Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 328 The Final Warning

Susan said many other things before heading to her room to rest. Jean stood before the floor-to-ceiling window and

looked out into the night. She hesitated for a while before dialing Edgar’s number.

She believed he should be reaching the village at this hour. Edgar soon picked up the call. His deep voice sounded

from the phone. “Hello?”

Jean wrapped the knitted shawl tightly around her body. “Have you arrived?” “Not yet. The road hasn’t been

repaired yet, so it’s not an easy drive.” His tone softened slightly, “How about your side?”

Jean looked down and paused for a while before replying, “We’re all right.” A long silence followed. “You…”

“You…”

They spoke at the same time. Each was surprised to hear the other’s voice.

Edgar glanced at the moon from the car window. “You should go to bed soon and don’t worry about anything. I

know Mr. Jevin’s character. He would bring the secret to his grave. I have some idea who revealed the information

to the reporters.”

Jean pinched her fingertips. He had said what she wanted to say. It was likely Sam who exposed the secret. He was

the fifth person to take that photo.

He was likely furious that Edgar treated the Reece family coldly and used this secret to seek revenge against Edgar.

However, that also did not make sense. If Edgar discovered the truth, Sam would also be dragged into it.

Furthermore, Sam would not be able to bear Edgar’s wrath. Thus, he would not be that stupid to dig his own grave.

As such, there must be someone else who knew everything.

Jean’s hand shook slightly. “Is Miles with you?” “He is. Don’t worry. Nothing will…”

However, a loud crashing noise sounded, and the call ended immediately. Jean stood stunned by the window as the

phone fell from her hand.

Numerous people crowded the hospital corridor. “Did something happen to Edgar?”

“I heard his car turned into a curve at an abandoned factory and exploded.” “His driver and assistant were also in

the car and are injured.”

Jean wore a cap and a mask. She managed to squeeze past the reporters after much difficulty.

However, like them, the nurse prevented her from entering Edgar’s room. “I’m sorry, only the patient’s family is

allowed to enter. Please remain quiet. Otherwise, I’ll call security.”

The scene quieted down slightly.

Suddenly, Gigi rushed over in her high heel shoes. “Step aside. I need to go in.”

“You are?”

“I’m Mrs. Royden.” Gigi raised her chin. She put her sunglasses back on and smirked, “I’m his closest kin.”

As his spouse, she also had the right to sign hospital consent forms for him.

Naturally, the nurse opened the door for her.

Jean stood in a corner by the door and pulled down her cap to make herself appear as invisible as possible. As Gigi

brushed past her, Jean smelled a faint cologne from Gigi’s body.

It was the kind of cologne worn by men.

Jean frowned. Has Gigi gone insane?

“That’s enough. Everyone else, please leave and stop other patients from resting.” After saying that, the nurse

turned around and went in.

The other reporters gathered in groups of three and two. They decided to give up and leave.

After all, this was a private hospital. It was pointless for them to wait here.

Meanwhile, Jean paced near the door several times and could not find a way to get in. She sighed and walked to

another corridor.

Suddenly, she looked up and noticed a photo of the hospital’s donor on the wall. Zenith?

She immediately pulled out her phone and dialed Zenith’s number.

“Mr. Rocher, sorry for calling you at this hour. I’m hoping that you can help me with a matter.”

Zenith replied without hesitation, “How may I help you?”

Zenith was one of the donors of this hospital. He called the hospital, and a nurse soon came to Jean to bring her in.

“Ms. Eyer, we must follow the hospital regulation, so you can only wait here. We can’t let you into the patient’s

room.”

Jean nodded. “Thank you.”

Being able to enter here was good enough for her.

Her phone buzzed. It was a message from Susan. “How’s Mr. Royden?”

“He hasn’t woken up yet. I’ll check on him.”

Jean would never want to watch Edgar at the hospital if it weren’t for Susan’s request.

Jean stood along the corridor and looked through the glass window at the man lying unconscious. Her gaze grew

somber.

“How did you get in?”

Gigi finished speaking to the doctor and walked out, only to see Jean standing before Edgar’s room.

She shouted immediately, “How can you be so unprofessional? Didn’t you say only family can enter? Drag her out

of here right now!”

Gigi planned to remain by his side so that she would be the first person he saw once he woke up.

At the same time, she needed to get rid of her as soon as possible.

Gigi could not forget what Edgar told her in court.

He even threatened her to protect Jean.

Gigi would never forget that indignity. It seemed that no matter what she did for him, she would permanently lose

to Jean.

The nurse rushed over and explained the matter in a hushed tone before the doctor could say anything.

“In that case… You should stay here. Don’t go in and disturb the patient.” The doctor did not dare to offend either

of them and left quickly after saying that.

Gigi gritted her teeth and glared at Jean.

“I don’t get it. How are you always so lucky that someone protects you wherever you go?”

Jean smiled bitterly.

I’ve already suffered through so many tragedies. How am I lucky?

“Edgar may have protected you this time, but don’t even dream of reuniting with him. As long as I’m around, you

can never marry him.”

Jean sighed tiredly.

“You’ve said it. Since I can never be with Edgar, must you treat me with such animosity?”

Judging from Gigi’s attitude, Jean believed that even if she told her the truth about her birth, Gigi would not believe

a word.

Thus, Jean could not be bothered to argue with her and turned to the other side.

However, Gigi sneered and refused to give up.

“I want to remind you that you are the woman Edgar discarded. No matter what you do, he will never be with you

again. Furthermore, there’s the matter of your father’s death between you. If you still love Edgar, I don’t know what

to say.”

“Have you said enough?”

Jean rushed to Gigi, gripped her wrist, and pulled it hard.

“What are you doing? You’re insane.” Gigi tried to protect her face.

However, Jean still managed to grab her by her hair and dragged her forward.

“Gigi, this is my final warning to you. Stop insulting me. Otherwise, I will show you something scarier than prison.

Don’t force my hands.”

Since Sam never taught her manners, Jean felt she should discipline her as her sister.

Gigi was in pain as Jean pulled her by her hair.

She tried with all her might to slap Jean’s hand away. “Let me go.”

The nurse heard the bell ringing in Edgar’s room and rushed in urgently. “The patient is awake and has pressed the

bell. What are you two doing?”
