Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 563
Frank's gaze fell on the tea canister next to the teapot. Jack noticed his attention and tried to stand up with great effort, but the pain from his injuries left him too weak to succeed.Frank took a handful of tea leaves and scattered them over Jack. He gave a knowing smile and said, "Looks like I was right."Jack exerted all his strength to stand up, trying to snatch the black glass jar containing the only antidote from Frank's hands. But even breathing was difficult for him, let alone grabbing anything.Frank's light movement was enough to keep Jack from reaching it."Do you think you've won?" With each word Jack spoke, his heart and lungs ached, but he still managed to say, "Let's not discuss the rest. This time, you can’t win. Charlotte will definitely be mine."Frank raised his hand and slightly moved his index finger.Alan immediately stepped forward to restrain Jack. Frank picked up a fruit knife from the coffee table, knelt in front of Jack, and tapped his face with th

I didn't want to be constantly worried, so I agreed obediently, "Okay, I understand."Yasmin said softly, "Alright, get some rest. Pregnant women shouldn't stay up late.""You too," I replied.After hanging up, I had just put down my phone when I heard the sound of the door opening. I immediately headed toward the door, while Jane and Grandma exchanged glances.Grandma said, "Come with me to see the flowers I've been growing."Jane played along. "Sure."The person who came back was, of course, Frank.I opened my arms to hug him, but he stopped me by pressing down on my shoulders, saying, "I'm dirty. I need to shower first."That didn't sound right. Even though I was pregnant and he was worried about germs affecting the baby, he had been out running errands, not working at a construction site. How dirty could he be?Just as I was about to ask, a small black medicine bottle appeared in front of me.My eyes lit up. "The antidote?""Yep."He cocked his brows with an air of arro

Frank laughed. Given that we had to consider Grandma and Jane, he decided to end the topic, stopping the conversation in the room just a wall away.Seeing that it was best to drop the subject, I picked up the medicine bottle he had left on the coffee table. "I'm going to give the antidote to Grandma.""Okay."Seeing him nod, I stood up and headed towards Grandma's room, only to find him following. "Let's go together," he suggested.Jane was playing cards with Grandma. When Frank and I entered, we saw Grandma happily collecting a large pile of cards, looking as delighted as a child who had received candy.At that moment, I felt that no matter what sacrifices were made, as long as Grandma could live healthily and happily, it was all worth it.I lifted the small medicine bottle and, feeling relieved, said, "Grandma, Frank brought the antidote for you."Jane looked at the bottle. "Is it really the antidote? Don't tell me Jack tampered with it again…"I hadn't thought about that.

When we arrived at the hospital, Prof. Kilburn was already waiting.After we got Grandma settled into the examination room, Dr. Travis arrived at the hospital as well. I hurried over, saying, "Thank you for coming all this way at such an hour."Dr. Travis waved his hand. "It's no trouble. Studying medicine is all about curing and saving people. Doing this is just my duty."Dr. Travis and Prof. Kilburn entered the examination room together. Frank helped me sit down. "Are you feeling unwell?"I shook my head. "No."Frank gently rubbed my back, soothing me. "That's good."I knew that seeing Grandma spitting out blood must have made him worry. After all, he had brought back the antidote, and despite multiple confirmations, it was still unsettling.I held his hand and looked into his eyes. "Frank, Grandma will be fine. The medicine you brought back won’t have any problems."Frank seemed to silently breathe a sigh of relief. "Even after Grandma has spat out blood, you still trust me

Grandma chuckled lightly. "I know, I know.""Okay." I then turned to Frank. "Let's go home. First, let's drop Jane off."Unexpectedly, Jane waved her hand. "I'll stay here. I have nothing to do, so I'll stay at the hospital with Grandma. That way, you won't have to worry about not being able to eat or sleep properly at home, affecting the growth and development of my goddaughter."I couldn't help but laugh. "You’re exaggerating.""If I say it's necessary, it is." Jane pushed me out of the ward. "It's getting late. Go home, take a bath, and get a good night's sleep. Remember to bring me my food tomorrow afternoon!""Alright, I'll bring them for you," I agreed, feeling a bit touched. "Thank you, Jane."I knew that asking me to bring lunch was just a way to help me feel more at ease.Jane pretended to be unhappy. "What? Now that you have a man, you're being distant with your best friend?"I quickly denied, "No, not at all!"Jane cocked her brows. "Since it's not the case, why don

Grandma's face turned cold. "Don't call me 'Mom.' I don't have a son like you."Ben, naturally, wasn't eager to face rejection. But he couldn't avoid coming.After all, he was still fixated on Grandma's assets, fearing they might end up in my hands.He forced a smile. "Mom, I know you're not in good health. I specially bought many valuable supplements to see you.""I don't need them. Take your things and get lost.""Mom, no matter what, I'm still your biological son. I’m part of the Shaw family, and the Shaw family cannot be handed over to outsiders."‘Outsiders?’Grandma was so angry she almost laughed. "Who do you mean by 'outsiders'?""Lily is also a member of the Shaw family.""If we're talking about outsiders, it seems your wife and child are the real outsiders."Ben suppressed his anger. "Bethany may not be related by blood, but she's been adopted and has been with us for many years. There's a bond. If you deny her, what will others say about the Shaw family?"Grandma

Seeing Ben's glum expression, Simone knew that the fool hadn't fared well. She was aware of Frank's temperament, and with Bethany in his hands, he was unlikely to be lenient.She was anxious and desperate, yet had to force herself to remain calm and speak gently to Ben. "Did Mom upset you again?"She handed him a glass of water. "She's getting old now, so don't hold it against her too much."Ben took the water with a grim face and drank it in one go, still feeling the frustration inside him.Simone continued, "But as your own mother, it's not right for her to completely disregard your feelings…""And besides, the Shaw family should rightfully be yours to take over. I wouldn't complain if it weren't for the fact that if it goes to Charlotte… She's so close to her biological mother, and not at all close to you. She probably already knows about our betrayal of Yasmin. When she really takes control of the Shaw family, it won't be difficult for her to kick us out and seek revenge for h

Kevin continued after a short pause, "But it's very risky."Simone's face twisted with anger. "I'm not afraid of risks."Compared to the risks, she feared even more that all her hard work would be ruined in an instant. Back then, she had sacrificed her dignity to take everything from Yasmin, climbing step by step to where she was now. She absolutely could not let Yasmin's daughter take everything back from her.In the following days, Frank was extremely busy, working around the clock. I often struggled to stay awake on the sofa in the living room, waiting for him to come home, but couldn't resist the early pregnancy fatigue and would eventually fall asleep.When I woke up again, I was already in bed. And once again, the space next to me was empty.Originally, due to the instigation of Mr. Smith, the board of directors at the Smith Group would frequently cause problems, requiring Frank's attention. Now, he also needed to allocate some of his energy to help me with the Shaw family’s

"I want to explain."Westley embraced her, lowering his head to whisper, as though they were deeply in love."I won’t repeat the same mistakes again as before, and I won’t make the same mistake multiple times."Jordan shrank her neck, trying to avoid him.His warm breath brushed against her ear, it was ticklish.But she couldn’t break free from him, so she could only try to move away as much as possible."Let go of me first."Westley lowered his head and kissed her ear."Since you’re here, let’s finish what we started."Jordan was unwilling. "You handle your own problems, don’t drag me into your competition with other women."Westley stared at her for a moment, not loosening his arm but pulling her closer."She already holds a grudge against you. It’s safer for you to stay by my side. Oh, by the way, just so you know, she’s a princess."Jordan slapped the cream cake in her hand right onto his face.She couldn’t hide her emotions, anger clearly written on her face.She wan

Jordan finally finished planting all the saplings and now all she had to do was wait for them to bloom.But she probably wouldn’t be able to see the flowers. She hoped the pear trees would grow wildly here."Mrs. Howard." Buck brought her a dress. "Mr. Howard said that there is a party tonight and would like to request your company."Jordan refused without hesitation.Buck added, "There’s also an auction, with many fun and interesting items. Don’t you want to buy gifts for your sister and little nephew?"Mentioning her sister and nephew made Jordan waver.Jane liked interesting things, and Jordan couldn’t easily go out on her own to gather them.And now, she had the opportunity.But she didn’t want to attend the event with Westley."Mrs. Howard, if I were you, I would go."Jordan ignored him. He was on Westley’s side.Buck’s mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "When Mr. Howard broke your heart, you should have asked for more money from him, to get revenge and s

Carter had hit a wall at every turn.He had also been poked at his sore spot, and his long-established cold and distant persona was on the verge of crumbling."Forget about Zachary and the others, after all, they’re not very close. But how long have I known you? You won't help? I even helped you persuade Jordan."Westley didn’t fall for it. "As for you and Mandy, no one can help. I can’t bring her to Nelana now. You can try convincing Zachary, maybe there’s still a chance."Wasn’t that just stating the obvious?Carter said, "If I could get Zachary's help, would I be telling you all this?"Westley replied, "That’s your problem. Who told you to force her? Back then, she was just a young girl, barely an adult. It’s normal for her to be afraid of you and find you disgusting."A flash of sadness appeared in Carter's eyes."I was just too angry back then. It wasn’t intentional...""I’ve said that too." Westley put down the binoculars. "You saw my outcome. Obviously, it was useless."

"Jane, don't argue with Zachary. This time, I am staying here voluntarily," said Jordan."I’ve made a bet with Westley, and there will be a resolution in the end."Jane nodded. "I can let you handle this matter yourself, but you have to promise me that you won’t let yourself get hurt, and you won’t just keep sacrificing yourself. If it becomes unbearable, give it up. I’ll always be here to support you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."The two sisters chatted for a long time, and only when Jane started to feel sleepy did they end the video call.Jordan handed the phone to Buck and closed the door to her room.Buck was left standing there.He felt like he had been completely abandoned, as if everything around him had fallen apart.Anyway, as a sandwich in the middle, he was already crushed, so it didn’t matter anymore.For several days, Jordan got up to eat, and the food was always food prepared by the chef.She hadn’t seen Westley around.She couldn’t really say how she felt. She just

"He is faking his psychological illness," Jordan rebutted.Even if he had one, it had nothing to do with her.Even she didn’t have any psychological issues, how could someone with such a strong mind like Westley have any psychological issues?He shouldn’t blame her for everything.Having seen enough, she turned around and walked away.But Carter called her back. "He once took good care of you, and you're going to be this heartless?"Jordan wasn’t familiar with Carter. He was usually a man of few words with a cold personality.If she greeted him, he wouldn’t respond. If she talked too much, she might get an icy look in return.She really didn’t expect that one day, he would try to mediate between her and Westley."You should focus more on your own matters," she said.His own love life was a mess, so what right did he have to interfere in hers?Jordan’s emotions were written all over her face, she didn’t hide them.Carter could guess how she was feeling just by looking at her

Jane didn’t care about Westley. Even if he was feeling it now, it was too late for regrets.If he hadn’t acted the way he did, Jordan wouldn’t have suffered so much.Moreover, he had once ignored her cries for help, so now he shouldn’t blame Jordan for his injuries.“How’s my sister?” she asked.Roy replied, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Collins, Ms. Hickey is doing fine. Except for the lack of freedom, there are no other restrictions.”“When can I have a video call with her?”Roy thought for a moment. “Since Mr. Howard is now delirious, I can make the arrangements.”“Thank you,” said Jane.“It’s no trouble, it’s my job.”After hanging up the phone, Jane looked at Zachary and asked, “What do you think?”Zachary moved the phone a little farther away to avoid radiation.After finishing the massage, he helped her lie down and said, “I’m thinking what you’re thinking.”Jane gave him a sidelong glance. “You’re slick.”Zachary smirked and bent down to kiss her forehead.“Get some rest.”

"Mrs. Howard—"Buck watched helplessly as Jordan jumped into the sea.Before he could rush over, a figure was even faster than him."Sir!"Westley dived into the water, found Jordan, and dragged her to the shore.When Jordan was pulled onto the shore, she was still a bit dazed.Wasn't she just swimming? Why was there so much fuss?Buck gestured for people to bring a stretcher, lifted Westley onto it, and hurried back.Buck also called for the maids to help Jordan back.Jordan wiped her face, pushed the maid aside, and twisted the water out of her hair. "What happened?"Buck was anxious to check on Westley, but he couldn’t stop watching Jordan, worried she might jump into the sea again and trying to think of other ways to prevent it."Mr. Howard was saving you.""Why?" Jordan was confused. "I didn’t drown. What’s the need to save me?"Buck recalled what he had seen earlier. It seemed like... swimming?"Weren’t you... jumping into the sea?""Yes." Jordan didn’t notice Buck

"Nathan, you should head back and deal with your own matters. Let's not interfere with Jordan's matters anymore."Nathan didn’t expect Jane to say this. He paused for a moment before speaking. "You know better than I do what Westley has done. How can we just ignore it? Jordan is still young and hasn’t experienced much in terms of relationships. She lacks experience, what if she falls again..."Jane knew what he was talking about and comforted him. "Don’t worry. Jordan may have experienced little in terms of relationships, but she’s not a foolish girl. She knows how to handle things."Nathan asked, "Is it because there’s something Westley knows?""No, it’s because we can't let Westley continue making a scene. This matter still needs to be handled by the person involved."Nathan didn’t say anything more and told Jane not to worry. When it was close to her delivery, he would come back.Jane agreed and hung up the phone.She threw the phone onto the counter and hugged Zachary from b

Charlotte raised her hand and gently patted Jane’s shoulder."I understand, after all, she's your sister. But I think Jordan is very smart and capable, she can take care of herself. You can worry, but at the same time, take care of your own health. Then, when she comes back, you can love her properly."Jordan walked around the island.There was a helipad on the mountain with two helicopters.Out at sea, there was a large cruise ship docked.But she didn’t know how to pilot any of them, so there was no way to escape.In the end, she decided to just accept things as they were.If there was a problem, she would deal with it. If not, she’d wait."Mrs. Howard, Jasmine is looking for you."When Jordan returned to the villa, Buck handed her a phone.Hearing Jasmine’s name, she took it."Jasmine.""I'm relieved you're okay," said Jasmine, letting out a sigh of relief, then apologizing. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have drunk so much.""It’s not your fault."Since Westley had a plan to
