Ex-husband’s Regret

Region Gardens was not far from the hospital.

Frank didn't intend to sleep, but after my insistence, he closed his eyes and took a short nap. Even such a brief rest was enough for him to fall asleep, which showed just how exhausted he was.

I didn't want to wake him, since there were bodyguards with us.

However, as soon as the car came to a stop, he woke up, instinctively gripping my hand and protecting me as I got out of the car.

He had informed the hospital director in advance, so the check-up went quickly.

While waiting for the results, Frank, concerned that I might overthink things, started talking about the Shaw family's situation. "Simone knew I wouldn't let them off, so after that night, she poisoned Ben and forced him to sign the asset transfer agreement."

I didn't react much to the news. Ben brought this upon himself. I only asked, "Does he know about Simone and Kevin? And that Bethany is their daughter?"

Frank shook his head. "It was all staged. Kevin kidnapped Simone and Bethany, forced Ben to sign the agreement, and he thought the poison was from Kevin, not Simone."

I couldn't help but smile slightly. "He really loved Simone."

Frank held my hand and played with it. "Given the situation, you don't need to dwell on it too much."

"Charlotte!"

Jane ran over, excited. "Grandma! Grandma wants to see you!"

I didn't immediately grasp what she said. "What?"

"Grandma wants to see you!"

When I finally realized, I was overjoyed and quickly went with Frank to Grandma's ward. "Grandma recognizes me?"

Jane was also thrilled. "Yes! I went to check on Grandma, and she asked me where you were. So I rushed

to find you."

At that moment, my heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly settled. I turned my head away, feeling like I might cry.

Frank, as if expecting this, reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of my eyes. "If you cry like this, it will make me feel heartbroken."

Jane looked like she had seen enough of this emotional scene, but I nodded earnestly, trying to control my emotions. "You're right!"

I couldn't let him worry about me any further.

"Why are you crying?" Once inside the ward, Grandma saw the tears on my face and asked anxiously, "Are you uncomfortable because of the pregnancy?"

I wanted to speak but feared that if I opened my mouth, the well-regulated emotions might collapse, and the tears would start flowing uncontrollably. To avoid making Grandma worry, I just shook my head. Jane, looking worried, said, "Grandma, I heard that emotions can be unstable during pregnancy. You're

sick, so it's normal for Charlotte to be worried."

Grandma remembered the kidnapping incident herself, so we couldn't hide it from her.

She touched my head with a very loving gaze and said, "It's my fault for making Lily worry."

I shook my head vigorously.

Grandma wiped my tears and said, "Don't cry. Crying too much during pregnancy can be very hard on your eyes. Our Lily's beautiful eyes shouldn't be ruined by tears."

"It would be such a pity, wouldn't it?"

I wiped away the tears, took a deep breath, and finally managed to speak. "I'm not crying anymore. Grandma, you're fine, so I shouldn't cry. I should be happy."

"Good girl." Grandma squeezed my hand. "I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore."Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Then I'll take you home."

"Alright."

While I was changing Grandma's clothes, Frank went to ask Prof. Kilburn about her condition.

Back at Region Gardens, after a quick tidy-up, Grandma was feeling tired and went to bed.

I looked at Frank, who had just finished a work call and was sitting down on the sofa. I poured him a glass of water and then sat down beside him.
