Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 255

Chapter 255 She Gets What She Wants

Julian wore his white coat and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looked quite intimidating whenever his expression was stony.

He wasn't lying at all. It was true that I almost died a few times in the past.

The interns behind Julian dared not make a peep. They just stood at the doorway quietly.

Since Julian had already said his piece, the onlookers became even more agitated.

"Women who have gone through miscarriages need to rest for a long time! If that patient gets. mad at the mistress during her rehabilitation period, her health will definitely take a toll!" "C'mon, that mistress definitely knows that! Why else would she visit the patient this frequently?"

"That's a lot of doctors! That patient must be severely ill, right? Don't tell me she might end up dying because of the emotional turmoil caused by the mistress!"

I wouldn't know about that. All I knew was that Amelia was extremely angry right now.

She had always been the prideful type who cared more about her image. It had been a personality trait of hers since our university days.

Now that was actively criticizing her, she couldn't care less about her image. anymore. Instead, she pointed at me angrily.

"Eva Green, how dare you slander me!"

I just shrugged in response while gazing at her impassively. "I didn't say anything."

Alisa and Julian were the ones who said everything. Their actions had nothing to do with me.

Amelia's rage intensified when she saw how nonchalant I looked. Suddenly, she let out a cold chuckle before stroking her own belly.

"It's true that you're in poor health, Eva. It's just a miscarriage, yet you've been hospitalized for such a long time. Could it be that you're actually afflicted with a terminal disease?

"It seems that you won't be able to get pregnant in the future. Leonard won't want to be with a woman like you."

Amelia didn't care about how others thought of her, hence her decision to go full-out on insulting me.

Alisa wanted nothing more than to rip Amelia into pieces. Thankfully, Julian quickly stopped

her.

My expression remained impassive as ever. Amelia was right. What she said was the truth.

Then, Julian performed a check-up on me. After making sure that my blood pressure stayed the same, he nodded, clearly pleased with the results.

"Good. I want you to stay like this from now on."

"Does that mean Eva can get discharged from the hospital now?"

Alisa scooted toward me instantly. She instinctively hid the bag of sandwiches behind the curtains while looking sheepish..

Julian pretended not to see the bag. "Eva, if you can stay like this, you'll be fine. Had you chosen to not care so much about Leonard from the start, your condition might not have relapsed."

I nodded silently. It was true that I had cared too much about Leonard in the past.

If I didn't care about him at all, perhaps my life would be a lot happier and more relaxed.

Originally, I didn't know why Amelia chose to visit me. When Emma came to my ward later in

the afternoon, I found out about the actual reason.

Since I agreed to the Harmons' requirements and resigned from Harmon Group, Emma not

longer became Leonard's target at work.

"Eva, Leonard clearly thinks we're all idiots! He told the design department that the clients got the documents wrong, which led to the designs becoming problematic!

"The most ridiculous excuse I heard is that my signature on one of the documents doesn't fit the regulations. As if I can fuck up my own signature! Seriously, this is so fucking ridiculous! Anyway, Leonard used all sorts of ridiculous excuses just to absolve me of all legal liabilities."

Emma looked quite down. I just patted her on the hand.

"It doesn't matter what sort of excuses he used as long as you're not dragged into this mess."

"Not only did Leonard get me out of the mess, but he also wanted me to become the acting director of the design department. I said no. In the end, Matthew became the director."

Emma perked up when she mentioned Matthew becoming the director.

The design department didn't have a leader to take orders from. Amelia dared not take over my position because of what happened in the office last time. That was why Leonard wanted Emma to take over.

Emma claimed that she was worried about being used as the scapegoat, so she stood her ground and said no. In the end, Matthew became the acting director of the department.

"Matthew's really good at using words as his weapon! He fought and argued with Amelia every day. This morning, Leonard transferred Amelia to the design department and made her the acting director."

Emma burst into laughter after that.

Realization dawned on me at the same time. No wonder Amelia came looking for me resentfully.

Now that she was the acting director, she'd be the one going through all necessary documents.

If anything were to happen, she'd have to take responsibility.
