Chapter 108 The Patient’s Family
Gigi’s eyes were filled with panic. “Don’t you dare make baseless accusations. I am loyal to Edgar. It is you who keeps seducing him.” Gigi pointed at the tip of Jean’s nose and scolded her.
However, Jean’s smile deepened. She was considering how she should play her cards to make Edgar furious. “You are not allowed to smile!”
Gigi rushed over to hit Jean. But Jean dodged her this time. “You b*tch…”
Gigi refused to give up and pulled Jean’s hair. As Gigi screamed in a fury. Linda quickly grabbed hold of her and said, “Gigi, stop hitting her. The director is calling you. You have finally gotten this opportunity, so don’t let her spoil your chance.”
Linda kept persuading Gigi and finally managed to pull her away. After they left, the bodyguards exchanged glances and locked Jean in the car before leaving too.
Jean sat slumped in the car and breathed a few times deeply to calm down. After Gigi left, Jean was left forgotten in the car for a long time. By evening, no one came to unlock the door for her.
Jean considered calling for help, but Gigi had taken her phone. Furthermore, there was hardly anyone in the car park. Even if someone heard her, they would ignore her out of fear for Gigi.
Thus, Jean decided to save her energy. The car park was quiet at night until…
Gigi leaned against Edgar’s arm as they walked shoulder to shoulder and said coyly, “I’m exhausted from modeling for the whole day. Can I stay at your place tonight?”
She looked up at Edgar and continued, “I have more photo sessions early tomorrow morning. My house is too far, and your place is much closer to the studio.”
Jean did not wish to listen to their conversation, but Gigi’s shrill voice spread throughout the empty car park.
Jean leaned against the window and looked outside.
She saw Edgar standing with his back facing the car and was even holding Gigi’s bag for her.
At that moment, Jean felt Edgar and Gigi were made for each other. One of them is cruel, while the other is rotten.
“Pretty please.” Gigi deliberately leaned even closer to Edgar.
She had thought things through. Even if Edgar had done something with Jean, it was only because Jean offered herself. Why would Edgar be interested in Jean’s skinny and sickly body?
I’m pregnant, so I have to be careful.
But if Edgar wants to do it, I’m more than happy to satisfy his desires.
With this thought in mind, Gigi flirted with Edgar even more daringly. She pressed her chest to his body.
“Sure.” Edgar grabbed her hand and stopped it from moving down any further. His eyes were cold and void of any desire.
“Edgar… You’re the best.” Although Gigi got to stay with Edgar, he did not touch her.
She forced a smile and glanced toward the MPV.
Edgar noticed her looking at it and asked in his deep voice, “Is your car parked there?”
Gigi grunted in affirmation and clung to his arm, distracting him from looking at the car. “The driver will come and get the car tomorrow. It’s late, we should go.”
Edgar nodded and did not ask any more questions. They soon got into his car and left.
Jean bit her lower lip as she listened to Edgar’s car traveling away.
“Hmph…”
He would rather be a woman who cheated on him.
Jean was tired, and the memories surging in her mind made her feel sick. She leaned against the side and planned to take a nap.
However, she had just closed her eyes when someone pulled open the door.
It was a few muscular men, and they were all looking at her. Jean watched them warily and knew they were the men Gigi had asked her lover to send over.
Their leader had a layered hairstyle and wore sunglasses.
Jean could not see his face clearly under the dim light, but strangely, she felt she had met him before.
“Don’t get too rough. Strip her now and take photos.”
The men immediately reached for Jean at his words.
“No! Get off me!’
Jean screamed and fought them with all her might.
Yet, she was unable to break free of their grip. She immediately bit one of the men’s arms.
“B*tch.”
The man slapped Jean. He was much stronger than Gigi and sent Jean falling to the other side, causing her to scratch her neck against the iron rod beside the car.
Blood flowed from her wound.
Jean ran out of energy to move and could not even scream in pain.
“Evan, what should we do?”
The man spat. He was about to answer when he heard a few cars coming their way.
Judging from the noise, they were sports cars.
Jean’s mind gradually became clearer. She forced herself to open her eyes and saw a blurry figure coming toward her. She smiled and said, “Ben.”
She tried to raise her hand but found she had no energy.
“It hurts a bit…” Jean forced out those few words from her parched lips before losing consciousness.
Ben carried her to the car and sped to a hospital.
…
When Jean opened her eyes again, she found herself looking at white curtains and walls.
At the same time, she could hear the gentle beeping noise of medical monitoring instruments.
“Miss, why is she still not awake? Didn’t the doctor say she would wake up from the effects of anesthesia soon?” Ben grabbed a nurse and asked urgently.
“Every patient is different and reacts differently to anesthesia. The patient’s vitals are fine, so don’t worry. She will wake up soon.”
“But…”
“Ben, I’m hungry…” Jean’s voice was hoarse.
Ben rushed to her immediately. “You’re awake. How are you feeling?”
He frowned and looked worried.
Jean moved her lips slowly and formed what was likely the ugliest smile in her life. “I’m hungry.”
Ben replied immediately, “Understood. I’ll get food for you now. Wait, wait for me!”
He grabbed his jacket and dashed out of the room.
The nurse saw him rushing away, so she chased after him and shouted, “The patient needs a light meal!”
When the nurse returned, she said with admiration, “Your boyfriend loves you so much. He kept staying by your side when you were unconscious and even called our hospital director here.”
Jean was dumbfounded. “He is not.”
The nurse was stunned before saying, “He’s your husband then. Both of you have a happy marriage.”
Jean was rendered speechless and gave up trying to explain.
Meanwhile, at the corridor outside the ward, Edgar asked a nurse, “Is there a patient named Jean Eyer?”
He received a report from Miles at home.
The man assigned to watch Jean found out that Ben had rushed her to the hospital. Furthermore, Jean’s condition was severe, and she remained unconscious.
I haven’t let her taste enough of my revenge. How could something have happened to her?
His tall figure blocked the corridor light, and his gaze was chilling.
The nurse was stunned for a moment before answering, “Jean Eyer is in Room 306. She has just awoken and needs rest. Her family has gone to buy food, so you can wait here for a while.”
Her family?
Edgar’s expression darkened, and he barged into the room straight away.
At this moment, Jean was sitting on her bed and planned to change her underwear.
She pulled the curtains around her bed and believed people would be polite enough to ask before coming in.
However, Edgar pulled the curtains away immediately.
Jean jumped in shock when she heard someone pulling the curtains. She immediately covered her body. When she saw who it was, she shouted furiously, “Get out!”
