Chapter 15 Jean Eyer Goes Missing
Edgar Royden stopped in his tracks. Behind him followed someone who looked like an assistant who was panting and holding a thermal lunchbox. After his meeting ended, he realized that he kept thinking of Jean Eyer in the hospital uncontrollably.
The way she crashed into the car and the fact that she couldn’t get pregnant again made him feel extremely guilty, so he arranged for supplements to be sent to her. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“Edgar Royden, you scum!”
His eyes ablaze with anger, Ben Ludwig rushed up to Edgar Royden. His hard fists hit Edgar Royden’s face the next second. “What is it going to take for you to let her go? How can you treat a woman like this? Are you even a man?”
The fiery pain woke Edgar Royden up in an instant. Seeing that Ben Ludwig was once again going in for more, Edgar Royden responded with his fists unwaveringly.
A fight between the two men erupted. Edgar Royden’s assistant was completely dumbstruck, along with the rest of the hospital.
“Fight! Fight!” Someone shouted.
Jean Eyer’s eyebrows flickered as the commotion outside grew. She turned in her wheelchair from the window.
Someone called from the door, “Ms. Eyer, come quickly. There are people fighting over you.”
Jean Eyer’s grip on the wheelchair tightened.
She then heard Ben Ludwig say while throwing punches, “Jean Eyer must be blind. How could she have ever liked you?”
Edgar Royden blocked Ben Ludwig before he could throw the next punch. In a cold voice, he replied, “What about you? You can’t even save her from your mom, how could you protect her?”
It was like time stopped at that moment, and Ben Ludwig was struck dumb.
No one noticed that a crack appeared at the tightly shut door, and a shadow slipped out.
Ten minutes later, the inpatient department received a call. The nurse’s face changed immediately. “What? Ms. Eyer has been discharged from the hospital?”
“What?” Ben Ludwig exclaimed. He let go of Edgar Royden’s shirt and stormed into the empty hospital room.
He glanced at Edgar Royden, whose face was cold as usual. Even after hearing that Jean Eyer had been discharged, his face darkened but otherwise stayed the same.
Ben Ludwig brushed past Edgar Royden and snatched the phone away from the nurse, “Where did she go?”
The person on the other side of the phone thought this was a peculiar question. “I’m… not sure, sir. You can try calling the patient directly.” They replied before hanging up.
Call her? Jean Eyer was determined not to talk to him and wouldn’t even let him in the door. Would she answer his call?
“I’m warning you, Edgar Royden. If anything happens to Jean Eyer again, I will sacrifice everything from the Ludwig family and go up against you, Edgar Royden!” Ben Ludwig held up two fingers as a
warning and ran to the elevators.
“Mr. Royden… should… we treat your injuries?” The assistant asked, seeing Edgar Royden’s swollen side profile and blood pool at the corner of his mouth.
“I’m fine.” Edgar Royden raised his hand to wipe away the blood at the corner of his mouth.
Ben Ludwig got into the elevator and the doors closed. Edgar Royden said after a long pause, “She can’t have gone far.”
Edgar Royden was spot on. With the Eyer family’s debts and interest from their loans, Jean Eyer had nowhere to go.
After leaving the hospital, messages kept popping up on her cellphone and were adding up to a few million unread ones.
