Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 308 Undeniable Truth

He had assumed Jean had set aside what had happened and forgiven them. He was surprised that she was still holding a grudge. He headed towards where she was with Paul in tow. “Don’t worry about it. She can’t have gotten far. She probably hasn’t arrived yet.”

“That place has stayed abandoned ever since the accident. We spread rumors of it being haunted just to prevent anyone from prodding further. It successfully deterred all the other children, except for Jean.”

“That’s life though, isn’t it?” The sky darkened as they drove. It didn’t take long for darkness to descend upon them. Paul suddenly saw a silhouette on the side of the road.

“There!” They drove over to see that it was Jean sitting on the pavement in a daze. “My child, are you okay?” Paul called out as he hobbled over. “Let’s go back.” Jean looked up at him with eyes full of grief.

Her fingers were scratched up and stained with blood. As if she had dug with her bare fingers for hours. She gripped half of a jade pendant tightly in her hand. It was the other half of the pendant that Gigi used to trick Edgar with.

It turned out that the pendant always had two pieces. It took coming to that place for Jean to remember that her father had brought her here when she was young and buried that jade pendant himself.

“Jean, you have a sister! You should help your parents to find her.” But Jean couldn’t believe that Gigi was her sister! What happened in the Reece family? What sort of unspeakable things had Sam done?

Jean did not say a word while Paul took her home. She had dinner and went to bed without a sound. Three days had passed when Jean left a note and returned to the city.

Because something had happened to Gigi. Jean arrived at the hospital to find it packed with reporters. “Gigi almost strangled her own son to death! Do you think she’s suffering from postpartum depression?”

“Impossible! I bet it’s because she’s afraid that he’ll affect her rise to stardom. I heard that she received all sorts of endorsements and movie role offers because of her relationship with Edgar after she gave birth. And she agreed to them!”

“She wouldn’t have had a chance with the Roydens if it weren’t for that son of hers.” The reporters huddled together and shared speculations.

Jean pulled the brim of her cap lower to cover her face. She attempted to walk past them into the hospital, but it was so crowded that she couldn’t even get through into the foyer. “Jean?”

Winnie and the nanny bumped into Jean when they emerged from the side gate. Both of them were avoiding the reporters as well. “Where is Gigi?” She wasn’t sure if she could even help Gigi, but she had to try so long as there was a slight chance she could.

Winnie was shocked. She was hesitant. “I’m sure you’ve seen the news. Everyone’s making wild assumptions and saying hurtful things about her. I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to see her now.”

Jean frowned as she glanced at the main entrance.

“I’m here to help.”
