Chapter 457

"You don't have to take care of me because of the baby.You have nothing to do with it anyway."

Jean slowly lifted her head to look at Edgar.

"So please stop looking at me with sympathy in your eyes."

He frowned and sat in a chair.

"Susan is going to make you some porridge in the evening.She will send it over.I'll have to go to the office in a bit.Perhaps I can't fetch you after you are discharged."

Jean closed her eyes, and a tear silently fell down her cheek.

"Edgar, are you deaf? I've already made myself clear enough, yet you still don't understand! You don't need to care for me because of the baby - it's not yours, get it?"

She was clearly challenging his boundaries and dignity.

Yet, there was no change in his expression.

"I know you well — I'm sure I'm the father."

He had never once suspected the possibility.

Over the days, he couldn't think of anything else apart from worrying about her.

"Be it the relationship with Pinnacle Group or the collaboration with the Rothschild family, they are nothing compared to you."

Jean pursed her lips quietly.

He sat by the bed and kept her company for a long time.

Finally, he suppressed his anxiety and got up.

"I'm leaving now.Rest well."

After hearing a flurry of footsteps and the door closing, his figure disappeared around the corner.

Jean could no longer hold her emotions back anymore.She put her guard down and spent the rest of the day wallowing in her thoughts, touching her belly underneath the sheets.
