Chapter 535
The night was quiet.
When Gigi finally opened her eyes, she was not surprised to see a few familiar faces surrounding her.
Her gaze was that of exhaustion and helplessness.
"You all..."
Her voice was hoarse when she started to speak.
"Why are you all surrounding me?"
She was disappointed to discover that she was still alive.
Jean pressed her hand against the headboard and bit her lower lip.
"Sheena, Dr.Walterson, can you leave us for a moment? I want to speak to her privately"
Sheena tried to say something, but Andrew dragged her out of the room.
As soon as the door closed, Jean took a deep breath and asked, "Why did you do it?"
Gigi's gaze turned cold.She appeared to have lost all hope for the future as she snorted and said, "Why didn't I die? Why..."
"How long are you going to keep torturing yourself like this?"Jean asked softly.
She pulled out a chair and sat down.
Then, she looked at Gigi's face as she lay in bed.
Her sickly pale face burned into her mind.
Jean did not doubt Gigi when she agreed to cooperate with the doctor's treatment.She also did not wish to pressure her.
However, now that something like this had happened, Jean had no choice but to get involved.
Gigi slowly turned to look at Jean.
"You don't have to bother about me.Can't you let me die on my own?"
She gripped the blanket tightly and continued with a cold smile, "Even though we are blood-related, I don't want you to get involved with my life."
Jean stared at her for some time before saying slowly, "You tried to drag Xena into your death and interfere with my life."
"Snap: The tension in Gigi's heart suddenly snapped.
"What makes you think your plan is flawless? I know you hid it from Sheena so that she would be a witness.You knew she couldn't lie and would reveal her true emotions before the reporters and police, making her even more convincing."
"Then, you involved Dr.Walterson in your plan.Although I'm not sure how you convinced him, him being a doctor provided a good cover and made your plan a lot easier"
"But have you never considered that you might die if something went wrong?"
Jean had time to think things through while waiting for Gigi to regain consciousness.Her thoughts were unusually clear at this moment.
She believed Edbert was not behind this because George looked shocked when they received the news.
Furthermore, the police were able to rush to the scene in such a short time.
Then, she heard what Andrew said to the police and felt even more suspicious about the matter.
Jean sighed and said, "You can contend with me, but don't hurt yourself"
Gigi turned away.
Moonlight shrouded her figure.She slowly closed her eyes and let tears flow onto her pillowcase.
"My life now is no different from dying, She sniffled and pushed herself against the headboard to sit on the bed.
"There is no one willing to donate to me.They refused as soon as Andrew revealed my identity to them and blocked the hospital from contacting them"
Gigi was pale from her illness.
The desperation in her tone keenly expressed her sorrow.
"It's not your fault.Perhaps there's a miscommunication somewhere."
Jean tried to persuade Gigi, but she refused to listen.
"It's my fault.I shouldn't have let Sam take me away.I shouldn't have existed in this world and done so much wrong.How can I expect anyone to take care of me?I...I don't want to drag you down"
Gigi's lips trembled.
"If not for me, you wouldn't have to seek revenge against Edbert again.There would also be one less obstacle stopping you from getting back together with Edgar.Despite Gigi and Jean not having much chance to interact and understand each other, Gigi's words still exposed the thoughts lingering in Jean's mind.
Meanwhile, Sheena stood on tiptoes outside the door and peered inside.
On the other hand, Andrew stood calmly beside her as if waiting for someone to arrive.
"Dr.Walterson, are you not worried at all? What if they start arguing? Perhaps we should go in to check on them.
