Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 412 I Can't Come Over

Once the chemotherapy session was over, Julian kept frowning when he looked at my report.

"Am I going to meet my maker soon?" I smiled as I looked at him, but he just rolled his eyes at me..

"Is that what you want? Just focus on your recovery and stop thinking about useless stuff." This time, Julian didn't tease me, which probably meant that my health was in dire condition.

Alisa came to the hospital more frequently. Every time she was here, she'd stay with me and refused to leave. Although she was always smiling, I could see her reddened eyes from time to time.

We were the only family left for each other in this world. If I died, she would be left all alone.

With that said, I thought of Julian. I had a feeling that Alisa would do just fine even if I was dead.

In order to let me focus on my recovery, Julian directly told Jack to send his men to keep an eye on me and make sure I didn't go anywhere. Anyone who wanted to enter my ward would have to get his permission beforehand.

There were a lot of people who wanted to talk to me. There were even some reporters who were here to get the scoop on me. It was a good thing that the hospital security guards and my bodyguards were very efficient in their job. They kept anyone from disturbing me. Three days came and went. I had just felt slightly better when Penelope dropped by.

"We're not here to question you this time. Instead, we're to collect evidence." She produced some materials and a name list.

"See if you know these people. Also, can you recall the projects they handled?"

I glanced at the names on the list. As expected, a good number of them were my former colleagues, and they came from different departments. "Are they all pressing charges against Harmon Group?"

Penelope nodded. "The situation has blown up. Everyone used to stay quiet about their unfair treatment, but they no longer want to continue doing that. Aside from pressing charges, they probably want the whole thing to become a trending topic. My leader sent me here to replace out if you want to be a part of the joint lawsuit."

"I'm not doing that." I shook my head with a blank expression. "I can tell you about my former colleagues' situation if you need me to provide you with some information."

Penelope looked at me in surprise. "Are you sure you're not going to press charges?"

I shook my head. "After all, they didn't pin the blame on me, did they?"

It didn't matter if anyone wanted to frame me for the mistake as it was no longer possible now. Filing a lawsuit would get me a meaningless apology, at most. There was also a good chance that the court case would drag on for several years, and I didn't have that kind of time.

Penelope didn't try to talk me out of it. Instead, she said it was fine as long as I had thought it through.

Before she left, she looked at me again. "Harmon Group is going to have to pay through their noses for this. Also, some of their projects have ceased construction. In a way, they've received their due punishment."

"Okay." I lowered my gaze and looked at my phone, not intending to say anything further. It no longer had anything to do with me.

"Daryl is going to... Well, you take good care of yourself now."

I was gripped with a mix of emotions after she left my ward.

Things took a drastic turn yet again. When the nurse came over to give me an injection, I stared at the liquid in the bottle and thought that I might've been saved for real. Perhaps I would be able to live several more years if I maintained a good and happy mood. My phone rang once more, and I answered it without a second thought.

"Are you still at the hospital, Eva?"

I immediately sat upright when I heard his voice. "Is there anything you need from me, Mr. Harmon Senior?"

"Yeah. You probably know what has been going on in Harmon Group. I want you to come over to the villa. I need to have a word with you." His voice was as cold as ever. He even sounded a little commanding.

If something like this had happened in the past, I would've gone over immediately. However, things were different now.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Harmon Senior. I can't."
