Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 142 First Time in His Life

Jean found a quiet spot in the hospital corridor and called Miles. The call quickly connected. “Yes, Ms. Eyer?”

“Where is he now?”

“He’s having a meal with one of our partners, at–”

“Send me the location.” With that, Jean hung up and hurried to the elevator. On the other hand, both Edgar and Nathan were at the meal. Miles quickly walked into the room to report to Edgar that Jean was on her way here.

As soon as Nathan heard her name, he quickly signaled to Edgar that it was okay for the latter to leave. ‘I will take care of everything here’ was what he was saying with his expression.

Hence, he got up and left with a tinge of coldness in his eyes. Throughout his entire life, he had never waited for anyone, let alone for a woman.

Pacing around the lobby, he walked up and down the staircase as he fumbled with his buttons. There was only one thought in his mind. What is she here for? To reject my good intentions, or…

The hotel door was automatic. Every time it opened, he would look at the door, until Jean finally arrived. He quickly put his coffee down and looked at her, waiting for her to walk toward him.

Even though he knew very well that she was here on another man’s behalf, he could not hide his growing emotions. Appraising her expression, he spoke. “Take a seat.”

Jean’s gaze was frosty. After looking at him for a while, she finally asked, “What do you want?”

There was no trace of gratitude in her tone. He frowned. “I–”

“If you are planning to frame Ben and hurt him in the operation room, I will never forgive you,” she said darkly, not expecting Edgar to stoop this low.

She looked at him intently to decipher every reaction of his. “Do I need to do that?” He leaned backward with a cold look in his eyes, having no intentions to explain himself. Jean let out a cold snort. “You are so scheming. What else will you not bring yourself to do?”

Didn’t he bribe Mr. Hoffer yesterday to make me come here? He’s a hypocrite. She was furious and hated the fact that she was once his wife.

“I don’t have any malicious intentions.” He placed a name card on the table. “This is the World Medical Association’s phone number; you can go ahead and give them a call to check if the two orthopedic specialists are qualified or not. I just… want to help you.”
