Chapter 456

Jean pursed her lips long before replying, “I don’t need anything.”

She had been sleeping for the entire day and hadn’t drank any water since waking up.

Hence, her voice was hoarse, and her pale face accentuated her weakness.

Edgar frowned icily.

The comforting words in his mind were stuck in his throat as he knew full well that he could not make up for her sadness.

“I know that this is a good outcome.I don’t have to continue my lie.We don’t owe each other anything after this, and I won’t be obstructing you from any potential relationships with other women.”

With that, tears streamed down her face helplessly.It broke Edgar’s heart to see her like that.

“All you need is rest now.I’ll ask Susan to send some soup over — just wait a bit.”

He quickly walked away after that.

Jean heaved a sigh.

When doctors or nurses checked on her, she vehemently refused to do any further check-ups.

Everyone thought it was because of grief.

Sara was the only one who occasionally looked at her with a conflicted expression.

However, whenever Jean was free, she would message Sara about how happy she was, slowly alleviating Sara’s guilt.
