Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143 Forbidden by Him

“Of course. If you donate your blood directly, it will help the operation. However, if there are any complications, I’m worried that you might not be able to handle it.”

There was a limit to blood donations. When an operation is ongoing, a huge amount of blood might be needed, especially if the patient had loss an excessive amount of blood, but such conditions were difficult to predict.

“I can do it. No matter what, I can pull through it.” Jean was adamant.

However, Ben protested vehemently.

“I disagree.” He raised his eyes, unwilling to accept her help.

Standing beside them, Farra had no clue what to say.

“Ben, don’t be childish.” Jean frowned.

“I’m not childish; do you know how dangerous it is? I’d rather be handicapped than to risk your life.” He became increasingly emotional, slamming his fists into the bed.

Suddenly, his chest trembled, and he could not stop coughing.

“Don’t yell, Ben. We can still discuss our options.” Farra patted his back to soothe him while shooting a glance at Jean.

Usually, when he refused to undergo the treatments, Jean was the only person who could convince him.

If they had an argument, Farra was at a loss of what to do.

When Jean lowered her head again, she said in a low voice, “When you protected me during the accident, did you consider how dangerous it was?”

I’m just trying to repay his life using mine. On top of that, this hospital has top-notch specialists. Even if there are any emergencies, I’m sure they have a plan to handle that.

Ben clenched his fists tightly when he heard that.

“Were you so eager to save me so that you won’t have to live with the guilt of me being your life savior?” he asked slowly, raising his head to look at her with immense sadness.

“I didn’t mean it like that.”

She froze upon hearing that. She had unintentionally hurt him.

“Go out, all of you. I’d like to be alone.” He turned around dejectedly.

Everyone left helplessly, leaving him alone in the ward.

“I hope you don’t mind, Jean. He’s just too worried about you, that there might be some complications during the operation. I’ll call his father to see if there are any other solutions. I, too, don’t wish for you to risk your life.” With that, Farra patted her hand. “Just take a rest, alright?”

Jean nodded obediently. “Yes, Mrs. Ludwig.”

Then, she turned around and looked through the small window of the ward. She had been in jail before, and she knew how helpless it was to live in darkness with no support at all.

Her situation was similar to Ben’s current situation in the ward – lonely and helpless.

They were at the mercy of others.

Hence, she could understand how frustrating it was for Ben. Every time he refused to go through the treatments, she was able to convince him gently.

However, this time, it was not up to Ben to accept.

The operation must be carried out, the sooner the better.

Looking at the time, she asked the nurse to pay more attention to the ward before heading to Dr. Roffe’s office alone.

When she reached his door, she heard people talking in the room. Since he had some other guests, she waited outside.

Unexpectedly, she knew this guest of his.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Royden. Both Dr. James and Dr. Michaelson’s schedules have been delayed for a week. I think we will be able to find new blood supplies in the meantime.” His small eyes squinted as he nudged the bridge of his glasses. “On top of that, Ms. Eyer said that she is willing to donate her blood, so–”

“What did you say?”

Edgar’s head jerked up immediately.
