Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 181 I Can’t Leave

The rain grew heavier. Thus, the cars before them slowed down and turned on the emergency lights. Jean turned to see Edgar driving stubbornly and said, “Why don’t you stop the car at the temporary parking spot in front? I’ll dive.”

She did not say that out of concern for his life. Naturally, he was worried about her safety. Still, Edgar replied stubbornly, “No.”

Jean sighed and kept observing the car in front of them. “Please keep your distance from the car in front!” However, Edgar did not seem to hear her. Instead of slowing down, he sped up and caused the car to overtake the car before them.

Jean gripped her seatbelt tightly as Edgar sped and drove recklessly. After a heart-stopping journey through the heavy rain, they finally arrived at the villa.

Jean could no longer hold back her anger when the car reached the front door.

“Do you know how dangerous that was? You know you can’t drive in this weather! Why do you insist on forcing yourself?”

Her heart surged with fury. She slammed the car door and headed into the villa without a backward glance.

Susan was relieved to see that Jean had arrived safely. “The weather is terrible. I was worried that something happened to you on the road.”

Jean forced a smile.

But even after the dinner was served, Edgar still did not enter the villa.

Jean grumbled and went outside to find his car’s headlights still on. She finally realized something was wrong.

“Susan, can you give me a hand?”

Edgar had fainted in the car. His brows furrowed tight, and his hands and forehead were covered with cold sweat.

By the time the doctor arrived at the villa, Edgar had laid there as if asleep.

“How long has Mr. Royden been in this state?”

“Around half an hour.” Susan answered before asking worriedly, “Is it serious?”

“This…” The doctor shook his head. “It’s hard to be sure. We can only confirm once he undergoes a full check-up at the hospital.”

Jean observed emotionlessly at the side. Once the doctor prescribed medicine and left, Jean planned to leave too.

“Ms. Eyer, are you going to leave like this?” Susan called after her.

“It is pointless for me to stay here. Furthermore, he should be alright.” Jean put on her jacket as she spoke.
