Edgar And His Destined Wife Chapter 454

Meanwhile, the emergency treatment for Jean had ended.
After making sure that there were no remaining toxic chemicals in her stomach, the doctor showed Edgar the report results.
“It’s a chemical normally used to make the victim lose consciousness.It won’t affect her; by the way, she’s pregnant.”
“Are you sure?”
Edgar could hardly hide the joy he felt.
At that moment, all he wanted was to hold Jean close to him.
“Yes, but I suggest doing a thorough check-up at the gynecologist.It’s still in the early stage.You have to take note of her emotions and physical condition’ The doctor gave him a few more pointers and went downstairs with Miles to get the payment done.
Standing right next to the bed, warmth slowly diffused in Edgar’s gaze, which gradually became gentler.
He looked at her sleeping figure and stretched out his hand.
Before reaching her, he froze mid-air because Charles and Sara barged into the room.
More critically, they had weapons in their hands — Sara was holding a modified military knife.
“You’re Edgar, aren’t you?”
She appraised him, not making any attempt to hide her approval.
“Charles, you weren’t lying — he really is good-looking.”
As soon as Charles ensured no one else was in the room, he put his weapons away and extended his hand to Edgar.
“Mr.Royden, we finally met.”
“You should be having dinner with people from Pinnacle Group right now.”
Edgar knew Edbert’s usual plan.
Now that Edbert had gained the upper hand, he would make full use of it by leaving a good impression on Bernard.
“He was, but we left as soon as Charles received your message.”
Sara smiled brightly at him.
“We came all the way here for you, you know.Since she’s fine now, let’s go.I’m hungry!”

She took a few steps forward, wanting to grab him, but he deftly avoided her.
Unable to touch him, Sara tried again, but the result remained the same.She couldn’t even feel his shirt.
Feeling dejected, she stomped on the ground.
“I just want to be friends with you”
Edgar glanced at her coldly.
“I’m married”
The words completely destroyed her fantasies about him.
“Aren’t you divor-”
Charles placed his hands on her shoulders and warned her in a low voice, “We have some things to discuss.Can you give us some space? I’ll send you home if you don’t do as I say”
Sara pouted and exited the room unwillingly.
Then, she stood by the door, muttering to herself, “I would have come for nothing if they reconciled!”
She stood on tiptoes and peered through the windows at them bitterly.
Meanwhile, in the room, Charles asked directly, “Was she injected with that?”
“No.It’s just a drug to make her pass out.”
Edgar did not hide anything from him.
Since he had decided to work with the Rothschild family, he would be honest with them.
Charles frowned.
“In that case, I can’t help much: With that, he shrugged and sat down on the couch.No matter how powerful the Rothschild family was, their power did not extend here.If this had happened back in his country, he could punish the perpetrators in many ways the law couldn’t.Right now, however, he could do nothing about it.A look of coldness appeared on Edgar’s face.
“If you’d like to help, I have something for you.”
Charles turned around and looked at him.
As a fellow man, he could feel the suppressed anger within Edgar.He knew Edgar was quietly plotting the final blow to his opponent.
“I came all the way for this.How can I help?”
He smiled with interest.
After hearing Edgar’s idea, his eyes lit up.
“No wonder they are teaming up against you.You are smart.”
“In return, you will own ten percent of the gold mine; Edgar explained slowly without hesitation.It was a tempting offer to Rothschild Group since that was their primary industry.Without further consideration, Charles nodded.
“I look forward to working with you.”
“Thanks.”
They shook hands.
Charles narrowed his eyes at Jean.
“You still don’t want to let her know you once contacted me?”
“Yes.I hope you can keep it a secret”
Edgar’s reply was instant and firm.He didn’t want Jean to know what he had done for her.
“Got it”
Charles smiled meaningfully.
“You guys love each other.Why did you break up?”
Edgar’s hand froze mid-air.
“I let her down.It’s only now that I regret it, but it’s difficult to undo what I’ve done” he explained.
There was a pause in their conversation.
