Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 479 Open Your Eyes

Julian couldn't stay long. He only had a two-week business trip. But aside from working, he spent most of his time in my hospital ward. He was always worrying about my condition.

As he put it, many patients' cancer cells would suddenly spread after surgery, and I had to be extra cautious. Fortunately, it seemed that luck was on my side. My condition was gradually improving. However, Jack seemed to have gotten busier. He only visited once a day at most.

One afternoon, when Julian brought lunch, he looked particularly displeased.

"The chefs are on strike. The food here in Erewhon tastes awful. I can't even finish a bite!" he complained, glaring at the takeaway bags.

"The pizza and breadsticks from the fast food restaurant are just too salty."

We ate and made small talk. Suddenly, the conversation shifted to the situation back home. Julian looked at me curiously. "Since you used to be with Leonard, is he really as impressive as people say? He has cornered Luca so badly that he's probably desperate. After Leonard heard Luca was going to help you escape, he contacted Daryl."

I couldn't help but laugh. This takeout was hard to stomach after getting used to Jack's cooking.
