Ex-husband’s Regret

As night fell, the entire city was enveloped in damp darkness.

I didn't know the full situation in Jeswood.

Without a phone and with no clock in the room, I could only see the dark sea through the small window, making it impossible to tell the time.

It wasn't until Jack came to deliver food that I guessed it must be evening.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"Why aren't you using your cutlery?"

I didn't trust Jack, I didn't even dare to drink water, let alone eat the food he brought.

Seeing through my thoughts, Jack said, "I don't care. If it comes to it, I can just give you a nutrition shot. After all, I never intended to keep this child."

He was certain I wouldn't let my child starve, but if there was something wrong with the food, it would only make things worse.

Caught in a dilemma, I grew to hate Jack even more.

Jack met my furious gaze with a smile.

"Then go ahead and starve."

With that, he walked straight out, closing the door behind him.

I leaned against the head of the bed, looking outside.

I placed my hand on my abdomen, feeling certain that Frank would find me.

It wouldn't be long.

Frank searched every corner of Jeswood.

The ports and docks were being inspected one by one.

Key areas near the border were under close scrutiny.

A net so tight that not even a bird could escape, yet there were no leads.

Frank, disregarding the advice against it, left the hospital to personally check every port.

Zachary couldn't convince him, so he had to let Prof. Kilburn lead a team to follow, bringing all the necessary equipment for emergencies.

It had been nearly five hours since Charlotte went missing.

The longer the time stretched, the greater her danger became.

"Alan, prepare the boat."

Alan wasn't doing much better, the relentless rain soaked him as he ran back and forth.

His burn injuries stuck to his clothes.

But he couldn't cry out in pain or stop to rest.

"Frank, get on the boat.")

Once Frank boarded, the rest of the team followed.

Jane was still in her dress, it was bearable on the way, but once the boat moved, the cold sea wind mixed with the rain made it chilly. Zachary offered her his coat, but she refused.

"Frank."

Alan approached, handing over a phone. "It's a call from Senno."

Frank's eyes flashed with killing intent as he answered, but remained silent.

Senno seemed to enjoy Frank's demeanor, he appreciated his attitude.

"Frank, as long as you come to me and become my man, I guarantee your woman will be fine."

It was indeed connected to him.

Frank thought Jack couldn't possibly have such a complete plan on his own.

He had been careless in not dealing with Christine sooner.

He had assumed that without Jack, Senno wouldn't have the ability to stir up trouble.

Frank's voice, carried by the cold sea wind, was chilling. "Since you're so eager to die, I'll do you a favor and send you on your way."

Senno seemed to find this hilarious, laughing uncontrollably.

"Frank, maybe you're impressive in Jeswood, but I'm not someone you can just kill."

"I'll give you 10 minutes. If you continue with this tough attitude, you'll never see that woman again."

Frank hung up the phone.

On the other end of the line, Senno was confused, looking at Kevin. "Didn't you say that if we caught that woman, he would willingly become my man?" Kevin was also perplexed.

He knew very well how much Frank cared for Charlotte

Moreover, he had learned from Jack that Charlotte was pregnant.

Given this situation, how could Frank not compromise?

"Are you with Jack?"

Kevin realized that Jack had already been in contact with Senno.

The plan to slip away started once they learned of Charlotte's pregnancy.

Even luring Frank to Senno's territory had been calculated by Jack.
