Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 148
"Gary?"Ryan's voice turned terrifyingly cold. "What are you standing there for? Take her to the hospital!"Jessica was having a mental breakdown. Before she could say anything, Gary carried her straight into the elevator!He made sure all the way, not to let any blood drip on the ground.I watched them leave, feeling like I could burn a hole through their backs. My chest continued to heave violently."Charlotte, let's wash our hands first, okay?"Ryan seemed afraid to provoke me further, his tone gentle as if coaxing a child.I looked at him and asked hesitantly, "Aren't you angry at me for hitting her?"This wasn't Ryan's usual style.He should have defended Jessica unequivocally, standing opposed to me. That would have been right.He sighed, took my hand, led me to the restroom, turned on the faucet, checked the water temperature, then positioned me under the faucet, applied hand soap, and carefully washed my hands."Doesn't your hand hurt after hitting her like that?"I

Ryan seemed helpless, looking at me as he explained gently, "She also lost her child at that time. Even if it goes to court, it won't achieve the result you want.""Oh..." I nodded absentmindedly, feeling like I had been completely drained. "So, my child died in vain, is that it?"Perhaps afraid that I would get agitated, he hurriedly reassured, "No, there are still many ways...""What ways?" I smirked. "Sending her abroad, any country I choose?""Okay." He breathed a sigh of relief, nodding without much thought.I looked at his flawless features and smiled, "Then send her to Southeast Astia, like Manya, Vetal, Laost... Oh, you can send her there, but you’re not allowed to give her any living expenses.""Charlotte...""Is it not possible?" I saw the trace of disbelief flash across his handsome face, but I insisted on it.I insisted that Jessica pay that little price.He frowned. "It's chaotic there. She..."Before he could finish his sentence, his phone in his pocket rang. He

The moment I asked this question, my heart skipped a beat again. Because I had always believed that Grandpa's death was related to Jessica, but there had been no evidence.Fortunately, Albert immediately replied, "Yes, although the fingerprint was small, after comparison, it is indeed hers.""So it really was her..."Upon receiving this answer, I felt no joy, only more sorrow for Grandpa. If... if Grandpa hadn't met Jessica that day, would he still be waving kindly to me now, calling me ‘Charlotte’?Albert was also furious. "Although the Mr. William never fully accepted her, he never mistreated her either. Yet she actually resorted to such methods.""Yeah." I pondered over it, "Albert, there's one thing I still can't figure out. When Grandpa hit Ryan that day, he didn't get so angry as to fall ill. What did she say to Grandpa to make him so furious?"First she angered Grandpa, causing him to fall ill, then she prevented him from taking his life-saving medication.It was exactly

I couldn't help but smirk. "Haven't had the chance yet..."A black business car turned around the corner. Out of habit, I started to step back, but they suddenly accelerated, stopping right next to me!Whoosh!The tyres screeched against the ground.I furrowed my brows. Just as I instinctively tried to avoid them, a young man wearing a cap pushed open the door and stepped out. In two large strides, he came up to me, swiftly covering my mouth and nose!"What are you trying to do..."It all happened in a split second. I didn't finish my sentence. I had no time to resist, let alone escape.The smell of ether was strong. In just seconds, I passed out. Even my earphones fell to the ground under their rough handling.When I woke up again, my head was muddled, limbs weak, unable to even lift my arms.I could only half-open my eyes, surveying the surroundings.I was still in that black MPV, tossed in the corner of the last row, hands and feet bound, forehead against the window. It wa

We were already getting a divorce. I didn’t want to owe Ryan any favors!Moreover, this debt belonged to Bob. There was no way I would pay for such a person."Of course, I know exactly who he is and what his status is."The person with the hoarse voice pursed his lips, pressed the dial button, and turned on the loudspeaker. "We don't want to offend him either. If you really have nothing to do with him anymore, I'm not stupid enough to create trouble for myself."Listening to the beeping sound from the phone, my began to race.Should I ask him to save me, or should I distance myself?Those two thoughts battled in my mind, but the moment the call connected, Ryan gave me the answer.The voice that first came through was Jessica's."Who's calling? Why are you calling so late..."My nails dug deep into my palms. It hurt. "It's me, Charlotte. Where's Ryan?"He said he was just going to sign some documents.Now, somehow, his phone ended up in Jessica's hands.Jessica hesitated for

The person with a hoarse voice kicked Bob, then lifted a bottle to his temple. "You damn idiot, are you trying to deceive Harry? Mrs. Frost? Bullshit! Mr. Frost is out buying tampons for his new lover, and you think he'd still be willing to pay off debts for an ex-wife's uncle?"Bob was caught off guard, falling awkwardly to the ground, then scrambling to the front of the leader. "Harry, Harry! I swear I wouldn't dare deceive you. She really is Mrs. Frost. When you guys went to the hospital that day, didn't you see my wife in the VIP ward? If Ryan didn't care about her, could my wife stay in the VIP ward at St. Heart Hospital?"I glared fiercely at him. "Bob! You're ungrateful. If it weren't for my aunt, would I have gone to beg Ryan for that ward? And now you're using this against me?!"Ignoring my words, Bob clung to Harry's thigh. "Harry, besides, Ryan would still at least leave her with something. Even if she divorces Ryan, do you think Ryan won't give her any money? This 2 mill

Harry couldn't hold back his anger and slapped the person with the hoarse voice as he shouted, "Damn it, sooner or later you'll bury me! How can this be an ex-wife? She’s so much more!""Harry..."The person with the hoarse voice pointed to the foot still pressing on my face. "Could you please take your foot off first?"Only then did he glance down, startled, swiftly withdrawing his foot. At that moment, the rolling shutter suddenly lifted completely!Initially, I thought it might be someone sent by Albert to deliver something to me and seeing me tied up, he sent someone to rescue me.But now, when I raised my head, I saw Ryan's grim and cold face.Wasn't he supposed to be buying tampons for Jessica just now? How did he manage to rush over here?From here to St. Heart Hospital was at least an hour's drive."Mr... Mr. Frost!" Harry, who had just been arrogant, suddenly became deferential. "Your reputation proceeds you!"Ryan's face was icy cold, his voice chilling. "Is this you

"Really?" he asked.I was furious enough. "Really, hurry up!"Bob was so happy that he hurriedly helped me untie the twine with his hands and feet.However, the moment I regained my freedom, a person rudely grabbed my arm from behind, and before I could even begin to resist, something cold was pressed against my temple.Experience from watching a lot of war movies told me that it was the muzzle of a gun.My body froze, not daring to move, and I allowed him to pull me up."Mr. Frost! If you make another move, I'll have no choice but to be shoot Mrs. Frost."As soon as the person behind me opened his mouth, I could hear that it was the person with the hoarse voice.At that moment, most of their people had already fallen, and it was obvious that Ryan and his men had the upper hand.Ryan stopped moving and smiled coldly. "You shouldn't be stupid, as long as she suffered any injury, you all won't be able to walk out of this place."The person with the hoarse voice hesitated for a

Jordan hadn't decided yet. "Do you have any particular places you'd like to visit?"Jane said, "Then let's go shopping."She turned to Charlotte. "Can you walk?""I’m fine. If we get tired, we can find a place to sit and rest."Jane then looked at Whitney and asked if she wanted to go.Whitney nodded.The four girls made a quick decision and set off.Ross was eating an apple when he saw them coming out together. He immediately asked, "Mrs. Collins, where are you going? Do you need me to give you a lift?"Jane looked at the car behind him and noticed there were no other cars."Take us to the biggest shopping center.""Okay."The MPV was large, and with just Ross as the driver, it was more than enough for the four of them to sit comfortably."Ma’am, there are yogurts and snacks next to you, all your favorites."Jane glanced at it and said, "Remember to tell Zachary that it’s too late to apologize after making a mistake."Ross would only repeat the exact words to Zachary, an

Ross agreed and turned to leave.Jane kicked the door open with her foot, then stepped onto the balcony, and Whitney quickly came to help.After setting the breakfast down, she noticed something was wrong.Jane and Charlotte exchanged a glance.Jane asked in confusion, "Why are there things in here that neither Charlotte nor I like to eat?""It seems that Zachary and Frank were a bit careless."Whitney quickly said, "I can eat what you don't like."She wasn't picky about food, it was just that she used to not have enough to eat, so she had always eaten less and stayed thin.Jane hadn't heard Ross mention that Caleb had come.She said, "Don't you think Caleb specifically bought this for you?"Whitney was puzzled.Charlotte pointed and said, "The things we like to eat were all prepared by Frank and Zachary. They wouldn't purposely prepare things we don't eat. So, what do you think the extra food is for?"Whitney was momentarily stunned.She thought it was because Jane had or

Whitney washed up and went straight to bed.She didn't have the habit of playing on her phone before bed.Before coming to Nelana, all her work had been handed over.If something urgent came up, someone would call her.So she didn't check her phone, and thus missed Caleb's message.Caleb was on the hotel balcony, with his phone placed on the small coffee table.He held a glass of wine, swaying it absentmindedly.His gaze, however, remained fixed on the phone.But even when it got to dawn, there was no reply from Whitney.The man curved his lips slightly and lit a cigarette.He leaned against the balcony railing, waiting for the sun to rise.Whitney woke up in the morning, went to wash up, and after she finished, took a book from her luggage and went to sit on the swing on the balcony to read.As she passed the kitchen, she made herself a cup of coffee.She didn't like to move much, most of her time was spent on improving herself.She tried to learn as much as possible.S

Westley didn't say anything either.Zachary and Frank were a team, he was no match for them in an argument.His relationship with Caleb wasn't that close, so it was impossible for the latter to help him."They're having barbecue for lunch," said Frank, locking his phone. "They just ordered the ingredients."Jordan found two power strips and moved the pot to the balcony."Good thing we have these, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to eat.""Why do you have so many pots left in this house?" asked Whitney."I lived here for a while before," Jordan placed the plates and cutlery down. "I also feel like leaving these things here makes it seem like Grandpa is still around."Whitney apologized.Jordan smiled and reassured her, "It's fine. No need to apologize. From now on, we're good friends."Whitney nodded and smiled in agreement, "Alright.""By the way, Jordan.""What's up, Jane?"Jane said, "Both Zachary and Frank have booked hotels, so they don’t to stay here.

Jordan and Whitney chatted casually.Most of the time, it was Jordan doing the talking while Whitney listened.After covering enough about the wedding, they talked about Jordan's work over the past few years.She also mentioned the tangled feelings and past with Westley.When she got to that part, she grew a little curious. "Whitney, before you married Caleb, did you ever like anyone?"Whitney shook her head."What about a secret crush?""Not even that."Whitney rarely talked to others about her past.Zachary only knew because he had looked into her and thought she was perfectly suited to be a pawn.And she had needed to become that pawn—to completely sever ties with her past, achieve her goals, and fulfill her ambitions."I was too busy studying and working to think about anything else."Jordan sensed she didn't want to go further, so she didn't press.Just then, Jane called, saying she and Charlotte would arrive soon and join them for lunch.She relayed the message to W

"We had a meal together before, and I noticed you always seemed to like sweet dishes, so I tried buying some. I was worried it might not suit your taste.""It does, it does." Jordan took a bite of the pudding. "It's delicious. But did you buy anything you like to eat?"Whitney said, "I already had breakfast. I can't eat anymore."Jordan offered a suggestion, "Why not try a bite of this sponge cake? It's a specialty here in Nelana."Whitney really couldn't eat any more. She had a small appetite, a condition built up over the years.If she ate a full meal, she couldn't eat snacks afterward. And if she ate snacks, she would lose her appetite for meals.She had a small stomach.But seeing Jordan looking at her so expectantly, she still picked up a piece of sponge cake and took a bite."It's very good."Jordan smiled and took a big bite of the sponge cake herself."Whitney, you're so good at picking food! This is great!"The old house was a bit remote, but it had a rooftop terrac

Jordan said Whitney would be coming over later.Westley hadn't expected that the first one to get out of bed would actually be Whitney."Just the two of you?" he asked."For now, yes."Jordan glanced at her phone. In the group chat, it was just her and Whitney talking—no response yet from Jane or Charlotte.She more or less knew why Jane hadn't responded, but Charlotte too?Still, it didn't really matter. There weren't any specific plans for today anyway.She hadn't known Whitney was coming, so it was a nice surprise."Maybe my sister will text me around noon. We can decide what to do then.""You." She pointed at Westley. "You are not allowed to show up in front of me again after breakfast."Westley nodded. "Got it."After buying food, Whitney told Caleb, "I'm going to find Jordan. You can go handle your stuff. I'll be staying at her place until the wedding."Caleb leaned against the elevator wall, his voice low and lazy. "You're telling me what to do?"Whitney wasn't in a

She replied with an emoji, then looked for her girls in the group chat to ask them out for food.Their group chat had a new member now—Whitney.And it was Whitney who replied to her."I'm already eating at the hotel. Do you want to come over, or should I bring something to you later?"Whitney had actually had a good night's sleep.Though it was a bit later than her usual habit, she still managed to get up for breakfast.Before, it was always Caleb who brought breakfast to the bedside and fed her, because she simply couldn't get out of bed.Jordan figured she was probably having breakfast with Caleb and decided not to bother her."No need, I'll just eat something nearby. Your hotel isn't close to me."Whitney replied. "I'm heading over later anyway, but I'll probably be a bit late. If you're hungry, go ahead and eat something first. I'll bring you something else."Jordan. "Thanks."Whitney. "No problem."Caleb noticed her holding her phone, her expression much softer, even t

Caleb was thinking that in the future, he could let her drink a little more.Of course, only when he was around.She looked kind of cute like this."I did say that, but didn't you just say you wanted to thank me?"Whitney felt that alcohol really wasn't a good thing.Even when hanging out with Jane and the others, she decided not to drink too much anymore.The rationality and logic that she was so proud of had completely vanished.She had never been as calm in front of Caleb as she was with others.Besides, there was a power imbalance between her and him.If she were sober, she wouldn't have been able to reject him anyway.Let alone now, when her mind was muddled.But maybe because she was muddled, she dared to say things that she didn’t usually dare to say."I just lost my balance earlier, and you helped me. Even if you don't accept verbal gratitude, that doesn't mean I owe you something this big."Caleb saw she could barely stand, so he held her by the waist to keep her
