    Chapter 200 The Wrong Odds


    Winnie walked into the hospital quickly. She met Edgar at the door of Gigi’s ward. “Edgar, how is Gigi?”


    “She is still unconscious.” Edgar nced back at the ward, then headed to the dean’s office. Miles


    followed suit. Winnie shook her head and sighed. Then, she pushed the door and entered.


    “Gigi?” She called out to Gigi. Gigi’s eyes were tightly closed and she did not respond to Winnie’s call.


    Winnie closed the door carefully and locked it. “They have gone to the dean’s office. If you are


    awake…”


    Before she even finished her words, Gigi had opened her eyes. She waved at Winnie. “Hurry, get me


    some food. I’m starving.” She had not dared to move when Edgar and Miles were here just now. She


    was afraid that they would see through her deception.


    Winnie quickly poured her some water and passed her a banana. Gigi asked as she ate. “Was Edgar


    worried about me?”


    Winnie nodded gently. “I knew it. As long as I try hard enough, Edgar will surely care about me. He has


    now begun to suspect Jean. It wouldn’t be long before I make her leave Edgarpletely.”


    The more she spoke, the more excited she got. When Winnie saw her like this, she suddenly


    understood Jean’s words. Jean did nothing; Gigi had framed her. “Gigi, aren’t you afraid that Edgar


    would realize?”


    Gigi frowned immediately. She threw the banana peel at Winnie. “What do you mean? Who’s acting?”


    She had already thought about it long ago. As long as she didn’t admit it, there wouldn’t be any proof.


    So what if Edgar suspected her?


    She would have to stay in bed because of this fall. As long as he still cared for this child, there would


    be a chance for her. Winnie let out a quiet sigh. Just as she wanted to advise Gigi, a knock on the door


    was heard.


    Gigi immediately lied back under her quilt and pretended that she had just woken up. She faked a


    painful expression.


    Winnie went over to open the door.


    Miles stood at the door. He handed some daily necessities over to Winnie. “Mr. Royden told me to get


    these for Ms. Reece.”


    “Where is Edgar?”


    Gigi got up and asked.


    “Mr. Royden had some urgent matters to deal with. He will be back soon.” Miles replied without looking


    at Gigi.


    Gigiid on the bed and rolled her eyes.


    “Well then. I shouldn’t disturb him.”


    She did not cry or make any trouble. She covered herself with her quilt and turned her back to them.


    Winnie quickly took a step forward and said, “Gigi is still feeling unwell. Please tell the doctor toe


    have a look at her againter. She fell really hard this time, so we have to be extra cautious.”


    “Yes.”


    Miles nodded. He nced at Gigi before leaving the room.


    Winnie closed the door after he left and walked over to the bed. “Your father wille after his


    meeting. You should sleep first.”


    Gigi smiled proudly.


    Winnie nced out of the window.


    Jean might still be at the hospital. If she was, Edgar was most likely with her now.


    Was Jean more important than Gigi and her child?


    Winnie muttered under her breath and looked at Gigi, who was on the bed. She was uncertain if she


    had chosen the right odds.


    But if Jean was really that important to Edgar, the Eyer family would not have gone down then.


    What was Edgar thinking?


    At this time, in the hospital lobby.


    Edgar’s eyes were cold. He saw Jean ying with a stray cat at the hospital entrance.


    The smile on her face was so bright and natural; he seldom saw her smile like that.


    Jean stretched out her slender wrist and rubbed the kitten’s head gently. Her gentle gestures showed


    her patience and kindness.


    How could a kind person like her push a pregnant woman?


    No matter how much she hated them, she should target him instead.


    He stopped walking towards Jean abruptly when he thought of this.


    Perhaps he shouldn’t force Jean to stay by his side.


    It wasn’t because he couldn’t do so but he had no right to do so.


    He nced at Jean once more. She left hurriedly after answering a phone call.


    Thest touch of gentleness in the man’s eyes disappeared. When he opened his eyes again, they


    were cold and indifferent.


    They had nothing to do with each other anymore.


    …


    The call Jean had received was from Sonny.


    He spoke a lot on the phone. The more Jean listened to him, the more confused she was. She


    hurriedly gged a cab to go to the racing crew, only to realize that today was the official day of their


    racing crew’s disbandment.


    A few reporters surrounded them. They were waiting to interview Ben Ludwig.


    “News has spread out. This was supposed to be a gathering for just our racing crew. But we don’t know


    why these reporters are here.”


    “Perhaps it is because of the recent Ludwig family’s business.”


    Sonny sighed and looked at Jean apologetically. “We’re so sorry we called you here again because of


    the racing crew. But Ben is too stubborn to listen to anyone else. He does not listen to just anyone…”


    Sonny scratched his head. “If he loses his temper with the reporters when they start the interview,


    please help me restrain him. It wasn’t easy for the racing crew to make it till today. Although Dark


    Horse is quitting for good, the others might still continue racing.”


    Jean lowered her gaze and thought hard.


    She understood Sonny’s meaning.


    She thought about what Gigi said and considered whether she should meet Ben and make everything


    clear with him.


    “Okay, I get it. I will try my best.”


    “Thank you.” Sonny sighed in relief. Then he instructed someone to tidy the room up a bit.


    When Ben arrived, the reporters coulde in to take some photos as memory. After all, the crew had


    worked so hard to achieve whatever they have today.


    Soon, Ben arrived.


    But he wasn’t alone, Mr. Coleman was with him.


    “Jean.”


    When Ben saw Jean, he stepped toward her immediately. “I heard that Gigi is at the hospital again. Are


    you alright?”


    Even until now, he still thought of her first.


    Jean smiled. “What do you think? What can she do to me?”


    “Right.”


    “Okay, get ready everyone. I’m letting the reporters in now.” Sonny wanted to get this over and done


    with as soon as possible.


    As soon as he opened the door, the reporters rushed in.


    At first, they focused their cameras on Ben. But soon, they noticed Jean standing beside him.


    Suddenly, one reporter dashed toward Jean.


    “Ms. Eyer, yourst racing performance was amazing. Moreover, you broke the racing record. Do you


    n to be a professional racer in future?”


    “A professional racer?” Jean was taken aback.


    The other reporters followed suit and gathered around Jean in no time.


    “Ms. Eyer, please tell us your opinions towards female car racers!”


    “Ms. Eyer, when did you start racing?”


    Before Mr. Coleman and the others could stop the reporters from surrounding Ben Ludwig, they had


    already gone to Jean.


    Jean could not handle them alone, so she quickly motioned at Ben.


    Ben hummed.

    Just as he was about to go over, Mr. Coleman stopped him.


    “Sir, if you go over, the reporters will surely press you about your rtionship with Ms. Eyer. Mr. Ludwig


    has just gotten discharged from the hospital. It would be best if you stayed low for the time being.”
