Ex-husband’s Regret

I immediately realized something. "By the way, how is your wound healing? I've been staying with Grandma these past few days and haven't had a chance to visit you." Feeling a bit embarrassed, I noted that he had been injured for my sake, and yet I hadn't even visited him.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious.

Jack seemed to sense that I might feel guilty and downplayed it. "It should be mostly healed in a while. Grandma's condition is the real issue. By the way, how is she?"

My expression grew slightly somber, "We've managed to delay the onset of the poison for now, but I don't know if we can wait for the antidote to be developed."

"Developing an antidote?" Jack looked surprised. "Wasn't the antidote with that K last time? With Frank's methods, he should be able to deal with him."

"Jack, are you here at the hospital to change the dressing, or are you here specifically to check on Charlotte?" Jane changed the subject with a smile and teased, "Speaking of which, Charlotte is really fortunate. Even though she's going through such a big issue, she has such a good fiance like Frank and two good friends like us. I'm starting to envy her!"

I could sense the underlying meaning in her words. Not to mention, someone as perceptive as Jack, who originally intended to mediate, was gently tugged by Jane.

I also understood that she was doing it not only for my sake but for Jack's as well, so I stayed silent.

Jack chuckled and spoke candidly, "It's both. Changing the dressing follows medical advice, and caring about Charlotte is a friend's obligation."

"Thank you, Jack."

I wanted to remind him to take care of his injury, but he received a phone call just then. I quickly said with a smile, "You can go ahead with your call. Jane and I are going to check on the company. When you have some free time, I'll treat you to a meal to thank you for saving my life."

He smiled warmly. "Alright, then I'll accept your offer."

Once we were in the elevator, Jane sighed.

"If it weren't for Frank, Jack would indeed be a really good person."

I shrugged and said, "Then why did you just make things awkward for him?"

"I'm doing it for his own good." Jane sighed with concern. "Having obsessions isn't wrong, but if they go too deep, they might end up harming both others and oneself."

Hearing this, I laughed lightly. "Jack isn't the type to get overly worked up."

Whether it was when I told Jack I had a boyfriend, or when he saw Frank the other day, or even just now when Jane pointed it out, he had always been quite composed. Jane raised an eyebrow, "That's certainly the best outcome. At least you can still be friends."

"By the way, is your stomach feeling any better?" she asked with concern.

"It still hurts a bite at the date. "I'll wait a couple of days. If my period doesn't come, I'll get an

appointment to check it out."

With no one else in the elevator, she suddenly asked with a meaningful look, "Have you and Frank taken any precautions?"NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

I was momentarily stunned and then suddenly realized something and my mind went blank!

Last time... I had planned to buy contraceptive pills, but with Grandma's situation being so urgent, I was focused entirely on her condition and completely forgot about contraception! Jane, who knows me well, understood immediately from my expression. "You didn't use contraception?"

"Got so busy, I forgot..."

Suddenly recalling this, coupled with the delay in my period, I felt a pang of panic.

The Shaw and Smith families were still in a mess. Getting pregnant at this juncture might not be good for either us or the child.

But I quickly calmed down, 1'll buy a pregnancy test in a few days to check. It probably won't be that coincidental."
