Chapter 357 Whose Fault Is It
I had known Jack for a long time, but this was the first time he had spoken so much to me. Only now did I know that we had actually met each other in Manovia several years ago
"Back then, I followed you all the way back to the hospital. That was when a thought occurred to me. This little girl might've been intellectually challenged..."
I shot a sharp gaze his way, and Jack immediately changed the way he described me.
"I mean... the little girl could remember her way back to the hospital. What a clever girl"
THE
I immediately gave up fighting back. It didn't matter how he put it, he still thought of me as a lady who was intellectually challenged. With that said, it was a good thing that he made a proper Investigation and cleared my name. "After that, I made some investigations out of curiosity. That was when I found out that you had your reasons to be crying so pitifully.
"I know a little about the things between you and Leonard. I thought he would've treated you well. Please accept my apology. Things at the McLennon family were too chaotic back then." Jack was a little guilty. He even clenched his fists.
"It has nothing to do with you. There's no need for an apology." I had never thought of myself as some lady who should've been protected by someone else. At the very least, I was someone who could pull through most hardships. However, thinking about my past made me...
I leaned dejectedly on the railing. As expected, it was very tall. In fact, it came up to my neck. It was no wonder I couldn't leap over it back then,
I felt better when I laid my eyes on the shimmering surface of the river. I proceeded to bare my soul to Jack and told him about everything in the past. Then, I added. "My relationship with Leonard lasted so many years. I thought I could let it go, but I wasn't able to move on from him. It's really hard to change once we've gotten used to having someone around. That's just how humans are.
"Every time I saw him bring a lady home, I wanted to tell Leonard about what really happened back then. But now, I intend to do nothing of the sort. "He did misread the situation, and he's not to be blamed entirely for Amelia's pregnancy. In fact, both of us love each other, so how did it end like this? I don't even know whose fault it is or whom to blame for it."
I started sobbing again as I spoke. I hurriedly wiped off my tears. That was enough crying for today. I was done.
"Indeed, Leonard has his faults," As usual, Jack didn't reveal any emotions, but he did respond confidently. "Your cancer relapsed twice. If he had just put down his pitiful pride for a second and investigated the whole thing properly, he would've found out the truth. "It's commonplace for cancer patients to pass out. On top of that, there are side effects of taking the relevant medications. In fact, it wouldn't have taken 4 genius to figure it out. He didn't find it out for so long because he wasn't attentive."
I gave lack a look of surprise. I didn't think that this w

I felt a little discouraged. "What did I do wrong?
"You took the wrong step when you left him and hid the truth from him," Jack spoke with the same tone and expression. However, there was something different about him. He seemed to be somewhat annoyed Then, he pulled out his packet of cigarettes before he tucked it away again.
"On ahead and smoke. It's fine."
"That won't be necessary. I merely smoke from time to time." Jack gripped the railing and looked into the distance.
"Eve, if what you said is true and you two love each other so much, then you should have faith in him. Trust that he'll be there with you as you pull through a difficult moment in your life.
