Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 334

Chapter 334 Loss-making

“What?!” The Reece family, a few directors from Royden Group, and the lawyers were stunned when they heard Gigi’s request. Mr. Blanc looked toward Mr. Martin immediately. Mr. Martin pushed his glasses and explained calmly, “As Mr. Royden’s family member, Ms. Reece does have the right to ask to stop the operation.”

Winnie took a step back in silence. She knew the situation wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface. Gigi couldn’t care less about how the others perceived her announcement – all she wanted was to get Andy back. She let out a cough and hid her guilt in her beautiful eyes.

“The operation has been going on for so long, yet there’s still no news. I don’t think the doctors in this hospital are capable enough to treat Edgar. I’ll send him overseas to receive treatment.”

Andy said that Edbert was the only one left in the Royden family besides Edgar. If I request to bring Edgar to receive treatment overseas, Edbert will surely agree. After Edgar leaves this country, Royden Group will be ours. Besides, I don’t have to cover up the identity of the child anymore. After all, Andy cares for me much more than Edgar.

For the sake of her child and herself, Gigi made the choice that was the most advantageous to her.

“But Mr. Royden’s operation is still ongoing. If it is stopped halfway, there might be dire consequences. Please reconsider your decision, Ms. Reece.” Mr. Blanc knitted his brows.

“Ms. Reece?”

Gigi wore a fierce expression. “What did you call me?”

Mr. Blanc let out a cough and remained silent. After all, they were outsiders, so no one could stop Gigi if she insisted on halting the surgery.

“Inform the doctors immediately and arrange the necessary procedures.”

Meanwhile, in the operating room, Jean had put on the bandages for Edgar. Edgar was lying still on the operating table, waiting to be moved out of the operating room once it was about time.

However, while they were waiting, they received news of Gigi requesting to transfer Edgar to another hospital.

“She’s asking to transfer to another hospital at this moment?” Jean was startled with a worried look.

If Edgar was indeed in a coma, Gigi’s decision would take his life!

Edgar cast a glance at her and said in a cold voice, “Don’t worry. I’ve already asked Miles to make the necessary arrangements.”

Jean lifted her eyes and looked at Edgar in surprise. “Miles? Isn’t he still in a coma?”

“We deliberately disseminated fake news.” To confuse those who are coming after Royden Group and me.

Only then did Jean have a sudden realization that everything was part of Edgar’s scheme. He was so relentless to the extent of using himself as the bait!

“You must have lost your mind! Do you know that if anything went wrong, or if they bribed the medical staff, you could die!” If standing in front of Edgar now were some unscrupulous doctors who were bribed instead of Jean, Edgar would not be able to leave the room alive!

Jean was standing a distance away from Edgar, who was leaning against the operating table. His distinct facial features were enchanting, and he emanated a depressing yet overwhelming aura.

“Don’t worry. I have my plan.” It was as if everything was wrapped around his little finger at all times.

“You… Who said I’m worried about you?” Jean threw the medical tape in her hand onto the floor and hissed, “I don’t care about your safety at all. I can’t wait to see their plan succeed.”

Edgar’s expression turned solemn. “Do you mean it?”

Just as Jean was about to answer, she accidentally looked into Edgar’s deep-set eyes.

Pressing her lips, she remained silent. In fact, she had asked herself countless times if she really intended to seek revenge against Edgar and retrieve all that she had lost from him. However, whenever there was a chance, she conflictingly chose to minimize the harm toward the Royden Group.

As much as she didn’t want to, she had to admit that she didn’t want Edgar to die. At least, not now.

Edgar lay down on the operating table slowly and croaked, “Push me out.”

Jean frowned and remained motionless. “After I leave the hospital, wait for me at the rear door. We’ll leave together.” It was as if everything was within his control.

Jean pushed him and mumbled, “I won’t be there.”

You should be grateful enough that I didn’t expose your pretense to the others. Don’t expect me to be your caretaker for the long term!

“I’ll wait for you.” Edgar hummed while Jean was closing the door after walking out. She would doubt her ears if she didn’t have excellent hearing.

Jean wore a mask when she pushed Edgar out, and she immediately closed the door after that, so no one noticed something was off with this ‘nurse’.

Later, the nurse from the nursing station pushed Edgar back to his ward.

Gigi immediately asked the caretakers to help Edgar change.

“Ms. Reece, Mr. Royden’s surgery has just ended. Do we have to rush to the airport now?” Even the caretaker thought it was inappropriate.

Gigi sniggered, “Are you the mistress or me? Just do what you’re asked to, and don’t ask unnecessary questions!”

The caretaker did not dare to retort Gigi and clammed up instantly.

In no time, Sam rushed into the ward. “Gigi, what on earth are you doing? Do you think the situation is not complicated enough? Quickly contact your previous agency company and hold a press conference to cut ties with the Royden family.”

“No, Dad. Now is not the best timing yet.” Gigi briefly explained her plan to Sam. To be accurate, it was Andy and her plan.

Sam was staggered after hearing their scheme – little did he think that they could be this ruthless.

“Are you sure you can get rid of this fellow after sending him overseas?” An evil thought emerged in Sam’s mind as he pulled Gigi forcefully. “Remember, come back immediately after sending him to the airport, and do not leak out any information. Once the plan fails, push all the responsibilities to Andy and say that he threatened you with the child. Remember my words.”

Of course, he had to prepare a way of escape when undertaking such an evil deed, not to mention that their opponent was Edgar. If anything went wrong, the entire Reece family would be doomed.

Sam was secretly planning something. This time, I can’t make any losses anymore!

Coldness flashed through Sam’s eyes as he stared at Gigi as if he had made a decision. For the first time, he cooed Gigi gently, “Go ahead and prepare the car. You shall take a good rest after everything is over.”

The truth was Sam had his own plans after this.

Little did Gigi know that her father was planning to utilize her fully to the last bit. Sarcastically, she thought Sam was caring for her.

She smiled and answered, “Thanks, Dad, I’ll get things done.” But in fact, Andy had prepared the men and car while Gigi urged the caretaker to push Edgar to the car park. “Hurry up!”

Smoking a cigarette outside the hospital, Andy became impatient too. “Edbert is going to catch us if you waste more time. Quickly! Move him into the car.”

The caretakers exchanged glances and had no choice but to do as they were told, even though they thought Gigi’s intention didn’t seem to be sending Edgar overseas for treatment…

Nonetheless, they did not dare to spit the words of lawless deeds.

“We shall excuse ourselves first, Ms. Reece.” After moving Edgar into the car, the caretakers went back to the hospital immediately.

Gigi put on a pair of shades and said, “Don’t worry. I’ve sent some men to keep an eye on Miles and the driver. Both of them are still in a coma. I’ll hand Edgar over to you then.”

While saying that, she cast a reluctant glance at the man in the car.
