Ex-husband’s Regret

"I had Kevin, also known as K, try to find a way to get the antidote."

I was surprised. "He agreed?"

"Hmm, but the chances are slim. We need to make additional preparations."

Frank raised his hand, gently smoothing the frown on my forehead with his thumb. "Besides that, Uncle has already asked Dr. Travis to think of ways to delay the onset of the poison. Additionally, your mother and I have arranged for Grandma's blood to be sent to top research Institutes abroad. As long as there is enough time, they should be able to develop an antidote." "Charlotte, trust me, Grandma will be fine."

I looked into his brown eyes, feeling a sense of calmness wash over me. Like when I was a child, I reached out and ruffled his hair. "Frank, thank you."

The next day, I had finished washing up before the doctor came for the rounds.

Yesterday, I urged Frank to go home and get a good night's sleep, but he refused and insisted on staying with me on the sofa for the night.

After the doctor finished checking on Grandma, he called Frank out to discuss Grandma's condition.

I was about to follow when Jane arrived, bringing breakfast with her. As she handed me the breakfast, she asked, "Did you and Frank stay in the hospital all night?

"Yeah." I nodded, setting the breakfast down and looking at her. "Why are you here so early? This isn't like your usual routine."

"I wanted to come yesterday, but I figured you'd be overwhelmed, and I wouldn't be much help. It's better to let you sort things out first." Jane placed a cup of packed coffee in front of me. "Your period is about to start, so I didn't add ice. How's Grandma now? Did you get the antidote?"

"No." I took a sip of the coffee and briefly explained the situation. "I just don't know who's behind all this."

"Does the Shaw family have any enemies?"

Jane frowned. "Otherwise, who would get involved in another family's inheritance struggle?"

I

I shook my head. "Yeah, we can't figure out the person's motives. We can only take it step by step."

"As long as there's a motive, it will eventually be revealed." Jane tapped my head and opened the breakfast. "For now, just eat your breakfast."

"I eat it later."

"Later? What for?"

"Frank"

"You two and your clinginess. Luckily, I came prepared and bought enough."Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Jane sighed. "But this time, it's really thanks to him and Jack."

I nodded. "Yes, when we have some free time, you should join me to treat Jack to a meal."

Jane glanced toward the door and asked, "Where's Frank? Isn't he coming too?"

"Of c

"Of course he is."

If he didn't go, there would be trouble. It was precisely because of this that Jane's presence was needed to mediate the atmosphere. Frank and Jack never quite got along.

Jane raised an eyebrow, suddenly recalling something, and her expression became a bit grim. "You haven't seen what's happening online, have you?"

I was curious. "What's going on?"

I had been so focused on worrying about Grandma's health yesterday that I hadn't looked at my phone. and had no idea what was happening online.

Jane's tone was unpleasant as she spoke. "It all started with Frank's father collapsing and being hospitalized. Someone online leaked that it was due to a woman, meaning you. Many people who don't know the full story have been attacking both of you, especially you." "Collapsed?"

"Don't worry. His father is probably fine. If there were any real issues, it would likely have been exploited to damage Frank's reputation through public opinion."

I frowned and picked up my phone. "I'll see what's being said online."

"There's not much left to see."

Jane didn't stop me but said, "Your family and Frank must have taken action. As soon as the situation started to heat up last night, several forces worked together to suppress it. The account that leaked the recording has already been shut down." "Damn, who are these people? They managed to shut down so many accounts so quickly."

"It's Frank's doing. The Smith family has power and influence. Shutting down a few accounts is nothing."

"A real man, protecting his wife with strength."

"It's clear what kind of person one could be if she relied only on men. Frank is a rich playboy, what kind of women hasn't he seen? That divorced women will be abandoned in a couple of days. She would definitely be crying when that happens."
