Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 298

Chapter 298 Disappointed

After Edgar collapsed, he kept having a recurring fever. His fever was so serious that he even started talking nonsense while he was unconscious.

They tried everything they could think of to make him better. But he still stayed unconscious. “There isn’t any more Paracetamol.” Miles sweated anxiously.

Jean looked at the face in front of her. Her emotions grew more and more complicated. Why did it turn out to be like this?

“Madam, these are herbs from our village. It can be used to relieve fever. It might work.” The boy who gifted Edgar the windmill came over with a handful of grass in his small hand.

The bearded man chased after him and picked him up in his arms. “What nonsense are you spurting about? This is just our village’s local and traditional method. What if something happens to Mr. Royden after he takes the herb? Are you able to take responsibility for that?”

The boy was frightened. He cried aggrievedly.

Jean looked at the scratch marks on his hands. She got up and walked over.

“That’s the only method we can try now.”

The boy’s tears stopped immediately. He whimpered, “Mr. Royden will get better!”

The bearded man studied Jean carefully and muttered, “Are you his fiancée?”

Jean was thinking about how she should feed Edgar the herbs. When she heard the bearded man’s question, she could not help but smile bitterly. “I used to be his wife.”

This man’s fiancée was still waiting for him to return to the hospital.

Jean’s heart broke a little. She accidentally cut her finger with the knife that she was using to handle the herbs.

When blood oozed out of her wound, she did not feel any pain. After a long time, she finally finished feeding him with the herb.

“Whatever. I’ll just try whatever I can do.” She looked at Miles, who was standing at a side quietly. “Go and have a rest. I will keep a watch first for the first half of the night. If not, both of us will be exhausted.”

Miles opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out of his mouth. He turned around and sat in a corner.

It wasn’t the time to act heroic.

Nobody knew when the rescue team would come. The medical supplies and food…

Were all things they were unsure if they would receive it in time.

At this critical moment, they had to try hard to persevere.

The car door was half open. Edgar lay inside the car. Jean sat outside. She looked up at the starry sky, and recalled many things from the past.

She had looked forward and was so elated to marry this guy before everything came crashing down.

But after she got married to him, she was only left with disappointment and sadness.

Later, after her father passed away, all the happiness she felt from their marriage disappeared.

But now she was looking after her enemy.

Jean took a deep breath and muttered to herself. “Dad, you must think that I’m useless, am I not?”

She did not wish to have anything to do with this man anymore. She did not want to…

Suddenly, she felt a hard grip on her shoulder.

Jean turned around to look. Her distance from him suddenly became nearer.

The tip of their noses touched each other. He was still in a daze, but he managed to mouth a word, “Sorry.”

…

It was just dawn.

There was commotion all around.

Just as Jean opened her eyes, she was pulled into his arms. He spoke coldly, “Don’t look. Don’t talk.”

His voice sounded soft as it rang in her ear.

Jean froze. She struggled for a bit but failed to break free from his embrace. She leaned forward slightly and looked out.

Only then she saw a few people wrestling with each other. The scene was a chaotic mess.

“The food is mine!”
