Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 380

Chapter 380 Don’t Worry 

“Eval” Jack’s usually cold voice finally carried a hint of urgency. There were other noises as well, but I couldn’t make them out. All I could feel was the excruciating pain in my hand. 

Someone was trying to pull Jack’s hand away, but he refused, which hurt me even more. 

Slowly opening my eyes, I turned to look at Jack. He was pulling my hand, with two doctors trying to pull him away. Behind Jack stood Alisa, who looked both anxious and uncomfortable. 

Just then, Julian pushed the door open and walked in. He looked at me and stated coldly, “Stop being dramatic. She’s awake.” 

Upon hearing that, Jack stopped struggling against the doctors before rushing to my bedside. For once, his usually stoic face showed some excitement. Eva, Eva!” 

That was all I could let out as I felt nothing but pain in my hand and head. 

Jack wanted to lean in closer, but Alisa smacked him on the head. 

“Mr. McLennan, right? Can you let go of her? Are you trying to crush her hand?” 

Only then did Jack notice how pale my hand was due to his grip, and he looked embarrassed. This was the first time I saw him like this. I wanted to tease him, but I couldn’t get any words out. 

Julian and another doctor examined me. When they confirmed that I just needed time to recover slowly, Alisa breathed a sigh of relief. 

“You scared me to death, Eva. I thought I was going to end up all alone again,” Alisa complained in tears. Then, she wiped my face with the tissues she had just used to wipe her tears.. 

I wanted to reach my hands out to

it, but I just couldn’t. 

Luckily, Julian, with his obsession with cleanliness, noticed it and quickly snatched the tissues from her. 

“She needs to rest. She won’t be able to do so with you here. Out you go 

I looked at Julian gratefully. He was always the one to step in at crucial moments. However, Jack stood there stubbornly, still staring at me, 

In the end, Alisa couldn’t hold it any longer and said, “Hey, let’s go. She needs to rest. Don’t think you can do anything to her just because you saved her. 

Julian wrapped his arms around Alisa’s waist, dragging her outside. “Give him 30 seconds to talk to her.” When they were outside, Jack approached me and touched my forehead gently. He looked down at me. After what felt like ten seconds, he uttered, “Don’t worry. I won’t let the one who hurt you get away with it.” 

He was punctual in my eyes, as it took him exactly 30 seconds to talk to me. 

My spirits seemed to have lifted after I saw them. I could finally fall asleep. 

During this period, I kept drifting in and out of sleep. Then, I realized what had happened to me. The thief had smashed my head with the vase from my doorway. 

There was a blood clot in my brain, so I had to have surgery. I wasn’t even done with my cancer surgery yet, and now, my head had to be cut open again, 1 figured I’d be stuck with wigs in this lifetime. 

Besides Jill and the others who visited me frequently, Jack would come every day. But he seemed quite busy as he would only visit me in the middle of the night when I was half–asleep. 

Sometimes, he would come at dawn to have a glance at me before leaving in a hurry. But each time, he would tell me not to worry and that he would get revenge for me. 

I would only reply to Jack briefly because Julian strictly limited how much I could talk since I needed to rest

The other regular visitor was Alisa. She was practically living in the hospital now. Other than worrying about my health, she would also ask about m
