Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 145

Chapter 145 Did You Two Make Up

When I was bored in the hospital, I'd get Mom's diary and flip through it.

In fact, Mom had her doubts about Randall's betrayal, and she harbored suspicion about the timing of his wife and daughter's departure right after I left.

I left the country due to cancer. What about them? Given the relationship between our families, we could have left for abroad together, but not once had Randall brought up his wife and daughter's departure. It was so suspicious.

Randall had called my dad before disappearing, but we had no idea about the conversation that ensued. The driver who crashed into my dad and killed him was equally suspicious-his wife and kid received a large sum of money after the accident.

However, Mom's investigation only discovered that the money was from a charity organization, which made sense. However, she could not help but wonder why the organization picked the Vargas family over the other more deserving and financially needy families. Everything appeared fishy, but Mom could not continue her investigations after she fell sick from cancer.

I stared at the photo in her diary. It was a group photo of our family and the Vargas family-both families. of three.

Trecalled they had a daughter, Rivaella, who would be a high schooler this year. But where were they?

Entertaining the possibility that Randall had left for abroad to meet with his wife and daughter, I decided to look into the matter.

Unlike me, who was practically an outsider and hospitalized in Melgrove, Zack was well-connected in this. region. When I texted him for help, he immediately went to work without any questions.

I finally recovered from the fever after three days of getting infusions. The doctor nagged at me to rest up, and I agreed.

In fact, I did rest well, but I feared it was too late to save my health at this point.

I was in the midst of getting discharged when Emma called.

"Eva, when are you coming home? Alisa is so close to camping at your husband's office. People in the company are saying that she's about to take over your place. Do you even take it seriously? How about I go on that business trip for you, so you could keep an eye on your husband?"

I had been reading the casual work chat full of gossip almost daily. Alisa was not exactly a lovable character, or perhaps, that was exactly the persona she intended to build.

Alisa never spent time currying the favors of people whom she had nothing to do with. All her focus was on Leonard.

Everyone referred to her as a little bitch who tried to seduce her cousin's husband, but no one dared say it aloud since Leonard himself did not openly stop Alisa's advances. Not only that, he was infamous for his multiple affairs. In the past, he would change partners every quarter.

After the hoo-ha between Leonard and Lily, no one could be sure that Alisa wasn't on her way to becoming the second Lily.

"Say something! I thought you made up with Leonard. Why do you not care about him and Alisa? You can't be thinking of a divorce still..."

I was suddenly at a loss for words when Emma breached the topic of divorce. It was true that I wanted a

divorce because I did not want to be a burden to Leonard. But on second thought, I should not get a divorce right now, as I had to look into the matters involving my parents. If I divorced Leonard, I would have no way of getting near the Green family.

TI think about divorce in the future. I'm hanging up now." I decided to hang up as I was tired of the talk about divorce.

When I turned around, I found Zack standing at the door. I had no idea how long he had been listening to my conversation.

"Did you two make up?" Disappointment filled his tone

I hurriedly changed the topic of conversation. "Zack, have you tracked down the people I wanted you to investigate?

He dropped the topic too because he sensed I was reluctant to engage further. "I did, but Randall Vargas wife passed away from a car accident
