Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 134 Chapter 134 Fearful Jean stayed in the room until it was almost dawn. She breathed a sigh of relief when she figured that Edgar wasn't coming back and leaped out of the bed. She pulled open the door, ready to leave this place but saw Edgar's bodyguards standing outside.

"Ms. Eyer, the car's downstairs. Are you ready to leave?" One of them asked. Jean stood stunned as she had thought that they were there to stop her from leaving. She nodded and the bodyguards led her to the car; one in front of her and one behind her. When she got to the car, Jean frowned as she realized it was Edgar's personal car. Why is he being so nice? She once again remembered the things he had said in the room and concluded that it probably wasn't Edgar who knocked her out but him who saved her. Jean looked out at the passing scenery, unable to comprehend what was happening.

She did not go straight to the hospital but went hto change. She changed into a turtle neck to hide away the marks Edgar had left on her neck. Then, she went to buy breakfast before making her way to the hospital. Ben has a few examinations to go through today. Jean thought as she quickened her footsteps.

When she arrived at his room, she saw Ally and her family sitting inside. Ally was smiling sweetly while holding breakfast for Ben.

"Ben, I made you chicken soup and ssnacks. It's soothing for the stomach, how about trying some?" "Nah." Ben replied.

Ally awkwardly took it back, "But, I got up early to make it for you." Ben ignored her, and Ally dejectedly lowered the food in her hand. She looked up and saw Jean at the door, "Jean, you came." Everyone in the room turned to look at Jean.

Jean slowly walked in and placed the breakfast she had bought next to Ally's. It really lacked in visuals in comparison to Ally's handmade breakfast.

Yet, Ben requested, "Jeannie, givethe food." He had just rejected Ally, so this embarrassed the whole of the Sans family. Ally's parents' faces froze, and they left the room after hearing that, leaving just Ally sitting in there. Contents belong to "Letserve it. Jeannie, go sit down and rest." Farra Emioffered softly as she walked over. She felt guilty that things wouldn't have gotten this bad if she hadn't listened to Ally and sabotaged Jean.

"Yeah Jean, go and rest. You must be tired after having such a wild night at Imperial Hotel!" Ally said with pretend innocence while taking spictures that she had prepared beforehand out. "My dad was there on business last night but saw you and sguys together. He looks like the young master of the White family, no? I didn't know you were this wild, Jean." Jean gritted her teeth in annoyance, "Does that have anything to do with you?" Ally feigned shock. How can she be so poised even after her secrets have been exposed? Ally faked a smile and said, “I am just worried about you. I know Mrs. Ludwig doesn't like wild girls. Last night, you were drinking with four or five men; what if something happens, that wouldn't be good, would it?" "That's enough. Your parents have gone, there's no point for you to stay here." Farra couldn't stand it anymore and loudly scolded Ally.

Ben's expression had also darkened.

Ally could see that her words had affected them. She stood up happily, "You're right, Mrs. Ludwig. I'll go now, I'll cback and see Ben next time." While walking away, she gave Jean a look and sneered at her.

Once the door closed, the ward becquiet.

After deep contemplation, Farra couldn't stand it anymore and asked Jean, “Jeannie, was what she said just now true?" Jean lowered her eyes and said, "Yes." She didn't want to lie.

"How... How could you?! Just because you're tired of staying in the hospital, doesn't mean you should go to places like that!" Farra said exasperatedly.

The Ludwigs hadn't been doing well with their family finance. On top of that, Ben had gotten injured, so Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig were exhausted, trying to make ends meet. If, on top of that, they had to worry about Jean as well, things would beceven more messed up.

Jean picked at her fingernails, not knowing what to say.

Ben suddenly sat up on the bed and said, "Mom, I told Jean to go meet my friends." Jean snapped her head to look at him. Ben continued to eat the breakfast she had bought as though everything was alright. Farra gave them both a skeptical look.

"Really?" "Ally must have seen her and tried to spread gossip. Don't worry about it." Ben said and continued to eat. Since Ben had said so, there was nothing else Farra could say. She immediately brightened up and said, "I knew it, Jeannie is such a good girl, she wouldn't do that. I'm going to go out and leave you two to eat." Farra left the room with the intention for them to spend sttogether. As she walked out, she gave a glance at Jean, and seemed to ponder on something.

Jean sighed, "Ben, about last night..." "You don't need to explain to me," Ben finished the last mouth of porridge and looked up at her with bright eyes, "I know very well what kind of person you are." His honest words struck Jean, and she was touched.

"It was because of me, wasn't it?" Ben took his phone out, "I talked to Sonny this morning. He said that the Racing Association will delay announcing the results of the investigation. Jean, don't try to shoulder everything by yourself." It would break his heart if people were to find out about the things she was doing for him and manipulate the situation to their liking.

"I was just trying my best, at least he kept his words." Ben's heart wrenched when he heard Jean mention 'he', it hurt more than when Ally slandered Jean just now.

Ben put down the bowl in his hands and reached for Jean's hand, "If it wasn't because the doctor said m might have to get amputated, would you..." he said but started to choke up, "Would you still have agreed to date me?" He stared into Jean's eyes, his gaze overflowing with affection. Jean met his eyes and gave a slow nod.

Before Ben could reply, the nurse opened the door and pushed in a medicine cart, "Bed No. 3, it's tto Also, after the doctors' consultation, they've decided to go through with your change your bandages, second operation this afternoon, so no food or drinks two hours before that." Ben had let go of Jean's hand when the nurse cin, but when the nurse saw the intimacy between them, she said enviously, "If the operation is successful, he'll soon be discharged." Jean let out a breath she hadn't known she was holding, and the two of them smiled as they exchanged looks. Everything will get better.

That afternoon, something big was happening in Royden Group.

The president's office had made a unilateral decision to end all business associations with the Jackson family and planned on firing Jonathan Jackson.

Andy Shaw was in his office playing indoor golf when he heard the news from his secretary. He was even more shocked than Jonathan.

"What?" He exclaimed in shock and om accidentally hit the glass door with a golf club. He loosened his tie and said with a cold sneer, "Our dear Mr.

Royden is getting more and more free with his decisions." First, it was the lockdown on his stocks in the warehouse that had caused much loss to Andy, and now, he had broken the connection between him and the Jackson family.

How am I going to embezzle the company's funds? "F*ck!" Andy swore as he smashed the coffee table with his golf club.

Edbert Royden was passing by just outside Andy's office and saw the furious man thrashing things inside the office. He gave an exasperated sigh and left.
