Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 231 A Heavy Heart

In the hospital room, Jean watched Zenith type on his phone in a stunned trance. ‘How can such a coincidence

exist? Yet, you can’t hear a word I’m saying.’ Zenith sighed.

“Uncle, thank you for coming to see me, and as you can see, I’m completely fine, physically and mentally.” Jean

smiled at him. ‘But what I’ve heard is that that Royden brat keeps bothering you.’ Zenith typed out on his phone

with a frown on his forehead.

Before Jean could reply to him, there were footsteps outside the door, followed by Dr. Roffe entering with a group

of doctors and nurses.

“My apologies, Ms. Eyer will be barred from visitors momentarily as we are going to start her treatment.” “I see;

how long will it take? I’ll be in charge of her medical bills from now on.” Zenith said and stood up.

“That will depend on how she responds to the treatment. I will advise you to head back first.” Dr. Roffe glanced at

the nurses behind him, and they immediately started ushering Zenith out.

Jean did not know what they were saying, but her gut was telling her that they had come because of Edgar. She

sneered and laid back down on her bed. That man can’t help but make everyone forsake me!

She could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel with the help of Zenith, but now Edgar wanted to crush that

too. An image of a clean-cut face appeared in Jean’s mind when she thought about what Zenith said.

She and Jensen Rocher were childhood friends. She had always treated him like a younger brother, although he was

only two months younger than her. Yet, he always rejected her, saying that he wanted to be her older brother. It

was the kind of childhood innocence she could never go back to.

Besides the fact that she had been married once, she couldn’t imagine herself with Jensen. The last time they had

met was ten years ago. It was not possible.

That night, while being pushed back to her room, she saw a figure with flowers in their hands standing outside the

door. When he turned around, the light shone on his face.

Jean widened her eyes in shock, and she called out uncertainly, “Jensen?”

The man started to walk over. He was completely different from how he was when they were young. He had

become more mature and had an air of elegance. He was dressed in a

suit but did not exude the coldness Edgar did. Instead, he seemed warmer and more welcoming.

“Jean, I’m… back.”

Jean watched his lips move and then pointed to her ear while giving an exasperated laugh.

“I’m deaf.”

Jensen stumbled for a moment before passing a little notebook to Jean. Inside it was all sentences he had written

before coming to meet her,

On the first page, ‘Long time no see.’

On the second page, ‘Dad told me you were here.’

Jean couldn’t help but smile. He was still the same as before. He did not know how to say civil things nor knew how

to lie. To her, Jensen was one of those boys that had been sheltered their whole life.

Jensen walked behind Jean and told the nurse, “I’ll push her in.”

“But…” the nurse was in a tight spot. Dr. Roffe had told them to keep a close watch over Jean. She feared she would

lose her job if she did not abide by that order.

“I know Edgar told you to watch over her. I’m just going to stay for a bit, he wouldn’t know.” Jensen explained with

an icy look in his eyes.

The nurse jumped from the change of expression in his eyes. By the time she recollected herself, Jensen had

already pushed Jean into the hospital room.

“Did you just come back? I’ve already told Uncle this afternoon, I’m fine by myself, you don’t have to worry about

me.” Jean muttered to herself.

Jensen raised an eyebrow at her and then wrote in the notebook.

‘How is this fine?’

Jean’s irises flickered, and she quietly lowered her head. She was surer than anyone about what kind of life she was

living.

Jensen hurried over when he noticed the change in Jean’s attitude.

“I didn’t mean it like that. I…” And then he realized that Jean couldn’t hear him, so he wrote in the notebook.

‘Let me take you overseas for treatment. If you don’t get better, we don’t have to come back. Dad can help you

deal with Eyer Group.’

“Let’s not bother Uncle.” Jean chewed on her bottom lip. She knew that Edgar wouldn’t let her leave. If she left, she

couldn’t imagine what would happen to Eyer Group.

‘You don’t have to be afraid; you have me. I’ll come to pick you up tomorrow morning.’ Jensen wrote, then left after

placing the notebook in Jean’s hands.

Jean looked at that line of words and fell into deep thought.

Edgar wouldn’t even give her a chance to escape.

Things have gotten out of hand.

When the sun rose the next day, the nurses came in to help her change. She did not see Edgar, so she thought that

Jensen had talked to the hospital in letting her leave.

Jean felt troubled. If the Rocher family had been around back then, maybe dad wouldn’t have…

Soon, she was in a car, on her way to the airport. She went the VIP route and was in the VIP lounge before she

knew it, yet she had not seen Jensen.

Jean kept her gaze on the door, and soon a person walked in.

Jean’s eyes quivered, and her nails dug into her palm. She should have known that things wouldn’t have gone this

smoothly.

The man that had walked in was the devil.

“Are you upset that I’m not your childhood lover?” Edgar gave her a cruel smile as he sat on the sofa opposite her.

He knew that she couldn’t hear him, yet he kept talking to himself.

“He can’t even dream of taking my woman from me.”

Jean unfurled her palm and glared at Edgar, “What did you do to Jensen?”

I can’t believe the first thing out of her mouth isn’t concern for herself, but for that guy?

Edgar’s expression became frostier.

“No wonder you couldn’t accept Ben’s proposal, you had another man on your mind.”

From Jean’s point of view, she could only see his lips move. She couldn’t hear anything. All she could do was glare

at his frosty expression.

Jean was getting more and more anxious.

“Don’t involve other people in our business.”

The more she spoke, the frostier his expression became.

He reached his hand out and grasped her chin. He then said something and then hauled her onto the plane.

Jean was fearful of his expression.The moment she got onto the

plane; she cowered in her seat. Traces of a bruise were starting to show up on her neck. She felt a sting of pain.

She did not look at Edgar the entire time they were traveling.

“Get up.” Edgar pulled her up and pushed her into a wheelchair.

The door of the plane opened, and a sharp cold wind blew in. Before she could see where she was, Edgar had

chucked a jacket over her head.

Her heartbeat quickened in panic as she couldn’t hear or see. All she could do was clutch at the wheelchair as hot

tears rolled down her face.

When the jacket was finally taken away from her eyes, she had an indifferent expression. She was in front of a

private hospital, and everyone around her was a foreigner. She couldn

‘t see Edgar at all.

Jean was taken to an examination room, and once again, she went through a whole list of exams.

“Mr. Royden, the woman you have brought is not cooperating at all. She has already broken two machines. You

should go in to calm her down first.” The doctor in charge said with a sigh.

“Otherwise, we won’t be able to find the problem of her condition. We fear it might complicate her problem.”
