Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 141 Beyond Obvious

He forced me to do those stuff with him, and now he’s worried that I might be pregnant?

Biting her lips, she immediately replied, “Don’t worry. I’ll just treat it as if I was bitten by a dog last night.”

At the other end of the phone, Edgar had just ended a meeting and was still in the conference room. He had sent

her that message because he was worried about her.

Unexpectedly, she replied rather quickly. Her insults are also…

At this moment, Miles brought Nathan to see him.

Seeing the muted anger on his face, Nathan asked hesitantly, “Is someone annoying you?”

“It’s nothing.” Edgar turned his phone over, but his eyes were bitingly fierce.

Nathan quickly turned around and mouthed to Miles, “Who?”

Miles could not reply to him directly, so he merely shook his head.

Nathan frowned, but he soon figured it out. “Oh, it must be Jean!”

Edgar jerked his head to him immediately, as though he had been caught red-handed. In the next instant, aloofness

filled up in his eyes. “How did you know?”

Nathan, too, was shocked by Edgar’s serious question.

“I can’t believe that you haven’t noticed it! Don’t you know that you only lose control whenever it comes to Jean?

You don’t even care when it relates to Gigi and you will just ask your subordinates to handle her.”

Nathan had already seen through him on this aspect.

Otherwise, it was impossible for Jean to remain safe when her family declared bankruptcy.

Many people did not know that if Jean had not gone to jail, she wouldn’t have been able to face the many troubles

that came with her family going bankrupt. The debt collectors and their enemies would have harmed her.

It was true that Edgar had sent her to jail personally, but it was out of a desire to protect her, even though he would

never admit that.

Since his intentions had been seen through, he frowned and got up. “Why are you nosier nowadays?”

With that, he stretched his long legs to walk out of the room, but Nathan quickly followed him.

“Hey! About this, I heard that the Ludwig family is about to recognize her as their future-daughter-in-law. What do

you think about that?”

If Jean was single, there was still a chance for Edgar. However, if she was engaged or married…

Edgar immediately stopped walking.

“Impossible.” His cold voice rang throughout the entire corridor.

Nathan snorted loudly. “You are already her ex-husband, and you are now with Gigi. It doesn’t matter if you

approve of it or not.”

“Don’t trigger me. The time is not right yet.” With that, he sighed.

I have too many things to settle. I really hope that Jean is willing to wait for me. I’m willing to explain to her the

grudges between our families, if she wants me to.

Looking at his lonely figure, Nathan quickly followed him.

“Don’t blame me for not reminding you of this. Once you lose something, it might never come back.

Upon hearing that, Edgar’s gaze fell, and he remained silent for a long time.

After they entered the elevator, he asked slowly, “Are you interested in motor racing?”

“What do you mean?”

“Ben’s team needs some funding.”

…

In the hospital, after Jean came back with Farra, Ben was delighted to see that they had a good time shopping

together.

“Thanks for taking care of Jean, Mom.”

“Silly boy, there’s no need for that. I will often bring her out after this. You should take care of your health, and

settle down with her after you are discharged.”

Jean was peeling an apple, but when she heard that, her wrist trembled and she accidentally cut herself.

“Ouch.”

“What’s wrong? Let me have a look.” Ben pulled her over with a frown. Sighing, he said, “Be careful. Here, let me

do it.”

“It’s okay. I can do it,” Jean replied without even looking at him.

Ignoring her refusal, Ben took the knife from her without another word. While peeling the apple, he said, “I can still

do this, you know.”

Jean’s eyelashes fluttered when she heard that.

Did he overhear what Ally said this morning? It’s impossible, because he was out from the tranquilizer shot. He

should have been fast asleep at that time.

“Here, this is for both of you, I’ll eat the core,” Ben joked, giving both Jean and Farra each a half of the apple.

Jean looked at him closely before taking a bite. I think I might be overthinking.

While chatting, Dr. Roffe brought a few other doctors into the room. “How are you doing?”

“Dr. Roffe!” Looking at the group, Farra was confused. “Could it be…”

She looked at them nervously, worried that there were complications after the operation. Otherwise, why would

they be here?

“No, it’s nothing like that. Don’t worry.” With a smile, Dr. Roffe introduced the doctors to them. “This is Dr. James,

and this is Dr. Michaelson. They are both orthopedic specialists from overseas, and they are here because of the

collaboration between both our hospitals. They will be the surgeons for Mr. Ludwig’s upcoming operation.”

“This…” Farra was at a loss, and Dr. Roffe pulled her aside to say something to her.

Upon hearing that, she immediately lit up.

“Thank you so much, Dr. Roffe! Thank you, Dr. James and Dr. Michaelson! This is great! Amazing!”

Jean merely exchanged looks with Ben without uttering a word.

They checked on his wounds and asked a few questions before leaving.

Farra sent them out gratefully. “Thanks a lot, from the bottom of my heart, Dr. Roffe.”

He chuckled. “Don’t worry. With both of them here, it’s more than 80% confirmed that Mr. Ludwig will return to his

normal self before the accident, and his future won’t be affected.”

“He will still be able to start a family, right?” Farra asked again.

“Yes. There won’t be any problems with that.”

With that, he walked away with a smile on his face. However, Jean had a feeling that he was looking at her when he

was speaking to Farra, and she found his expression rather odd.

Meanwhile, Farra was over the moon. “I’m going to tell your dad about this. You have such great luck! It’s such a

coincidence that both these doctors are here.”

Yeah. What a coincidence, Jean thought.

At this moment, her phone vibrated, making her jump. She shot a glance at Ben, who did not seem to notice as he

was slightly tired.

“Take a rest. I’m going out for a while.”

He nodded. It was likely that the tranquilizing effects had not yet worn off, so he lied down after a yawn.

Jean slowly walked out of the ward and closed the door.

However, Ben immediately opened his eyes and took out his phone from under his pillow to call Sonny, who was

excited to talk to him.

“I was about to call you, Ben. Take good care of yourself. You don’t have to worry about our funding anymore,

because I’ve already gotten the sponsorship. It’s from a food company that’s pretty well-known. ”

“At this time?” Ben’s gaze darkened, but he did not ask the questions in his mind.

After putting down his phone, he slowly sighed.

I need to get better soon; I don’t want to be useless, and I need to protect Jean.
