Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 307

Chapter 307 Exchanging Conditions

“The baby…” Jean lowered her eyes and did not say anything else. Gigi did not know what she was thinking. She was in despair. She rubbed her eyes and then kneeled in front of Jean.

“You’re my last hope. You know that I can’t lose Edgar. As long as you leave him to me, I’m willing to listen to any of your conditions.” Her face was wet with tears. If an outsider saw this scene, they would probably think that Jean was bullying Gigi.

“Edgar Royden is not mine to give. There hasn’t been anything between us since a long time ago.” Jean said bitterly.

“But he asked me to donate my blood to you. If you both don’t acknowledge it, I know that you will always have a special place in his heart.” Gigi was biting at her lip so hard that she almost broke the skin there.

As long as Jean stays in this city, there will never be a place for me in Edgar’s heart.

“Jean, could you please, leave this city? One year, no, three years. As long as you leave for three years, I will fulfill any of your conditions.” Gigi said while clutching Jean’s hands. Her eyes kept shifting.

When Ben came back to the room, he only saw Gigi getting up and gratefully saying, “I thank you on behalf of my son.” She said that and quickly left.

“What did you agree to?” Ben’s eyes darkened. “It’s nothing. She just wanted to thank me for donating my blood to her.” Jean said with a smile.

Ben walked to Jean. “If it was anyone else, I would’ve believed that. But since it is a Reece, there is no way. Jeannie, no matter what she offers you, you have to think of yourself first.”

Jean nodded and said, “Maybe the gods had planned this. Her request and my wish are the same.” Ben did not understand. “I want to leave Edgar. For real, this time.”

“Then what about avenging your father?” Ben was a bit flustered. He knew more than anyone else what kind of life Jean had been living these few years. The thing that kept her afloat was the thought of avenging her family. Her saying that she wanted to let go of it was not good news. How would she live now?

“I don’t want to keep lying to myself. I can’t do anything to Edgar. The Roydens are a powerful family and corporation. I would lose all the Eyer family’s fortune if I put myself against him. It’ll be like throwing straws against the wind. I don’t wish to continue.” Jean sighed tiredly.

Ben could only nod his head as he realized that Jean had thought hard about it.

“That’s good. Maybe your life will be more relaxed now.”

“Ben, could you do me another favor?”

…

Edgar hurried to the hospital after dealing with work. When he reached the lobby, he saw Ben coming out. He was holding onto Jean’s suitcase.

“Where is she?” Edgar asked with a frown.

Ben swiftly glanced at him and said, “Gone missing. By the time I arrived this morning, she had already dealt with the discharge procedure.”

“Don’t lie to me. That’s impossible. Her body is weak, and she has no one to lean on. Besides you, who else would help her?” Edgar blocked Ben’s way.

The two men stood facing each other. The air between them grew thick with tension.

“Oh, so you know about that? Then how about you go ask Gigi when she said to Jean?!”

Edgar’s brows furrowed together, and he quickly made his way into the hospital.

Ben watched him leave and then pulled Jean’s suitcase into the car.
