Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294 A Walking Contradiction 

A deep sorrow lingered in Amelia’s eyes. She frantically grabbed Leonard’s hand, but he pushed her away. 

“What are you up to? Did I tell you to stay at home?” 

“Leo, t–there is a problem with the baby. The doctor says I might lose it. Leo, what should we do about our baby?” 

Amelia tried to grab Leonard’s hand again, but he avoided her. 

“I am not a doctor. You should talk to a doctor. Why are you talking to me about it?” 

I had heard such cold statements from him more times than I could remember. 

Leonard treated me the same way after we got married. There were sweet exchanges during the initial stages of the marriage, but happiness became nothing more than a distant memory 

after that. 

I looked down, concealing the emotions in my eyes. I didn’t want to get in between their squabble. 

Amelia continued to plead. I could feel Leonard’s eyes were on me. 

Penelope couldn’t bear to watch. When she was about to get up, she heard a loud bang. 

Amelia collapsed on the ground. 

“Are you okay, Ms. Miller?” 

Penelope was a sharp police officer, and she responded quickly. However, she was too late. 

Alisa wanted to reach for her but eventually retracted her hand. She tightly hugged my shoulder. 

I knew she hated Amelia, and she projected her hatred on Leonard too. 

Amelia had fainted and was on the ground, unconscious. 

Only then did Leonard frown unconsciously. After that, he closed his eyes. 

When he opened his eyes again, an unusual emotion lingered in his eyes. Then, he carried Amelia from the ground. 

“Eva, about us…” 

“Bring her to the doctor. The baby is more important now.” 

I didn’t feel much and was merely stating the truth. 

Leonard seemed surprised by my graciousness. He was stunned for a brief second before

bringing Amelia outside. 

“Disgusting.” Alisa rolled her eyes, completely disregarding how she came off. 

Leonard left, and I urged everyone else to go. I needed a good rest. 

Amelia’s piercing gaze from earlier lingered in my mind. 

Was I like her when I lost my baby? 

However, I couldn’t recall the incident anymore. 

When Caleb came, I was lying on the bed, restless. 

“Eva, did you hear about the baby?” 

He seemed to find it challenging to put something unspeakable into words, but it looked like 

he had to tell me. 

I nodded and shook my head. “I know something is wrong.” 

However, I could roughly guess what happened. 

The quality of the semen was questionable. No matter how healthy the woman was, it was still 

tricky to keep the baby. 

Leonard had been hurt countless times. Amelia’s baby may not survive. 

Caleb sighed and sat by my bedside. 

““Amelia bled the second time. The doctor said it was an early sign of a miscarriage. I’m not 

entirely sure about the details. Granduncle Ian had hired plenty of help for her. It looks pretty 

serious.” 

“What’s the status now?” 

Leonard had left with her for over three hours. There should have been an update on the 

situation. 

Leonard did not return, and no one gave me an update. 

“She’s temporarily okay, but the doctor says it’s not looking good.” 

Amelia’s baby was in trouble, so everyone in the Harmon family was here. 

Caleb wanted to get discharged today, but he had to delay it. 

He thought of Amelia as his school senior, so he would care about her occasionally. 

“Eva, do you think Leonard’s baby will survive? Granduncle lan said he initially wanted to have kids after three years. Is it because of that mistress?” 

I stayed silent and didn’t nod my head.
