Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 216

Chapter 216 Regret What Happened in the Past

Susan came out and saw Edgar outside. “Mr. Royden… you heard it all?” Susan was upset at herself. If she hadn’t said all that it wouldn’t have invoked disgust in Jean.

She had done it with good intentions and wanted to act as matchmaker, so that the both of them could reconcile. Or at the very least, they wouldn’t hate each other so much.

Edgar looked away, and his tone was aloof. “Take care of yourself. Don’t think about other things.” Susan nodded. Other than herself, Edgar was the only other person who knew her condition the best.

Susan let out a breath silently. At her age, she was indifferent about life and death. That night, Jean was about to sleep when she was called to the study room by Edgar. He made her type out documents.

She frowned. “Mr. Royden, these are project proposals from Royden Group. It’s not appropriate for an outsider like me to type it out.”

She didn’t want to be criticized by others in the future. Moreover, it would be the wee hours in the morning when she was done with it. The man looked up at her. He didn’t say anything, but his sharp expression conveyed his meaning.

Jean flattened her lips and sat down, frustrated. After two hours, her eyelids were putting up a fight. “Go on.” Edgar tossed another file in front of her.

Jean was dizzy and her vision was blurred. When she took it, she almost overturned the cup of tea on the desk. At that moment, the sound of shattering pieces suddenly came from outside the door.

“It’s not me.” Edgar immediately stood up and went in the direction of the living room. Jean chased after him only to find Susan, unconscious, beside the couch. “Get the driver, we’re going to the hospital!”

“Okay.” Jean could see for herself the worry on Edgar’s face. He picked Susan up and took big strides out the door. Jean’s heart tightened as she followed hurriedly.

The hospital corridors in the early morning were very quiet. The light in the operating room was on. Jean curled up on a bench while Edgar sat across from her. Their eyes met but they said nothing.

What Susan said to her in the afternoon rang in her ears. Edgar wasn’t born devoid of emotion. He was forced to become like this by the circumstances of life.

Jean put her head down.

It seemed like she had never investigated why Edgar treated the Eyer family as enemies.

What was the resentment they kept mentioning…?

Bang.

Susan lay on a hospital bed as she was pushed out by doctors.

Since it was a patient Edgar brought in, the primary surgeon was the vice hospital director who was on duty that night.

“Mr. Royden, let’s talk in my office.” The doctor’s face was frozen with worry.

It was as if Edgar had already anticipated that outcome. He followed with no emotion on his face.
