Chapter 25 After experiencing several near - death situations , what she hated the most was the attitude of people like him who didn't take human life seriously . Countless times she was brought back from the brink of death , but he treated it as a harmless joke , a means to satisfy his own purposes . It was truly disgusting and repulsive ! Edgar had long been numb with pain , and seeing her like this still couldn't help but feel a little flustered and pained in his heart . " I'm sorry , Stephanie … I'm sorry … I didn't mean to … It's just that I couldn't handle it … I couldn't comfort you … " His body was extremely weak , and every word he spoke almost drained him of all his strength . Even though he was covered in blood , he still managed to reach out his hand , trying to touch Stephanie's hand , as if he had done countless times before , holding her hand and comforting her in his arms . However , Stephanie withdrew her hand coldly , only helped him make the emergency call and took him to the hospital , " Stephanie …… Stephanie ! " Edgar was taken onto the ambulance by the paramedics , still gazing persistently in the direction where she was , calling out her name . Stephanie felt extremely exhausted . At that moment , Zayden appeared beside her and softly said , " Continuing like this could potentially affect the outcome of your experiment . You may need to find a way to make him completely give up . " 15.10 Chapter 25 " Do you have any ideas ? " Stephanie turned her head to ask him , adding , " I have already contacted his parents and family , but unfortunately it was of no help . There is nothing he can't accomplish . " " As long as you don't want it , then he definitely won't be able to do it , he said firmly , staring directly into her eyes and holding her gaze . " Before Stephanie could react , Zayden pulled out a velvet ring box from his chest pocket . Opening the ring box , inside were a pair of simple yet beautiful rings . " Marry me , we agreed to get married and let him completely give up . " Stephanie stood frozen in place , taking a long time to process what he had said . In order to reassure her and make her worry less , he added a few more sentences : " This project is very important . Professor Wilcox is getting old, so all he can do is help us keep track of the direction , provide ideas and check the results . Most of it will depend on the two of us leading the others to complete it . " " I wanted to focus all my attention on completing this project without being disturbed by anyone , especially Edgar . Upon hearing his words , Stephanie gradually let go of her worries . She was not confident enough to think that it was her own charm that was too great , now this is more in line with Zayden's personality . During this time , she also knew that Zayden was a research fanatic , eager to spend every minute in the lab . It is possible that he will only relax for a while after this project ends , and think about the future direction . Therefore , agreeing to marry him seemed like a good idea , as if it was a partnership . 15.10 Chapter 25 Stephanie pondered for a moment and agreed to Zayden's idea . Hechery She also took the ring and put it on herself , then took his hand and helped him put it on . " To avoid any unexpected changes , we have now found someone to draft a marriage agreement . Let's take a leave of absence and get married in our home country ! " She said decisively . Zayden was stunned for a moment before slowly nodding . " Okay . " The two people's thoughts were extremely consistent , and the marriage agreement , which was well communicated , was also very simple . The marriage would automatically be dissolved after the end of this project . They flew back to their country overnight , signed the marriage agreement , and then rushed to the City Hall with their personal documents . Two marriage certificates were just issued , Stephanie and Zayden both felt like they were dreaming . However , in order to make Edgar completely give up , they rested for a while after returning to France , changed into couple outfits , and went hand in hand to Edgar's ward .
