Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149 If He Could Marry Her Once, He Could Marry Her a Second Time

Ben Ludwig closed his eyes slowly. He hoped that the next day wouldn’t arrive so quickly. Watching him sleep, Farra Emilio called Jean Eyer over.

“Thank goodness you’re back. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do. Bennie was probably worried because he couldn’t get through to your cell phone. Are you hurt?”

Jean Eyer smiled and shook her head. “I was at my friend’s house. There wasn’t good reception.”

She didn’t want to speak on it anymore. Farra Emilio nodded. She held on to Jean Eyer’s hand and continued talking. Maybe she knew that Farra Emilio was worried about the surgery the next day, so Jean Eyer stayed up with her until the middle of the night.

At the same time, Nathan Knox was dragged by Edgar Royden to a bar for some drinks. He looked at his watch a few times. “Edgar, it’s getting late. Let’s go.”

But no matter what he said, Edgar Royden was unmoving. Nathan Knox was frustrated and had to use an ace in his hands. “You’ve already divorced Jean Eyer. Treating her like this is a type of harassment. To put it plainly, she can sue you.”

Crack. The glass in his hand fell. Edgar Royden looked up with frost in his eyes. That gaze truly frightened Nathan Knox.

“I’m only saying it like it is. Think about it, she doesn’t have a boyfriend now. So what if she’s in debt, the Ludwig family isn’t leaving her behind. Ben Ludwig and her…”

Nathan Knox stopped. He didn’t dare complete his sentence. In other words, he feared for his life. “At the very least, you want her back. There’s no use in you drinking here alone.” Nathan Knox was exhausted from a full day of work.

He feared he’d die on the spot if Edgar Royden didn’t let him go home. When Edgar Royden heard that, the frost in his eyes slowly faded. “Get her back?”

The man raised his brows. If he could marry Jean Eyer once, he could marry her a second time. “But I must remind you that Gigi Reece is bearing your child.”

Nathan Knox knew that Edgar Royden wasn’t that kind of person. He wouldn’t shy away from responsibility. “Help me check something out.” Edgar Royden recalled back to what happened after he had drinks with Gigi Reece.

Nathan Knox’s eyes widened. “You, don’t tell me you suspect the child isn’t yours?”

If Gigi Reece cheated on Edgar Royden, it would be the joke of Yorktown.

Edgar Royden pushed the table and stood up. “Just check it out.”

He had his suspicions, but the Reece family wouldn’t lie about these things for no reason. Because if he found out, the consequences would be severe.

As for Jean Eyer, he had all the time. He would take it slow.

…

The next day at ten in the morning, a nurse pushed Ben Ludwig into the operating theatre.

Farra Emilio was pacing nervously in the corridor. From time to time, she would look inside. “Jeannie, there should be no problems with the two specialists, right?”

“Mrs. Ludwig, please have a seat. The surgery would be three hours at the very least.”

This was only a conservative estimate.

With the two previous surgeries as a foundation, Ben Ludwig would basically recover fully if the surgery went well this time.

Jean Eyer prayed silently as she looked at the light outside the operating theatre.

However, there was still a bump on the road.

An hour into the surgery, an unexpected situation occurred. There was massive blood loss, and the reserved blood they had on standby wasn’t enough.

“The patient needs a blood transfusion!” The nurse said as she came out.

Jean Eyer immediately walked over. “Take mine.”

“Alright, come with me.”

Farra Emilio saw nothing but darkness as she fainted.

Jean Eyer was taken into a room beside the operating theatre. A door stood between her and Ben Ludwig’s ongoing surgery.

“Ms. Eyer, I need to confirm with you again. Your blood type, and have you taken any alcohol or medicine within the last 24 hours…” The nurse was listing it out one by one.

After Jean Eyer verified, she signed her name.

As the needle pierced her skin, Jean Eyer took a deep breath. She leaned back on the chair.

She was more than happy to help Ben Ludwig.

At the same time, the hospital was broadcasting a message to the whole building, looking for other donors.

Jean Eyer didn’t know how much blood was drawn. Along with insufficient rest from the night before, she quickly fell asleep.
