Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226 Tremendous Change

Edgar’s expression changed at once. Jean couldn’t hear what he said, but could only see all the medical staff in the emergency room being summoned by him, and they looked terrified.

Thereafter, she was sent to an examination room. She was given the best resources in the hospital. A few directors waited outside the examination room with anxious looks. Jean cooperated with the medical staff, but she didn’t understand why they looked fearful.

She caught a glance of Edgar, who was standing outside the room. Anyone would be intimidated by the solemn and cold aura he emanated.

“Miss Eyer?” A doctor waved his hand in front of Jean and passed her a piece of paper. The examination process was written on the paper, and her cooperation was required to complete the checkup.

An hour later, Jean was sent back to the VIP ward. She could see the most beautiful river view through the window. Although the winter scene looked slightly melancholy, Jean’s mood was lifted when she gazed at the wide view.

Meanwhile, Edgar stood behind her and stared at her back.

“Mr. Royden, this is the examination result.” Miles walked in with a few pieces of paper and passed them to Edgar.

Post-traumatic stress disorder. Loss of hearing. Unknown recovery period.

Edgar rubbed his temples, his eyes tinged with weariness.

He shouldn’t have just sent someone to secretly protect Jean. If luck wasn’t on her side, she might not be standing here and enjoying the view.

“Alright. You may go out.”

Edgar waved his hand, and kept the examination report in his coat pocket.

Jean turned around to see him standing quietly in the room without the intention to leave.

“You…” Just as Edgar was about to speak up, he was reminded that Jean had lost her hearing, so he took out his phone and typed. Then, he walked over to show her the text.

Jean glanced at the screen, and walked past Edgar with a straight face to lie down on the bed.

Seeing her response, Edgar furrowed his brows. What an ungrateful woman!

Having read Edgar’s expression, Jean blurted, “I knew it. You want me to stay here, and I’m not allowed to go anywhere without your permission.” She scoffed and continued, “We’re no longer related to each other. You don’t have to care if I die or live.”

I own my legs. I have the freedom to decide where I want to go. So what if Edgar is extremely powerful? He’s no one to control me.

The reason Jean hadn’t left was because she could get her hearing treated in the hospital, and meals were provided freely. After all, she couldn’t hear what Edgar was saying.

Edgar’s eyes darkened. He wanted to say something, but he ended up biting his tongue and leaving with a cold face.

After covering herself with the blanket, Jean closed her eyes as she reckoned Edgar must have left out of frustration.

However, the latter returned with a bag of documents a moment, and started working in the ward, disregarding the others.

Jean supported herself with her elbow and leaned against the bed. “You…”

Edgar did not even spare a glance at her but continued to focus on his work.

Jean felt as if he was nagging her, but all that she could hear was silence.

Oh well, since I can’t hear anything, I’ll just take it as if nothing happened.

At that thought, Jean stopped being bothered by Edgar’s existence and went to sleep.

Little did she know that within the few hours since she had was admitted to the hospital, the world outside was in disorder.

The drivers of the two trucks were detained because upon the traffic police’s investigation, it turned out that one of the medium-sized trucks had been tailing Jean, and was suspected of intentional homicide.

Meanwhile, the other truck was loaded with inventories from Royden Group. However, the driver’s name was not found in Royden Group’s staff list. The driver refused to reveal why he stole Royden Group’s truck.
