"Ms. Miller isn't even as pretty as Eva. How could Mr. Harmon like her?" "Looks aren't everything for a first love-it's about the feelings, the connection."

But what exactly should I be careful of? Leonard now believed Amelia was the girlfriend who was with him during college, and I was nothing but a gold- digging woman trying to manipulate him. He was avoidinglike the plague and had been staying at the Harmon residence, completely forgetting he even had a home.

Leonard seemed to be acting like he was back in a relationship again, bringing Amelia food every day. Donuts, cinnamon rolls, molten chocolate cakes, custard pudding... Each tshe saw these desserts, she frowned. Back in her freshman year, Amelia was a bit overweight and awkward, and a lot of people made fun of her. Determined to lose weight, she swore off high-calorie foods like these.

And Leonard seemed to forget that these were all things I loved.

Even though Amelia didn't eat them, Leonard made excuses, insisting she'd just changed her taste while studying abroad, which was why she was so thin now.

He didn't hold back in front of the entire department, even showing sresentment. In the end, I couldn't bear to have Amelia work overtanymore. I was practically shoving her out the door at the end of every day. At first, Amelia refused Leonard's offers to pick her up, but eventually, she accepted.

That day, as we were wrapping up the project with Brightwave Group, Amelia insisted on staying late. As expected, Leonard blamedagain.

Finally, Amelia exploded, slamming her hands on the table. "Leonard, can you stop being unreasonable? You're just making my job harder! I worked so hard to cback to build a career. This is my shot!" Amelia hadn't participated in many projects since starting at the company, and it was clear she wasn't satisfied. A degree and a few awards from school weren't enough to establish herself at Harmon Group. Leonard looked at her, clearly feeling hurt. "I just don't want you to burn out. Besides, with your talent, this kind of work should be a piece of cake, right? "Remember back in sophomore year when you won the grand prize at the national design competition? Back then, you- "Enough, Leonard!" Amelia suddenly broke down, deflating as she grabbed her bag.

"Let's go home. Stop talking." As I watched her walk away, a sense of frustration washed over me. It waswho won that award back in sophomore year-he didn't remember that either. Chapter 204 The Best Option "Eva, are you okay?" Emma pressed her hand on my shoulder, trying to givesstrength.

Suddenly, I heard Amelia's panicked voice from the hallway. "Leonard, Leonard, what's wrong? Is it your headache again?" I rushed out, and Leonard was crouching near the elevator, his face pale. Emma and I ran over to him.

"Leonard, are you okay?" As I knelt down, reaching out to touch him, Leonard shovedaway and leaned toward Amelia instead. "Amy, my head hurts." His voice was pitiful.

Amelia hesitated, then let him rest his head on her and pulled out smedicine from her bag.

"Take the medicine. It'll help. Don't be stubborn, con, just take it." Leonard only listened to her. Sure enough, he quickly swallowed the pill.

He leaned on Amelia, the sight painfully harmonious. I was still crouched there, feeling dizzy.

Emma helpedup, whispering comforting words.

Amelia awkwardly cleared her throat.

"Eva, Mr. Harmon Senior gave this tastatinor time. He's medicine to medast tim worried Leonard won't take it." I nodded in understanding. Now, Leonard only trusted her, naturally, he'd only take medicine from her. He avoidedlike the plague, probably thinking I'd poison him.

My coworkers glanced over, their eyes full of curiosity, speculation, and something more as they sized up the situation between Amelia and me.

I knew tonight would be full of gossip again, but there was nothing I could do. At least I couldn't let them know Leonard's memory was scrambled. After Amelia and Leonard left, I barely got any work done. Emma noticed and eventually decided to takehome. "What are you going to do?" she asked, her tone full of concern, but all I could do was shake my head.

Leonard hurt his brain. What could I do?
