Chapter 150


    Chapter 150 Nowhere to Be Seen


    At the crack of dawn. Ben tried calling Jean when he woke up, but the call wouldn’t connect. Farra


    apanied him to the nurse when she couldn’t stop him from going.


    As Ben stepped out of his room, he met Edgar and his assistant. A bodyguard was following behind


    them. “Mr. Royden.” Ben called out to him. “Why are you here?”


    Edgar turned around and looked at him coolly. “Am I supposed to inform Mr. Ludwig wherever I go?”


    The air around him was frigid. Farra nudged Ben. She heard Myer say that the recent partnership with


    Royden Group was dreadful. Besides, Royden Group seemed to be considering ending all partnerships


    with Ludwig Group.


    They had to be tolerant of Edgar for their business’s sake. “Mr. Royden is right. Let’s go, Benny.” Farra


    pulled her son. Ben turned back as he was pulled away. Edgar entered the elevator with the others. He


    frowned. “Mom, can you ask around why Edgar is here at the hospital?”


    “Royden Group has shares in this hospital. It’s not surprising that he’s here. Aren’t you looking for


    Jean? Let’s ask them.”


    The nurse only replied, “We don’t know.”


    “How wouldn’t you know? She was somewhere around the operating room yesterday.” Ben was


    anxious. “I’m sorry, Mr. Ludwig. There are a lot of people heading in and out of the hospital every day.


    We didn’t see her.”


    “Please call her a few more times. Let’s go back to your room. You need to rest. I’ll ask someone to find


    herter.” Farraforted him.


    Ben walked away slowly. His eyes were dull.


    “She promised she wouldn’t leave…”


    She didn’t detest him when he was crippled.


    Why did she disappear when he was much better now?


    Ben nced at the back garden. “Mom, I’ll go look at the back. Jean might be waiting for me there!”


    “Huh?”


    He ran away before Farra could hold on to him.


    The decorations his mother had ordered were still up. He was going to propose to her again there, but


    the main character was missing.


    A light drizzle fell from the sky.


    Farra ran to him with an umbre. “Alright, let’s go back now. Jean has to be around if you want to


    propose to her. Let’s go.”


    Ben was down in the dumps.


    His shoulders were wet from the rain as Farra pulled him back in.


    At the same time, a ck car passed by on the road in front of the hospital. Jean was in the car,


    unconscious.


    Her head was ced on Edgar’sp. Worried that she wasn’tfortable, he ced a hand beneath


    her shoulder to support her. He tapped on his phone screen while waiting for the test results.


    “Mr. Royden, the results are out.” Miles sent the report of Jean’s blood work to Edgar’s phone.


    Edgar opened the document.


    He went over it intently.


    He sighed a breath of relief.


    But he didn’t release his grip on his phone. His eyes were burning with fury.


    Sky sneaked into Jean’s room and injected an unknown fluid into her drip the night before. Fortunately,


    the guard on duty discovered the scene.


    Edgar rushed to the hospital when he received the news.


    “Mr. Royden, we’re here at your vi.” Miles opened the back door.


    Edgar draped his coat over Jean and carried her in.


    But he left in a hurry after settling her down.


    He knew that she would insist on going back when she woke up. She would be in a better frame of


    mind if he weren’t around.


    “Go to MON & Co.” Edgar’s face was grim.


    The driver and Miles felt the air in the car turn frigid. Whoever it was, they were asking for a death wish


    aggravating Mr. Royden.


    …


    When Jean woke up, she found herself in Edgar’s vi.


    She was confused.


    She was forced to go downstairs as her phone was nowhere to be seen.


    Thest thing she remembered was giving a blood transfusion to Ben in the operating room.


    “Ms. Eyer, you’re awake. I’ve made some food. Are you hungry?” Susan helped her down with a smile.


    “Mr. Royden told me your body would be weak. I’ll help you.”


    Mr. Royden?


    Jean looked around. “Where’s my phone?”


    “It’s charging.” Susan smiled as she led Jean to the dining room.


    Jean’s stomach rumbled when she smelled the food.


    Susan handed her a spoon. “I specially prepared this soup to replenish your energy. Try it.”


    She opened the food cover. The table was filled with all types of food, from fish to fruits.


    Jean was starving.


    She finished two bowls of rice without any hesitation.


    Susan chatted with her the entire time. It had been a while since Jean had such delicious food,


    especially since she had apanied Ben during his stay at the hospital.


    Plus, Ben’s surgery was sessful. She was relieved and her appetite came back in a rush.


    “Susan, can you pass me my phone?” She wanted to ask about Ben’s condition.


    “Your phone was put on charge not long ago. It will be some time before you can turn it on. Why don’t


    you have more fruit? I’ll take you for a walk in the gardenter,” Susan said as she pushed the te to


    Jean.


    Jean was exhausted after the walk in the garden.

    Susan guided her back to the bedroom.


    She sent a message to Edgar. Ms. Eyer is asleep again.


    There were sleeping pills mixed in the food. Jean needed rest after the transfusion, or she might


    experience side effects.


    Susan left the room quietly.


    Seeing the phone charging in the living room, she unplugged it and switched on airne mode. She


    then yed a video and muted it until the battery ran out and put it to charge again.


    No one would be able to call her since it was powered off.


    Jean wouldn’t be disturbed from her rest.


    Jean fell into a deep slumber. She hadn’t had such a restful sleep in a while.


    It was nighttime when she opened her eyes.


    The aroma of food drifted through the air. She touched her stomach. “I’m hungry again.”


    She had to admit that Susan’s food was delicious. When she went down the stairs, she noticed her


    phone was still charging. She frowned. “Is it broken?”


    “Ms. Eyer, you woke up. I’ve just made some light refreshments. Would you have some?”


    Susan’s gentle voice and smile were inviting.


    Jean nodded and ced her phone down.


    Since the operation was sessful and Ben had his family with him, she wasn’t needed there.


    Jean had only a few bites when a car stopped in front of the vi. Gigi barged in before Jean could


    react.


    Gigi widened her eyes at Jean, dressed in casual clothes and eatingfortably inside the house.


    “Why are you here?”


    So that’s why I couldn’t find Edgar for two whole days because he was avoiding me.


    He had a woman in his vi, and it was Jean, of all people!


    She rushed to Jean with her hand raised. “You shameless woman!”
