Ex-husband’s Regret

I slowly ate the food that Frank was feeding me.

While feeding me, Frank instructed, "The doctor said you need to rest well. After you're discharged, stay at home with Grandma. If you can't reach me, don't go anywhere." I nodded.

There would definitely be more troubles ahead.

Right now, I could do nothing but try not to hold Frank back.

I looked up at his reddened eyes. "Why haven't you been answering my calls today?"

"I was so busy that I didn't have time to return your calls."

Hearing this, Frank instinctively began to explain. I sighed. "So you haven't even had time to eat?"

Frank's lips curved into a pleased smile. "I thought you were going to accuse me, but it turns out you're concerned about me?"

took the spoon from his hand, fed him some food, and said, "Why would I accuse you? More than anything else, I'm concerned about your health."

Frank swallowed the food in his mouth, cocked his brows slightly, and said meaningfully, "Don't worry. My health will ensure your happiness.'

It was strange how the word "happiness" sounded when he said it.

I gave him a sideways glance and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened at the Smith family? What trouble did Mr. Smith give you this time?"

Frank put down the wonton and used a tissue to wipe the corner of my mouth. "These aren't things you should be worrying about right now. The usual, just trust me."

"If he pushes me too far one day, I can always..."

I quickly covered Frank's mouth, "Don't say such things

Given the increasing conflict and estrangement between him and Mr. Smith, I could guess that his remark was definitely not a good one.

Today, the reason he hadn't been answering the phone was likely because of Mr. Smith's interference.

"Be careful what you say in front of the baby, got it?"

"Okay."

Frank, helpless, continued to feed me food. I stopped him, "I can eat by myself. You should eat too." Frank insisted.

I smiled at him. "Thanks to the baby, even Frank is serving me like this."

Frank shot me a sideways glance and smiled. "When haven't I been serving you?"

It was hard not to read between the lines.

1 felt my face flush and quickly changed the topic. "I'm not worried, but at least you should tell me what happened."

Frank's eyes turned cold. "I was just catching a spy."

"Why is it that every time something happens on my side, the Smith family also..."

"Pretty smart."

Frank praised me, but his gaze remained grave.

I immediately understood. "Does Mr. Smith have something to do with Simone kidnapping Grandma?"

Frank nodded. "He knows the director of the First Infirmary."

After finishing the food, Frank took a phone call while I went to check on Grandma.

Frank knew I wouldn't be able to rest easy until I saw Grandma, so her hospital room was right next door.

Grandma was still asleep. As I approached to adjust her blanket, she suddenly grasped my hand and seemed to be murmuring something.

I leaned in closer.

"Lily, my Lily..."

Hearing her call my name, I squeezed her hand gently and whispered, "Grandma, I'm here. I'm here."

The next moment, Grandma suddenly opened her eyes.

"Grandma, you're awake? Are you thirsty? I'll get you some water."

As I spoke, I was about to pull my hand away to fetch the water for her.

Unexpectedly, Grandma moved faster and pushed my hand away.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
