    Chapter 333 Stop the Surgery


    Jean was startled. The next second, she turned around immediately and wanted to push Edgar away.


    However, Edgar’s body was above her; when she attempted to push him away, he drew closer to her.


    Then, Edgar turned swiftly and put Jean on the operating table together with him. Jean squirted her


    eyes as the light was blinding. Edgar pulled himself closer to Jean and blocked the light with his head.


    Jean gritted her teeth. “Let go of me!” “No way.” Edgar’s eyes were glistening as he stared fixedly at


    her face. “I’m afraid that I won’t have the chance anymore if I let go.”


    Jean’s frown deepened. She was here to negotiate with Edgar, but thetter hoaxed her. “Mr. Royden, I


    never thought you were this childish. Let go of me now. Otherwise, I’ll ask the others, so they know


    you’repletely fine.”


    Edgar hummed in response but did not let go of Jean. “Go ahead and yell.” At that moment, their


    posture was intimate, so Edgar bet Jean wouldn’t dare to rm the others.


    “Let go of me first!” While struggling, Jean identally hit Edgar’s arm with her elbow.


    Edgar winced as a sharp pain traveled across his body. He couldn’t hold this posture for too long, so he


    had no choice but to release Jean and step aside with a pale look.


    Only then did Jean realize that Edgar was indeed injured. Although his condition was not as serious as


    what was announced to the public, he indeed went into aa for one day due to the ident.


    Edgar walked to the other end of the operating room and rummaged through the surface of the table.


    “You know how to bandage, don’t you?” He passed a roll of gauze pad and a pair of scissors to Jean.


    “We have to put on an act.”


    After all, Edgar was supposed to undergo brain surgery. The others would definitely suspect something


    if he left the room without any wounds.


    Jean retracted her gaze and uttered coldly, “Do you agree with my condition?” Edgar smiled and


    hummed in a deep, maic voice, “Sure.” Only then did Jean go forward to put a bandage on him.


    Jean’s skill was blunt, and she would identally hurt Edgar throughout the process. Edgar had to


    adjust the position of his head ordingly so that Jean could wrap the gauze around it properly.


    Nheless, not only did Edgar not lose his temper, but he also seemed to enjoy the process. After


    putting on thest piece of bandage, Jean stared at Edgar in a serious manner, “Don’t tell me your


    brain is really damaged.”


    Edgar supported his head with his hand and muttered, “Maybe. I’m still having a severe headache.”


    “Stop pretending. I won’t be fooled by the same act twice.” After putting the gauze pad and scissors


    back in their original ce, Jean looked at the time and said, “A brain surgery shouldst at least two


    hours. Wait here until it’s time.”


    Just as she was about to leave, Edgar blocked her way.


    “Excuse me.”


    “Our business is not done yet. Aren’t you worried that you’ll lose out if you leave now?”


    Jean gazed at him in confusion. “What do you mean?”


    “You secretly put a camera in the floral basket you gave me. How should we settle that?”


    Jean’s heart jolted. I should’ve known this guy is not a pushover.


    …


    Outside the operating room, Gigi was pacing back and forth and rattling in a fluster, “Oh my goodness,


    why is it taking so long!”


    From afar, a figure approached – it was none other than Andy.


    “What brings you here?” Sam rebuked, “You’re not wee here!”


    Andy sneered. “Mr. Royden is undergoing brain surgery. Of course, I have to be here. What if his


    surgery fails and he can’t pull it through this time? I have to get ready to take over thepany.”


    “You…” Gigi was ashen-faced, but Andy had a point – If anything went wrong with the surgery or Edgar


    became in a vegetative state, the rest of her life would be disastrous.


    I should have listened to dad and distanced myself from Edgar. Given the current situation, no other


    men will ept me.


    Gigi’s eyes fluttered as she averted her focus to Andy. The child is Andy’s, so is Royden Group in the


    future…


    She wiped away her tears and mumbled, “I’m going to the washroom.”


    While walking past Andy, she cast a subtle nce at him.


    Perceiving her intention, Andy grinned and caught up with her after a while. The two made out at the


    narrow corridor for a while before Gigi fell into Andy’s arms; her forehead was covered with ayer of


    perspiration.


    Andy caressed her hair and bit her ear gently. “Why are you so dry? Didn’t Edgar satisfy you?”


    Gigi sobbed pitifully. “He doesn’t care about me at all. Andy, I-I regret it now.”


    Any man would be enchanted by her sweet and pitiful look except Edgar.


    Andy cupped her face with his hands as his eyes glistened. “You finally think of me now that Edgar is


    going to die?”


    “He’s going to die?” Gigi was stunned. “What do you mean?”


    I know brain surgery is risky, but what does he mean?!


    At that moment, Andy’s menacing expression was frightening.

    “Literally.” Suddenly, Andy leaned forward and kissed Gigi forcefully on her lips. “I’ve told you that I will


    be the future owner of Royden Group. You didn’t trust me and insisted on clinging to Edgar. You


    onlye back to me now that you’re ced at a disadvantage. Gigi Reece, what else do you have


    besides your body?”


    “I…”


    Before Gigi could say anything, Andy shoved her away emphatically.


    “I’m not keen on someone Edgar is not interested in.” Andy snorted and wiped his hands in disgust.


    “Please don’t go!” I’ll be doomed if Andy abandons me too. Thinking of her young child, Gigi pulled


    Andy with all her might.


    “I was wrong. Please give me a second chance, will you?”


    Momentster, Andy’s voice which resembled that of a devil, came forth. “It depends on your


    performance, then.”


    Half an hourter, Gigi went back to the entrance of the operating room. Looking at the red signal


    board, she bit her lips.


    “Where did you go? The doctor came out just now and said his condition is not optimistic.” Sam sighed.


    “If I’d known it, I wouldn’t have agreed on the marriage. You’re in deep water now.”


    Truth be told, Sam was more concerned that Gigi had gone to a dead end. She had wasted all her


    youth on Edgar and even bore him a child. Even if she wanted to cut ties with the Royden family and


    marry another wealthy family for the benefit of Reece Group, it would be impossible.


    Sam pped his thighs in frustration. I’ve wasted my energy and money raising a good-for-nothing all


    these years!


    Perceiving Sam’s expression, Gigi was more affirmed of her thoughts. Andy was right. I have to think


    about my own future. Sorry, Edgar. Please don’t me me.


    “Dad, I request to stop the surgery.”
