Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 541
Upon hearing this, Frank didn't even raise an eyebrow, as if it was entirely expected. He merely nodded slightly to indicate he understood and continued walking toward the roadside.Alan quickly followed, methodically planning the next steps. “Should I have them follow him?”“No need.”“No need?”Alan usually kept up with Frank’s pace, but this time he felt a bit out of his depth. “Frank, he must be going to meet the person behind the scenes, right? Shouldn’t we use this opportunity to follow him?”As he spoke, he ran to the front of the car, opened the rear door, then walked around the front and got into the driver’s seat. After starting the car, he finally heard Frank’s calm voice: “Kevin might fall into the same trap twice out of panic, but the person behind him isn’t so foolish. They might be even more cunning than he realizes.”Alan turned on the turn signal and merged into traffic while contemplating, “So you’re saying that following him would only bring us harm with no ben

“I had Kevin, also known as K, try to find a way to get the antidote.”I was surprised. “He agreed?”“Hmm, but the chances are slim. We need to make additional preparations.”Frank raised his hand, gently smoothing the frown on my forehead with his thumb. “Besides that, Uncle has already asked Dr. Travis to think of ways to delay the onset of the poison. Additionally, your mother and I have arranged for Grandma's blood to be sent to top research institutes abroad. As long as there is enough time, they should be able to develop an antidote.”“Charlotte, trust me, Grandma will be fine.”I looked into his brown eyes, feeling a sense of calmness wash over me. Like when I was a child, I reached out and ruffled his hair. “Frank, thank you.”The next day, I had finished washing up before the doctor came for the rounds.Yesterday, I urged Frank to go home and get a good night's sleep, but he refused and insisted on staying with me on the sofa for the night.After the doctor finished ch

“Stop being so bitter. According to my friends in the circle, this time several forces have joined together to pressure the platform and reduce the hype. I heard even her ex-husband got involved. Maybe her own family background isn’t simple; at the very least, she’s a well-bred young lady.”“Stop talking. Even being related to Frank is already quite lucky. How impressive could her ex-husband and family background be?”“If her family or ex-husband were impressive, I’d eat shit whilst being upside down.”I glanced at the online gossip but felt almost no emotional impact. Since my experience with public opinion involving Jessica, I’ve stopped taking such matters seriously.Jane noticed I wasn’t upset and felt relieved. “I wasn’t sure whether I should tell you, but seeing you not take it seriously makes me feel better.”“Don’t worry.” I smiled a little. “My mindset is strong right now.”Rumors and gossip were beyond my control, and getting angry about them was unnecessary.Just as I

I immediately realized something. “By the way, how is your wound healing? I’ve been staying with Grandma these past few days and haven’t had a chance to visit you.”Feeling a bit embarrassed, I noted that he had been injured for my sake, and yet I hadn’t even visited him.“It’s just a minor injury, nothing serious.”Jack seemed to sense that I might feel guilty and downplayed it. “It should be mostly healed in a while. Grandma’s condition is the real issue. By the way, how is she?”My expression grew slightly somber. “We’ve managed to delay the onset of the poison for now, but I don’t know if we can wait for the antidote to be developed.”“Developing an antidote?” Jack looked surprised. “Wasn’t the antidote with that K last time? With Frank’s methods, he should be able to deal with him.”“Jack, are you here at the hospital to change the dressing, or are you here specifically to check on Charlotte?” Jane changed the subject with a smile and teased, “Speaking of which, Charlotte is

It was unlikely for me to get pregnant after only one time.By the time I arrived at the company and finished the meeting, it was almost evening. I had come with Jane’s ride. I was getting ready to take a cab back to the hospital.Jane offered to give me a ride, and I gave her a sidelong glance, teasing, “I saw you messaging Zachary during the meeting. It’s better not to let me delay your… progress.”Jane smiled brightly. “Oh, have you learned to spy on screens now?”“Just a coincidence, just a coincidence.” I gave a shy smile.She had been sitting at my lower left during the meeting, leaning sideways against the table to reply to messages, so it was impossible not to see.As I was speaking, my phone rang—it was Frank.“Finished with the meeting?”His lazy and casual voice came from the other end of the phone, and I couldn’t help but smile, “Yes, just finished. I’m planning to go back to the hospital to see Grandma, then head home.”After several rounds of acupuncture from Dr.

His clear voice carried an unusual seriousness. When I met his dark brown eyes, filled with almost drowning affection, I even forgot to breathe.My heartbeat missed a beat. I really wanted to nod and agree, unable to bring myself to say anything to reject him. But I wasn’t in my early twenties anymore. After a few moments of breathing, reason eventually prevailed.I gently pursed my lip. “I want to wait… until the current matters are settled.”Seeing the disappointment flicker in his eyes, I was afraid he might misunderstand, so I couldn’t help but explain, “These issues are like ticking time bombs. Whether it’s Lucas, Bethany, Simone, or K and the person behind him, if we have a child now, our concerns and their opportunities will just increase. Frank, I also hope we can have a child soon. I believe we will work hard to be great parents.”“But not right now.”“Charlotte.” Frank’s lips suddenly curved into a smile. “Do you feel like your words make you sound like a terrible pers

When we got home, Julie had just prepared a delicious and aromatic dinner. Knowing that Grandma was coming back with us, Julie had even made a medicinal meal to help with Grandma's recovery.The meal was extremely pleasant.However, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Grandma seemed a bit troubled. She kept serving me food, as if she wanted to show her care for me with all her strength.Later on, Grandma urged Frank to take a shower. Frank noticed that Grandma wanted to speak with me privately and cooperated willingly.“Charlotte, come in with Grandma.”While Julie was still tidying up the dining area, Grandma called me into her room.I suspected that she had something important to discuss with me and felt very uneasy. “Grandma, you…”“Take this and keep it safe.”Before I could finish, Grandma took out a brown paper bag from her purse and handed it to me.I panicked. “Grandma, I can’t accept this!”Grandma smiled in relief. “Do you know what it is?”“Well…” I pursed my lips.

Before I could finish speaking, Grandma continued, “My little Lily has grown up and wants to support Grandma, right?”I pursed my lips. “But I still haven’t been able to do anything for you. Even the antidote, we don’t know when it will be available.”“What’s there to be afraid of?”Grandma was much more open-minded than I was and sighed, “I’ve been thinking about your grandfather for a long time. If it weren’t for the Shaw family, I would have gone to join him long ago.”“It’s just that you have to work hard to hold up this mess of the Shaw family. Grandma doesn’t want you involved, but there’s no other way.”“I know, I know…”Hearing Grandma’s tone as if she was arranging her final affairs, tears streamed down my face. I clung to her, crying and choking up, “When I was little, I envied other kids who had grandparents. Now that I finally have you, I don’t want you to leave me. I don’t want to lose you.”At that moment, I understood the burden Frank carried on his shoulders.Th

"She's originally from abroad, it's hard to catch her." Frank waved his hand and said to Zachary, "Take care of it. I'm going to have some fun for a while. Once you're better, you can handle the aftermath." Zachary nodded. After Frank left the hospital room, Zachary told everyone to go home. "I'm fine, just a stomach cramp. It's not serious." Rebecca held his hand, hesitant to speak. Zachary took the initiative and said, "Don't worry. I've already cleared things up with Jane. Even if we run into each other in the future, we won't greet each other. We'll be strangers from now on." Outside the hospital room, Jane withdrew her hand from the door, turning to speak to Charlotte. "No need to go in. He's fine." After getting in the car, Charlotte looked at her. "You should stay at Region Gardens for a while." "Once Zachary and Frank finish dealing with the Sanchez family, you can move back to your own place. The Sanchez family has deep roots, and I'm worried that if

They were eager to see Zachary and hadn't had the chance to speak yet. "Was it Zachary who took Lexi away?" Frank nodded. "He said he would handle it personally, so it should be him handling it." "If the Sanchez family is inconvenient for you, I can take care of it." Just as Eric was about to speak, Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez arrived at the hospital room. They looked quite angry. "Eric, we've known each other for so many years. Even if we can't have a marriage alliance, don't harm my daughter." He unlocked his phone and handed it to Eric. Eric saw the image of Lexi tightly bound. He frowned. Zachary was still unconscious at this moment. Who sent this photo? Ross entered shortly after, answering his question. He heard Ross tell Frank. "The Winston family took her." The Winston family was the Collins family's greatest enemy. And the enemies who had nearly taken Jane's life in Heliafield were the most loyal followers of the Winston family. Thinking b

Charlotte patted her head. "First, make a video call to that little girl." Jane quickly found her phone and opened the landlord's WhatsApp. As soon as the call connected, the little girl appeared on screen, her eyes red. Tears were still visible on her face. The landlord was sitting next to her, waiting, not having gone to sleep. Jane apologized, "Sorry to disturb your rest." "Don't say that." The landlord gently patted her daughter's head. "I'm just happy you're alright." Jane smiled at the little girl. "Thanks to Celine, I'm fine." The little girl leaned closer to the screen. "Jane, you're lying. Your lips are swollen." Jane cleared her throat. "I ate something spicy earlier." She quickly added to prevent the little girl from saying anything else, "Alright, go to sleep now. We'll talk more when you get out of school. Jane went through a lot today, and she's tired too." The little girl, very understanding, handed the phone to her mother and went to bed

The captain laughed. "Don't think that just because we're from abroad, we don't understand anything.""Young lady, if you want to buy some time, then I'll play along with you. But if you're hoping for someone to rescue you, I advise you to give up on that thought. This is the border. Domestic ships can't get through here."Well, you don't know Frank.There's no one who can stop him from going where he wants to go.Jane tried her best to suppress her fear. "Sir, I have all kinds of tricks. If I can make you guys happy, can you spare my life?"She reached out, grabbed the captain's belt, and moved closer."As long as you don't kill me, you'll be my savior. I'll be yours from now on and let you have your fun with me. Is that okay?"Although Jane hadn't dressed herself up recently.But her facial features were stunning. Those fox-like eyes with a smile in them were even more alluring.The captain kept swallowing saliva. Apparently, he was attracted.However, they had already rece

They were anxious, not just because of the situation, but because they feared Zachary would go mad and go abroad with Jane. Frank glanced at their expressions and immediately understood that they were aware of Lexi's plan to send Jane abroad. "I suggest that while Zachary is looking for Jane, you should take care of the Sanchez family's matters. Otherwise, when Zachary comes back, there will be hell to pay." Jane ate the meal the waiter brought and then felt drowsy. She fell into a light sleep, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already half past nine. She remembered the things she had told the little girl before leaving and quickly grabbed her phone to call. But just then, the door was suddenly kicked open. Several adult men stormed in and grabbed her, dragging her outside. "What are you doing?" They had originally planned to reach the border, but unexpectedly, a violent storm had forced a slight course change. This delay allowed the effects of th

Lexi said, "The plane will leave traces. By then, Zachary will find you. The ship will change at the border and private sea areas. Once she changes ships, it will be hard to track." Jane remembered when Jack had taken Charlotte away before. She felt a sense of unease. After all, Lexi wasn't someone she could fully trust. "I didn't expect you to be so timid." Lexi noticed Jane's worry. "I thought someone with your background, who dared to pursue someone as different as Zachary, and even date him, would have extraordinary courage." But wasn't Jane regretting it now? Otherwise, why would she be running away? She decided not to care anymore. With a firm heart, she boarded the ship. Lexi smiled in satisfaction, but then a cold glint appeared in her eyes as she spoke to the captain. "When we reach the border, throw her into the sea and feed her to the sharks." No matter where she went, as long as Zachary wanted to find her, it was just a matter of time.

Lexi was so angry that she wanted to smash something. She got up and walked away, with each step of her high heels hitting the ground, the sound echoing her immense fury. The more difficult it was to conquer, the more determined she became to conquer it! Zachary went directly back to the Collins family home. The Collins family members were somewhat uneasy. When they saw him come back alone, they were both shocked and suspicious. "Did Lexi not come back with you?" asked Rebecca. Zachary did not respond and walked upstairs with long strides. Rebecca, along with Sir Collins and Madam Collins, exchanged gazes, all feeling something was off. It was strange that Zachary had actually returned to the Collins family. "Sean." Rebecca saw someone else entering behind him and immediately asked, "Did you follow him the whole time? Did you notice anything unusual?" Sean bent slightly, his face carrying a polite smile as he respectfully replied, "No abnormalities w

The situation between Zachary and Jane's relationship had not been made public. It was normal for the employees at the company not to know about it. Zachary did not answer when people congratulated him, and Lexi stood silently by his side, not saying anything either. But to those around them, their actions were as good as an admission.Some people even offered their congratulations, but Zachary didn't acknowledge them. He didn't go upstairs. Instead, he turned and left the building. This time, he didn't even get into Lexi's car. The smell inside the car was too overwhelming, making him dizzy.Lexi followed him, and they entered a nearby cafe. He didn't go straight to Jane's place, but Lexi knew that was just a way of hiding his true intentions. However, she wasn't concerned. After all, the Collins family would never approve of him being with Jane. She just needed to give him a bit of time to play along."Mr. Collins, aren't you going to consider my suggestion?" Lexi asked with a sli

The shock from the Collins family was too much for her. She wouldn't take the initiative, nor would she have the courage to continue with him.So what other way did he have?He'd tried both soft and hard tactics, yet this situation was still more complicated than advanced mathematics.The next day.Lexi invited Zachary out.But the Collins family hesitated.Rebecca said, "Why don't you two spend some more time getting to know each other at home first?"Lexi smiled. "Mrs. Collins, I know what you're worried about, but that woman is no longer in Jeswood."Rebecca was aware of this.After all, they had been keeping an eye on Jane's movements. They even knew where she was staying.It was surprising that Lexi had just returned a day ago, yet she had already figured it out.This kind of method and family background was exactly what the Collins family needed.It was also what Zachary needed."I've erased all traces. Even if he wants to find her today, he won't be able to, and it
