Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 548

Chapter 548

Edbert manipulated the electric wheelchair and entered the hall, only to find that the lights of the entire building were dimmed.

The lengthy corridor appeared unusually quiet at this time, with the exception of a few chandeliers in the corner that were still glowing. The hospital ought to have workers on duty even at this late hour.

Edbert frowned, then sneered. “This is a stage prank.”

He kept a close eye on his surroundings before heading straight for the elevator. The door opened, but the interior was incredibly light.

He entered and waited.

But as soon as the elevator door shut, there was a huge crash. All of the lights quickly went out.

There was no sound outside, and he was trapped in the elevator.

“Anyone there?”

He spoke hoarsely, “Is the electricity out?”

The elevator dropped more than one meter as soon as he slammed the door.

Edbert almost fell out of the wheelchair.

His palms began to ooze with sweat.

All sorts of chaotic wails started to sound outside. Among them was a raspy croak, “Edbert?”

“My wife and children needed that money!”

“The money you promised for that false testimony…

Who did you give it to? You heathen…didn’t you promise?”

Edbert sat in the elevator’s dim interior.

His back was stiff like a cornered animal.

He stared at the closed elevator doors, pretending he didn’t hear anything.

“The elevator is broken! I’m trapped!”

It was challenging to reach the emergency call at this height since he was wheelchair-bound.

I can only shout for help…

After more than half an hour, there was still no movement outside.

Although Edbert’s patience was increasingly wearing thin, the yelling voices persisted in demanding a response from him. “Mr. Royden, why won’t you answer me?”

The phantom persisted. Again and again.

Edbert finally snapped, “I’ll burn you that money. You spend its ashes down there!”

Jean sat in the monitoring room upstairs.

/ find it exceedingly absurd as I watch Edbert’s every move on the elevator. Such a person is the one who broke so many people’s trust for the sake of fame and money.

To this day, Paul Jevin is still alive.

They have spent their whole lives regretting and blaming themselves for the choices they made back then, but the mastermind behind the scenes can be so cruel.

She clenched her teeth and turned up the volume all the way.

A long-planned ghostly cry suddenly sprang from the void.

“What…”

The entire structure resounded with screaming.

Even Edbert, who was in the elevator, was startled to the point of breaking out in a light sweat.

“The hell? Stop pulling pranks now. In my whole life, I have never owed anyone. I have a clear conscience! I have nothing to be afraid of.”

“Mr. Gibson didn’t shut his eyes when he died.”

As instructed by Paul, Jean had previously ordered recording technicians to capture every word.

Only individuals who were present when the event occurred may have known these facts. They are realities that have been dormant for a very long time.

The sole survivor, Paul Jevin, also passed away.

It seems sensible that no one should be aware of this, but when the voice really rang out, Edbert started to become alarmed.
