Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 276

Immediately, the smile on Jean's face disappeared. She looked at John with a stunned expression and said, "What do you mean you called Zed?"

John was confused by Jean's sudden unexpected reaction, but he still explained it to her in an astonished tone. "You just fainted in the company. I didn't know what to do as I was freaked out! So I directly took you to the hospital. When I went back to the company, I remembered that I hadn't inform Zed about this, so I made a phone call to him explaining what had happened to you. It seems that you don't know about this. You are all shocked on hearing about this. Didn't he come here to see you?"

Jean gave back a bitter and sad smile and shook her head towards John while keeping her eyes down, and said, "He must be very busy! After all, the whole thing that happened to me must have put his company into an adverse position. He must be dealing with the public relations." Jean was trying to make an excuse for Zed.

John was stunned by Jean's words, he couldn't believe that Jean was still trying to excuse Zed. His face turned solemn and he countered in an anxious tone, "No matter how busy he is, you are his wife. How could he be still working in spite of your bad situation? Doesn't he have any curtsy? This is his fault. Let me call him right now..."

After he finished his words, John took out his phone immediately, and started searching for Zed's number in the phone. He was feeling bad for Jean, and was angry on Zed for acting this way.

By seeing John's action, Jean suddenly got tensed and asked, "What are you doing?"

John was puzzled by Jean's reaction, however, seeing Jean's anxious expression, he halted and replied, "I'm calling him to come here to see you!" John was having trouble in understanding that why Jean was acting peculiarly.

"John, I always thought that you are a clever man, but why are you behaving so silly in this matter?" A trace of sorrow appeared on Jean's face as she continued, "If he really wanted to see me, he would have come already, even if you don't call him. Just try to understand." She didn't want to say anything more related to this matter. It was making her more low-spirited.

"You two... Is there something wrong between you guys?" He looked at Jean considerably and asked. As by hearing Jean's disappointed tone and seeing her sorrowful face, John suddenly realized that there was something wrong between Jean and Zed. .

"Is it necessary for me to say it out? Don't you think we can get on well with each other after all the things that have happened?" Jean closed her eyes disappointedly as she replied impatiently.

"How could this possibly happen? I don't understand. I just can't believe it. You both were still well attached with each other earlier. Last, I remembered you guys were in love. It was clearly visible between two of you. I always thought that Zed was truly in love with you. When he learnt that Ethan had withdrawn the investment, he invested in our company. He did this all for you. Was it all a show for others to see? Why did he change his mind so abruptly? What could have happened within this period that affected him like that?" John murmured unbelievably while shaking his head in shock.

"Sometimes what appears on the surface is not the truth. When I started taking our relationship seriously, I thought that even though it was a mistake for us being together, as long as he really loves me, I would not regret it. I was ready to take him as my own just because I thought he loved me. However, after all these things happened, I realized that I was wrong. I was gravely mistaken in seeing the things for what they were in reality. I was completely wrong. Maybe it was because I have never discerned who he really is. I was not able to know how real he is."

Although Jean had excused Zed for tens of thousands of times, Zed's determination to leave her alone and not needing her any longer, was still a tough barrier for her to get over.

Or else, how could Zed, who had been very gently talking so sweet and lovable words to Jean, possibly leave Jean alone at the time when she needed him the most? When she was most expecting him to be there with her, being in most vulnerable condition, he didn't even care to pay a visit to her.

Jean could make numerous excuses for Zed that made him unaware of her situation. And she wanted to do that for the sake of their love.

However, as Jesse showed up in the hospital, all those excuses went wasted. Jean's heart was divided in half, one half was searching for some formidable excuse for Zed while other half wanted her to accept the reality.

But on hearing John's news that he had informed Zed about her condition on the phone, Jean was forced to face the reality.

Jean had no courage to ask about Zed's reaction when he became aware of her illness. She was afraid of what more she would find and that she no longer was in a condition to take it any more.

'Jean Wen, what are you still expecting?

You have already been abandoned by Zed. He betrayed the love between you and him. What more do you want to hear to get the proof? Hold yourself together!'

Jean admonished herself in mind. However, had Zed really loved her? Jean doubted. After thinking about all the things, she could only feel sorry for herself.

As this thought flashed across Jean's mind, she felt extremely distressed as though her heart had been broken into pieces. As a result her face turned grieved. She was unable to control her feelings.

Jean had been just appreciating the win of getting rid of the bad mood for few minutes, however, as she was hit again by the fact about Zed, she still felt painful, desperately painful in her heart. This kind of pain could not be placed into words, thus, leaving her speechless.

Zed Qi, this name had become a sharp sword that had deeply stabbed into Jean's heart. And she was not being able to find a remedy for it.

"Jean, are you okay?" John asked concernedly as he saw Jean's worsening pale pace. Just few moments before her face was glowing, but now it felt like all energy was drained from it. Also it felt to John that Jean was on the verge of crying.

"I'm fine..." Jean replied as she shook her head to shake off the feeling of broken-hearted and helplessness. But grief was still wandering in her eyes. As tears were brimming on the edge of her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Jean. It's my bad to distress you." John said apologetically with his face full of guilt.
