Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194 Imprisoned

In the morning. When Jean opened her eyes, she felt refreshed. Her night wasn’t as bad as she thought it would be. She did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she felt a sense of security which she had not felt for a very long time.

But when she saw the handsome face in front of her, her eyes widened at once! Why was she on Edgar’s bed?

Did she climb up by herself last night?

She lowered her head and saw her now free wrist. However, she was now holding onto Edgar’s shirt tightly. Jean shuddered. She let go of her grasp hurriedly. No one would know if she didn’t tell!

Jean looked at the man on the bed. She pushed him gently. He did not respond. “Is he still unconscious? Perhaps I should ask Nathan about it…” She muttered. Then she put on a pair of slippers and went into the bathroom.

The handsome man slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the closed bathroom door and listened to the sound of the shower. He looked very relaxed. However, he closed his eyes again before Jean got out of the bathroom.

Jean ignored him. She went up to the door and tried to open it. Nevertheless, she could not do so. “Is it broken?”

Jean tried a few more times, but she still could not open it. She looked at the man who was still asleep on the bed. She banged on the door and shouted, “Susan, are you out there? The door is broken!”

After a while later, Susan’s footsteps could be heard outside. “What’s wrong, Ms. Eyer?”

“Is this door broken? I cannot open it!” Jean cursed under her breath. “They’re so rich yet they have such a substandard quality door lock!”

“Don’t worry, Ms. Eyer. This door lock often has problems like this. I’ll go get someone to fix it.” Susan sounded anxious. “When can it be done?”

“Um… I can’t say for sure. But I will go get someone to repair it right away.” Susan’s voice drifted further. Jean sighed. She turned around and looked at Edgar, who was still unconscious on bed. She frowned hard.

Does this mean that she had to spend time with Edgar alone in this room before the lock is repaired?

She’d rather be the one taking Tyler’s blow. After more than ten minutes, there was still no movements outside. Jean banged on the door once more. “Susan, are they coming?”

But there was no sound from Susan. Instead, her shout woke the person on the bed. “So noisy.”

He looked at her coldly. His Adam’s apple rolled as he ordered. “Water.” Jean replied him calmly. “I’m not your maid.” Edgar narrowed his eyes. “For whose sake am I lying here?”

Jean’s heart skipped a beat. She could feel what was coming for her soon. She quickly made herself clear. “I did not tell you to save me. The person who hit you was Tyler Sans, not me. You should take revenge on him if you’re unhappy about it.”

Although her words sounded mean, it was the truth.

She wouldn’t change her opinion or attitude toward him just because he saved her once.

As soon as she finished speaking, the man’s eyes darkened. He knew it, this woman had always been difficult.

“Fine. What about my coat and my shirt?” He raised his eyebrows lightly. There was a hint of anger in his eyes.

“…”

Jean pursed her lips. “Of course the coat is fine. The shirt… You should…”

She racked her brains and tried hard to come up with an excuse.

Edgar used all the strength he had to get up of the bed. But his movements were slow because his wound hurt.

“Come here.”

Jean pursed her lips. She glanced towards the door.

Damn this door! Why did it have to break down at this time!

Edgar raised his head and gazed at her, with no emotion in his eyes.

Jean walked over reluctantly. She squatted down in front of him and said, “Hold my arm.”

She thought of herself as an emotionless wooden stick, acting as a crutch for once should be fine.
