Ex-husband’s Regret

Boom-

As the scream rang out, an explosion echoed.

In an instant, the banquet hall erupted into chaos.

I instinctively protected my abdomen, but as I tried to escape, If

myself in a familiar, warm embrace.

"Frank-"

The smell of something burnt flooded my nostrils, and another explosion sounded, people scattered in panic, creating more chaos. "Oh my God, it's sulfuric acid!"

The screams around me heightened everyone's fear.

People fled in a frenzy, crowding me and Frank so we couldn't move.

Christine was like a madwoman, completely disregarding the crowd.

Some were splashed, causing even more uproar.

Just as I saw Christine rushing towards me, in a critical moment, Alan pushed through the crowd and restrained her.

But he was also burned in the process.

"Charlotte, are you okay?"

I forced myself to stay calm. "I'm fine, quickly take Frank to the hospital!"

Prof. Kilburn and Dr. Travis also arrived and got into our car.

After we rushed Frank to the emergency room, I felt dizzy.

""Charlotte!"

Jane, who had come running, steadied me.

I hadn't noticed her safety earlier and was about to check on her when I suddenly heard her scream," Doctor-"

I lost track of what happened next, overwhelmed by the cacophony around me.

Everything went black, and I fainted.

When I came to, I realized I wasn't in the hospital.

I immediately placed my hand on my abdomen.

12 weeks in, and while it wasn't showing, I could still feel the baby.

I sighed in relief, got out of bed, and surveyed my surroundings.

It looked like a room on a cruise ship.

Before I could make sense of things, the door opened,

1 instinctively pulled the blanket over myself, and when the person's face came into view, I was horrified.

"How come it's you?"

At the hospital.

Frank was stabilized and out of danger, but his back had serious burn

I would likely scar.

However, that wasn't the most serious issue today.

"Have you found her yet?" Jane was pacing anxiously. "I saw her enter the emergency room, how could she just vanish?"

Zachary had already sent people to investigate, and Alan was handling matters despite his injuries.

If they didn't find Charlotte before Frank woke up from anesthesia, he would definitely go crazy.

Seeing Jane's anxious expression, Zachary couldn't help but say, "Calm down..."

"How can I calm down?" Jane's eyes were bloodshot. "If you hadn't pulled me back, if I had saved Charlotte, Frank would be fine, and she wouldn't have disappeared!"

Zachary's expression was grim. "If I hadn't pulled you back, that falling chandelier would have killed you."

"Stop arguing." Alana's carefully chosen dress and her makeup, done early that morning, were now in disarray. "No matter how much we argue, the incident has already happened. Right now, what's more important is thinking about how to explain this to Frank." Alex draped his jacket over Alana, he had just come from Yasmin's ward.

Yasmin was stable and just waiting to wake up.

Today's banquet was hosted by Yasmin, and as her brother, he needed to handle the aftermath.

Alex said, "Call me if anything comes up."Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Alana looked at him. "Danny hasn't woken up yet."

Alex replied, "Today's situation is complex, the whole banquet hall has been blown up. I have to deal with it. Call me when Danny wakes up."

There was sound of thunder.

Dark clouds rolled in, and the howling wind whipped the rain, turning the day into night.
