Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 590


"I mean, if I didn't know, it would be one thing. But now that I do, saying no would practically be the same as pulling the plug on him..."NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Don't beat yourself up over it. You two never had the chance to bond as father and daughter. Even if you never visit or care for him, you're not in the wrong."

"The thing about parents and their kids is, you reap what you sow. It's unreasonable for him to expect anything from you based on a connection you didn't choose, like blood or DNA, especially when he never played his part as a father."

I didn't have strong feelings for Victor, but I couldn't stop Ramona from trying to save her own son.

My refusal to sign the papers initially was out of fear, suspecting it was one of Pearl's schemes.

"I get it, Ramona. You don't have to explain it to me. Just promise me you'll take care of yourself. It's okay to worry, but don't stress yourself out. Your health comes first."

"Alright, dear. I understand."

As she patted my head, her eyes were tearful, but her smile was warm and loving, "You're so calm in the face of adversity. The Myers family is in good hands with you. It'll thrive."

"And when my time comes, I'll tell your grandpa down there that we have a wonderful granddaughter named Lilliana."

Hearing her say that always unsettled me, as if she were setting her affairs in order.

I knew nobody lives forever and that a day would come when we'd part.

But there's a difference between passing peacefully of old age and leaving due to an accident or illness.

"I'm not grown up yet; I need you, Ramona. There's so much I still have to learn from you."

I rubbed my belly, "Besides, your great-grandchild is still so small. Are you really ready to leave her?"

Ramona placed her hand over mine, her tone soft, "My dear, I will be waiting for you."

Victor's surgery stretched from dawn to dusk.

The hospital, bustling during the day, grew quiet and empty as night fell.

The bodyguard brought dinner, but Ramona barely touched hers.

Seeing her struggle, I didn't push it and quietly ate. The little one inside me needed nourishment.

And Gregory, he hadn't replied to any messages.

I even tried calling, but couldn't get through to Lucius either.

Tied up at the hospital, I sent Christine to check on The Ford Group and SZ Technology.

"Jane."

Christine arrived at the hospital,

"Don't worry, he's at The Ford Group. Details are sketchy, but it seems his dad is causing trouble again." 

"Also, Dailey's there. He wanted me to tell you not to worry."

I nodded, feeling a bit relieved.

But I couldn't figure out what Klein was planning.

Preferring to hand The Ford Group over to a scheming illegitimate son rather than trust Gregory.

It was as if he wanted to force Gregory into submission.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

But Gregory, with his pride, would never how to anyone, yet he couldn't just abandon The Ford Groud or cut ties with The Ford family. 

Because The Ford Group wasn't just his father's legacy; The Ford family was more than just his father.

Thinking about the burden Gregory shouldered made me empathetic.

Christine sat beside me, "I've told Dailey about the situation here. He said he'd inform Gregory."

I nodded again, "Thanks. I owe you a fancy dinner, Dailey included."

Christine raised an eyebrow, "You know me too well, Jane."

Just then, the emergency room doors swung open.

A nurse called out, "Are you Victor's family?"

Ramona stepped forward, "Yes, how is he?"

The nurse announced, "The surgery was a success.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but before I could fully relax, Ramona swayed on her feet.

Frightened, I rushed to her side, barely catching her in time. Thankfully, Christine was quick to help.

Seeing the situation, the nurse immediately called for assistance, and Ramona was swiftly taken to another emergency room.
