Chapter 502

So In the meeting room at the hospital.

The expert representatives from each hospital watched Edbert’s operation.

They could see that there were many problems throughout the entire process.

The operation wouldn’t have failed if the doctor hadn’t accepted the bribe.

“The main surgeons of Edbert Royden’s have handed in resignation letters.

They denied that they received money, but we have evidence.

We can file in a sue any time.” The director pushed a document toward Edgar apologetically.

“Mr. Royden, | apologize for not keeping my word about this treatment.

All of this happened due to my poor supervision.

I’ll hand in my resignation after dealing with this matter: All in the room rose to their feet and bowed apologetically.

“We admit that, as the hospital, we are responsible for this matter.

We will do our best to coordinate and solve this issue.” Before they finished speaking, they heard a knock on the door.

As the door opened, George pushed Edbert, in a wheelchair, into the room.

His face was pale as he hadn’t completely recovered.

He raised a hand weakly.

“It must have been tiring dealing with this matter.

| thank all of you for your efforts.” Edgar, sitting on the right, looked on frostily.

Edbert didn’t seem to notice his expression.

The wheelchair rolled forward.

He spoke slowly to the people in the room.

“I’m already this old.

Anything could have happened on the operating table.

I…

have no intention of looking into this anymore.” It was a generous statement.

The doctors sighed in relief.

If the patient didn’t want to pursue the matter further, there was nothing else to do.

It was beneficial for them, as their reputation wouldn’t be affected.

Their expression looking at Edbert was like that of one admiring their gods.

“Mr. Edbert, we thank you for your consideration!” He coughed a few times before putting on a faint smile.

“It’s alright.

I’m aware of my situation.

It’s good enough | survived the operation table.” Edgar swept his eyes across the room stonily.

The hospital representative thought Edgar was trying to get justice and compensation for his uncle as a nephew.

“Even though Mr. Edbert says so, we will still give our best for the rest of the treatment.

We will also pay for all of the fees.” The hospital would do anything to keep the news under wraps.

Edgar stood up as the representative finished speaking.

“Edgar, everything’s over.

There’s no point in pursuing who’s responsible for this.” Edbert spoke up for the hospital.

In truth, the media was aiming for Jean.

If Edbert didn’t want to investigate the matter, no one would shed light on the truth.

George stood next to Edbert.

“Mr. Edbert, it’s time for your drip.” The hospital staff surrounded Edbert worriedly when he coughed again.

“Mr. Edbert, you must take good care of yourself.” With how they reacted, it was surprising they didn’t escort him back to his room.

At that moment, only a few doctors noticed Edgar’s expression.

They shot each other a look and hurriedly turned around.

“Mr. Edgar, next time we will.” “No.

Royden Group’s lawyers will be in touch.

This issue must be investigated thoroughly.’ He refused to compromise.

He couldn’t let Jean’s reputation get stained by the rumor.

Edbert heard the conversation through the door.

A sneer stretched across his pale face.

“Humans just never learn to be patient” George quickened his steps while pushing the wheelchair.

They had only been in the room for a while when Edgar arrived.

“George, we have something to discuss.

You can wait outside.” Edbert waved a hand indifferently.

George hesitated before nodding.

“Yes.” The door shut behind him.

Edbert and Edgar were left in the room, eyes fixed on the other.

“I’ve seen the news.

Those are all just gossip and rumors created by reporters.

Everyone would forget about them in no time.

You don’t need to worry about it.” Those words were…

Harsh to him.

“Would you be as gracious if you were the one being slandered?” Edgar’s eyes were dark.

His voice hardly contained his raging emotions.

Edbert slowly spun his wheelchair around.

“Edgar, I’m your elder.

I’ve let Jean go and decided not to pursue this matter.

Do you want me to continue?” Edgar only stared at him coolly.

Edbert’s breath quickened as his anger mounted.

He slammed his fist on the wheelchair.

“I’m the one who has to depend on this thing for the rest of my life!” “Do you mean that I should thank you for your grace?” Edgar’s voice quietened at the end of his words.

He had never imagined that there would be a day when he would confront Edbert in these conditions.

“You returned the company to me to control the public’s opinion.

Back then, when the company had troubles, didn’t you use the same method to push all the responsibilities onto my father?” The issue had been in his mind the whole time.

He still remembered the time when rumors were all over the place.

When Edgar was lost, Edbert was the one who approached him on his own and gave him a place to settle down.

Edgar wouldn’t have been in the dark for years if it hadn’t happened.

He had always trusted Edbert.

“How could you think that?” Edbert’s expression changed.

“I’ve helped you all these years to take a stable position of president in Royden Group as your parents’ last wish.

| didn’t even remarry for you.

But you!” ‘Cough!’ Edbert started coughing uncontrollably.

His face turned deathly pale.

Xena barged into the room.

The bag in her hand split, and fruits spilled all over the floor.

“What are you two doing?” She hurried over to help Edbert.

While patting his back, she gave Edgar a few careful glances. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Edgar, hasn’t the hospital given a solution to this situation?” Edbert gripped Xena’s arm tightly.

“You, send him out.

| don’t want to see him.” Edgar gave the father-daughter duo an icy look before walking out without hesitation.

He had only stepped out of the room when Edbert glanced at Xena and said curtly, “Why are you not going after him?” Xena quickly followed despite being confused about the situation.

She couldn’t hide the fear in her eyes as she ran out and grabbed Edgar by his suit.

She followed him into the elevator.

“Edgar, I… I’m…” She had a lot that she wanted to say.

Even though the words were on the tip of her tongue, she couldn’t speak them.

She was only aware of a small portion of Edbert’s plans.

If she told Edgar, Edbert would do away with her! “Let go.” Edgar flung her hand away.

She had never seen such coldness in his eyes before.

“I don’t care if we knew each other before this; | don’t want to have anything to do with you.

Get out of my sight if you still want to live.”
