Chapter 535

The night was quiet.

When Gigi finally opened her eyes, she was not surprised to see a few familiar faces surrounding her.

Her gaze was that of exhaustion and helplessness.

“You all…”

Her voice was hoarse when she started to speak.

“Why are you all surrounding me?”

She was disappointed to discover that she was still alive.

Jean pressed her hand against the headboard and bit her lower lip.

“Sheena, Dr.Walterson, can you leave us for a moment? I want to speak to her privately”

Sheena tried to say something, but Andrew dragged her out of the room.

As soon as the door closed, Jean took a deep breath and asked, “Why did you do it?”

Gigi’s gaze turned cold.She appeared to have lost all hope for the future as she snorted and said, “Why didn’t I die? Why…”

“How long are you going to keep torturing yourself like this?”Jean asked softly.

She pulled out a chair and sat down.

Then, she looked at Gigi’s face as she lay in bed.

Her sickly pale face burned into her mind.

Jean did not doubt Gigi when she agreed to cooperate with the doctor’s treatment.She also did not wish to pressure her.

However, now that something like this had happened, Jean had no choice but to get involved.

Gigi slowly turned to look at Jean.

“You don’t have to bother about me.Can’t you let me die on my own?”

She gripped the blanket tightly and continued with a cold smile, “Even though we are blood-related, I don’t want you to get involved with my life.” Content belongs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Jean stared at her for some time before saying slowly, “You tried to drag Xena into your death and interfere with my life.”

“Snap: The tension in Gigi’s heart suddenly snapped.

“What makes you think your plan is flawless? I know you hid it from Sheena so that she would be a witness.You knew she couldn’t lie and would reveal her true emotions before the reporters and police, making her even more convincing.”

“Then, you involved Dr.Walterson in your plan.Although I’m not sure how you convinced him, him being a doctor provided a good cover and made your plan a lot easier”

“But have you never considered that you might die if something went wrong?”

Jean had time to think things through while waiting for Gigi to regain consciousness.Her thoughts were unusually clear at this moment.

She believed Edbert was not behind this because George looked shocked when they received the news.

Furthermore, the police were able to rush to the scene in such a short time.

Then, she heard what Andrew said to the police and felt even more suspicious about the matter.

Jean sighed and said, “You can contend with me, but don’t hurt yourself”

Gigi turned away.

Moonlight shrouded her figure.She slowly closed her eyes and let tears flow onto her pillowcase.

“My life now is no different from dying, She sniffled and pushed herself against the headboard to sit on the bed.

“There is no one willing to donate to me.They refused as soon as Andrew revealed my identity to them and blocked the hospital from contacting them”

Gigi was pale from her illness.

The desperation in her tone keenly expressed her sorrow.

“It’s not your fault.Perhaps there’s a miscommunication somewhere.”

Jean tried to persuade Gigi, but she refused to listen.

“It’s my fault.I shouldn’t have let Sam take me away.I shouldn’t have existed in this world and done so much wrong.How can I expect anyone to take care of me?I…I don’t want to drag you down”

Gigi’s lips trembled.

“If not for me, you wouldn’t have to seek revenge against Edbert again.There would also be one less obstacle stopping you from getting back together with Edgar.Despite Gigi and Jean not having much chance to interact and understand each other, Gigi’s words still exposed the thoughts lingering in Jean’s mind.

Meanwhile, Sheena stood on tiptoes outside the door and peered inside.

On the other hand, Andrew stood calmly beside her as if waiting for someone to arrive.

“Dr.Walterson, are you not worried at all? What if they start arguing? Perhaps we should go in to check on them.

“No need.The person who can resolve this will arrive soon; Andrew replied calmly.

“Are you talking about…”

Before Sheena could finish her sentence, a tall figure walked toward them.

“Where are they?”

Edgar had a stern expression and gave off a cold aura.

He held a woman’s coat in his arm.

Andrew explained professionally, “They’re inside and have been talking for ten minutes.Gigi is emotionally unstable, so please don’t agitate her.”

Edgar’s expression turned even sterner.

“She shouldn’t agitate Jean either”

Then, he pushed open the door and headed into the room.

Sheena was stunned as she watched the exchange.

When did these two men get in touch? There seems to be some tacit understanding between them.

One of them protects Jean while the other sides with Gigi.

“Dr.Walterson, you have better explain yourself.How can you condone her doing this?”

Jean was disappointed with Andrew.

She did not expect a doctor recommended by Nathan to allow Gigi to put herself at risk.

Andrew also wondered if he had handled the matter well.He agreed to Gigi’s request because he could not refuse it.

“I was wrong” Andrew said softly.

Gigi felt guilty hearing him apologize.

“I threatened him.It’s not his fault.”

Andrew and Gigi bowed their heads like two guilty children.

Jean pressed her brow and suddenly felt someone draping a coat over her shoulders.

“There’s no use getting angry now.

The police have started investigating Xena.

Even if she has nothing to do with this matter, she won’t be able to escape other things.”

That was also the reason Edgar came to the hospital late.

It was because Edbert went into a state of panic after the police brought Xena away.

He not only met with many directors and members of the higher management privately but also caused another incident.

Although he nominated Xena as the vice president, she was only his puppet.

He had been secretly manipulating her all this while.

The matter would never have come to light if Xena had not been arrested.

Thus, it was an excellent opportunity for Edgar to root out the enemy once and for all.

Jean heard Edgar’s words and stood up immediately.

“Dr.Walterson, I’m willing to give you one more chance.It’s not because I trust you personally.Instead, I believe in your professionalism as a doctor.I hope you can take good care of her and not let anything happen again.Can you do that?”

Andrew nodded.

“Yes, I can”

Gigi suddenly felt an unfamiliar emotion growing in her heart.

Meanwhile, Edgar led Jean out of the room.

“The hospital smells strongly of antiseptic.You have stayed here too long, so you need to get out for some fresh air.”

He pulled an orange out of his coat as he spoke.

Jean looked at him and was amused by this small gesture.

“Aren’t you the president of Royden Group? When did you start selling oranges?”

She deliberately teased him and was rewarded with a rare smile from him.

“Ever since my wife became pregnant.”

Jean peeled the orange and glared at him.

“Who are you calling ‘wife’? I got pregnant out of wedlock.”
