Chapter 205

Ethan was so happy after hearing what Edmund said.

He was intentionally provoking Edmund because he didn't want to see his grandson give up so easily.

"So... How is Chelsea doing?" Ethan changed the topic with a faint smile.

"Not so good," Edmund answered sadly.

Ethan shook his head, sincerely feeling sorry for her. "She's been so unfortunate! Hilton and Garry arenot her family. She is all alone in the world, and doesn't have anyone to talk to when this type of thinghappens to her."

"Don't be so dramatic! She has a boyfriend and a good friend too," Edmund said, the jealousy obviousin his tone.

Ethan glanced at him knowingly and said, "Yeah, I forgot. She has a boyfriend."

The butler finished binding the gauze on Edmund's forehead. Edmund immediately stood up andwanted to leave. The last thing he wanted to do at this moment, was talk about Chelsea's boyfriendand with Ethan.

Ethan sighed and followed him to the door. "Now that you guys don't get along well, there's no reasonto be anxious, is there? Why don't you start by being an ordinary friend to her and trying to please her?Before you realize it, she'll fall in love with you again."

Edmund understood Ethan's strategy, and he had to admit that it could work. Maybe not anytime soon,

but it could work. With a nod in Ethan's direction, he sighed and left.

Although it was difficult for him to admit it, Ethan had helped ease his anxiety. He felt less worried thanhe did earlier on.

Ethan was absolutely right. Now that they were at this point, the only thing left to do was start over. Hewould start by being a friend to her, and hopefully, things would evolve with time.

As soon as Edmund left Ethan's house, he received a call from Brayan. "Your mother called me andasked me to defend Sonya. You know I can't do that. So, I told her that the next few months will be verybusy for me. So, I will go abroad and stay there for some time. I can take care of my cases from there."

Edmund said, "Okay!"

Brayan continued, "Also, I just called Chelsea. As I expected, she refused my help."

"Of course she did!" Edmund grunted and clenched his fists. He knew that Chelsea would never acceptany help from him.

Brayan sighed and added, "Yeah... And judging from her tone, she isn't doing very well. Should I sendsomeone to stay with her?"

She was kidnapped and almost raped. That was a very difficult ordeal for anyone to go through.

It was true that she was saved before anything terrible could be done to her. But still, what she hadgone through was traumatic. Brayan couldn't imagine how she felt when she was tied in that dark

warehouse. How could such a kind girl go through something so cruel?

Brayan didn't necessarily like Chelsea because she tricked Edmund into sleeping with her, but she wasa kind person, and she was loyal to his husband. Because of that, he couldn't hold anything againsther.

In fact, Brayan's attitude towards Chelsea had changed for the better. His concern for her was genuine.

"Yes, thank you," Edmund said dejectedly.

In the hospital, the doctor had told him to pay attention to Chelsea's psychological health, and he hadtried to get the best for her.

But as stubborn as she was, she would definitely refuse to be seen by the doctor he got for her.

He thought of a way to make her get the psychological guidance she needed without her replaceing out itwas from him, but before he could make it happen, something happened to Chelsea.

In the evening, Edmund was having dinner with Yusuf.

In order to avoid any suspicions, Brayan went abroad with his wife this afternoon. That way, Alenawouldn't replace him when she came looking.

Suddenly, Edmund's phone rang. It was a call from Chris. "Chelsea was just rushed to our hospital.She is running a high fever. I think it was provoked by what happened during the day."

"What? What happened?" Edmund stood up abruptly. He grabbed his car keys and was almost out ofthe door when Chris said, "There's no need coming here, Edmund. Luka brought her in, so she hascompany. He said that he knocked on her door for long before she eventually opened up for him. Butby that time, she already had a high fever."

Edmund halted and held the phone tightly. He was in so much pain that he couldn't say a single word.

He knew that she wasn't very well, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. When Edmund didn't sayanything for some time, Chris hung up.

Although Chris had advised him against going, Edmund still rushed out of the door. He had to get to thehospital!

"What are you doing? Chris said that Luka was with her, right?" Yusuf shouted to Edmund's back.

"It doesn't matter! Since when it is illegal to visit someone with a boyfriend?" With that, Edmund headedstraight to the car.

Exasperated, Yusuf threw his hands up in the air and followed Edmund. Sure, it wasn't illegal, but itwas definitely embarrassing.

But of course, Edmund didn't care at all about his pride and dignity. He acted as though he had nothingto lose.

When they got to the hospital, Chelsea was already settled in a ward, and was receiving an infusionthat was going to help bring her fever down.

Luka stood by her bed and looked at her with a sad expression on his face. But the moment he sawEdmund at the door, his demeanour changed to an angry one. He didn't even let Edmund put in a wordbefore he strode up to him and punched him hard.
