Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 390

Chapter 390 Put My Mind at Ease 

No wonder lawyers were at the top of the food chain. The matter was temporarily resolved with Phineas Lloyd’s presence. 

The police officers didn’t dare to question me harshly anymore. Leonard also left with Amelia in his arms. 

Phineas escalated the matter and gave Daryl a stern lecture on the law. He even told Daryl that I had the right to complain. Only then did Daryl leave in fury. 

Meanwhile, I lowered my gaze as I sat on the bed, unwilling to talk about the commotion 

How did it turn this way? 

I had no idea. 

Jack seemed to have sensed my emotions. He took some milk from the fridge and asked a nurse to warm it up, 

“I have two men with you.” 

‘Hah?” 

“The two bodyguards outside are to protect you. Jill will handle the rest.” 

His expression appeared flat, but worry lingered in his eyes. 

I shook my head. “Many would pass by. This is the VIP ward. It’s fine.” 

“Your safety comes first. It’s settled” Jack sounded calm, but there was no room for negotiation 

I lowered my head and stayed silent, feeling unsettled within me. All I wanted was to recover well. Was that too much to ask? 

The nurse brought the milk back Jack tested the temperature of the milk before handing it to me, 

“Drink some milk. You need more protein. Oh, there’s progress in Caleb’s case.” 

I felt slightly energized when I heard it. “What’s the update?” 

“There are no problems with the company at the moment.” 

I relaxed at his statement. I never wanted anything to happen to Caleb. Other than him, no one else in the Harmon family was kind to me. Plus, he was Till’s boyfriend now. 

I thought about the large sum Jill invested and asked, “Is game research and development costly? Jill invested millions.” 

I was no stranger to technology, but the money seemed excessive. 

Jack shook his head. “It’s hard to say. I’ve asked around. Many games are this costly. Leonard’s company has launched a few small games, so we can’t say that he isn’t researching and developing However, most gaming companies don’t make a profit, so the chances of the business failing is pretty high. 

I silently nodded. Software development was not a frat that guaranteed overnight success. Plus, even if it failed, Jill wouldn’t even mind the money last and would still comfort Caleb. 

“If you’re still doubtful, I can look deeper into it. I’ll head to Manovia tonight.” 

“T–That won’t be necessary. You don’t need to fly to Manovia to investigate him.” I quicldy shook my head. I would feel extremely indebted to Jack if he flew abroad to help me 

He chuckled. “Did you forget we have a project in Manovia? I want to check on the venue and negotiate a few partnerships.” 

My face flushed red as I was unsure what to say. I had not followed up on the progress of the project, so I was unsure where we were at now. 

Jack passed me the milk. 

I might be gone for a few days. When the time comes, I’ll help you investigate Caleb. It doesn’t matter if something is wrong with him or not; I’ll do everything to put your mind at ease. Don’t leave the hospital for now. The bodyguards will protect you. And I’ll get another person to help Nina take care 

of you 

Jack had arranged everything for me, and 1 felt moved. 

It had been a long time since someone had been so kind to 

Ito the. It would have be 

been a le if I said I wasn’t moved. 

I lowered my head, stared at my skinny fingers, and firmly shook my head. 

“There’s security in the hospital, so there’s no need for bodyguards. The nurses and Nina are enough. It’s not like I can’t move around ” “These people I’ve arranged are not for you” Jack sat un my bed and looked at me deeply. “Their presence puts iny mind at ease”
