Chapter 281 Undeserved Gentleness

When Edgar arrived at the hospital, Jean had already changed into her casual clothes and was sitting in the ward gazing at the scenery while waiting for him.

Edgar opened the door to see Jean looking tranquil and gentle with her hair hanging down. As the breeze ruffled her hair, the image of her closing her eyes and feeling the wind was imprinted in Edgar’s mind.

Edgar tightened his grip on the handle, and his heart sank. “Why didn’t you wait for me to help you pack?”

His eyes were tinged with worry, not only because of Jean’s health condition, but also because she could regain her memory at any time. Perhaps that was why she refused to let him accompany her last night.

“Hey, Edgar!” Jean turned around and walked over gleefully to hold Edgar’s arm. “I can pack on my own. I didn’t want to worry you, so I’ve completed the discharge procedure. Let’s go.”

Edgar hesitated for a while and stared fixedly at her. “What’s wrong?” Jean batted her eyes in confusion. “Is anything wrong with me?”

Moments later, Edgar mumbled, “Nothing, Let’s go.” “Okay. Let’s go home.” Holding Edgar’s arm, Jean could feel his muscles remain stiff.

The moment they got into the car, Jean drew close to Edgar and asked, “Why did you look so anxious just now? Is it because you’re cheating on me and you’re worried that I’ll find out?”

Edgar’s pupils dilated as he became tongue-tied.

“I’m just kidding. I know you dislike behaving in an intimate manner. I’ll be more alert when we go out next time. Let’s go. I can’t wait to get home.”

Edgar suppressed his emotions and continued to stare at Jean for a while, as if he was trying to confirm something. Later, he uttered slowly, “You think I dislike being intimate with you?”

Jean hummed in response and said in a calm tone, “Otherwise, why would you go on a business trip right after we got married? They said you did so to avoid me.”

Her tone was so calm that it was as if she was talking about other people’s matters.

“But don’t worry, Edgar, I’m willing to wait for you. No matter how long, or how far, I’ll…”
