Chapter 396 No Use in Feeling It Out

She listened and didn’t say anything. Nathan swallowed. He didn’t know if he should continue. If he said too much, it would arouse Jean’s suspicion.

“Which hospital is he in?” Jean tried to calm down and opened a navigation app on her cell phone. “… Grace Hospital.”

Nathan heard the voice from the navigation app. Jean said, “There’s no use in panicking now. Drive safe. Let’s talk about it at the hospital.”

“Alright. Okay!” Nathan said. He wasn’t as nervous as he had been. It would be alright as long as Jean believed him. Otherwise, he didn’t know how to report back to Edgar.

But Nathan didn’t know if Jean would believe him so easily. She was a bright and calm woman. Could it be that concern would lead to confusion?

Nathan felt bad. He silently apologized to Jean and hoped that she wouldn’t blame him when she found out the truth someday.

“He’s on the fifth floor. You can head up first. I need to call Miles,” Nathan frantically said after he parked the car. Jean didn’t suspect anything. She nodded and got out of the car.

Nathan sat in the car and let out a deep sigh of relief. He felt terrible lying to others.

He had just taken out his cell phone and was about to inform Edgar that Jean was heading upstairs when he saw a headline on his news feed that made his hair rise. He clicked into it.

Nathan let out a sigh. “Oh no. It’s getting worse.” In the hospital, Jean arrived on the fifth floor. She headed to Edgar’s room after finding out his room number.

There were no assistants or bodyguards. There was even defeat in the air of the hospital corridor. She knocked on the door, but there was no response.

She opened the door and saw the man’s back facing her as he lay on the hospital bed. “I don’t need anything. Get out.” His voice was frighteningly hoarse, and there was an intense rage.

In the past, Jean would never have imagined that Edgar would be in such a state, but there was a traitor in the Royden Group, and it was his biological relative, Uncle Edbert. No matter how much defense Edgar had in place, could he have defended against a trusted person colluding with others inside and outside the company?

Furthermore, Andy worked fast. If something happened to Royden Group, maybe…
