Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

This month, I spent every day in the hospital, just eating and sleeping. Now that I had finally started working again, my mood felt different. Thinking about how Alisa was about to enter a new phase of her life, my emotions couldn't help but rise with excitement.

I had asked Crystal to prepare the documents I had previously drafted for Alisa's wedding gift.

Maybe the Green family had lost much of their former influence, but I wanted Alisa to have something she could rely on.

I was "dead", but my patents remained. I felt bitterness surge within me, especially since the Harmon family was still using many of them.

With Leonard's character, I knew he would never continue paying me royalties. After all, patent fees weren't cheap, so why would he waste money on a dead person? If these patents were given to Alisa, she would have the leverage to stand against the Harmon family. On the day of their wedding, I was excitedly watching the live stream. The Pope family, being a large and influential family, was using the occasion to promote their company.

Green Group had been making waves these last couple of years, and the Pope family seemed eager to show off. The wedding venue was lavishly decorated, and I finally felt some relief.

Alisa had worked hard for over 20 years and was finally about to find her happiness. I couldn't help but feel a bit excited for the union of two sharp-tongued individuals. There were many familiar faces at the wedding. Julian, in particular, kept texting me from the moment the ceremony began.

"It's about to start! Don't forget to watch the live stream."

Another text came in, "Lisa looks absolutely stunning today. No photo could do her beauty justice."

Before I could respond, I received another message from him, "She's not wearing high heels-she's wearing the Corgi slippers we bought together! Good thing she's wearing a trailing wedding gown, or she'd be committing a fashion disaster."

Julian had turned into a chatterbox, sending me messages every few minutes. Eventually, I couldn't stand it any longer and called him.

"Julian, can you just throw your phone away? Can't you focus on the wedding for once?"

His voice was a bit shaky, and I could tell that he was emotional.

"Yes, don't worry. I'll take good care of her. I won't let you down."

After hanging up, I felt a strange mix of emotions-like a mother watching her daughter get married.

On the live stream, Alisa walked toward Julian, her face glowing with happiness. Just as they were about to hold hands, the doors to the wedding hall were suddenly flung open.

"Eva, I know you're here! You have to be, right? Alisa, where did you hide her? Where did you hide her!"

It was Leonard's voice. I instinctively brought my phone closer to me, and the camera immediately zoomed in on him.

He was dressed in a sharp suit, his

hair carefully styled. But his face had become gaunt, with sunken cheeks, I could barely recognize the man on the screen. He walked forward step by step, only to be stopped by security.

"Alisa, please tell me where Eva is! I know she's not dead. I dreamt of her. She's alive, she's really alive!"

The live stream abruptly cut off, and the screen went black.

I bit my lip hard, fuming with anger.

Damn that Leonard! Why was he causing trouble at a time like this?

He thought I was still alive? Julian had told me that Leonard had only been pretending to look for me. Now, he was coming here to play the heartbroken lover. He was all dressed up and acting concerned. They'd think he was the groom if someone didn't know any better.

I paced back and forth in my hospital ward, seething. What had happened at the scene? If Leonard disrupted Alisa's wedding, I would haunt him even after death.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

I quickly searched for the live stream

recording to see if Leonard had involved reporters or media in his little stunt. I didn't expect that in the final frame, I saw Amelia holding a child at the door. en
