Ex-husband’s Regret

Frank's attitude made him feel even more guilty.

"I was indeed careless, I admit to my mistake."

"Is this really the time to admit mistakes?"

Frank returned to the ward, taking a few steps while cold sweat poured down.

The sweat seeped into his wounds, making his lips turn pale from the pain.

Zachary followed behind, saying, "I'll definitely find her and bring her back in one piece. You can't let your injuries worsen, if they get infected, you could die."

Frank ignored him and walked around the room, asking Zachary, "Where's my phone?"

Knowing Frank's personality, Zachary didn't try to persuade him further and handed him the phone.

Frank called Alan.

Alan had already felt guilty due to the chemical plant explosion.

He had been looking for a chance to make up for it.

Now it seemed to be a case of mistakes compounding,

Alan answered, "Frank."

"Any leads?"

Alan knew what he was asking about and immediately replied, "No. The hospital's surveillance footage has been deleted. I checked the highways, airports, and train stations, now I'm heading to the docks." Frank scoffed.

They had arranged everything so meticulously and even deleted the hospital's surveillance footage.

After the last incident with his grandma, the hospital had changed staff, yet they still managed to slip through the cracks.

It couldn't have been done by Jack alone.

"Check with Kevin and Neil Lin, especially at the border ports."

Alan and Zachary had already dealt with Kevin and Senno during their last trip abroad.

They didn't qualify to appear on camera.

Though Alan was puzzled, he followed Frank's orders.

After all, he was responsible for hotel security, and the hotel had just exploded.

He hadn't managed to find Christine either.

He felt guilty.

"Don't worry, Frank. Even if I die, I'll make sure to bring Charlotte back to you."

Frank simply said, "Jack took her."

Alan was stunned. "What did you say?"

Frank couldn't be bothered to repeat himself, he hung up and started contacting others.

Zachary noticed Frank's forehead was slick with cold sweat from the pain of his injuries and felt uneasy.

"I can't convince you, but if Charlotte sees you like this, she'll feel heartbroken."

"If you don't want her to worry, take care of yourself first. If there's anything you need done, just tell me, and I'll handle it."

Frank didn't reply and kept himself busy.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Zachary understood, he hadn't handled the situation with Jack well.

Frank made several calls, and in between, he asked Jane how long he had been asleep and when they noticed Charlotte was missing.

Jane answered truthfully.

Hearing that Charlotte had bled and gone to the emergency room, pain surged in Frank's brown eyes, and he hoarsely asked, "Is the baby still alive?"

Jane couldn't answer that question.

With Jack taking Charlotte in such circumstances, t was uncertain if the baby would be safe. From Jane's silence, Frank had a suspicion and asked Danny, "Did you see or hear anything else?" Danny shook his head. "I just saw him take Aunt Charlotte away, she was bleeding..."

As he spoke, he started to cry. "Uncle, you're so amazing, hurry and save her! She bled so much, I'm worried..."

When it came to worry, Frank was the most concerned.

If the child were gone, it would be heartbreaking, but most importantly, her safety mattered.

Just as the room fell into a suffocating silence, Danny suddenly shouted, "Dad!"

Alex walked up to Frank. "Madam Shaw and Ben have both passed away. Charlotte is currently missing, and there's no one left in the Shaw family. You need to make a decision on whether to cremate them or keep them in the morgue until Charlotte returns." Meanwhile, on my side. It was an exceptionally gloomy day, with the rain outside pouring endlessly.
