Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 211
Edwin's POV"He is easy to take care of, Nicole. I'll pay him so that he won't refuse to help," I said, trying to reassure my daughter, who was still sitting reclined on her bed.Matthew and Richard had already returned after the doctor advised my son to rest first, as well as Key, who was accompanying my grandson, who was still saddened by his mother's condition. I was still here to convince her of the things that she still doubted or didn't want to do for her recovery.Nicole looked at me, shaking her head and looking disapproving. "That's not necessary, Father. I don't need that man's help, and you don't need to waste your money paying him."We were talking about the biological father of the woman I had saved from a terrible accident, Smith Martinez, from a family that had given him a horrific past. He seemed so confident even though his life was on the line, but there was no way I could let this go on because the woman's return to health was far more critical to me.Her tireless h
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 212
Edwin's POVI was already outside Nicole's room, letting the young woman continue her rest without interruption. She was already looking better after the initial treatment given but still needed to make good use of the time for her condition to improve.I reached for my cell phone, dialing one of my confidants. "Dean, take Smith Martinez to the hospital downtown immediately."I disconnected the phone after saying what I needed to, staring at the view outside the hospital from the window with a sharp gaze. I tightened my grip on my phone for a moment but then threw it away.Seeing Nicole like this, I was reminded of the time when my daughter had been sickly in the past, and she had finally gone to join her mother. Losing Natalie at that time was devastating to me, who was a single parent and a husband who lost his wife within a short distance.By meeting the young woman, I felt that my status as a father was restored, as well as my grandchildren calling me grandfather. I didn't want to
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 213
Edwin's POVI was surprised by what the doctor said. Nicole had confessed from the beginning that she was the daughter of the Martinez family, and I had also checked her background after rescuing the young woman. Still, I had no idea about the results that would come out of the examination between the biological father and daughter."Is that right?" I asked, looking at the doctor representing the pre-surgery test result statement.He nodded. "That's right, sir. We've confirmed that all the tests went according to procedure, and there should be no errors regarding the results."I didn't say anything for a while, still shocked and wondering how a parent and child from the same family could have different DNA. It was an impossible and improbable thing.The young woman listening to the team of doctors on her bed also looked shocked. Her face looked like she had just been slapped by reality, and she was obviously new to this fact, just as I was not.There had never been any discussion abou
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 214
Nicole's POVMy body was still relatively weak from the tests, but Chris's words made me force myself to speak. He was looking at my father too boldly and always trying to get involved in my business and family."Stop interfering, Chris." I took a breath and licked my dry lips, my throat sore. "You were never invited to join this conversation."The man shook his head, turning to stare at me intently. "I had to intervene, Nicole. You always worry me so much that I have no other choice.""Nonsense."I was tired. I had kicked him out so many times and told him I didn't want him by my side, but he always had a way of coming back and finding me that it became suffocating.I'd never seen him actually worry about me at all. He just pushed himself, over and over again, at me. Even though I tried to put some distance between us, he completely ignored it because he hadn't reached his goal yet.He didn't respect me, but I had nothing else to do or say to get him out of my way."I've been looking
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 215
Nicole's POVI felt baffled about what was happening. Even though I never had a good relationship with Smith and he never cared about me, the fact that I wasn't his daughter broke me.I had long expected his affection, especially since my mother always paid attention to me and said that he was just too busy with his work, but he never did what she said every time I asked, and I felt terrible about what he did.He would gaze lovingly at my mom, give kisses and hugs, and then lose interest when his attention turned to me.After my mother passed away, what she did to me became even worse, coupled with the two women who also made me suffer even more, without anyone to defend me.I bit my lip, looking down while muttering to myself. "So, he already knew everything back then."He once said that he had something important to tell me when he admitted that he found out about me using a DNA test, but back then, I was so determined to get rid of him, and thanks to the help Matthew and my family
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 216
Nicole's POVMy newly arrived fiancée spoke again when she saw Chris. "Why is this man here? Isn't all the information covered up?"Although that man didn't visit the hospital often with all his work, he did keep up with all the developments. I looked at the man breathing heavily, looking like he had just run."True, but it looks like he managed to break through the defenses," Edwin answered the bespectacled man's question and looked at the man who hadn't said anything for a while.Matthew controlled his breathing, fixing his gaze on me again before going to my father. "That's not the case. Mr. Duncan, I heard this man say Smith Martinez is not my fiancée's biological father. Is that true?""It's true...." I answered in place of my father.The bespectacled man looked at me, seemed to be thinking about various things at a swift pace, and seemed to be coming to a conclusion. He walked closer to me and took my palm lightly.His gaze was fixed on me with a determined look. "I can give you
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 217
Edwin's POVI felt completely screwed. Smith wasn't Nicole's father, so the treatment that the young woman should have been able to go through soon had to be delayed, while I had absolutely no information about my daughter's real family.Now I was facing the man who had caused this problem. The man stood with both hands held back by each of the bodyguards who came with me.The ignorant man clucked. "Why are you doing something like this? Didn't I follow the procedure you wanted?""You are an imposter." I gritted my teeth, looking at him, who seemed frowning.He didn't seem to understand what I was talking about. "Impostor? I don't have such luxurious opportunities. Don't you know everything about me, Mr. Duncan?"I clenched my fists, looking at the man who was still trying to be evasive even though the facts about him had been obtained from the tests he had undergone. There was no way he didn't know about their blood relationship since the man he had given the information to had admit
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 218
Edwin's POVAt home, I met Richard, who stood up to greet me. He only smiled faintly and called out to me in a voice that wasn't as excited as usual, even tending to be weak to make me a little worried. "Grandpa, you're home.""Yes, Richard." I returned my grandson's smile and hugged him.He felt tiny at the moment, with his hands holding my coat back tightly for a few moments. It had been a few days since we had eaten together, and the boy had gone to bed several times before I arrived home.I realized the effect of not having Mom by his side was worse than I thought, so I hugged him tighter, trying to give him what little peace he could take from me.It was Richard who loosened our embrace first. I saw his slightly contorted face and teary eyes as we stared at each other, leaving me speechless and only able to stare at him."Grandpa.... Actually, I want to meet Mom...." The child said in a low voice. "But I'm scared, Grandpa. If I meet Mom later, I might cry and make her worry about
