Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 380

Chapter 380 Don't Worry

"Eval" Jack's usually cold voice finally carried a hint of urgency. There were other noises as well, but I couldn't make them out. All I could feel was the excruciating pain in my hand. Someone was trying to pull Jack's hand away, but he refused, which hurt me even more.

Slowly opening my eyes, I turned to look at Jack. He was pulling my hand, with two doctors trying to pull him away. Behind Jack stood Alisa, who looked both anxious and uncomfortable. Just then, Julian pushed the door open and walked in. He looked at me and stated coldly, "Stop being dramatic. She's awake."

Upon hearing that, Jack stopped struggling against the doctors before rushing to my bedside. For once, his usually stoic face showed some excitement. Eva, Eva!"

That was all I could let out as I felt nothing but pain in my hand and head.

Jack wanted to lean in closer, but Alisa smacked him on the head.

"Mr. McLennan, right? Can you let go of her? Are you trying to crush her hand?"

Only then did Jack notice how pale my hand was due to his grip, and he looked embarrassed. This was the first time I saw him like this. I wanted to tease him, but I couldn't get any words out. Julian and another doctor examined me. When they confirmed that I just needed time to recover slowly, Alisa breathed a sigh of relief.
