Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 232

When Edgar ran inside the examination room, he noticed Jean pushing away the nurse who was going to examine her.

The nurses didn't dare to hurt her, so had no choice but to step aside.

The man pushed the door open, his eyes full of rage.

Jean could not hear the door slamming against the wall, and was preoccupied with Edgar's enraged scowl.

She chuckled, "I thought you went back to Westburgh."

Her apathy left an indelible mark on his heart, and the hatred in him swelled once more.

With a gesture, he signaled the staff to exit.

Jean merely stood there, clutching the bed sheet tightly behind her back.

She watched as he moved toward her, "You still want to humiliate me in this manner? Let me tell you something, I."

Edgar didn't do anything to her, which surprised her.His palm rested firmly on her shoulder, yet it was unusual for Jean not to feel pain.He put her onto his shoulders without saying anything.

Jean felt as if the world was spinning in front of her; her hands were at a loss for where to put them, so she grabbed onto his collar, terrified that he would fling her off.

After that, Jean was led to the examination room chair, and as Edgar typed a sentence on his phone to show her, Jean cursed him internally.

Edgar continued to watch over her during the entire inspection procedure, and it was clear that he was trying to discourage her.

Jean was much more compliant this time.

"Good, on to the next project.Mr.Royden has a solution” Dr.Meyer said, smiling.

Edgar's gaze had a hardness to them.He couldn't bear to threaten Jean in this manner because he hoped she wouldn't disobey.

However, there was currently no better option.

When he learned that Jensen Rocher would be taking Jean overseas early this morning, he made the first move and put her on the flight.

Even though he had made all the necessary preparations and plans to transport Jean overseas for treatment, the event came so unexpectedly that he was still acting out of haste.

He just warned her that if she didn't participate in the treatment, he would never take her home, and instead watch her silently vanish in this strange foreign land.

Neither Ben nor Jensen will ever locate her.

Jean thought he was being real.She was more compliant than before, whether it was for a checkup or taking medication.

After hearing the doctor's assessment an hour later, the man erupted into wrath.

"Ridiculous!" Dr.Meyer and his staff apologize.

"Mr.Royden, it is challenging to estimate how long an accident-related injury will take to heal.Ms.Jean's ear structure appears to be unharmed after closer examination.That is to say, the nerve endings in the

brain had an instinctual reaction, so this is purely psychologically based"

"She wants to isolate herself and shut out the outside world, in a more emotional sense’ Edgar was simply irritated and angry.

"The result, that's all I want."

"There just isn't much we can do, Mr.Royden" said Dr.Meyer.

The personnel exchanged sad looks.

Edgar clenched his fists tightly.

No matter the cost, he would cure Jean because he would not allow her to continue living in such misery.

For the next few days, Jean was immersed in her own thoughts.She did not see Edgar at all during those days, but she didn't bother to ask.

Because of the language barrier and her hearing issues, Jean was unable to communicate the entire time.

The nurses gave her the best care.

Every day, Dr.Meyer would check Jean's hearing, but the findings consistently revealed no improvement.

"The treatment strategy has to be modified, so let's wait until tomorrow"

After saying this, Dr.Meyer opened the door and walked out.

A strong gust of wind entered the room as he left.

‘Bang’ Jean heard a loud noise coming from the door.She lifted her eyes and cast a thoughtful gaze in the direction of the entrance.

When the nurse heard the noise, she approached Jean.

The nurse queried, "Are you okay?"

Jean remained silent and cast a doubtful glance the other way.

The nurse shook her head and concluded that Jean's hearing was beyond repair.

Jean continued to sleep in the room after the nurses departed.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes...

From beneath the pillow, Jean pulled out her phone and dialed Ben’s number.

"Ben, help me with something."

At this time, he was the only person she could trust unconditionally.

As long as she delayed Edgar with her illness, taking advantage of the chaos in Edgar's company will be a breeze.

Jean would give him a big surprise when she returned home.

Early the next morning.

During Royden Group's morning meeting, many directors pounded the tables in protest.

"Mr.Royden seems too unconcerned with the situation of the company.Did he really take that woman abroad for medical treatment?"

"The company's project was delayed due to Mr.Royden's personal matters.Although Jean is his ex- wife, Mr.Royden is still at fault.I hope everyone is on the same page."

Andy Shaw grinned, and his comment appeared to be directed at Edgar.It really further stoked the rebellion.

"This is getting out of hand!"

"And the project with Eyer Group is a lost cause."

"The company's significant financial loss will probably cause a domino effect.I advise replacing the project manager right now.Mr.Shaw should be in charge" Andy raised his brows and smiled. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"That won't be good? he commented.

"Why? I believe it is the best course of action.Mr.Edbert will undoubtedly concur"

"Then I have no choice but to respect your wishes," Andy said as his eyes progressively darkened.

Edgar was not here to defend himself.

The people here would decide his fate.

As soon as Nathan Knox received the news, he contacted Edgar and told him to come back immediately.

"Jean's condition hasn't yet gotten better.All of our efforts would be in naught if we turned back now."

Edgar remained outside the examination room and fixed his gaze on the person within.

"But time doesn't stop for anybody.When you return in a few days, Andy Shaw will have purchased the entire asset of Royden Group.Didn't you have a sneaking suspicion that there were spies in Royden Group? You can't doubt it now since I just witnessed the whole thing.This is Andy Shaw's doing"

Edgar's cold gaze was reflected back at him in the window.

"Nathan, don't you think the timing is too much of a coincidence?"

"What do you mean?"

"As soon as I took Jean abroad for treatment, something happened to Gigi;" said Edgar.

Behind the examination window, no one could hear him.

Jean could feel his eyes following her.She couldn't hear any sound during the last examination, and was unaware that the instruments gave off a high- pitched frequency.

When the machine began to operate while she was on the examination bed, she unconsciously scowled.Her subtle movement caught Edgar's attention.

"Nathan, I was careless before, and maybe Gigi was right.I really should act first," he said with narrowed eyes.

"What? What are you talking about, Edgar? I don't understand."

Nathan was at a loss for words.He had a hunch that Edgar had anticipated something would happen.
