Ex-husband’s Regret

When Jane learned about Grandma's condition, she was somewhat incredulous.

"How could this happen?"

Seeing my downcast mood, she comforted me. "The world is unpredictable. However, Grandma has supported the Shaw family, which shows how strong and stable she is deep down. So, you don't need to worry too much. With Prof. Kilburn and Dr. Travis around, even if they can't cure her, they can at least stabilize her condition. Grandma has always been so good to you. I believe she wouldn't just forget you."

I couldn't be that optimistic. "Grandma might not forget, but this illness is so irrational."

Jane was somewhat familiar with Alzheimer's disease. Elderly people with this condition could undergo drastic personality changes and it was common for them to become violent. They often refused to listen. to anything and may wander off alone, sometimes would get lost if they reached the streets or other dangerous places.

Taking care of someone with this illness was much more challenging than with an ordinary condition.

"I know you're feeling really upset right now."

Jane held my hand, "But you're pregnant and shouldn't be too worried. Remember what the doctor said about needing to rest."

"I haven't forgotten..."This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

It was just that everything had happened so fast, one problem after another.

I thought all the gloom was behind us, and that Frank and I could live a stable life.

But after getting pregnant, things have become even more difficult.

"Even if it was the worst case scenario where Grandma insists on looking for Ben, we'll find another way."

"Worrying now is pointless."

Jane mentioned the baby, and I touched my belly, feeling uncomfortable. I had just experienced the panic of almost losing the baby.

Even though I was worried about Grandma, I had to stay calm.

"Thank you, Jane." I touched her injured shoulder. "Does it hurt?"

Jane brushed it off. "I'm no pushover, so it's no big deal if it's on my shoulder. I'm just grateful it didn't hit my heart."

"When I saw Ben getting up and heading towards you, my heart almost stopped."

"First, I was shocked that he wasn't hurt. Second, I was shocked that he actually wanted to hurt you. Even

a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs!"

I was shocked to hear this. "Was it Ben who injured you?"

Jane hesitated. "Well, um, I'm tired..."

"Frank told you not to tell me, right?" I asked.

Jane slapped her mouth. "I always let things slip,"

I held her hand. "Tell me. I can handle it. If you only tell me part of it, I'll just end up speculating."

"But you can't tell Frank. Otherwise, he'll most likely hold a grudge against me."

"I promise." I nodded quickly. "Am I really that twisted, needing you guys to fight for me to be happy?"

Jane felt reassured and advised, "Anyway, you have no feelings for Ben beyond blood ties, so treat him as a stranger from now on."

I nodded.

Seeing that I was somewhat stable, Jane continued, "If Ben hadn't suddenly attacked you, how could Simone have succeeded? You had so many bodyguards."

since you were pregnant. Everyone's attention was on you."

"Everyone was shocked at the time, especiall "And the bodyguards took me to get bandaged, leaving Simone an opportunity." "By the way, I owe you an apology. I promised to take good care of Grandma." Looking at her injuries, I felt only guilt. "I should be the one apologizing..."

"Nonsense!" Jane poked my head. "Think about it, which is more valuable, your shoulder or mine? I work in the market, so a little injury on my arm is nothing. But you're a designer. If your arm is damaged, the whole Charlotte Jewelry will be in trouble." "Then I'll have to live a bit more frugally, so it's not like I'm getting injured for you, but for my own prosperous life, okay?"

"And even if there should be apologies, Ben is the one who should apologize. I still don't understand what has Simone been giving him to make him turn against his own mother."
