Chapter 330 Unwilling to Give Up
That afternoon, Gigi was getting ready to see Edgar when she received a call from the hospital. “What?
Are you sure? Hasn’t he already regained consciousness? Why would he be suffering from brain
damage?”
The nurse exined patiently over the phone, “There is no mistake. The patient has a severe brain
injury and needs another surgery. It would be best if you came to the hospital immediately to sign the
papers. If you dy any longer, the patient may fall into aa.”
The nurse hung up immediately after exining. Gigi turned pale and was too shocked to speak.
Susan finally returned to work today and heard Gigi calling her father in the dining room. “Dad, Edgar
needs another surgery. What should I do? Will he…”
Susan nearly went into cardiac arrest from shock and immediately called Jean on her phone. “Ms.
Eyer, it’s about Mr. Royden.” Jean was stunned after hearing Susan.
Edgar seemed quite well when shest saw him in the hospital. She could not understand how his
condition would suddenly be so severe.
“Ms. Eyer, if you have the time, can you please check on Mr. Royden in the hospital? I fear Gigi and her
father might not do anything for him if something bad happens to him.”
Jean furrowed her brow. “But nothing will change even if I go there.” Furthermore, she had no right to
go there. “Ms. Eyer, I beg of you. Mr. Royden has no one else…”
Jean nodded slowly. “All right, I understand.” She brought a flower basket and headed to the hospital.
But this time, the Reece family’s bodyguard stopped her at the entrance.
“Please leave.” Jean wanted tough. Only Gigi woulde up with something like this. “The Reece
family does not own this hospital. So, why can’t I go in? You have no right to stop me. Step aside, or I’ll
call the police.”
The bodyguards exchanged nces. They could not deny that what Jean said was right. However,
they had to follow orders and refused to budge.
“All right then. Can you help me bring this flower basket to Edgar? This isn’t too much to ask, isn’t it?”
Jean put down the flower basket and turned around to leave.
The bodyguards watched her leave before bringing the flower basket upstairs.
Meanwhile, Jean walked to the car on the opposite street and turned on her Bluetooth earpiece.
She had ced a pinhole camera in the flower basket. Beforeing here, she gave some thought
and knew Gigi would be wary of her and refuse her entry.
However, Jean did not mind and came up with another way.
Furthermore, she had other matters that she wanted to investigate. For example, she wanted to know
how the rtionship between Sam and Gigi was.
The surveince footage was transmitted to her in real-time. Thus, it was a little blurry.
Jean adjusted the angle so that the camera pointed at the man lying in bed.
Then, she pressed a button and heard the voices in Edgar’s room.
“Dad, what if Edgar ends up like this for the rest of his life? What am I to do?” Gigi stomped her foot
anxiously. “I’m still young. I don’t want to live like a widow.”
“Nonsense!”
Sam stared at Edgar. He stepped forward and pped Edgar’s shoulder and arm before saying with a
frown, “If he bes bedridden, you can take out that agreement and tell everyone that your marriage
is invalid.”
Gigi bit her lower lip.
“That won’t do.”
“What else can you do? Are you going to stay by his side forever?” Sam yelled furiously, “I wanted you
to marry him so that you can enjoy a good life. You should wake up a little!”
Gigi muttered, “I had to give up sending Jean to prison to keep Edgar by my side, so I feel indignant
having to end the marriage so soon.”
She spent countless efforts to reach this point. Thus, she believed she would regret it if she were to let
go now.
Jean frowned as she watched Sam and Gigi.
They treated marriage as nothing more than a business transaction.
Jean looked at Gigi’s expression with conflicting emotions. She felt some regret and sadness for Gigi.
Sam had raised Gigi into such a morally corrupted being. If Jean and Gigi’s father were alive, he would
have been heartbroken.
Suddenly, Sam received a call and left in a rush, saying there was some matter in thepany.
Jean noticed his driver parked the car before the hospital entrance. Thus, she stopped watching the
surveince footage and turned it off.
Once Sam left the hospital, Jean stepped on the elerator to follow him.
Sam’s car traveled toward the northern outskirt of the city and stopped before a high-end club. Jean
nced at the sign and knew it would be a costly ce to visit.
Recently, Reece Group has been revealed to have issues with cash flow. How could he still be in the
mood to visit such an establishment?
Jean got out of her car and was ready to follow him.
“I’m sorry, Miss. Only members are allowed here.”
Jean arched an eyebrow and put on a calm front. “I’m a member here. Step aside.”
However, the two security guards refused to budge. Then, Jean realized the patrons were all suit-d
businessmen or someone like Sam. In short, they were all men.
Jean had no choice but to retreat a few steps.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a beautifuldy in the hall. She came out to bring Sam in.
Somehow her face looked familiar.
Jean kept staring in that direction and stood stunned.

Coincidentally, another familiar figure came out from within. It was Nathan, and he smelled strongly of
alcohol. As soon as the electric door parted, Nathan saw Jean and was equally stunned.
“Why are you…”
He stopped midsentence and snuck a nce inside the club. Then, he urgently dragged her away.
“You shouldn’t be here. Once you leave, don’t tell anyone that you are here. Do you understand?”
Nathan warned her.
It seemed Jean had discovered a secret she mustn’t know when she came to this ce.
“You came here yourself, so why can’t I?” Jean chuckled and continued, “I’m persistent in everything I
do. If you keep forbidding me from visiting, I’ll only be more curious about this ce.”
Nathan sighed and knew he could not stall her much longer. “This ce is worse than Luminance Club.
As you can see, everyone in there is a man.”
“Everyone?” Jean recalled thedy she had seen just now.
A name appeared in her mind. Joey Davis!
As she was engrossed in her thoughts, Nathan immediately pulled her to the car. “Since you’re here,
you can send me back to the city area.”
Jean smelled the alcohol from his body and came back to her senses. She extended her hand and
said, “The fare.”
Nathan nodded. “I’ll pay you!”
Jean nced at the high-end club and did not ask any more questions about it. She started the car and
sent Nathan back to Knox Residence.
“Jean?” Jensen and the servants were waiting at the front door.
When he saw it was Jean who sent Nathan home and how drunk Nathan was, he bent over and
pressed on the car door. “Did you drink too?”
Jean shook her head. “I…”
She blinked quickly and came up with an excuse.
“I think he was anxious about Edgar’s brain damage and surgery and drank too much. So, I pitied him
and sent him back.”
Since Nathan was Edgar’s most trusted friend, her excuse was eptable.
Thus, Jensen did not suspect anything but told her to drive home safely.
Jean recalled Nathan was still clear-headed a moment ago. However, he pretended to bepletely
wasted as soon as they arrived at Knox Residence.
She narrowed her eyes. Things are getting interesting.
