Chapter 501

Thirty minutes later, Miles came with a doctor.

The latter conducted a thorough examination of Jean.

“Did this woman just have an abortion surgery?” Edgar squeezed a word through his teeth, “Yes.” “Her vitals are weak.

She needs ample rest.

Avoid herbs and supplements.

Her diet should be light for the time being.” The doctor gave a prognosis.

Edgar’s heart sank at the doctor’s prognosis. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Ben and Rachel heard about Jean’s condition and hastily rushed to Eyer residence.

“Why didn’t you watch her when you knew she was pregnant?” Ben bellowed and seized Edgar by his collar, “What did you tell me before? You promised you’d look after her and the child in her womb.

Is this how you looked after them?” ‘Poof!’ Ben furiously punched Edgar.

The latter soberly endured the series of onslaughts.

Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

“F*ck off now! Do you have no shame at all?” Ben bawled mournfully, “She even tried to…” “Mr. Ludwig, Ms. Eyer doesn’t want insignificant people to know about it” Rachel stood by Jean’s bed with red eyes, “Let him go.

Ms. Eyer will not be happy when she wakes up and sees him.” Edgar was anxious and clueless.

He couldn’t do anything but resignedly be chased out of Jean’s ward by Ben and Rachel.

Ben warned Edgar before he closed the door on Edgar.

“You’ve hurt her enough.

Settle your mess with Royden family, or | won’t let you near her again.’ Edgar’s eyes dimmed.

He was caught in a daze for a long time.

Then, he slowly retreated his feet.

Susan coaxed, “Mr. Royden, you should go back first.

There’s nothing you can do here.

| will stay back and cook for Ms. Eyer.

| will let you know if there’s anything” Susan thought it would be best for Edgar to leave Jean’s ward, but she was diplomatic in dealing with Edgar’s delicate feelings.

Edgar slumped his shoulders helplessly.

He dug his fingernails into his flesh and obligated, “Okay.” He was left with no choice.

Miles came back to the ward after sending the doctor away.

“Mr. Royden, | have sent someone to the hospital to investigate the incident.

Except for immediate family members, otherwise, we are not allowed to peruse Ms. Eyer’s medical records.” Miles explained.

Edgar’s hands were cold and clammy.

He felt suffocated.

He bobbed his head and let out a bitter sneer.

“Karma is a b*tch.

Perhaps | deserve it.” He had made irreversible mistakes from the get-go.

Now, he had to suffer the consequences of his vices.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Royden…

Ms. Eyer is in stable condition now.

Everything will be fine.” Miles didn’t know how to comfort him.

Looking at the disconcerted Edgar, Miles was apprehensive for him.

Unlike his usual self, Edgar looked bizarre and manic.

“Car key.” Edgar reached out his palm.

Miles was confused.

Then, he quickly handed the car key to Edgar.

Edgar grabbed the car key, got into the car, and drove away.

Meanwhile, Ben stood at the window, watching Edgar from Jean’s room.

He turned around and walked to Jean’s bed when Edgar had driven away.

“Rachel, go down and get Susan to prepare some food for Jean.

She would be starving when she wakes up.” Ben was concerned about Jean’s well-being.

At present, and after what had happened, Ben no longer just loved Jean.

He felt more than just love.

He was sympathetic to Jean’s choices.

He sincerely hoped that Jean would wake up soon.

No matter who she chooses in the end, she deserves a second chance.

“Alright.” Rachel promptly stood up, walked to the door, and closed the door.

Ben sat idle for a while.

Subsequently, he slowly reached out his hand and caressed Jean’s forehead.

Then, he leaned forward and whispered by her ear, “They are gone now.’ As soon as Ben finished his words, the person on the bed slowly opened her eyes.

She was clasping the bed sheet tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.

The bed sheet was wrinkled from overexertion.

The sun was too glaring, and she couldn’t help but furrow.

Ben hurriedly got up and drew the curtains.

“Edgar had just left with his assistant.

He will find a way through the hospital administration and get ahold of your medical record if he still cares about you.

But your record has been deleted.

He won’t be able to find out anything anytime soon.’ He paused, turned around, and asked Jean, “Are you really going to leave?” Leave this place and start anew somewhere with her supposedly perished child.

Jean feebly hovered her hand over to the lower abdomen.

“Edbert is inhuman.

He will do anything.

He even gave up his Royden Group shares to induce sympathy from other people.

Plus, he has wide connections and resources we don’t know about.

If he finds out that Edgar has a child, he will definitely…” Unrepressed coughing shattered her words.

Ben quickly handed her a glass of water.

“Your acting was so convincing.

| would have been frightened by you if you didn’t inform me beforehand.” Ben furrowed.

He stared at her and said, “Have you contacted your aunt?” Jean nodded.

“| haven’t been in contact with my relatives after my mother’s passing.

| didn’t expect they would still welcome me as part of the family, but the situation is, in fact, more favorable than | could ever imagine.’ She held the water glass.

The heat from the warm water relieved the tension in her body.

Her eyes glimmered, “Ben, please ensure Eyer Group is sold to Ludwig Group after | leave.

| owe you a big one again: Ben shook his head in negation.

“What have | done to help you? You wouldn’t end up in this predicament if | had been helpful” Ben nagged at Jean tirelessly.

As Ben was nagging at her, she was dozing off.

She knew it must be the sedative at the hospital that was making her sleepy.

She was there for a routine checkup to ensure the baby in her womb was healthy.

She wasn’t there for an abortion surgery.

However, that hospital was fraudulent and unethical too.

The doctor who treated her had resigned.

Jean reread the previous analysis report and noticed there was no complication with her pregnancy at all.

Now, she had to find a way to ensure her child’s safety.

Jean had no choice but to devise a plot to deceive Edgar in order to make the incident look believable.

Her existence would vacillate Edgar’s judgment and threaten his well- being.

There was no way for them to predict Edbert’s next course of action, and they might end up losing the battle if they were not careful.

She reckoned it was best to nip the problem in the bud.

“Holler me once you get there.” Ben pursed his lips.

He had many things to tell her, but they ran out of time.

Jean nodded gently, “I will” Ben exited the room as he saw her getting drowsy and dozing off.

Meanwhile, Rachel and Susan were busy whipping up a fish dish, a healthy mixed vegetable dish, and millet porridge in the kitchen.

Susan quizzed Ben when she saw Ben, “Is Ms. Eyer awake?” “Not yet.” Ben said while picking up his coat, “Rachel, | will leave this to you.

| have something to deal with.” “Sure.

| understand” Rachel nodded.

After Ben left, Rachel went to Jean’s room and stayed by her side.

“There’s a silver lining in every cloud, Ms. Eyer.

You will live a full and wholesome life after this snag.

This too shall pass’
