My Ex-wife's Hidden Personalities

Chapter 417 Coercion

Freya examined the medicine in her hand, her voice cold and indifferent when she spoke, “Since that’s the case, why did you come to me?”

Jamie had dropped by with fury in his heart. So, when he noticed her demeanor, he sneered. “It seems like I need to find two new a*sistants for Miss Kaufmann.”

She turned to face him, responding resolutely, “I don’t need a*sistants.”

Felix and Tyler were despicable men who deserved their fate, but she didn’t want anyone. else to fall into Jamie’s hands.

Jamie’s tone turned dangerous as he snarled, “When Felix died, he said you asked him for Icy. Sea’s formula. What are you planning, Freya? Why can’t you just stay here and help Edward with his treatment?”

She held a tray in her hand and shot Jamie a cold glance.

Then, she promptly ignored his words and left the office.

To her surprise, she noticed that Jamie was still in the office after she had administered an injection to Edward.

She frowned and entered, pretending as if there was no one in the room. Jamie was sitting there organizing documents. In the past two days, Edward’s condition had been slowly deteriorating, and her mood had become increasingly heavy.

If this trend continued, Edward could only live for another three months at most. Even if she tried her best to delay his symptoms, his life expectancy wouldn’t last for more than half a

year.

Most importantly, the only option left was chemotherapy, which was extremely painful.

So, she could only choose to try her best to delay such an agonizing option, even if it was just one more day.

By the time she craned her neck to look away from her research, Jamie was no longer in the

office.

She couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Edward asked the maid to call Jamie to the ward at 3 p.m.

Once Jamie entered the ward, he sat at the bedside and asked, “You asked the maid to call me. Is there something you need?”

Edward had propped himself up for the conversation. Unfortunately, that didn’t diminish the fact that he looked thin and frail. “Jamie, Frey has been so busy treating me recently. I want to thank her by inviting her to dinner. Let’s do it while my body is still capable of something like this.”

Jamie frowned in displeasure. “What are you talking about? You will definitely get better.”

Edward smiled bitterly. He was well aware of his own health. Recently, everything he ate under Freya’s supervision would come back up, and he had even started vomiting blood.

His time was running out.

Edward looked at Jamie. “Please, let’s just have a meal together, Jamie. I want to invite her to dinner. Can’t you just grant me this one wish?”
