Chapter 203 Please Stay Still
“Please stay still.” There was nothing Miles could do except order his assistants to find a way to open the balcony door. He did not dare to think what would happen if Gigi lost her balance and fell.
At this moment, the words coming from downstairs reminded Gigi.
Thus, she covered her head and wailed, “I don’t want to live anymore. My baby suffered so much before it had a chance to be born. Why should I let it enter this world? I failed as a mother. I might as well jump and end everything!”
Gigi put on a heart-wrenching act. Suddenly, she saw a figure appearing behind Miles. It was not Edgar but Jean. She had decided to return.
Gigi’s heart sank. But she could not stop acting until Edgar showed up. Otherwise, people would laugh at her. Furthermore, she couldn’t get into her room and had no choice but to stay on the cold balcony.
Jean glanced at Gigi and smiled. She deliberately lowered her voice and said something next to Miles. That prompted Gigi to panic and slam her hands against the balcony door.
“Don’t listen to her nonsense. This woman is trying to harm me. She is jealous that I’m pregnant with Edgar’s baby.”
Miles frowned and said helplessly, “Ms. Reece, please calm down.” However, Gigi refused to listen. She kept screaming and raving like a lunatic.
Jean smiled even wider.
Soon, the hospital staff began to take action.
Since Gigi was someone close to Edgar, the whole hospital would be in severe trouble if anything happened to her.
The hospital director shouted, “Quick! Knock down the door!” The hospital staff immediately surrounded the door.
Miles frowned and rushed to stop them. “There’s not enough space on the balcony. Ms. Reece could get hurt if you break down the door. I’ve already called the police to deal with this.”
“Do we have no choice but to watch?” The hospital director broke out in cold sweat. “Where’s the spare key? Go to the security and get it!”
“Mr. Royden is on the way. What we need to do now is to calm Ms. Reece. Don’t agitate her anymore.” Miles looked at Jean with hesitation.
Jean smiled calmly. “I don’t mind leaving, but you should ask her if she allows me to leave.”
Gigi clenched her fists on the balcony. She shook her head and soon started screaming, “Don’t let her leave!”
Jean seemed to have expected this, making Miles even more suspicious of her.
He turned to the bodyguard behind him and said, “Keep looking for a way to open the door.”
“Understood.”
Gigi had been standing outside in the cold wind for more than ten minutes.
Ordinary people would find it unbearable. It was even worse for the pregnant Gigi.
Meanwhile, Jean sat on the couch. No one made her leave.
Gigi kept staring at Jean. She refused to look away even for a second.
Her eyes were full of hatred and fear.
Miles remained tensed as he looked at the two women.
Still, he was thankful Gigi stopped screaming about jumping off the balcony. Furthermore, the hospital staff worked with the police and set up an inflatable mattress below. The paramedics were also on standby.
However, it was still unsafe for a person to fall from such a height.
Moreover, Gigi was pregnant with Edgar’s baby.
Thus, the key personnel of the hospital rushed about under the hospital director’s orders. They waited nervously for updates on the matter, fearing something had happened to Gigi.
At this moment, the deputy hospital director rushed to the hospital director and said, “Dr. Roffe, there’s something…”
Dr. Roffe widened his eyes after listening to him. “Quick! Go and get ready!”
While everyone was sweating nervously, Gigi was nearly frozen in the cold. Throughout all this, Jean never even touched Gigi.
Miles had confirmed that after checking the surveillance footage. It made him even more confused.
What is Gigi afraid of?
Ten minutes later, Edgar walked in. He had a cold and intimidating expression as he glanced around the room. He saw Gigi pale from the cold and Miles was waiting for his instruction at the side.
Then, he saw Jean seated on the couch, enjoying the show.
“Edgar…”
Gigi’s eyes were full of tears. She pressed her body against the glass door and said, “Please save me.”
Jean suddenly arched an eyebrow and muttered, “Ms. Reece, you tried to kill yourself a moment ago. Why do you suddenly change your mind upon seeing Mr. Royden? Did his cold face stir up your desire to live?”
Gigi bit her lower lip and did not dare to argue with her.
Edgar seemed to realize something in an instant.
At the same time, a hospital staff arrived with the spare key. “Mr. Royden, I’m sorry. We should have been more careful. We will save Ms. Reece now.”
“Haha…”
Jean could not resist laughing.
Everyone looked at her strangely, including Edgar.
Jean covered her mouth and waved her hand. “It’s nothing. Don’t mind me. I suddenly remembered something funny.”
The others did not suspect anything and thought Jean was only there to watch.
However, Gigi was panicking. Her hands and feet were cold as ice when the nurse helped her to the bed.
“Who locked you on the balcony?”
Edgar took a step forward and looked at Gigi’s pale lips. “Speak.”
Even if Edgar were lenient toward Jean, he would never allow her to blatantly bully Gigi and her baby before him.
Jean turned slightly and looked over casually.
Gigi was about to say something, but she mediately became silent upon meeting Jean’s gaze.
“I… I accidentally locked myself out!”
Edgar’s eyes were bursting with fury. He said in a deep voice, “No one dares to bully you in my presence.”
The concern that Gigi had been hungering for was finally within her reach.
However, she forced herself to remain still and did not dare to move closer to him.
It was because Jean was holding Gigi’s phone.
She felt regret and hatred, but she could only swallow up those emotions and say nothing. If she said anything, Jean would give Edgar her phone.
Once that happened, would she still be able to marry Edgar?
She was certain that he would not want her anymore.
Other people also had no idea what had happened. Miles stepped forward and reported, “There’s nothing in the surveillance footage.”
Edgar stared at Gigi, but she refused to reveal anything. Thus, the matter remained unresolved.
Did Jean really have nothing to do with this?
Edgar turned around and looked at Jean sitting on the couch.
Jean blinked innocently. “I came here to apologize to Ms. Reece. After all, it was my fault that she nearly had a miscarriage. Oh, the flower basket is there.”
Jean had evidence, but Gigi had nothing.
After Jean had spoken, Gigi’s head drooped even lower.
Edgar’s gaze turned stern. He was about to order everyone to leave so that he could investigate.
However, Dr. Roffe rushed in with a psychiatrist.
“Mr. Royden, we are ready to carry out a psychological assessment on Ms. Reece.”
“There’s nothing wrong with me. Why would I need a psychological assessment?” Gigi looked up immediately.
Then, she glared at Jean and finally understood everything.
