Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247

Mr.Gary looked at the gradually darkened skies.

He frowned and looked at the time, "We are already forty minutes late.Are we using the right route?"

"Mr.Gary, there was a mistake with the GPS just now, so we can only use the highway until we get a signal.Then, we can determine our location and direction"

The assistant answered right away.

Jean looked at the weeds by the roadside.

"This direction should be right.That is City River, but...I remember that there is a piece of swamp area here."

"Ms.Eyer, you don't have to worry.Ray is a local.Jean looked at the lights outside the window.She quietly unbuckled herself.

"Mr.Royden, we have lost contact with everyone in that car.Their GPS is not showing an accurate location too.We only know what they are headed toward West City District’

"They couldn't be stuck in the swamp, could they?"

Someone suggested.

The man's look became stern instantly.He ordered coldly.

"Find them.Immediately’

"Yes, Mr.Royden!"

They were still empty handed after half an hour.

Royden Group immediately formed several small groups and started to search the whole way to West City District.

"Are you going too, Mr.Royden?"

Miles was a little hesitant.

"You still have to meet with Mr.Wilson tomorrow.If anything happens..."

Edgar frowned and continued to walk down the hill.He remembered that Jean was just wearing a thin coat.

The night was cold.He had to find her as soon as possible.

"Mr.Royden, careful!"

Edgar stepped into the wet mud.

"Are there any tire marks nearby?"

"Yes.But they stop here.They must have changed route, or...sunk into the swamp."

The employee's voice got lower and lower, because Edgar's look was too terrifying.The man's cold eyes looked pitch black under the dim moonlight.

"Mr.Royden, the rescue search team is almost here.Please return to the car first for your own safety."

Miles tried to advise Edgar even though he knew he might get scolded.

Others might not know this, but as Edgar's personal assistant, he knew what would happen if they did not find Jean.

"Continue searching"

Edgar merely said these words, then took his coat and headed downhill.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHe cannot put Jean's life in danger.

"Both of you follow Mr.Royden""

"Right"

However, because Edgar was too anxious to find Jean, his employee soon lost him.

Moreover, their phones had no signal.

Both the employees had no other choice.

One stayed back while the other headed back to inform Miles about this—Mr.Royden was lost too! The dead leaves cackled when they were stepped on.

Jean tilted her head and looked at the small bonfire before her.

The three people beside her all suffered injuries.

"Want some?"

Jean waved the branch in her hand.

A roasted sweet potato was on it.

The three of them looked at her pitifully and nodded eagerly.

Jean was happy to see their reaction.

"Great.Your brain is not frozen yet.But I found this sweet potato, so I shall eat it myself"

"Can you give us some..."

"No."

Jean refused right away without waiting for him to even speak.

Nobody knew how long it would take for the rescue team to find them.She had to stay strong, and not be dragged down by these three fools.She had warned them about the swamp nearby, but they hadn't heeded her advice.

When their car rolled downhill, Jean managed to jump out of the car in time.So, she only suffered from minor scratches and did not have any huge injuries.

The three of them, however, had bruises all over them.

Jean had to pull them out of the swamp.

But now, they wanted her to share her dinner! Are they out of their minds? If it wasn't for their mistake, she wouldn't have had to suffer from hunger out here in the cold.

Jean ate faster the more she thought about it.
