Chapter 199 Not Everyone Can Be a Mother
Gigi was confident that Jean had gotten the contract by selling her body. She was a woman too. She knew too well how fast such benefits come. Jean could sense provocation in Gigi’s eyes.
“You don’t have to be so polite to me. You are Edgar’s future business partner, so you are my friend as well. I hope we can get along well in future.” Jean almost burst out in laughter. How could the both of them get along with each other?
Moreover, Jean could not be bothered at all! “I don’t think that is necessary, Ms. Reece. I don’t need any help.” Jean walked past Gigi. “I reckon that Mr. Royden need not have my care anymore.”
The man frowned. Just as he was about to refute her, Gigi stepped forward. “Edgar got hurt because of you… Are you going to leave just like that?”
She fluttered her eyelashes and continued, “But you have always been mean. The Ludwig family are in chaos now too because of you.”
Edgar glared at Gigi to stop her from talking. But Jean stepped in front of Gigi and clutched her hand. “What happened to the Ludwig family?”
“Ben had a huge row with his father because of you. His father had a heart attack during the fight. He almost lost his life on the way to the hospital.”
Gigi raised her eyebrows and pretended as if Jean had pulled her close, whispered into Jean’s ear.
“Edgar was hurt because of you. The Ludwig family has no peace because of you. I will be too embarrassed to stay in this city if I were you.”
“Yet you still have the face to collaborate with Edgar as his ex-wife.”
“Jean, wake up.”
Then, Gigi suddenly fell backwards.
“Ah!”
Gigi fell onto the ground as if Jean was the one who pushed her down.
“My child…”
She shouted in panic. She stared at Jean with misty eyes, as if accusing Jean silently.
Susan was shocked. She hurried over to help Gigi up, but she kept screaming, saying that she was in pain.
Cold sweat broke on her forehead. She did not seem like she was acting. Her acting skill was not this good.
Jean stood there in place. She slowly clutched her fists.
Gigi was determined to act this out properly.
She had wanted to keep her child but…
Jean watched Edgar rush to Gigi as fast as lighting. His elbow did not seem to be hurt at all. He could move freely too.
He frowned and ordered Susan solemnly. “Get the car and send her to the hospital.”
“Edgar, I’m scared. Will our child be safe?”
Gigi sweated profusely in pain.
Perhaps it was because she felt helpless, or perhaps it was fear. She gripped onto Edgar’s shirt tightly. It was worrying.
“Oh no! Ms. Reece is bleeding.” Susan saw blood oozing out of Gigi’s dress as soon as she called the driver in.
“Edgar…”
Edgar could not bother about anything else anymore. He ordered fiercely, “Susan, watch over her.”
Then he picked Gigi up in his arms and walked out.
The sound of his car engine was heard. Soon, it was gone in a hurry.
Jean stood in place. Her face was pale. She lowered her head and looked at her fingers, then at the pool of blood on the ground.
Susan thought she was shocked, and quickly comforted Jean. “Ms. Reece had bled before. The doctor told her to have more rest at home. What happened earlier on must had been an accident. Don’t take it to heart.”
Susan believed that Jean would never do such a thing.
Even if she had been a bit more forceful, she must not have meant to push her.
Jean lowered her voice and asked softly, “How can a person like her be a mother?”
Her voice was too soft to be audible for Susan.
Before she could ask Jean, she had already run out of the villa.
“Sigh…”
Susan went to chase after Jean, but stopped after a few steps with a sigh.
“Wrong. This is all wrong.”
…
In the hospital.
Edgar’s face became uglier as he listened to the gynecologist’s diagnosis.
“If this keeps happening, the child will be in danger. You must be more careful. Take good care of the mother’s emotions and body…”
The doctor gave more advice.
After Miles settles the papers, he came to Edgar. “Mr. Royden, I saw Ms. Eyer outside of the hospital just now.”
In the past, whenever Edgar heard about Jean, he would have a reaction.
But today, he frowned and headed straight toward Gigi’s ward.
Miles followed. He could sense that something was wrong, but he didn’t know what.
Jean did not wait long outside the ward when she saw Winnie Campbell rushing over with a maid.
“Quick. Go have a look at Gigi. See how she’s doing.” Winnie was sweating from the run. Just as she was about to take a rest, she saw Jean.
Winnie was shocked. “You…”
She glanced around her, then pulled Jean to a side.
“You are crazy. After provoking the Sans, you bully Gigi. Her father will never let you off this time. You better come up with a solution as soon as possible.”
But Jean did not respond to Winnie’s warning.
“I’m telling you this because of the relationship between your father and I in the past. Don’t think you can try your luck every time!”
In the past, Edgar wouldn’t do anything to Jean.
But this time, Jean had pushed Gigi before his eyes, and hurt her child.
Any man would not be able to take that.
When Jean heard this, the look on her face changed.
“You had a child too before you were with my dad, am I right?”
Jean spoke confidently. She had been looking into Winnie for quite some time. The information she got couldn’t be wrong.
Winnie widened her eyes. “No!”
But Jean did not continue to talk nonsense to her. She approached Winnie one step at a time. Her eyes were cold.
She spoke coldly. “Children are a gift from God. Many people want to become parents but can’t. Tell Gigi that she shouldn’t use a child as a bargaining chip.”
Winnie was frightened by Jean.
She took a few steps back.
“You were the one who tried to hurt the child in Gigi. Why are you saying this?”
Just as she finished speaking, Winnie suddenly realized something.
“Did Gigi herself…”
Coldness spread in Jean’s eyes. “If I really wanted to hurt her child, she would have had a miscarriage a long time ago.”
She wouldn’t use these type of despicable and shameless methods.
But she would never let anyone bully her!
Winnie looked at Jean, frightened. “I… I understand. I will tell Gigi that.”
Jean looked like a Grim Reaper from hell. She was frightening.
