several times, seemingly trying to say something. However, he didn't speak in the end. We merely looked into each other's eyes like that, and mine were devoid of emotions.

Then, I didn't know what else I could say. I couldn't forgive him, nor could I forgive myself. Both of us were inches away from each other, but we could no longer lay a finger on one another anymore.
