Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 125 They Won’t Pity You
Jean kept her word. For the next ten hours, other than using the toilet, she kept kneeling outside of Ben’s hospital room. She
didn’t eat either, but only sipped some water from time to time.
“Ms. Eyer, there’s no point in doing this. Mrs. Ludwig wouldn’t forgive you just because of this act.” Mr. Coleman came to advise
her. “You should just leave.”
She kept her head low, speechless. “Never mind. Just do as you like.”
Jean heard the door open. She raised her head toward the doctor and nurse exiting the room. The doctor shook his head
regretfully. “If he doesn’t wake up tomorrow morning, we will proceed with the amputation.”
Jean’s heart sank. “He can’t be amputated. How will he drive without his legs?” She mumbled. She was clearer than anyone else
that his dream was to be a world-renowned racer.
Tears streamed down her face as she touched the window and whispered, “You’ve heard it, right? It’ll be too late if you don’t
wake up.”
She continued kneeling through the night. Her legs were numb. She kept watch over the sky, not knowing the time. She prayed
that the sun would rise later and that Ben would wake up soon.
“This is meaningless. The Ludwig family won’t even pity you if you do this.”
Edgar stared at her back and smirked. “If you want to kneel, you should try to pray to God in church. That might work.”
Jean kept silent, hiding her emotions. He watched her quietly. “If he undergoes the amputation, will you really give up your life to
him?”
She turned to him slowly. “I mean what I said. Please leave if you’re here just to mock me.”
Her eyes were lifeless. Such a pained expression, just for the man lying in the room?
Edgar pressed his lips into a thin line. “If you go back on your words, I’ll bring you back to the Ludwig family at all costs.”
He turned away and left.

He didn’t leave the hospital but instead headed to the fifth floor for the surgery meeting.
Ben was hurt during the race. Two other sponsors were invited to the hospital.
“Mr. Royden, will Mr. Ludwig really have an amputation?”
“I’m acquainted with a few notable neurologists. I can invite them here for another assessment!”
Edgar’s face darkened. He hoped for the same too.
Jean’s firm expression was stuck in his mind. He clenched his fists and yelled at the doctors. “Are there no other ways? Think of
another procedure, anything else other than amputation!”
“This...”
The meeting continued for another two and a half hours. Yet they couldn’t come up with a better conclusion.
The attending physician glanced at his watch. “There is no better way. Please prepare the operating room. If we are to drag this
any further, we will miss the best window of time. Contact the family members, inform them...”
At that moment.
Jean pushed the door open. Her pale, tear-streaked face was beaming.
“He’s awake...”
The doctors hurried to Ben, checking on his condition.
Jean ran barefooted from three stories above.
She was breathless. Her limbs were shaking, and her eyes gleamed with tears.
Edgar’s heart was pained at the sight.
He strode towards her slowly. “Are you that worried about him?”
Jean was still shedding tears. Her hands quivered.
The next thing she knew, he pulled her into his arms and carried her.

“Let me go!”
“Jean, your life belongs to me. You can’t breathe your last breath without my permission.”
Has she forgotten that she was in the accident too? Although her injuries are not as bad as Ben’s, she shouldn’t neglect herself
so.
She had been kneeling for hours without a morsel of food. Even the strongest of people would be in the jaws of death.
As he carried her down, she passed out from exhaustion.
He laid her gently on the bed.
“Please examine her.”
He brought her to a floor for inpatients far away from the Ludwig family.
The doctor called Edgar to his office after the checkup. “Your wife’s body is very weak. Make sure to give her nutritious food.”
Wife?
Edgar furrowed his forehead. “We...”
“Do you have children?” The doctor pushed his glasses up his nose bridge. “If you want children, you’ll have to hurry. Her
body’s...”
Edgar went to the pharmacy with a prescription.
His face was stony as he recalled the doctor’s words. “It will be difficult for her to get pregnant. You must take care of her and be
understanding of her. Has she had a miscarriage before? That’s the root cause of her problem.”
A nurse peeked through the window. “Are you here to collect your medicine?”
He snapped out of his thoughts and passed the prescription to the nurse.
He hadn’t been that lost in his thoughts before.
The nurse handed him the medicine. “Once every meal. It’s written on the box. Come back for a follow-up next week.”

He received the box stiffly. His phone rang. It was Gigi calling.
He picked up the call, frowning.
Gigi sobbed into her phone. “Edgar, where are you? I had a nightmare. Can you come and accompany me?”
He gripped his phone. “Take care of yourself.”
He hung up the call.
Gigi gritted her teeth as the call disconnected.
She called him at that hour on purpose, thinking that he wouldn’t be able to escape with the excuse of work since he wouldn’t be
at work yet.
Yet he didn’t even bother coming up with an excuse now?
It sounds like he is at the hospital.
She frowned. “Is he there to take care of Jean?”
As the possibility popped up in her head, she couldn’t stay still. She changed her clothes and was about to head out.
When she went downstairs, Sam called out to her.
“Where are you going? The day has only started.”
“Edgar and I are having breakfast together.” Gigi made up an excuse.
If it was before, Sam would have encouraged her to get on Edgar’s good side. Now his relationship with Royden Group was
tense, yet his daughter seemed to be doing well with Edgar.
He said sternly, “You can’t meet him. The wedding hasn’t been held, and you don’t even have your marriage certificate. Do you
think it’s suitable for you to go about with him while you’re pregnant?”
“Dad!”
Gigi pouted. “Edgar said earlier on that we will register soon. As for the wedding, it’s just a reception.”

She was dissatisfied with the situation, but what could she do?
Two weddings were all disrupted by Jean.
She must head to the hospital right away to stop them from spending time alone together.
