Ex-husband’s Regret

I held her hand tightly. "The incident happened too suddenly, so you don't need to feel guilty. With the sound of the explosion and everything in chaos, I'm just grateful you weren't hurt."

"You don't even know how powerful that explosion was. Zachary pulled me away because the chandelier fell. Later, when you and Frank went to the hospital, there were several more explosions. Ms. Jackson..."

At that moment, Jane suddenly shut her mouth.

I sensed something was off. "What happened to my mom?"

Jane hesitated, clearly hiding something from me.

Before I could press her further, there was a knock on the door.

Jane immediately went to open it.

"Prof. Kilburn, please come in quickly."

Prof. Kilburn thought Jane's demeanor made it seem like he was walking into a tiger's den.

But he didn't think too much of it, assuming Jane was just worried about her friend.

Even Prof. Kilburn had arrived, it still couldn't take my mind off what Jane had just said.

I saw Jane trying to slip away and called out to her, "If you walk out that door, we're no longer friends."

Jane had no choice but to return, looking dejected.

"Jane, tell me the truth."

Jane said, "Ms. Jackson is fine. She was injured a bit and is resting in the hospital. I just told her you're okay. As for your grandma... Let Frank talk to you about your grandma's situation."

Just as I was about to ask more, Prof. Kilburn asked, "Do you feel any discomfort?"

"I was busy treating Mr. Smith at the time. After I dealt with Mr. Smith's injuries, I heard you almost had a miscarriage and were taken to the emergency room, but I didn't see you there. I later heard that you were taken away without emergency treatment, so during this time, have you experienced any issues?"

Prof. Kilburn was different from Dr. Travis. Dr. Travis could discern a lot from taking pulses, but Prof. Kilburn needed to wait for various test reports.

I shook my head. "When I woke up, I should have been treated. I felt the baby was still there and didn't have any major issues. I just threw up the food I ate, and now I just have some chest discomfort, but my stomach doesn't hurt. I'm not sure about the baby's condition though."

Prof. Kilburn reassured me, "If you've been treated, you're already 12 weeks along. There shouldn't be any problems for the next couple of hours. Once we return to Jeswood, let Dr. Travis check your pulse."

I was still worried about things, and after speaking with Prof. Kilburn, I looked at Jane, who was standing to the side.

"Why can't you tell me about Grandma's situation?"

Prof. Kilburn also knew the reason but couldn't say anything.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

This was something Frank needed to explain.

"Looking at the test results, there shouldn't be any issues, but pregnant women should avoid stress and significant changes. No matter what happens, you must stay calm."

I felt there was more to Prof. Kilburn's words.

But before I could ask, Frank came in with food and went to discuss my situation with Prof. Kilburn.

"There are generally no problems, but after such a thrilling experience, even though it's been three months, it's still not particularly stable. For the time being, avoid any major stress." Frank fell silent for a moment. "Okay."

After Prof. Kilburn left, Jane hurriedly slipped away.

Frank set the food down and first fed me some oat porridge. "Here, have something to eat."

I turned my head, refusing to eat the food.

Frank seemed to have guessed something.

Jane had always been one to let things slip.

"Just eat. After you finish, I'll tell you anything you want to know."

I didn't want to eat, but my stomach growled twice at that moment.

I had no choice but to feed the little one first.

I took the bowl of oat porridge and finished it myself.

Then I went on to eat some meat and vegetables.

Once I confirmed I couldn't eat anymore, I took a sip of water and then looked at Frank.

Frank got up from the bedside and pulled a chair to sit in front of me.

Frank got up from

He held both of my hands. "Actually, I planned to wait until we return to Jeswood to have Dr. Travis check you before discussing anything."

I held her hand tightly. "The incident happened too suddenly, so you don't need to feel guilty. With the sound of the explosion and everything in chaos, I'm just grateful you weren't hurt."

"You don't even know how powerful that explosion was. Zachary pulled me away because the chandelier fell. Later, when you and Frank went to the hospital, there were several more explosions. Ms. Jackson..."

"Why can't you tell me about Grandma's situation?"

"Charlotte, cry if you need to. Let your feelings out. When you're tired, get some rest. After you wake up, I'll take you to see Grandma."

'For the final farewell,' he added inwardly.

I instantly broke down.

Frank didn't say it directly, but I could already sense it.

Nothing could make Frank hesitant and tongue-tied.

Only because I was pregnant, he didn't want me to be stimulated.

But how could I be stimulated?

That could only mean Grandma...

"Why..."

I couldn't accept it or understand it.

I wanted to stay calm. I still had to be responsible for the little one in my womb.

I couldn't lose one more relative.

But I couldn't control it.

Just the thought of Grandma leaving me forever made it so hard to breathe.

"Charlotte."

Frank allowed my tears to fall. He didn't wipe them away but helped me breathe normally.

"Tell me why this is happening..."

Jane was at the door, listening to the heart-wrenching cries, and she quietly shed tears as well.

Suddenly, a bony hand appeared in front of her, holding out a tissue.

Jane didn't take it and turned away.

Zachary knew his words at the airport were harsh.

Later, he had no choice but to use a tactic to try and trick her into coming to see him. Only then could he

get the chance to explain things to her, but Jane didn't fall for his trick.

The next time they met was at the banquet where Charlotte and Yasmin recognized each other.

Who would have thought such a big incident would happen at that banquet?

When she didn't take the tissue, he took the initiative to wipe her tears.

Jane slapped his hand away. "I just want to let my tears fall. I don't want to wipe them."

Zachary knew she had a good relationship with Charlotte and didn't say anything.

He simply stuffed the tissue into her hand.

But Jane threw it away and went straight back to the room next door.

Zachary was rendered speechless.
