My Ex-wife's Hidden Personalities

Chapter 397 It’s All Because of Her

The next day.

After completing Edward’s physical examination, Freya heard the sound of the door opening behind her. She

narrowed her eyes.

Without turning around, she listened as the footsteps gradually approached her from behind.

“How is his condition today?” Jamie asked in a low voice.

Freya was calm as she replied, “Not good, but I have been researching, and there may be a new treatment plan.”

Jamie frowned. “What treatment?”

“If I tell you, you may not understand, but as long as you know that this plan is more feasible, it will be enough.”

Freya turned around to stare at Jamie with a serious expression. “I need a medical device, but it should be difficult

for you to obtain.”

His expression was indifferent. “Go ahead and tell me.

Freya mentioned the name and continued, “It is a newly researched medical device from Damford. It is very

sophisticated, but it’s very expensive, and ordinary people have no way to purchase it.”

People like Jamie, although they had power, still had to avoid the authorities.

Freya scrutinized him.

Jamie stared back at her. “How did you know about this machine?”

Freya was waiting for him to ask this question. “I have used this medical device before when I was researching my

brother’s illness.”

Her tone was calm, but her heart was trembling.

Jamie fell silent for a few seconds, then asked, “Where is that machine you mentioned?”

Freya replied, “It is in my previous medical studio, but the machine is too big. You probably can’t transport it here.

In that case, we can only come up with another plan.”

She could not be hasty.

Jamie was a meticulous and paranoid man. Being hasty meant he might find the holes in her story.

Silence fell. Moments later, Jamie suddenly smiled.

“Since you say the machine can help with Edward’s condition, I will transport it here no matter the cost. However, is

this machine really that useful, or are you just trying to escape?”

Freya sneered. “Are you always so cautious when it comes to anything related to Caltun? You’re a wary man, so it

would be your men retrieving it anyway. How am I involved? I have already said that if we can’t get it, we can

always look for another treatment plan.”

Her nails bit into the palm of her hand.

Jamie nodded. “Rest assured, Miss Kaufmann. The machine you requested will be delivered within three days.

However, if you are deceiving me, I will make you regret it.”

“What kind of regret are you talking about? Would you even kill me?” Freya deliberately retorted.

Suddenly, Jamie clamped down hard on her wrist.

With a frosty and sinister look on his face, Jamie said, “Of course, I won’t kill you. However, there are many things in

this world that can make people suffer more than death. Don’t you agree?”

Jamie’s hand wrapped around her waist, causing Freya’s whole body to stiffen as a wave of disgust surged through

her.

She raised her hand to slap him, but her wrist was weak and lacked strength, and she was immediately captured by

Jamie.

“I know you may be brave, Freya, but the other three

may not.”

Jamie lowered his gaze and reached out to grab Freya’s collar. He looked at her palm face for a moment and let out

a malicious chuckle before letting go of her.

“If I were to have my way with you here and send the recording to those in Caltun and Vroria, would your lover

Radley be furious? What about your grandmother? I hear her heart isn’t in the best condition.”

Freya’s face turned pale as she clenched her jaw. “Jamie, you truly disgust me!”

“Thank you for the compliment.” Jamie casually threw her aside as if nothing had happened. “Freya, insults like that

can’t hurt me. If you deceive me, I will make you and those three people regret it.”

Freya stumbled back a few steps before steadying herself by holding onto the end of the bed.

The feeling of disgust in her heart had not yet subsided when she heard the sound of the door closing with a bang.

Freya took a deep breath.

Both were from the Fraser family, but Edward was innocent and sunny, while Jamie was someone who did evil

without any shame..

She calmed her emotions and walked to the bed to continue checking on Edward.

For the past few days, she had been working on a treatment plan. Although it was only advanced-stage stomach

cancer, there were signs of metastasis in the cancer cells. She could only try to prolong his life so that he may live

just a little bit longer.

The machine she mentioned was a lie to deceive Jamie.

Freya closed her eyes. That machine was more advanced, and currently, only a few world-class hospitals

had it.

Moreover, it was a very complicated machine. Even if Jamie obtained it, it would be difficult to detect the embedded

chip for networking.

Freya calmed herself down and focused on Edward.

“Edward, you don’t want to keep on sleeping like this, right?”

She could not do anything about Edward’s condition for now, but she could not let him stay asleep either.

There were two reasons why Jamie kept Edward in a coma: his illness and the fear that Edward might find out what

he had done before.

Freya tightly pursed her lips, knowing that Edward’s time was running out.

There was one similarity between Jamie and her.

They both wanted Edward to get better.

That was an unrealistic wish. Thus, Edward should be spending the rest of his days awake and happy.

After she finished examining Edward, Freya turned and returned to the doctor’s office.

Inside the office, Lucius and Russell were still studying the data.

Lately, the two of them had been under a lot of pressure, often staying up all night to research late-stage gastric

cancer.

Lucius’ short hair was a mess and resembled a bird’s nest as he constantly ran his hand through his hair in

frustration.

“There have indeed been cases of recovery in history, but those are almost miracles that cannot be explained by

medicine.”

Russell nodded. “If you’re hoping for him to recover on his own, the chances are even lower than winning the

lottery jackpot.”

The air in the office was heavy. Freya glanced at Maddox, who was lying on the sofa.

Ever since Maddox discovered that Jamie had brought them here to treat Edward’s late-stage gastric cancer, he

had lost all hope. However, even if he did nothing, he still suffered from insomnia every day due to the emotional

weight and the threat of death.

Freya could empathize with him. After all, everyone had different levels of resilience, and this situation. had

surpassed what Maddox could handle.

It was understandable that he was breaking down.

Freya approached the sofa, speaking in a gentle tone, “Maddox, if you want to rest, go and take a break. It’s not

healthy to endure like this. Don’t exhaust yourself.”

back to your room.

Maddox looked up upon hearing her words.

Behind his wire-rimmed glasses, his eyes revealed a flicker of resentment.

Freya had been seeing this expression from him quite often lately and could only avoid his gaze.

Freya, what do you mean by that?” Maddox suddenly sat up from the sofa.

Lurus and Russell turned their attention to them, with Lucius furrowing his brows in a serious manner. “What are

you doing. Maddox? Miss Kaufmann was just being nice by suggesting you take a break”

Being nice: Maddox laughed in despair. “Don’t forget who is responsible for the predicament we are in

now!”
