Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 140

Chapter 140 Quick-witted Reaction

“Where were you last night?” Ben was genuinely worried about her safety.

Jean merely remained silent, not knowing what to reply.

She helped him back into the ward with a nurse and diverted the topic in a low voice.

“Was the operation successful?”

The nurse replied with a smile, “Yes. Both Dr. Roffe and Dr. Bailey said that he is recovery well. If there are no other complications, he can be discharged by the end of this month.

Upon hearing that, Ben looked at Jean as though he was a little kid waiting to be praised. Holding her hand, he asked, “How about that?”

The smile on his face was a beam of light that shone into her dim world.

Influenced by him, her lips could not help twitching into a smile, and she felt as though she had temporarily escaped from the events the night before.

“Good job.”

Ben grinned and clenched his hands around hers, wrapping her slightly cool fingers into his palm.

Meanwhile, Ally stood still by the door, being completely ignored by them.

Gritting her teeth, she forced a smile. “Ben, I brought you some desserts from Gemma’s Pastries. Give it a try. I queued up specially for this – I heard that it’s very delicious. By the way, I heard that your racing team needs some funds. My dad has a friend involved in the industry, and I’ve already

discussed it with him. If you need it, you can just give him a call and sign the contract after you are discharged.”

There was a smug smile on her face when she finished speaking.

I will let everyone know that Jean is no match for me. I can bring a lot of resources and contacts for Ben, but Jean only has a pretty face. On top of that, she has an embarrassing history. What does she have to compete with me?

The more she thought about this, the smugger she was. At this point, she did not even bother to hide her mocking expression.

“Who told you that my team needed funding?” Ben frowned.

“It’s reported in the news. After the accident, your racing team could no longer be sustained, and your manager is currently soliciting funds from others.”

Ben shot a glance at Jean, who remained quiet.

Nevertheless, Ally continued speaking. “Also, I heard from my dad that Ludwig Group is also facing some difficulties. I don’t think your dad is going to support your team any further.”
