Chapter 304 Failed Hope
Ben ran in while carrying Jean. The sound of his footsteps slowly became quieter. Edgar stood on his spot and wrinkled his brows. “Let’s follow them.” He said.
Just like what Ben had said to him, he knew he had the least right to care about Jean. If it wasn’t for their relationship, she wouldn’t have gotten into those troubles in the village. Edgar did not leave his spot. He stood below the window of the emergency room outside the hospital, listening to the sounds inside.
“Quick! Call Dr. Zopher!” “The patient has lost a lot of blood. Her blood pressure keeps dropping because of the alcohol she has taken. We need to…”
There was a constant frown on Edgar’s otherwise, handsome face. After asking for an update, Miles came to report to Edgar. “Was she drinking with Ben Ludwig? To this extent?”
“Yes, Mr. Royden.” Miles did not need to look at the expression on Edgar’s face. He knew what he was feeling from his tone of voice. Edgar was becoming more and more depressed.
What happened? Why would she drink to that extent? Especially after losing so much blood. Edgar thought he knew Jean, but he didn’t understand why she did that. The frown on his forehead deepened.
“Mr. Royden, how about you go treat your wound first? You have a press conference tomorrow.” Miles advised.
If the news of the president of Royden Group injured spread out, many people would try to use that as an opportunity to attack Royden Group.
Edgar did not take it to heart, instead, he ordered Miles, “Tell me once Jean is stabilized.”
He knew that he had no right to stay by her side. But the least he could do was to make sure she was safe.
Meanwhile, Gigi opened her eyes in another hospital room. Her body was still weak. The moment she opened her eyes, she searched for Edgar.
“Where is he?”
I went through so much trouble giving birth, but where is he?!
Winnie cleared her throat and replied, “Something important came up at the company, so he had to go to work.”
Gigi lost grip of her emotions and burst out heart-wrenchingly, “How important is it that he left without even having a look at his son! Or does he not care if we died? No! Did he go to look for that b*tch, Jean Eyer?”
“Gigi, calm down. You’ll scare your child.”
The child was crying uncontrollably, and the nursemaid hurried over to soothe him.
Gigi’s mind was full of hatred. She wanted to rip the blankets off her and go look for Jean.
“Quiet down a little. He’s busy because he had to go deal with the sh*t you and Andy left. The news of the two of you banding together and selling off Royden Group has been exposed. Your dad fainted out of anger and is now looking to find people to help. Edgar has also gone to the office to sort this out.” Winnie said to stop Gigi.
“What?!” Gigi was stunned. “No way. Andy said it was foolproof. If it wasn’t because he assured me, I wouldn’t have gone behind Edgar’s back and taken those photos. I didn’t even get any photos, just some unimportant documents.” Gigi did not want to admit that she had committed a serious offense.
Winnie shook her head and said, “The police and lawyers came over today. You should be lucky that Edgar still cares for you. He told them not to touch you, and that you will cooperate with the questioning. Your dad also said that you should push all the blame on Andy Shaw and say that it has nothing to do with the Reece family. Do you understand?”
This was the best plan they had at the time.
Gigi thought it was very logical and nodded her head, “I understand. I won’t go look for Edgar. I’ll wait for him to finish dealing with this and then come bring me and the baby back to Royden Residence.” Hope once again flared up in her eyes. She looked at the baby the nursemaid was carrying and gave a bright smile.
“I knew it was going to be a boy.”
