Chapter 332 I’ll Give You Another Chance
Nathan regained his composure and mumbled, “Could it be that it was Jean who exposed Sam’s mistress too?” Edgar nodded with a solemn look, but his tone was rather relaxed. “Possibly.”
“Try your best to get Jean back. Both of you are truly a perfect match. I bet you can’t find another person like her who knows you so well.”
Although Gigi had been clinging onto Edgar all these years, she was clueless about Edgar’s preference and couldn’t fit into his circle. On the other hand, Jean was different. She could even discern the complicated situation and share the same opinion with Edgar coincidentally.
Edgar’s eyes turned dull. He fidgeted his fingers and muttered, “I hope so too, but I’m afraid I’ve lost the chance.” Just then, the sound of footsteps came forth from the outside. Nathan stood up immediately.
When the door was opened, Edbert appeared at the entrance. “Hi, Mr. Edbert.” Nathan greeted Edbert with a nod. Edbert looked at Edgar who was lying on the bed, and sighed in distress, “I wonder when he will come around…”
“Yeah, the doctor said…” Nathan couldn’t bear to hide the truth from Edbert, seeing his worried look, but he was at a loss for words.
Suddenly, Gigi ran into the ward with a consent form and cried, “The doctor said Edgar needs brain surgery. What are we going to do?”
Nathan was shocked. Brain surgery? Did we cross the line this time? I’ve never discussed this with the doctors about this ‘treatment’. Edgar is totally normal. If he undergoes this surgery, the consequences will be unpredictable.
Nathan freaked out and was at a loss. Edbert, too, wore a shocked look. He secretly observed Nathan and only averted his gaze after perceiving his concerned expression.
Then, he attempted to comfort Gigi. “The doctor must have made this decision after careful consideration. We have to trust their judgment. Let’s get him to arrange the surgery as soon as possible. We have to try every method that can possibly save Edgar.”
“No way! I don’t agree!” Gigi squealed. “The doctor said that Edgar might not be able to come around if the surgery fails!” If that happens, I’m going to be a widow!
The commotion in the ward alerted the director of the hospital.
“We understand your feelings as the patient’s family, but this is the best treatment option at this moment. Indeed, there are risks involved. However, the patient might never be able to regain consciousness if this situation drags on.”
Gigi couldn’t stop tearing up. “W-What if he dies in the surgery?” She covered her face and wept non-stop.
Finally, Edbert made the call. “Please proceed with the surgery.”
Three hours later, Edgar was pushed into the operating room.
Meanwhile, Jean changed into a surgery gown next door and entered the operating room. In fact, the hospital had informed Nathan beforehand. This treatment plan was just a show for the outsiders, while Jean used her relationship with Zenith and took the chance to make the hospital think that Edgar had agreed with the surgery.
She walked into the operating room alone. After the nurses sterilized the room and left, she took a syringe and walked to the side of the operating table.
“Mr. Royden, I’ll now inject the anesthetic.”
Her voice which was projected through a mask sounded different. By the time Edgar recognized her voice, his arm was already injected with the liquid.
He grasped Jean’s wrist instantly. “Why are you here?”
He ripped off Jean’s mask and exposed her smirk. “Shouldn’t you be more concerned about what liquid I injected in you?”
