Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Conflict Between Two Men

Never get pregnant again… This was something most women wouldn’t be able to accept. The debt between them had indeed been erased. But why did he not feel a single glimmer of happiness? In fact, he felt a huge sense of heaviness.

Edgar Royden paused outside the room, then turned and left the hospital. He sat in his car, but his mind kept wandering.

The driver, Mr. Hughes, glanced in the rearview mirror and said, “Mr. Royden, I’ve paid for a month’s hospitalization and medical fees for Ms. Eyer. I’ve also told the nurse to contact me any time if additional payment is needed.”

“Mm.” Edgar Royden answered in an aloof manner while gazing out the window. He happened to see Gigi Reece storming out furiously from the hospital wearing a large pair of sunglasses.

“Mr. Royden, it’s Ms. Reece. Should we give her a ride?” The driver asked. “It’s fine.” Edgar Royden was annoyed thinking about Gigi Reece’s smugness in the hospital room.

Although she was his childhood rescuer and he made his choice, he had no real interest in Gigi Reece after spending time together.

Her materialistic airs and graces were inadvertently overpowered by Jean Eyer’s elegance and refinement.

“To the office.” Edgar Royden ordered.

“Yes, Mr. Royden.”

After Gigi Reece left, the hospital room finally quietened down.

Jean Eyer was deep in thought when she recalled the confrontation that just happened.

The only possibility was that Gigi Reece lied, and Edgar Royden mistook his rescuer.

Good things come to those who wait. She could only imagine Edgar Royden’s expression once he found out the truth.

At this point, a sense of gleeful revenge sparked in Jean Eyer’s heart. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

…

For the next three days, she locked herself in the hospital room. Occasionally she would gaze out the window.

While seeing nurses push babies around, Jean Eyer would touch her lower abdomen from time to time to feel for the life that once existed.

Gigi Reece didn’t disturb her for the three days, while Edgar Royden was nowhere to be seen. Jean Eyer had rare alone time to herself.

That was until the nurse knocked on her door saying, “Ms. Eyer, there’s a Mr. Ludwig here to see you.”

Other than Ben Ludwig, Jean Eyer couldn’t think of any other Mr. Ludwig she knew.

But Mrs. Ludwig’s humiliation at the café a few days ago was still playing in her mind.

Jean Eyer sat by the window and said apathetically, “I don’t want to see him. Tell him to go home.”

The nurse expressed Jean’s wishes, but Ben Ludwig wasn’t giving up and kept knocking. “Jean Eyer, I just found out about my mom coming to see you. I swear I didn’t know about it. I apologize on her behalf if she did something out of line. Please open the door so we can talk?”

He had just finished an out-of-state race and rushed to the hospital with a bouquet of roses once he stepped off the plane.

There was no sound from the room.

“Jean Eyer! I know you’re angry. I promise I won’t let my mom disturb you again!”

Dressed in a racing outfit looking suave, Ben Ludwig caught the eye of the hospital nurse.

The nurse couldn’t help but remind him, “Sir, Ms. Eyer is still recovering from her miscarriage. Could you please lower down your voice?”

“Miscarriage?”

Ben Ludwig was stunned and swore, “Shit!”

Other than Edgar Royden, who else could the child have belonged to?

He threw the bouquet at the reception and rushed off to get back at Edgar Royden. Before he even took three steps, he bumped into Edgar Royden, who was coming out of the elevator.
