Chapter 149 If He Could Marry Her Once, He Could Marry Her a Second Time

Ben Ludwig closed his eyes slowly. He hoped that the next day wouldn’t arrive so quickly. Watching him sleep, Farra

Emilio called Jean Eyer over.

“Thank goodness you’re back. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do. Bennie was probably worried because he

couldn’t get through to your cell phone. Are you hurt?”

Jean Eyer smiled and shook her head. “I was at my friend’s house. There wasn’t good reception.”

She didn’t want to speak on it anymore. Farra Emilio nodded. She held on to Jean Eyer’s hand and continued

talking. Maybe she knew that Farra Emilio was worried about the surgery the next day, so Jean Eyer stayed up with

her until the middle of the night.

At the same time, Nathan Knox was dragged by Edgar Royden to a bar for some drinks. He looked at his watch a

few times. “Edgar, it’s getting late. Let’s go.”

But no matter what he said, Edgar Royden was unmoving. Nathan Knox was frustrated and had to use an ace in his

hands. “You’ve already divorced Jean Eyer. Treating her like this is a type of harassment. To put it plainly, she can

sue you.”

Crack. The glass in his hand fell. Edgar Royden looked up with frost in his eyes. That gaze truly frightened Nathan

Knox.

“I’m only saying it like it is. Think about it, she doesn’t have a boyfriend now. So what if she’s in debt, the Ludwig

family isn’t leaving her behind. Ben Ludwig and her…”

Nathan Knox stopped. He didn’t dare complete his sentence. In other words, he feared for his life. “At the very

least, you want her back. There’s no use in you drinking here alone.” Nathan Knox was exhausted from a full day of

work.

He feared he’d die on the spot if Edgar Royden didn’t let him go home. When Edgar Royden heard that, the frost in

his eyes slowly faded. “Get her back?”

The man raised his brows. If he could marry Jean Eyer once, he could marry her a second time. “But I must remind

you that Gigi Reece is bearing your child.”

Nathan Knox knew that Edgar Royden wasn’t that kind of person. He wouldn’t shy away from responsibility. “Help

me check something out.” Edgar Royden recalled back to what happened after he had drinks with Gigi Reece.

Nathan Knox’s eyes widened. “You, don’t tell me you suspect the child isn’t yours?”

If Gigi Reece cheated on Edgar Royden, it would be the joke of Yorktown.

Edgar Royden pushed the table and stood up. “Just check it out.”

He had his suspicions, but the Reece family wouldn’t lie about these things for no reason. Because if he found out,

the consequences would be severe.

As for Jean Eyer, he had all the time. He would take it slow.

The next day at ten in the morning, a nurse pushed Ben Ludwig into the operating theatre.

Farra Emilio was pacing nervously in the corridor. From time to time, she would look inside. “Jeannie, there should

be no problems with the two specialists, right?”

“Mrs. Ludwig, please have a seat. The surgery would be three hours at the very least.”

This was only a conservative estimate.

With the two previous surgeries as a foundation, Ben Ludwig would basically recover fully if the surgery went well

this time.

Jean Eyer prayed silently as she looked at the light outside the operating theatre.

However, there was still a bump on the road.

An hour into the surgery, an unexpected situation occurred. There was massive blood loss, and the reserved blood

they had on standby wasn’t enough.

“The patient needs a blood transfusion!” The nurse said as she came out.

Jean Eyer immediately walked over. “Take mine.”

“Alright, come with me.”

Farra Emilio saw nothing but darkness as she fainted.

Jean Eyer was taken into a room beside the operating theatre. A door stood between her and Ben Ludwig’s ongoing

surgery.

“Ms. Eyer, I need to confirm with you again. Your blood type, and have you taken any alcohol or medicine within the

last 24 hours…” The nurse was listing it out one by one.

After Jean Eyer verified, she signed her name.

As the needle pierced her skin, Jean Eyer took a deep breath. She leaned back on the chair.

She was more than happy to help Ben Ludwig.

At the same time, the hospital was broadcasting a message to the whole building, looking for other donors.

Jean Eyer didn’t know how much blood was drawn. Along with insufficient rest from the night before, she quickly fell

asleep.

Crash.

She heard something crack beside her.

She opened her eyes in horror but found that she was in someone’s embrace.

She smelled the scent of disinfectant on the other person and thought he was someone from the hospital. She

asked, “How is Ben Ludwig?”

He didn’t answer but quickened his footsteps.

Jean Eyer was still babbling. “Is the surgery over? He… should be fine, right.”

Even at this time, she was still so hung up on him?

Edgar Royden looked down and carried the woman into a hospital room while fiercely suppressing his rage.

“Mr. Royden, everyone we brought has donated blood. Ben Ludwig’s condition is stable at the moment. The surgery

will be ending soon.” Miles stood at the door and reported to him softly.

Edgar Royden raised his hand, and Miles left immediately.

He stood by the bedside for a long time. He kept asking himself a question. If this woman died, would he be

heartbroken?”

He didn’t have an answer.

Maybe he only used Jean Eyer as a tool for revenge, but he never thought of hurting her before.

The man stared at the glistening, fair face on the bed. He slowly loosened his balled fists and said word for word in

a hardened voice, “You do not possess the opportunity to die without my permission.”

Even more so to die for another man.

It was as if Jean Eyer had a long dream. When she woke up, there was no one in the hospital room.

She looked at the transfusion needle at her wrist and wrinkled her brow.

She lifted her hand to ring the call button but realized she couldn’t reach it.

“Ms. Eyer, let me help you.” A nurse came in time. She helped Jean Eyer up after pressing the call button. “The

stew is ready, do you want some? You just finished a blood transfusion. Your body is weak, and you need to

recuperate.”

Jean Eyer looked at her and asked, “How is Ben Ludwig? The surgery should be over by now.”

“It has ended. All is well,” the nurse said while putting a coat around Jean Eyer.

Her restless heart calmed down.

“Take care of him. I’m fine.” Jean Eyer looked down. She’d never seen this nurse before, but the nurse should be

employed under the Ludwig family.

“It’s alright, Ms. Eyer. Let me take some stew for you. You should at least eat a little.”

Jean Eyer nodded. She still felt a little dizzy.

Not too long after, a nurse came by and told her that all was well with her, and said to rest well.

On the other end, Ben Ludwig had just awoken.

The first thing he did was look for Jean Eyer.

Myer Ludwig was standing in the hospital room. “Your surgery just ended. She should be the one who’s looking for

you. She’s usually around every day, why is she missing today.”

“She’s missing?” Ben Ludwig sat up suddenly. “I’ll look for her.”

Jean Eyer promised to stay with him.

Ben Ludwig tore off his comforter and got down from the bed in a hurry.

Farra Emilio stopped him in a rush. “My darling son, please rest. Once you’re feeling better, Jean Eyer will definitely

be here. Maybe she’s caught up with other things. Please lie down.”

After Farra Emilio woke up, she didn’t see Jean Eyer around and didn’t know where she went.

“You’re still very weak now. You need to stay for observation for another day, doctor’s orders. It’s late now. I’ll look

for her with you tomorrow morning.”

Ben Ludwig was forced back to bed.

The anesthetic effects hadn’t completely worn off, so he fell asleep quickly.

In the dark of the night, the hospital corridor was empty. Only the man’s leather shoe footsteps could be heard.

He pushed the hospital room door open and walked slowly towards the bed.
