Chapter 538
Everyone, including the hospital director, was stunned.
Ms. Eyer, you remember him so clearly. Why didn't you call for help?" The hospital immediately received a warning
glare from Edgar after asking this.
Edgar's expression turned cold. "Since the hospital's main archive has been hacked, what about the surveillance
record of the lobby and hospital exterior?"
The hospital director answered immediately, "We will check the surveillance records from other floors and the main
entrance based on the characteristics given!"
He seemed confident. I don't think he would hide."
Jean looked at the screen and clenched her fingers.
She was unable to scream at that moment.
Even now, she could not help but tremble as she recalled his words.
'Your sister's child is overseas, and your baby has yet to be born. Are you sure you wish to experience the pain of
bereavement?"
Jean believed Edbert did not send that man.
She sensed the man wanted to cause strife within Royden Group.
All these years, Edbert worked patiently to win over the directors. He considered the pros and cons of everything he
did and had no reason to attempt something so uncertain.
If they found the man, it would expose all of Edbert's pretense.
Then, he would not only lose his reputation. Even the goodwill he accumulated in Royden Group all these years
would be ruined.
Jean and Edgar thought of this at the same time.
They looked at the bottom right corner of the screen and noticed a figure.
It's him!"
The hospital director jumped in shock at their collective shouts.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Enlarge the image." The hospital director looked at the screen nervously.
The man looked just as Jean described. He left the hospital and got into a black car. The car had a unique car plate.
"The Rothschild family?"
Edgar took out his phone and was about to call Charles when Jean stopped him. "I don't think he's from the
Rothschild family. He's too eye-catching."
The atmosphere turned stiff.
The hospital director looked at Edgar and Jean before saying cautiously, "Mr. Royden, should we contact the
police?"
That way, the hospital could remove the matter from their hands.
Jean tugged Edgar's shirt behind him.
He understood what she meant and reached behind to hold her hand. Then, his voice turned stern and intimidating.
"You are to send everything we looked at just now to my assistant. Everyone here shall keep this matter a secret."
"We will. We also wish to apologize for this matter." The hospital director bowed in apology.
However, Edgar held Jean's hand and led her away.
It was cold and windy outside the hospital. The chill from the wind seeped into Jean's bones, causing her to narrow
her eyes.
Edgar shielded her with his arms. "Get in the car first. I don't want you to catch a cold."
His concern was not limited to his words. As soon as Jean got into the car, he gave her a cup of warm water to
warm her hands. He adjusted the heater to the right temperature and placed a blanket on her lap.
"Miles will deal with this matter, so don't worry about it. You should focus on taking care of yourself." Then, he
glanced out the car window and continued, "Also, don't come to this hospital anymore."
Jean looked down slightly.
He sighed and explained, "It's not my intention to restrict you. However, this hospital fails in many aspects. People
can easily take advantage of its flaws."
Most importantly, the hospital was not secure.
They were lucky to discover this on time.
He did not dare to imagine if anything were to happen to her.
Jean agreed, "I understand."
Edgar was surprised by her response.
She did not argue with him this time.
She was rarely ever this compliant.
He turned to her and saw that she had closed her eyes. "Is Susan back? I miss the soups she made."
" I'II ask her"
Edgar had always been like this. He had an answer to everything.
Sometimes, Jean did not have to mention anything. He would have already arranged everything for her.
Perhaps she was the only woman who would push him away like this. Any other women would have thrown
themselves at him.
The car headed to Eyer Residence.
Julia was already waiting for them at the door. "We need to be careful from now on. You must let me know
whenever you wish to go anywhere. I'll go with you."
Jean nodded gently.
"Aunt Julia, I wish to speak to him alone," Jean said calmly.
Edgar had prepared himself to be scolded as soon as he stepped in. However, Jean's sudden words caused him to
pause. He looked forward to hearing what she wanted to say.
Julia did not seem to mind.
Sure, I'll go out to get some groceries. I'm planning to cook something delicious for you during dinner."
Once they were alone, Jean poured a glass of water and placed it before him. "I won't interfere with what you do
about this matter, but I won't rely on law enforcement and legal measure."
It was her first time stating her stance to him.
She was determined to put an end to the matter with Edbert.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEdgar's gaze darkened slightly. "Sure."
They stood before each other and thought of the same matter. However, they each came up with a different
solution.
I won't get involved with Royden Group's matter, so you don't have to worry about this."
Edgar had an expression of acceptance no matter what she said.
By the time Julia returned, she could sense something was different about the atmosphere at home. She carried
the groceries into the kitchen and found Edgar had already begun cooking.
"Are you sure you can do this?
Julia glanced at him from the back. "Jean is now in a critical stage of pregnancy, so we can't afford to be careless.
We have to keep up with her nutritional requirements. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to the health of the
mother and the baby."
Edgar nodded. "Yes, I will pay special attention to the nutritional requirements."
Julia watched him and nagged. "You should have done this well earlier on. Then, we wouldn't have so much trouble
now."
Edgar suddenly stopped cutting vegetables. His eyes flickered with anguish.
Then, Julia grabbed hold of Jean in the living room and asked her many questions about what had happened in the
hospital. She was concerned about the matter. "I think you should let the police deal with this. After all, you're
pregnant. I won't be able to bear it if anything happens to you." "Aunt Julia, don't worry. I know what to do. Nothing
will happen to me." Jean ate some fruits and added softly, "Furthermore, he's here." "That's what I worry most!"
Julia furrowed her brow. "What if his uncle is behind this matter? They are family, after all. Moreover, this involves
his company's interest. Are you sure he will always be on your side?"
Edgar single-handedly established Royden Group to its present glory.
However, the things Jean wanted to do would waste his years of effort.
He knew this. Yet, he still let her have her way.
Jean rubbed her palm and swallowed the fruit she was chewing. "Aunt Julia, can you help me to visit Gigi at the
hospital? She hates to see me, so I think it will be better if you go instead."
Previously, it was Julia's visit that convinced Gigi to receive treatment.
Jean planned to go all out with her plans this time. Therefore, she needed to be fully prepared
