Forbidden by Him
“Of course. If you donate your blood directly, it will help the operation. However, if there are any
complications, I’m worried that you might not be able to handle it.”
There was a limit to blood donations. When an operation is ongoing, a huge amount of blood might be
needed, especially if the patient had loss an excessive amount of blood, but such conditions were
difficult to predict.
“I can do it. No matter what, I can pull through it.” Jean was adamant.
However, Ben protested vehemently.
“I disagree.” He raised his eyes, unwilling to accept her help.
Standing beside them, Farra had no clue what to say.
“Ben, don’t be childish.” Jean frowned.
“I’m not childish; do you know how dangerous it is? I’d rather be handicapped than to risk your life.” He
became increasingly emotional, slamming his fists into the bed.
Suddenly, his chest trembled, and he could not stop coughing.
“Don’t yell, Ben. We can still discuss our options.” Farra patted his back to soothe him while shooting a
glance at Jean.
Usually, when he refused to undergo the treatments, Jean was the only person who could convince
him.
If they had an argument, Farra was at a loss of what to do.
When Jean lowered her head again, she said in a low voice, “When you protected me during the
accident, did you consider how dangerous it was?”
I’m just trying to repay his life using mine. On top of that, this hospital has top-notch specialists. Even if
there are any emergencies, I’m sure they have a plan to handle that.
Ben clenched his fists tightly when he heard that.
“Were you so eager to save me so that you won’t have to live with the guilt of me being your life
savior?” he asked slowly, raising his head to look at her with immense sadness.
“I didn’t mean it like that.”
She froze upon hearing that. She had unintentionally hurt him.
“Go out, all of you. I’d like to be alone.” He turned around dejectedly.
Everyone left helplessly, leaving him alone in the ward.
“I hope you don’t mind, Jean. He’s just too worried about you, that there might be some complications
during the operation. I’ll call his father to see if there are any other solutions. I, too, don’t wish for you to
risk your life.” With that, Farra patted her hand. “Just take a rest, alright?”
Jean nodded obediently. “Yes, Mrs. Ludwig.”
Then, she turned around and looked through the small window of the ward. She had been in jail before,
and she knew how helpless it was to live in darkness with no support at all.
Her situation was similar to Ben’s current situation in the ward – lonely and helpless.
They were at the mercy of others.
Hence, she could understand how frustrating it was for Ben. Every time he refused to go through the
treatments, she was able to convince him gently.
However, this time, it was not up to Ben to accept.
The operation must be carried out, the sooner the better.
Looking at the time, she asked the nurse to pay more attention to the ward before heading to Dr.
Roffe’s office alone.
When she reached his door, she heard people talking in the room. Since he had some other guests,
she waited outside.
Unexpectedly, she knew this guest of his.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Royden. Both Dr. James and Dr. Michaelson’s schedules have been delayed for a
week. I think we will be able to find new blood supplies in the meantime.” His small eyes squinted as he
nudged the bridge of his glasses. “On top of that, Ms. Eyer said that she is willing to donate her blood,
so–”
“What did you say?”
Edgar’s head jerked up immediately.
Dr. Roffe was so taken aback by the look on his face that he could not even speak clearly. Wiping the
sweat from his forehead, he explained in a small voice, “I’m referring to Jean Eyer, Mr. Ludwig’s
girlfriend.”
Everyone in the hospital knew that Jean had been taking care of Ben all day and all night long.
Naturally, they assumed that she was his girlfriend.
Unexpectedly, after he finished saying that, Edgar’s face became darker.
Dr. Roffe had no idea what mistake he had made, so he merely waited anxiously for a reply. Isn’t this
good news to him?
He had no clue what had triggered Edgar’s fury.
“No matter what, don’t let her donate her blood. I don’t want to see her appear in the operation room,”
he replied coldly and dominantly.
“I understand. I’ll do my best to avoid that.” Seeing that Edgar had gotten up, he quickly sent him to the
door.
As soon as the door opened, Edgar’s sharp gaze landed on a slender figure around the corner.
Then, he turned around. “You don’t have to see me out any further.”
With that, he walked in Jean’s direction.
As Dr. Roffe was behind him, he did not see anyone outside. Not daring to disobey Edgar, he stopped
in his tracks and shut the door.
As the dim corridor lights fell on Jean’s face, it accentuated her beautiful features.
“You’re not allowed to donate your blood to Ben,” Edgar instructed coldly. He knew that Jean was
stubborn, but there was no room for discussion.
“You don’t have the right to control me. Also, why does Dr. Roffe have to report to you about Ben’s
condition?” Jean felt that things were not as simple as they seemed to be.
There are so many things for him to do at work. Where does he find the time for this?
She was always eyeing him defensively and vigilantly, and it annoyed him when he saw such
expressions in her eyes.
He knew that she always smiled and joked around in front of Ben, but when it came to him, she would
put up her guard and question his good intentions.
He frowned in exasperation. “I’m the main investor of this hospital. Is it weird for me to pay more
attention to the VIP patients?”
Jean hesitated when she heard that. He has a point.
He walked forward and looked at her fiercely. In an icy tone, he said firmly, “I’ll say it again – you are
forbidden from donating blood to Ben. Otherwise, I’ll ask the specialists to leave immediately, and then
you can just you wait for his operation to fail.”
Jean immediately frowned upon hearing that. Gritting her teeth, she said, “You are so despicable,
Edgar!”
Sure enough, a businessman’s calculations and schemes are always so revolting.
She rolled her eyes at him and prepared to leave.
However, she felt a tug on her wrists as he pulled her back. Staring into her eyes, he said, “You haven’t
promised me.”
She tried to shake him off, but it was futile. She was left with no other choices but to say after taking a
deep breath, “If there are better options, of course I won’t risk my life.”
Is that a promise?
Edgar was clearly dissatisfied by her reaction, but his heart skipped a beat when he looked at her up
closely.
However, between the two of them, he was the only one who felt the attraction. The woman whom he
had been restraining only wished to leave.
“Enough. You are a married man. Can you pay more attention to your behavior? Don’t think that I will
be grateful to you just because you found some specialists to treat Ben. This was your responsibility to
begin with! If anything was to befall him in this hospital, you will lose your money too, since you are an
investor of the hospital.”
With that, she gave him a shove and took advantage of his preoccupation to leave, hurrying to the
elevator.
He remained at the same spot, feeling the emptiness in his fingers.
Even though she had just given him a scolding, he was surprisingly not mad at her.
At this moment, his phone started vibrating – it was a call from Gigi.
His temples throbbed upon seeing that. After accepting the call, he heard her agitated voice. “Edgar,
come over quickly! The prenatal check revealed some distressing results!”
