NovelEnglishChapter 208 Chapter 208 Bastard I jolted awake, staring straight into Leonard's impatient face.
"What does your fainting have to do with me? Didn't I already say not to botherunless it's important? You called Amelia on purpose, didn't you? Just to make sure I'd show up." Amelia stood beside him, head down, lost in thought.
They'd been practically inseparable lately-Leonard even dropped her off and picked her from work every day. Now, here they were again, both showing up at the hospital, looking more like a married couple than I ever had with him. Zack must have called him first and, when he refused to come, contacted Amelia instead.

Thankfully, the doctor regained his composure quickly. "Regardless of who the father is, the mother's health is not in good shape. She needs rest, and as her husb- "Why should I care for her when the child isn't mine?" Leonard cut him off, his eyes cold as they locked onto mine." How shameless." I stared back at him, unable to believe the words coming out of his mouth.
There used to be misunderstandings between us, but now? He didn't believe a word I said. He didn't believeat all. He only trusted the version ofhe had in his head.
I felt my eyes burn with tears I could no longer hold back.
Amelia walked over and gently tugged on his sleeve. "Leonard, don't be like this." Her voice grew softer, and Leonard's anger melted away under her calming touch.
He held her hand tightly. "Amy, you have to believe me. There's never been anything betweenand her. You're the only woman I've ever been with. I could never touch her." I slowly closed my eyes. At that moment, I felt my heart finally die.
The only woman? That might've been true when we were in school, but after we got married? He'd been with more women than I can count! "Get out." I forced the words out through gritted teeth, trying to swallow the rage burning inside me. Even if he'd lost his memory, even if he were completely clueless, I had no desire to forgive him now.
Leonard looked like he wanted to say something, but Amelia tugged him toward the door. Just as they were leaving, Julian walked in, blocking their way. "Where do you think you're going? You're her husband." He shot Leonard a cold look. "I told you before she wasn't in good health. Couldn't you at least..." Julian trailed off, realizing Leonard's current condition. He shook his head. "Forget it. Eva, how are you feeling?" He didn't spare Leonard another glance, walking straight over to me. When he looked at my test results, his frown deepened.

Julian was about to continue when Leonard suddenly out in "I've already said, that kid isn't mine. pregnant
"She's and all of you are so concerned. How do you even know e whose bastard she's carrying? "Amy, let's go. Don't ever tellabout this kind of thing again. It's disgusting!"
I looked up in his direction. He was holding Amelia's hand tightly andthe two of them walked out, shoulder to shoulder, without looking back. I clenched my fists instinctively, but the tears wouldn't stop. He called my baby a bastard? I knew he was unwell, but I couldn't bring myself to forgive him anymore.
