Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 279

Chapter 279 A Family Member's Signature

I hadn't really paid much attention to Amelia. After all, Mr. Harmon Senior should have had Amelia under strict supervision. I knew all too well how much the Harmons valued this child.

Given Leonard's current condition, it might not even take three years for the medication's side effects to potentially affect his fertility. Naturally, Mr. Harmon Senior would want a great-grandson, and he would definitely prefer Leonard's son to be the heir. However, Alisa was right. On the way back from the airport, I received a call from an unknown number.

"Eva, why are you still clinging to Leonard? What the hell did you tell him? He refuses to let me stay at the Harmons! It must be because of you, you bitch!"

Amelia's venomous voice came through the phone, and I immediately hung up.

"Lisa's right. Stay away from her," Julian said flatly.

"Oh? You're calling her Lisa now?"

I smiled while shaking my head, casually blocking Amelia's number.

In less than a minute, she sent me a barrage of insulting messages. I had no idea what Leonard did to her, but I was certain that he refused to acknowledge her. Still, Leonard wanted the baby Amelia was carrying, didn't he? After giving it a thought, I decided to have Julian drive me back to the company instead of the hospital.

I was feeling fine at the moment. As long as I stuck to the medication and didn't overexert myself, I could function like a normal person.

Moreover, I no longer needed chemotherapy. My hair had finally grown back a little, which lifted my spirits up.

For the past few days, I had only been going back and forth between two places.

Glenn worked quickly, and the people he brought along were quite amazing. As expected of bright college students, they were all highly motivated and intelligent. They could grasp things quickly, making my work on the designs much easier. Even Crystal became much more lively. She said she finally regained the energy she had during her school days.

Unfortunately, one couldn't be too happy. When things went smoothly, something was bound to happen.

After I got an injection from the hospital that day, I arrived at the company later than usual. Amelia was there, at my office door.

"Crystal, we were roommates. Why are you siding with Eva? We've also been friends for four years."

In the few days of not meeting each other, Amella looked off. She was still guarding her belly as if she was afraid someone might bump into it. Yet, she still looked menacing.

Crystal and a male colleague were blocking the office door.

"Have you even thought about what you've done, Amelia? You don't actually expect me to support you in something like this, do you?"

Crystal, who was always smiling, now had a hint of anger in her tone. When she saw me approaching them, she kept giving me signals with her eyes. But I knew there was no way to avoid this.

"Amelia, what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing my voice, Amelia paused for a moment before storming toward me furiously. I instinctively took two steps back, while Glenn quickly stepped out and stood between us. "Amelia, let's talk this through. You're at our company, after all."

"Your company?" Amelia stated arrogantly as she lifted her head high.

"Harmon Group lent this office to you. The whole company belongs to Leonard."

Rubbing her belly, Amelia added, "And my son."

I exchanged glances with Crystal. We both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

When my phone rang, I noticed Amelia standing on her toes. She was trying to peek at my screen. I turned away to answer the phone.

"Hello, may I ask if you're Mr. Leonard Harmon's wife?"

""Yes, I am."

"I'm Leonard's attending physician. His treatment requires a family member's signature, so we need you to come in."

Stunned, I glanced at Amelia.

"Alright, I'll be there right away."
