Chapter 499 The operation was still ongoing.
Xena continued crying for a long time, but Edgar didn't cback.
She asked George softly, "Go and check where he went." George remained motionless and answered, "He has probably left" "What?" Xena stood up immediately and ran to the lift at the other end of the corridor.
After pacing back and forth for a while, she looked down at the car park.
Indeed, Edgar's car was nowhere to be seen.
She bit her lips indignantly.
"How can this happen?" "Maybe Mr. Edbert overestimated Mr. Edgar's care for his family.
Maybe he doesn't.." "Shut up.
That's impossible! He must be thinking of other solutions with the doctors because my father's operation is too onerous." Xena bit her nails anxiously and continued pacing back and forth. Belonging Nôvel.Org.

Remembering that Edbert was undergoing surgery, Jean switched on the television.
Soon, the business news started reporting news about the change of management in Royden Group.
"Edgar Royden will becthe person-in-charge of Royden Group once again...
After Edbert was admitted to the hospital, he delivered an oral will to pass all assets and companies under his nto Edgar and left not even a single penny for his daughter.
The public praised Edbert for having the cardinal principles in mind and selflessly protecting Royden Group so that the business empire would not fall and affect the entire market.
However, Jean thought it was a delicately planned plot.
The old fox was extremely schemeful, so how could he be willing to let go of everything? Moreover, his illness was rather fishy.
What are the odds that he was admitted to the hospital on the sday Sam died? Jean took her handbag and rushed to the hospital.
She entered the hospital as a visitor and walked around the ward area to see Xena and George staying in the ward, awaiting Edbert to caround.
The doctor's explanation was that the operation was smooth at first, but due to the uniqueness of Edgar's situation, his nervous system was damaged and might be wheel-bound for the rest of his life.
Besides, he would lose sensation in his legs.
Anurse noticed Jean standing outside the ward for stbut did not go in, so she reminded her, "The visitation hours will be over soon.
Do you want to go in?" Jean shook her head and turned to walk away.
Xena noticed Jean outside the ward and dashed out immediately.
"Why did you do this?! He will be wheel-bound forever.
Are you happy now?!" What is she talking about? Jean turned around slowly.
"Are you talking to me?" Xena bit her lips and snorted.
"Of course.
Who else would be this ruthless to bribe the doctors and sabotage the operation?" Jean laughed in spite of herself.
Only if it's so easy to make one disappear.
Before Jean could retort her, Xena looked past her and called out, "Edgar!" She walked past Jean and ran over to Edgar.
"The operation failed because someone played dirty.
My dad can never stand up again." Xena complained with her eyes red-rimmed.
Her words could be clearly heard throughout the corridor.
With his eyes darkened, Edgar shoved Xena aside.
The director rushed over and said, "Mr. Royden, let's talk in my office regarding the operation: Edgar remained silent as he gazed at Jean.
Xena bit her lips fiercely as tears flowed down her face.
"Edgar, we have to pursue this matter!" Jean lifted her eyes to look at Xena with a change in her expression. "Ms. Sparks, defamation is illegal.
Do you have evidence?" Xena answered with a smile, "Of course." "Good then.
You may talk to my lawyers directly.
I have no tto bicker with you here.' After saying that, Jean lifted her head and met Edgar's deep eyes.
The light in the corridor was dim, but she could clearly see the change in Edgar's expression.
Disheartened, Jean said, "This is your family affair, so | have no right to interfere.
But if I'm implicated, I'll not stay silent.' Edgar's heart sank.
Before he could say anything, Jean strode away.
George uttered, "Mr. Edgar, Mr. Edbert should caround soon.
We should talk to the directors about the operation.

It would be unfair to Ms. Eyer if she is innocent." When Edgar beard that, his eyes turned colder as he glanced at the director. "Mr. Royden, we've prepared all documents and footage.
Please cto the office." When Xena saw Edgar leave with the director, she wanted to go after him, but George stopped her.
"It's inappropriate for you to step up now.
Please stay here to accompany Mr. Edbert.
I'll handle the rest." Xena was too hasty just now.
If Edgar wasn't so concerned about the operation, she might have given the gaway.
As such, she should stay back.
Xena frowned and mumbled after a while, "Alright then, do keepupdated" George nodded and strode away.
When Xena entered the ward, Edbert had already caround.
He sat on the bed with his eyes looking like an emotionless, dried stream.
It was as if his eyes could absorb one's soul.
"Hey, you've caround." Xena walked over and wanted to press the call button.
Before she could reach the call button, Edbert grasped her tightly.
His face was so pale that he looked like a dead man.
He blurted in an extremely hoarse voice, "Did he believe it?" Taken m aback, Xena pushed him away in a panic and slumped on the floor while Edbert fell on the bed. Edbert started coughing intensely, which attracted the nurses' attention.
