Chapter 303 Life is Better than Death
Jean pressed his arm and walked down the steps with difficulty. Every step is lighter and lighter, like stepping on a
cloud. She couldn’t figure out why God would play tricks on her like this!
Wasn’t Gigi on her side? She walked forward in a daze, not paying attention to her feet, and almost fell down. A
well-meaning man who passed by helped her, “Miss, you look awful. Are you okay? It’s better to let your family
come to pick you up.”
Family? Jean’s eye sockets turned red again. Does she even have any family members?
Her only relative in this world turned out to be her ex-husband’s “iancée! And she had just given birth and was now
lying in the delivery room.
Edgar should be sitting next to her at this time, right? Jean lowered his head and lost his mind for a while.
The passerby heard her cell phone ringing, called her a few times but the call did not go through. Out of kindness,
she answered the phone for her, “If you are her friend, come and pick her up near the hospital. Her condition isn’t
too good, and it’s unsafe for her.”
When Ben came, he saw her sitting on the side of the road in a daze. There was only an advertisement on the bus
stop sign behind him.
“Jean?” He got out of the car and walked over, immediately took off his coat, and put it on her body. Jean raised her
head and looked at him. Tears fell silently, “I…”
“Who bullied you! Is it that boy Edgar?” Ben was in a hurry. He was angry and annoyed, “Go, go to my place first.”
He was afraid that Jean would be uncomfortable, so instead of taking her back to Ben’s house, he took her to the
apartment on the east side.
Seeing Jean’s dazed look, he felt indescribably distressed. After entering the door, Jean walked in barefoot, stood in
front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and asked slowly, “Ben, do you have any wine?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I do.” He never hesitated to satisfy her demands. But soon, Ben regretted it. Jean drank one bottle after another.
She wouldn’t stop. As soon as he reached out to stop her, she cried.
She made a soul-piercing cry. When Ben looked at it, he felt his heart breaking. When the Eyer family had an
accident, and she divorced Edgar, she didn’t even cry like this.
“Jean, don’t cry. No matter how difficult it is, I will face it together with you.” He really didn’t know what words to
say to comfort her. He stretched out his hand clumsily and gently stroked her back.
That seemed to have calmed her.
Ordinarily, Jean would not encounter any trouble.
After thinking about it, Ben felt that it was Edgar who bullied her!
At the end of Jean’s crying, her voice became hoarse, and her tears dried up. She just nestled on the floor and fell
asleep soundlessly.
Ben carried her back to the room temporarily and put away all the sharp weapons in the apartment.
Just in case, he also told the property manager to watch the surveillance video here.
After that, he immediately drove to look for Edgar.
In the hospital corridor, Edgar received a call and just came out of the ward.
Ben rushed out of the elevator, went straight to him, raised his fist, and hit him.
There was a bang.
Edgar couldn’t dodge in time and fell on the trolley behind him.
The loud noise lingered in the entire corridor, and the surrounding patients and medical staff were frightened.
“You b*stard, you’ve had such a good time. What have you done to her? Can’t you let her go?” Ben roared, raised
his fist, and wanted to hit her.
Edgar originally wanted to block it.
But after hearing his purpose, he actually gave up resisting.
“If doing this can make you vent her anger, then hit me.” Edgar lowered his hand.
He couldn’t forget the way Jean was trembling while holding the steering wheel in that car.
If he had gone one step later, maybe she would have taken a life on her back.
He didn’t expect that the truth of that incident would cause her such a nuisance. If he had expected it, he would
never have let her appear in that village.
“Then you admitted it, what did you do to her again!” Ben growled, with murderous intent in his eyes.
The hospital security rushed over after receiving the news and immediately separated the two of them, “This is a
hospital, what are you doing!”
Not reconciled, Ben lifted his legs forward a few times.
“Let me go!”
Edgar was helped up by Miles, who had just arrived, “Mr. Royden, are you alright?”
He raised his hand and looked at Ben with deep eyes, “If she is with you, take good care of her, and when I finish
dealing with Andy’s affairs. I’ll accept the consequences.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you. If you don’t, I’ll let the whole city know your true face, Edgar!”
Ben shook off the security guards vigorously and left angrily.
Winnie Campbell hid in the dark and could hear clearly.
She murmured, “We need to establish a good relationship with Jean as soon as possible. None of them can be relied
upon.”
Ben bought some hot porridge on the way back.
After entering the door, the room was full of the smell of alcohol, which was unbearable.
He first opened the outside room to ventilate and then heard Jean vomit in the room. She hurled the contents into
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher stomach.
He hurried over with hot water.
Jean looked like she had seen a ghost. She collapsed on the bathroom tiles
“What’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me.”
When Ben touched her, her whole body became very hot, and he was about to carry Jean to the hospital
immediately.
But she tightened her hands and suddenly said, “Don’t touch me.”
“You’re going to die like this.”
“Die? It’s better to die. Then I don’t have to face these things. My father is a cruel bastard!”
She was well aware of the grave she had built for herself. Ask him why Gigi is her sister!
Jean wept silently. The corners of his eyes were dry and cracked, “Ben, let me die.”
She turned her head to one side, looking pitiful and extremely sad.
“I won’t let anything happen to you.”
Ben frowned and pulled her to his side, “I don’t know what happened, but the only thing I can be sure of is that as
long as it can make you better, I am willing to do anything.”
Jean almost shed tears.
The light in her eyes was gone. She was too weak to move. Ben picked her up regardless.
No matter how Ben called her name, Jean didn’t respond.
“I’m going to the hospital soon, you have to hold on, and nothing will happen.”
His panic was clearly written on his face. When he rushed into the hospital with Jean in his arms, he happened to
run into Edgar, who had finished the formalities for Gigi.
“What’s up with her?”
“You’re the last to talk.” Ben clenched his fists, “If you don’t want her to die, then go away.”
