Thirty minutes later, Miles came with a doctor.
The latter conducted a thorough examination of Jean.
"Did this woman just have an abortion surgery?" Edgar squeezed a word through his teeth, “Yes.” "Her vitals are weak.
She needs ample rest.
Avoid herbs and supplements.
Her diet should be light for the time being." The doctor gave a prognosis.
Edgar's heart sank at the doctor's prognosis.
Ben and Rachel heard about Jean's condition and hastily rushed to Eyer residence.
"Why didn't you watch her when you knew she was pregnant?" Ben bellowed and seized Edgar by his collar, "What did you tell me before? You promised you'd look after her and the child in her womb.
Is this how you looked after them?" ‘Poof!’ Ben furiously punched Edgar.
The latter soberly endured the series of onslaughts.
Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
"F*ck off now! Do you have no shame at all?” Ben bawled mournfully, "She even tried to...” "Mr. Ludwig, Ms. Eyer doesn't want insignificant people to know about it” Rachel stood by Jean's bed with red eyes, "Let him go.
Ms. Eyer will not be happy when she wakes up and sees him.” Edgar was anxious and clueless.
He couldn't do anything but resignedly be chased out of Jean's ward by Ben and Rachel.
Ben warned Edgar before he closed the door on Edgar.
“You've hurt her enough.
Settle your mess with Royden family, or | won't let you near her again.’ Edgar's eyes dimmed.
He was caught in a daze for a long time.
Then, he slowly retreated his feet.
Susan coaxed, "Mr. Royden, you should go back first.
There's nothing you can do here.
| will stay back and cook for Ms. Eyer.
| will let you know if there's anything” Susan thought it would be best for Edgar to leave Jean's ward, but she was diplomatic in dealing with Edgar's delicate feelings.
Edgar slumped his shoulders helplessly.
He dug his fingernails into his flesh and obligated, "Okay.” He was left with no choice.
Miles came back to the ward after sending the doctor away.
"Mr. Royden, | have sent someone to the hospital to investigate the incident.
Except for immediate family members, otherwise, we are not allowed to peruse Ms. Eyer's medical records." Miles explained.
Edgar's hands were cold and clammy.
He felt suffocated.
He bobbed his head and let out a bitter sneer.
"Karma is a b*tch.
Perhaps | deserve it." He had made irreversible mistakes from the get-go.
Now, he had to suffer the consequences of his vices.
"Don't worry, Mr. Royden...
Ms. Eyer is in stable condition now.
Everything will be fine.” Miles didn't know how to comfort him.
Looking at the disconcerted Edgar, Miles was apprehensive for him.
Unlike his usual self, Edgar looked bizarre and manic.
"Car key." Edgar reached out his palm.
Miles was confused.
Then, he quickly handed the car key to Edgar.
Edgar grabbed the car key, got into the car, and drove away.
Meanwhile, Ben stood at the window, watching Edgar from Jean's room.
He turned around and walked to Jean's bed when Edgar had driven away.
“Rachel, go down and get Susan to prepare some food for Jean.
She would be starving when she wakes up." Ben was concerned about Jean's well-being.
At present, and after what had happened, Ben no longer just loved Jean.
He felt more than just love.
He was sympathetic to Jean's choices.
He sincerely hoped that Jean would wake up soon.
