Ex-husband’s Regret

Chapter

I turned around and leaned into his arms, nodding slightly. I looked up at him and muttered, "You'll get what you want soon enough."

He cocked his brows playfully. "If we can't get what we want, we'll do everything to make it happen."

"Pervert." I laughed.

He dropped his casual demeanor, gently patting my back with a comforting tone. "I'll go with you for the check-up tomorrow."

"1 was planning to buy a pregnancy test kit in a few days..."

He whispered, "But I can't wait."

I could sense Frank's eagerness for this child, and I was excited too, Having a child connected by blood: with someone I love. If it weren't for all the troubles at hand... But since the heavens had given us a gift, I would choose to accept it.

"Okay."

The next morning, the first thing I did after getting up and washing was to go see Grandma.

I didn't expect that Frank had already come back from walking with her.

"Up so early?"

I couldn't tell if he was praising me or subtly implying I could sleep more. I shot him a glance and went over to help Grandma, reproaching her. "Why didn't you call me?" Frank tidied my hair that I hadn't had time to fix, his relaxed voice tinged with affection, "You were snoring, how could I disturb your sweet dreams?"

"You're the one snoring." I complained to Grandma, "Grandma, he's bullying me, you have to teach him a lesson!

"Oh?" Grandma laughed lightly, pretending to be confused. "Who's bullying you? Frank? It looks more like you're the one bullying him to me."© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Grandma!" I shook Grandma's arm, feeling aggrieved. "Are you really my grandma?"

"Of course I am."

Grandma pinched my cheek. "Alright, you young lovers don't need to show off in front of me. Go and do your own thing."

Although Frank and I had planned to go for a check-up, seeing Grandma looking obviously worn out but putting on a brave face for my sake made me not want to go anywhere. I just wanted to stay by her side.

Frank noticed what I was thinking but didn't give in. He coaxed me, "Grandma has Julie by her side. We'll be back soon, okay?"

I knew he was also worried about my health, or else we wouldn't have only done it once last night.

Since that was the case, it was better to get a check-up so that we could both be reassured.

I looked at Grandma and said softly, "Grandma, after you finish breakfast, make sure to rest. I'll come back as soon as I'm done."

"Oh, I'm fine. You go ahead with what you need to do. Stop nagging me, you're making me dizzy."

Grandma was also trying to reassure me, so I didn't say more and went to wash up and change.

Frank drove us himself.

He held the steering wheel with one hand and my hand with the other, his thumb gently rubbing the back of my hand.

The autumn sun streamed softly through the window.

This scene, inexplicably, made the passage of time seem peaceful, even though there were still many troublesome matters. But selfishly, I wanted to savor this moment of tranquility.

When we arrived at the hospital and waited for the test results, my heart couldn't help but be on edge.

Frank noticed my anxiety and held my hand.

But I felt a slight dampness in his palm, realizing he wasn't as calm as he seemed, just good at hiding it. "Mr. Smith."

Soon, the hospital director personally brought over the test results.

When Jack came to the hospital to change his bandages, the nurses were a bit surprised.

"Mr. Renolds, didn't you just change these yesterday? The next change should be tomorrow."

"Sorry." Jack smiled apologetically and explained, "I accidentally soaked it in water showering this morning and I'm worried that the wound would be infected.

"I see." The nurse nodded and said, "Then come with me."

With that, she led Jack into the dressing room.
