Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 221
Nicole's POVI took my mother's hand, entering the biggest house I saw besides ours. Many people were there, dressed in the same fancy clothes my mom and I wore. Many friends my age gathered first in one of the open sections of the party room, which was also filled with several other adults."Do you want to play with them?" my mom asked, to which I immediately replied with a nod. "Alright, don't play too far. You remember where you're going.""Okay, Mom!"I quickly joined the other children. A girl took my hand, and we walked together, following the other children who were planning to play hide-and-seek. One of us stood guard when we arrived at a less crowded part of the house while the rest, including me, scattered to find the best hiding place.I didn't look where I was going and thought I couldn't lose. My footsteps led to a place filled with paintings no longer on display and other dull-looking items. I stifled a cough as I entered the room but used my handkerchief to breathe bett

Nicole's POVChris left. I should feel happy or at least relieved about it, but for some reason, I feel guilty.Maybe it was because he and I both knew that I wasn't being sincere. I didn't want to admit it, but we'd been on several dates, and I'd ordered spaghetti bolognese on three of our five dates, so he knew it all too well.I sighed, trying to control myself from this useless feeling that would only harm me. Suddenly, someone stroked my hair gently, snapping me out of my daydream about a man who could usually only think about himself. I turned my head, looking at Matthew, who was smiling gently."Take it easy. Everything will be fine, Nicole."I nodded, agreeing with his words and wishing for the same. I just wanted to get well soon so I could get back to work, see Richard, and spend time with my son in places far better than the hospital garden or this already dull hospital room.The bespectacled man stared at the closed door with a sharp gaze. "That man really doesn't know him

Nicole's POVI didn't know what was happening until my father suddenly came over and hugged me tightly. I felt my stiff hands on both sides of his body, not knowing what to do for a few moments before finally patting his back a few times."Nicole...." he called my name for the umpteenth time even though he had been hugging me since before. "Nicole, Nicole. Oh my... Nicole..."The man's shoulders, which usually looked well-built, trembled on top of mine, as did the moisture I could suddenly feel there. I realized he was also crying, although I still didn't know why.I became a little worried, trying to calm this father, who was still in my arms. "Dad, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly crying? Calm down, Father. I don't know anything if you don't say anything.""How can I calm down, Nicole, my child?" He was trying to get the words out in his trembling voice. "God, I still can't believe this."I still didn't understand what the man before me was saying, which was more like mumbling to

Nicole's POVAfter a while, my father said goodbye to take care of a few things while finding out about the information he had told me. He ignored the other figure who had been with us since earlier, but I couldn't do the same.When the door to the room closed, I looked at Chris, who was still silent, and finally said to him. "Why are you still there? Don't you realize that your presence here is completely unwanted?""I know, but I can't leave you."He looked at me intently, then walked over to me. I stared back at him, trying to keep myself brave and not back down in front of him, ignoring the fact that we almost did something I didn't want to happen before my father entered this room.The man stopped walking and paused right next to my bed, between which was the IV pole I was using.He seemed to smile slightly as he looked at me more closely. "I am glad that you have found your real father, Nicole. Mr. Edwin will be a good father to you.""What are you saying?" I frowned, staring at
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 225
Nicole's POVFor the past two days, I have not wanted to see Chris at all. My father had prepared several bodyguards to guard me while I was alone, standing guard at the door of my hospital room so that the man I didn't want to see wouldn't have a chance to break in.That had already happened this morning, where a bodyguard did his best to hold back the breakthrough of the man who was also very stubborn. It took some time for the man to be wholly driven away and not make any more noise in front of my room, but I also knew that it hadn't made him give up just yet.I clenched my fists tightly, remembering what he said the last time we met. His gaze was fixed on me then, and his furrowed brow told me that his words needed to be considered."I care about the little boy, Nicole. He is my son, and I know that he is not someone who should be involved in this revenge business that you want to take on me. The child is still small."I fell silent, feeling the man's words as if he was both stabb
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 226
Nicole's POVMy bed was pushed quite slowly and cautiously, following the bed occupied by my father, who had driven off first. The ceiling of the hospital hallway was the center of my gaze as my bed moved, accompanied by several nurses who were on duty to assist me.As I was about to enter the operating room, I saw Matthew waiting at the entrance. I involuntarily smiled when I met his gaze, feeling that he was giving me the strength I sought when some worries overwhelmed me.Be it the surgery, my father, and Richard. I missed my son a little after the video call we had before I was about to undergo surgery. He was still small. Hence, it wasn't easy to accompany me, but his presence would give me more peace of mind.My fiancé greeted me warmly while holding my bedrails, unable to touch me directly as my entire body needed to be sterile before the surgery. "Everything will be fine, Nicole. Your father came in a few minutes ago.""Thank you, Matthew." I just looked at him intently, which
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 227
Chris' POVI already knew that Nicole's surgery was successful. She had also regained consciousness and could be visited by her family members from the information I had gotten from one of my confidants.I knew that this was not the end of her treatment. She still had to recover, and the team of doctors in charge of her had to monitor the progress of her condition during her treatment and ensure that there were no side effects from the surgery and the spinal cord obtained from her father.All things take time, including the woman's health, which was initially said to be poor.I sighed, massaging my forehead, which had previously been deeply furrowed, as I waited for news from that woman. I felt pretty happy with the news I had gotten about that woman, even though meeting her was pretty tricky.In the end, I looked for another way that didn't involve myself indirectly but still made my presence known to that woman"Sir, I'm not sure this is a good idea." My secretary spoke on the phone
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 228
Chris’ POVI already knew that something like this would happen even though it wasn't me who came, but it still made my heart ache with his rejection. I sighed, asking the man who contacted me again."Did you say that the bouquet of flowers was just a reward for Nicole's successful surgery?"She must have received some other bouquet of flowers or congratulations if her father had announced this, but I was indeed the only person outside the Duncan Family who knew of this happy event. I just felt happy for her, but it seemed like she didn't even want to accept this simple thing.Evan sounded frustrated. "You already know who I have to deal with here to deliver this bouquet safely, right, sir? Please understand."The man started complaining, saying some of the things he had to deal with before even reaching Nicole's bedroom door. There were several staff who were twice her size, with intimidating faces. He was sweating even though the hospital hallway was quite cold.What she was facing
