Ex-husband’s Regret

Fortunately, Grandma fainted because she was overly anxious and under constant stress. After being so tense for such a long time and not eating or drinking properly, her body finally gave out. Overall, there wasn't any major problem.

Public hospitals were less well-equipped than private ones, and resources were tight, leaving only double- Occupancy rooms. Grandma and Ben were placed in the same room.

I had originally planned to transfer Grandma to a hospital under the Smith Group, but considering that she would want to see Ben's condition for herself at this critical moment, I decided not to go through with the

transfer.

Although Ben's surgery was successful, he needed to be monitored. A nurse was hired to take care of him, and family members had to be present to handle any emergencies, including signing documents and making payments. "How come Simone hasn't made a single move despite such a big incident?"

Jane stayed with me because managing both situations alone was challenging, and I needed someone I could trust.

I was anxious and instructed the bodyguards to keep a close watch on the entire floor.

"People are always glued to their phones nowadays. If someone is truly so busy that they couldn't even find time to charge their phone, it's likely deliberate."

Jane speculated, "Could it be that Simone is avoiding us because she's afraid Ben might die and has fled with the assets?"

Simone is ruthless and would do anything to achieve her goals. And her associate, Kevin, is clearly involved in the underworld. I even suspected they might have been involved in the accident.

After some thought, I shook my head, "It's unlikely. Ben's assets are small compared to the entire Shaw family. I think she would choose the Shaw family."

Jane agreed, "You're right. She's quite ambitious."

Noticing that I was struggling to keep my eyes open, she pointed to the sofa. "You should take a nap. I'll keep an eye on things."

Due to my pregnancy, I had been extremely sleepy lately. I always felt like I didn't get enough rest, and even trying to stay awake as difficult.

"Just for an hour. Wake me if anything happens."

Jane gave me an OK sign. "Don't be too tense. Maybe things aren't as complicated as you think."

It wasn't paranoia. It was just that Bethany was still in Frank's hands.

Ben had visited Grandma a few days ago and left in a fit of rage, leaving behind harsh words.

Simone wouldn't just sit idly regarding Bethany or the Shaw family's assets. Human greed wouldn't disappear easily.

I lay down but was still uneasy. "If anything seems off, call the bodyguards immediately."

Jane placed a pillow under my head and covered me with a light blanket, "Alright, alright. Sleep well. You know me. I get more alert at night. I'll definitely keep a close watch on Grandma." I finally managed to fall asleep, though I was still restless.

I had a very strange dream that was chaotic and lacked a clear storyline. The dream was full of unsettling and disjointed scenes.

The entire dream was set in a dark environment, and I felt trapped in a strange loop.

I heard very loud and disturbing noises and tried to wake up but couldn't!Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Then I saw Grandma, and as I was about to go to her, I saw her suddenly collapse into a pool of blood!

I woke up with a jolt and realized that the disturbing noises were not just part of the dream but were actually happening!

Simone's voice rang out sharply. "Get Frank here!"

My sleepiness vanished instantly. I focused and saw that Grandma, who should have been lying in bed, had been pushed to the window.

"What are you doing?" I was nearly overwhelmed with anger and shouted, "Simone, if you harm Grandma, I'll make sure you and your daughter pay for it!"

Simone laughed. "Even if Bethany and I were buried together, I'll make sure this old fool is dead as well. Instead of threatening me here, you'd better call Frank immediately!"

The other bodyguards, who had received the sudden alert, rushed in.

I felt somewhat more confident. "Aren't you looking for Frank because of Bethany?"

As I spoke, I looked around and didn't see Jane.

A bodyguard who had been with us from the beginning whispered in my ear, "Miss Greenwood was injured while trying to protect you and has gone to get treated."
