Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 498

Chapter 498

Edgar fixed his gaze on Jean for quite some time before uttering slowly, "I respect others’ decisions, but I won't change my principles."

His decision to help Jean progress on this case was unrelated to his reluctance to exterminate Edbert.

There was a clear distinction between the two matters.

Jean dug her nails into her palm and mumbled in a low voice, "You asked the police to pause the investigation because you didn't want Sam to rat out Edbert."

Edgar pressed his temples and did not answer.

Jean's eyes flickered as she looked toward the direction in which Gigi went.

"If it wasn't because of my insistence, Sam might not die."

She hated those who caused the Eyer family and Edgar in their current situation, so she was determined to settle the matter, but little did she think that...

Jean pressed her lips as her eyes turned cold.

"Gigi might not testify in the court anymore"’ She turned and walked away from the cold corridor. Edgar caught up with her.

"It's not your fault."

Jean muttered, "I know, but I can't accept how things turn out currently."

The rage and unreleasable emotions accumulated and augmented in her.

Just then, George, Edbert's assistant, ran in and said, "Mr.Edgar, Mr.Edbert is in a critical state.

Can you head to Southern Hospital immediately? His family's consent is required urgently to proceed with the operation"

Edgar was startled.

What are the odds? Jean's expression turned more ghastly, but she knew what was appropriate to do.

"Go ahead.I shall leave first."

With that, she walked down the stairs, got into the car, and closed the door.

Even the driver was dumbfounded.

"Ms.Eyer, where's Mr.Royden?"

"He needs to head to the hospital to settle some affairs.Let's go first."

It was Edgar's family affair.He had given Jean enough respect, and it was now her turn to return the favor.

Edgar walked down the stairs and watched the car as it drove out the gate and disappeared at the end of the street.

"We should hurry up, Mr.Edgar."

George urged anxiously.

Edgar opened the car door and asked, "What happened to Uncle Edbert?"

"He had a brain hemorrhage" George answered smoothly.

George sped all the way to the hospital and disregarded the traffic lights.

Edgar's eyes darkened when he perceived George's desperate behavior.

When they arrived outside the operating room, the operation had already started.

Outside the room sat a thin figure.

When she heard the sound of footsteps, she lifted her head and mumbled with watery eyes, "Edgar?"

Xena stood up instantly and threw herself into Edgar's arms.

"I didn't expect this to happen!"

Edgar furrowed his brows.He knew Edbert once got married overseas, but he never knew he had a daughter.

Hence, he was shocked after becoming aware of the news that day.

Little did he expect that the 'Ms.Sparks’ mentioned by the reporters was Xena.

Xena sobbed.

"My foster parents kept the coin that I wore when they adopted me.
