Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 307
*Nicole's POV*The surgery had been ongoing for three hours. The father of the man with glasses was here too, sitting alone, but I paid him no mind, only noticing his shameless presence a while ago.My father had also arrived. He sat beside me, calming me down. His warm hands clasped one of mine, making me feel like I could finally breathe. I leaned my head on his shoulder for a moment."Wouldn't you rather rest, Nicole? I can wait here in your place," he said gently a while ago, noticing how my hands trembled and my breathing unsteady.I still felt shaken, and my hand hadn't returned to normal. My worry lingered, especially after seeing Matthew taken into the operating room in such a grave condition.If anything happened to him, I'd feel a heavy sense of guilt and have no idea what to do—especially if I hadn't waited for him as I was doing now.I shook my head in response to my father's question, attempting a faltering smile. "No, Dad. I want to wait until his surgery is over."He re
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 308
Nicole's POVI came to my senses. My eyes felt blurry for a few moments, adjusting to the light of the lamp shining above me. When I turned my head, I saw the man I didn't want to see was there, looking at me with a relieved look."Why are you... here?" I asked, but the man just rubbed my hand between his two hands, whichever than mine, and rubbed it lightly.I looked at the man and then at our hands, realizing that I felt too weak to even attempt to remove my hands from him at this point. I should have pushed him away earlier but was too tired to fight with him.He looked at me, obviously knowing me too well to speak. "Nicole, rest."I closed my eyes, feeling the man lower our hands back onto the bed, right on the side of my body, still wrapped in the blanket. I must have been registered as a patient immediately after I fainted suddenly, in front of my father and the old man who kept blaming me when I was also involved in the accident that happened in an instant."Mr. Edwin Duncan is
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 309
Nicole's POVMy mouth immediately felt like it was quivering. "You mean, with that old man, is.... Benny Thompson?"The man nodded, seeing what was happening to me as if he had expected it. I had a panic attack. The man held my hand tightly, helping me to calm down what was happening to my body.After the past events, there were many things I had to go through, and this panic attack was one of them. Aside from being traumatized by loud noises and car crashes, it was very difficult for me to deal with this kind of shock that was also almost similar to the things I had gone through in the past.I wasn't badly hurt, but the scars from that incident still remained."Calm down, Nicole. You're still here, as are Richard and me." he took my hand and rubbed it gently. "Your father is fine, too. You just have to face this reality so you don't falter. You need to breathe."I breathed in with difficulty, feeling claustrophobic with the pressure my body was making due to the panic I was feeling.
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 310
Nicole's POVA week had passed. My father moved to arrest Benny, and the old man, who still had a thick face, was finally detained by the authorities and had to go through all the processes necessary to sentence him.During the interrogation, he admitted that it was his wish to make me injured, or at least end up disabled, so that I would have no choice but to live as his son's wife. He would fulfill his wish to lock me up.The man still assumed that neither my helplessness nor my father's would lead us to him.My father was furious, his gaze fiery, and his hands clenched tightly on the table. "That man's mind is turning more and more extreme. He has become so obsessed with Catherine that he has turned on you, Nicole, and involved his own son in his selfishness.""Father had no idea that he would come to this. Intending to disfigure you and then marry you off to his son? Hah! He doesn't even care about his son, who is in a coma because of his own actions." She shook her head.We were
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 311
Nicole's POVI was currently looking into the glass that mediated between me and the bespectacled man who was lying on his intensive care unit bed. He was still unconscious but was still being helped with some support equipment so that his health would not decline.I exhaled at the sight of his condition, as well as the figure who had been following me since we met in the basement of the hospital and was now standing next to me."You followed me."I didn't ask, but the man nodded. "I originally wanted to go to your house, but then I thought that you would definitely visit it, so I switched to here."That man was Chris. He was still acting on his own, doing whatever he wanted, even though nothing was forcing him to get involved in this situation. He could have stayed home to see my son, like their usual routine meeting, but he preferred to meddle in my affairs.I couldn't hate her for what she did this time. With all the things that had happened lately and the grudge I had been holding
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 312
Nicole's POVI exhaled, looking at the phone screen that showed a search for my name. In the end, the reporters finally heard what happened to us.It started with the marriage between Matthew and me failing to take place, causing a lot of questions about why, and now, they found out that Benny Thompson intended to kill me.The case about the bespectacled man's father should have only reached the police. Still, somehow, the reporters were able to get their hands on the information and release it to the media immediately. I had already seen a few articles, and my father, who was next to my hospital bed, was shaking with annoyance.He glared at the screen of his own phone. "I told them to shut up! Why? Huh...." The man tried to catch his breath to feel calmer.I understand my father's desire not to have such an internal and long-standing problem spread, but of course, some irresponsible people feel they can take advantage of our bad situation, especially since the two conglomerate famili
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 313
Nicole's POVBefore heading out, I changed my clothes and put on my glasses and hat. I wanted to avoid attracting any attention, especially with my name still on the top of the search list and me only going alone to blend in more with others.My purpose in going out was to refresh my brain, which has been having to think about many things lately.Starting from Matthew, who had yet to wake up from his coma to his father, who was still in the process of being transferred to the prison that would be his final destination. My father was taking care of that, so only one of the servants from my house, in the hospitalization room, knew of my departure.I'm sure she had already conveyed that to Key so she could pass it on to my father. I was okay with it as long as I had time to be alone and enjoy it."Here." I checked the maps I'd used to take me to a nearby café that served delicious chocolate drinks, then to the small building in front of me.The place looked cosy, but I just bought the ch

Chris' POVI looked at the woman, who seemed stunned to see me, coupled with the blush on her cheeks, which seemed a little pale. I swallowed unconsciously, trying not to get my hopes up with what I was seeing at the moment, feeling that Nicole was being mesmerized by the simple things I was doing for her.I had already delivered her to the Duncan Family residence by this time. The woman exited the car and lowered her head slightly to speak to me, who was still inside. "Thank you for driving me."There was no smile on her lips, but I could hear her words were sincere and did not sound rude like usual. I was silent momentarily, feeling that what happened today shouldn't stop there, so I stepped out of the car.The woman had already reached the gates of her residence, strolling as if I was no longer the man who made her feel threatened. I smiled slightly, Nicole had probably accepted me by now without realizing it, and we were getting closer even though the man with the glasses was stil
