Chapter 303 Life is Better than Death
Jean pressed his arm and walked down the steps with difficulty. Every step is lighter and lighter, like stepping on a cloud. She couldn’t figure out why God would play tricks on her like this!
Wasn’t Gigi on her side? She walked forward in a daze, not paying attention to her feet, and almost fell down. A well-meaning man who passed by helped her, “Miss, you look awful. Are you okay? It’s better to let your family come to pick you up.”
Family? Jean’s eye sockets turned red again. Does she even have any family members?
Her only relative in this world turned out to be her ex-husband’s “iancée! And she had just given birth and was now lying in the delivery room.
Edgar should be sitting next to her at this time, right? Jean lowered his head and lost his mind for a while.
The passerby heard her cell phone ringing, called her a few times but the call did not go through. Out of kindness, she answered the phone for her, “If you are her friend, come and pick her up near the hospital. Her condition isn’t too good, and it’s unsafe for her.”
When Ben came, he saw her sitting on the side of the road in a daze. There was only an advertisement on the bus stop sign behind him.
“Jean?” He got out of the car and walked over, immediately took off his coat, and put it on her body. Jean raised her head and looked at him. Tears fell silently, “I…”
“Who bullied you! Is it that boy Edgar?” Ben was in a hurry. He was angry and annoyed, “Go, go to my place first.”
He was afraid that Jean would be uncomfortable, so instead of taking her back to Ben’s house, he took her to the apartment on the east side.
Seeing Jean’s dazed look, he felt indescribably distressed. After entering the door, Jean walked in barefoot, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and asked slowly, “Ben, do you have any wine?”
“I do.” He never hesitated to satisfy her demands. But soon, Ben regretted it. Jean drank one bottle after another. She wouldn’t stop. As soon as he reached out to stop her, she cried.
She made a soul-piercing cry. When Ben looked at it, he felt his heart breaking. When the Eyer family had an accident, and she divorced Edgar, she didn’t even cry like this.
“Jean, don’t cry. No matter how difficult it is, I will face it together with you.” He really didn’t know what words to say to comfort her. He stretched out his hand clumsily and gently stroked her back.
That seemed to have calmed her.
Ordinarily, Jean would not encounter any trouble.
After thinking about it, Ben felt that it was Edgar who bullied her!
At the end of Jean’s crying, her voice became hoarse, and her tears dried up. She just nestled on the floor and fell asleep soundlessly.
Ben carried her back to the room temporarily and put away all the sharp weapons in the apartment.
Just in case, he also told the property manager to watch the surveillance video here.
After that, he immediately drove to look for Edgar.
In the hospital corridor, Edgar received a call and just came out of the ward.
Ben rushed out of the elevator, went straight to him, raised his fist, and hit him.
There was a bang.
Edgar couldn’t dodge in time and fell on the trolley behind him.
The loud noise lingered in the entire corridor, and the surrounding patients and medical staff were frightened.
“You b*stard, you’ve had such a good time. What have you done to her? Can’t you let her go?” Ben roared, raised his fist, and wanted to hit her.
Edgar originally wanted to block it.
But after hearing his purpose, he actually gave up resisting.
“If doing this can make you vent her anger, then hit me.” Edgar lowered his hand.
He couldn’t forget the way Jean was trembling while holding the steering wheel in that car.
If he had gone one step later, maybe she would have taken a life on her back.
