Ex-husband’s Regret

"This isn't right..." I just felt something was off.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Ryan pressed, "What's not right?"

I concentrated for a moment. "Grandpa usually takes his medicine immediately when he feels unwell. Generally, he can recover. How did he just collapse this time?"

"Yes, whenever Grandpa came for his check-ups, I noticed he always had medicine ready in his pockets. If he had taken it in time today, it wouldn't have been so serious," the hospital director remarked. I looked coldly at Ryan. "Where's Jessica?"

"She's resting in the ward."

After Ryan answered, his face darkened, and he asserted, "You suspect her? That's impossible. Despite her temper, she's not malicious. Besides, she's always obedient in front of Grandpa.”

Upon hearing this, for the first time, I couldn't contain my anger.

Would someone with no malicious intent persistently try to seduce another woman's husband? I knew better than to try and wake someone pretending to be asleep.

Feeling too lazy to argue with him, I turned to the director. "Is Grandpa's clothing, the one he was wearing when he arrived at the hospital, still around? Could you please check if there's any medicine in the pockets?"

The director immediately instructed a doctor behind him to do so.

It didn't take long before the doctor returned. "There's nothing. Mr. Fu's pockets were empty."

"That's impossible. Grandpa always had medicine in the pockets of the coat he often wore. After every wash, the servants would put the medicine back before hanging it in the cloakroom. I always checked, Albert explained seriously.

The well-being of Grandpa was a big deal for the Frost family, and no one would be careless about it.

I thought of a possibility, and my whole body broke out in a cold sweat. I went straight to the ward!

I could guess which ward Jessica was in! St. Heart Hospital has three VIP rooms reserved specifically. Jessica's mother occupied one long-term, so Jessica must be there too.

"Charlotte!" Ryan hurriedly caught up. "Where are you going?"

"Let go of me!"

1 felt my blood was flowing backwards, and my emotions were reaching their breaking point. I pushed him

away fiercely,

had never shown such a temper in front of Ryan before, and he was stunned.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I went straight into the elevator and upstairs.

Pushing open the door of the ward, Jessica didn't look the slightest bit uncomfortable. She was leisurely reclining on the sofa, legs propped up on the coffee table, eating from a plate of fruit.

Knowing she was hospitalized, someone unfamiliar with the situation might have thought she was on vacation at a five-star hotel.

Startled by my sudden entrance, she quickly took her legs down. "What are you doing? You scared the baby in my belly..."

"Did you take Grandpa's medicine?"

I walked in directly, cutting her off.

She froze for a moment, looking at me in disbelief. "Do you think I wanted to harm Grandpa?"

*Just answer me, where did Grandpa's medicine go?"

"I... how would I know? Maybe Grandpa took it out himself and put it somewhere else, or maybe it fell out when he was brought to the hospital!"

At her words, I also paused.

Yes.

The whole process of Grandpa being brought to the hospital was crowded and chaotic. It was not impossible for the medicine to have fallen out of his pocket. Maybe I was being too extreme.

I sighed lightly. “Grandpa's affairs are best left unrelated to you."

"If it concerns me, what are you going to do? Playing detective now..."

Jessica sneered, then suddenly changed her expression, clutching her stomach and sitting down heavily on the sofa, as if in great discomfort.

I was alarmed. Just as I was about to call for a doctor, Ryan barged in, kneeling in front of her. "Are you okay? I'll call the doctor." (1
