Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 453

Chapter 453 Putting on a Show

I thought that Leonard would finally back off once I had signed the documents. But no-he came to the hospital almost daily, bringing along a foreign medical team and, of course, reporters. His image as a devoted husband couldn't falter, and he was putting in every effort to keep up the act.

Julian, who had already devised a new treatment plan, was furious every time and ended up arguing with him.

"Leonard, I'm warning you-no. Eva is my patient! Get your team out of here. This isn't your family's hospital."

Leonard crossed his arms, unbothered. "But Eva isn't your test subject either. I have reason to believe the drugs you're using on her are in the clinical trial phase overseas. That's not exactly by the book, is it? Julian, I just want to help her recover. Why make this difficult?" Julian didn't budge, and with Jill's support and my insistence on Julian's treatment, Leonard was ultimately sent packing.
