Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328 The Final Warning

Susan said many other things before heading to her room to rest. Jean stood before the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out into the night. She hesitated for a while before dialing Edgar’s number.

She believed he should be reaching the village at this hour. Edgar soon picked up the call. His deep voice sounded from the phone. “Hello?”

Jean wrapped the knitted shawl tightly around her body. “Have you arrived?” “Not yet. The road hasn’t been repaired yet, so it’s not an easy drive.” His tone softened slightly, “How about your side?”

Jean looked down and paused for a while before replying, “We’re all right.” A long silence followed. “You…”

“You…”

They spoke at the same time. Each was surprised to hear the other’s voice.

Edgar glanced at the moon from the car window. “You should go to bed soon and don’t worry about anything. I know Mr. Jevin’s character. He would bring the secret to his grave. I have some idea who revealed the information to the reporters.”

Jean pinched her fingertips. He had said what she wanted to say. It was likely Sam who exposed the secret. He was the fifth person to take that photo.

He was likely furious that Edgar treated the Reece family coldly and used this secret to seek revenge against Edgar. However, that also did not make sense. If Edgar discovered the truth, Sam would also be dragged into it.

Furthermore, Sam would not be able to bear Edgar’s wrath. Thus, he would not be that stupid to dig his own grave. As such, there must be someone else who knew everything.

Jean’s hand shook slightly. “Is Miles with you?” “He is. Don’t worry. Nothing will…”

However, a loud crashing noise sounded, and the call ended immediately. Jean stood stunned by the window as the phone fell from her hand.

Numerous people crowded the hospital corridor. “Did something happen to Edgar?”

“I heard his car turned into a curve at an abandoned factory and exploded.” “His driver and assistant were also in the car and are injured.”

Jean wore a cap and a mask. She managed to squeeze past the reporters after much difficulty.

However, like them, the nurse prevented her from entering Edgar’s room. “I’m sorry, only the patient’s family is allowed to enter. Please remain quiet. Otherwise, I’ll call security.”

The scene quieted down slightly.

Suddenly, Gigi rushed over in her high heel shoes. “Step aside. I need to go in.”

“You are?”

“I’m Mrs. Royden.” Gigi raised her chin. She put her sunglasses back on and smirked, “I’m his closest kin.”

As his spouse, she also had the right to sign hospital consent forms for him.

Naturally, the nurse opened the door for her.

Jean stood in a corner by the door and pulled down her cap to make herself appear as invisible as possible. As Gigi brushed past her, Jean smelled a faint cologne from Gigi’s body.

It was the kind of cologne worn by men.

Jean frowned. Has Gigi gone insane?

“That’s enough. Everyone else, please leave and stop other patients from resting.” After saying that, the nurse turned around and went in.

The other reporters gathered in groups of three and two. They decided to give up and leave.

After all, this was a private hospital. It was pointless for them to wait here.

Meanwhile, Jean paced near the door several times and could not find a way to get in. She sighed and walked to another corridor.

Suddenly, she looked up and noticed a photo of the hospital’s donor on the wall. Zenith?

She immediately pulled out her phone and dialed Zenith’s number.

“Mr. Rocher, sorry for calling you at this hour. I’m hoping that you can help me with a matter.”

Zenith replied without hesitation, “How may I help you?”

Zenith was one of the donors of this hospital. He called the hospital, and a nurse soon came to Jean to bring her in.

“Ms. Eyer, we must follow the hospital regulation, so you can only wait here. We can’t let you into the patient’s room.”
