Ex-husband’s Regret

Frank patted my head and said, "I'll handle it. Don't worry. You can't get too emotional right now."

"Charlotte!" Jane suddenly shouted, startling me.

Frank, who had been maintaining his usual calm, immediately panicked when he followed Jane's gaze.

I had never seen such a helpless expression on his face before.

The next moment, Frank quickly picked me up. I could feel the wetness between my legs. Blood was already streaming down them.

I grabbed his arm. "The baby..."

"It'll be alright," Frank said in a serious tone, trying to reassure both me and himself.

Being so close to him, I could clearly feel the irregularity in his heartbeat...

As we entered the emergency room, I saw his hand shaking.

Jane was injured and had difficulty walking. Zachary, for some reason, was moving slower than usual.

She looked at the man ahead of her and couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you answer my calls?"

Zachary remained indifferent. "It was too late. It wasn't convenient."

Jane's temper flared up immediately. "Do you know that I had an urgent matter?"

Zachary's expression remained indifferent. "I think you could have sent me a message. I would have replied when I saw it."

Jane wanted to curse but fell silent instead.

Zachary's eyes flickered slightly but he remained quiet.

As they reached the emergency room door, Zachary received a call and then said to Frank, "I have something to attend to. Call me if you need any help."Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Frank glanced at the time and said, "Take Jane home first."

Jane immediately protested. "I'm not leaving. I want to make sure Charlotte is alright."

Seeing that he wasn't needed here, Zachary turned and left.

Frank said nothing more, his eyes fixed on the light above the rescue room, his gaze bloodshot and wild, like a trapped beast.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before the emergency room door opened.

Frank rushed forward in two big steps, "Doctor, how is the situation?"

"Don't worry. The adult is fine, and the baby is safe too.

The doctor added, "But you must be careful. No more emotional stress or strenuous activities. You need proper rest. Otherwise, it will be difficult to ensure safety next time." Frank nodded, finally letting out a long sigh of relief, "Okay, we will be careful."

I had another dream.

I dreamt that Grandma left me, and the baby left me too.

I woke up after being startled by my dream, and upon opening my eyes, I found myself in a familiar and comforting embrace.

Frank gently soothed me. "You were dreaming. It was just a dream. Don't be afraid."

I was still in shock, quickly piecing together the memories, and instinctively reached to touch my stomach. "Our baby..."

Frank placed his large hand over mine and said softly, "The baby is fine, but you need to rest well."

I gradually calmed down. "What about Grandma?"

"Grandma is fine too. She's had her checkup and medication, and is now sleeping peacefully." Frank answered methodically, even continuing without me having to ask, "Jane is also resting in her ward." Only then did I look around and realize we had been moved to a different hospital.

We were now in a VIP room at a hospital affiliated with the Smith family.

I was a bit concerned. "How are Jane's injuries?"

"I've consulted specialists who will provide her with the best treatment. She will be fine."

"..."

While I was speaking, Frank leaned down, pressing his forehead against mine, his voice very gentle. "What else do you want to ask?"

"I'm hungry."

He chuckled softly. "Everything is ready."

He signaled to the bodyguard at the door to bring in the food.

Then, with his distinctly large fingers, he lifted the lid, and began feeding me.

The food was from my favorite restaurant.

With the baby safe, and Grandma and Jane taken care of, I finally relaxed and found my appetite returning.
