Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 576
At that moment, I could only comply and said, "Okay, I agree.""First, let her put Grandma down. If she doesn't, not only will you get nothing, but you'll also end up in prison."Ben looked at Simone. “Let Mom go now.”Simone, wary, scanned the hospital room and instructed, "Get these bodyguards out."Frank raised his hand.Once the bodyguards exited the room, Simone said, "Move my daughter closer to me!"Hearing this, Alan, following Frank's gesture, went over and placed Bethany on the bed near the window. After a quick look, he turned and gave Frank a signal."Frank."Zachary entered and handed a brown paper bag to Frank.He glanced briefly at Jane but didn't linger.Frank gave the paper bag to Ben, who quickly took it and examined it carefully, confirming it twice before signing.Then he immediately walked toward Simone.However, he was stopped by Alan."Put Grandma down," Frank said coldly.But Simone pulled out a syringe, its cold, sharp needle pressed against Grandm

Frank patted my head and said, "I'll handle it. Don't worry. You can't get too emotional right now.""Charlotte!" Jane suddenly shouted, startling me.Frank, who had been maintaining his usual calm, immediately panicked when he followed Jane's gaze.I had never seen such a helpless expression on his face before.The next moment, Frank quickly picked me up. I could feel the wetness between my legs. Blood was already streaming down them.I grabbed his arm. "The baby…""It'll be alright," Frank said in a serious tone, trying to reassure both me and himself.Being so close to him, I could clearly feel the irregularity in his heartbeat.As we entered the emergency room, I saw his hand shaking.Jane was injured and had difficulty walking. Zachary, for some reason, was moving slower than usual.She looked at the man ahead of her and couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you answer my calls?"Zachary remained indifferent. "It was too late. It wasn't convenient."Jane's temper flared u

I slowly ate the food that Frank was feeding me.While feeding me, Frank instructed, "The doctor said you need to rest well. After you're discharged, stay at home with Grandma. If you can't reach me, don't go anywhere."I nodded.There would definitely be more troubles ahead.Right now, I could do nothing but try not to hold Frank back.I looked up at his reddened eyes. "Why haven't you been answering my calls today?""I was so busy that I didn’t have time to return your calls."Hearing this, Frank instinctively began to explain. I sighed. "So you haven't even had time to eat?"Frank's lips curved into a pleased smile. "I thought you were going to accuse me, but it turns out you're concerned about me?"I took the spoon from his hand, fed him some food, and said, "Why would I accuse you? More than anything else, I'm concerned about your health."Frank swallowed the food in his mouth, cocked his brows slightly, and said meaningfully, "Don't worry. My health will ensure your hap

Grandma called my name, but she looked at me as if she was looking at a stranger."Grandma…""Grandma, what's wrong?"I tried to hold Grandma's hand again, but she pushed it away.Slap—The force was strong, leaving a visible red mark on the back of my hand.I was completely stunned.After all, Grandma would never treat me like this.She usually just patted me affectionately and had never hit me this hard."What's wrong?"When Frank entered the room, he saw my dazed expression.I reached out to him and then pointed at Grandma.Seeing the red mark on the back of my hand, Frank's eyes immediately became cold.But in the room, apart from me and Grandma, there was no one else.Frank frowned, unable to believe what was going on. "Grandma hit you?"I nodded. "Grandma seems not to recognize me. When I tried to hold her hand, she wouldn't let me."The coldness in Frank's eyes was replaced by concern. He called for the doctor and also notified Prof. Kilburn.Although the red ma

When Jane learned about Grandma's condition, she was somewhat incredulous."How could this happen?"Seeing my downcast mood, she comforted me. "The world is unpredictable. However, Grandma has supported the Shaw family, which shows how strong and stable she is deep down. So, you don't need to worry too much. With Prof. Kilburn and Dr. Travis around, even if they can't cure her, they can at least stabilize her condition. Grandma has always been so good to you. I believe she wouldn't just forget you."I couldn't be that optimistic. "Grandma might not forget, but this illness is so irrational."Jane was somewhat familiar with Alzheimer's disease. Elderly people with this condition could undergo drastic personality changes and it was common for them to become violent. They often refused to listen to anything and may wander off alone, sometimes would get lost if they reached the streets or other dangerous places.Taking care of someone with this illness was much more challenging than w

Hearing this, I forced a bitter smile, "It seems Ben's true nature was never good. Otherwise, how could he be so easily swayed by Simone to turn against his own mother and daughter?"Jane agreed, "True, but you don't need to worry too much about this. Frank won't let them get away with it.""Let them be proud for a while. They'll only be more miserable when they fall."As Jane and I talked, we drifted off-topic. Before falling asleep, she suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Charlie was drunk a few days ago and said he wanted to tell me a secret about Zachary. But Zachary showed up suddenly and scared him so badly that he became sober. No matter how much I questioned him, he wouldn't tell me. Can you ask your husband about it? He must know.""Sure," I agreed. Frank, Zachary, and Charlie grew up together like brothers. If Charlie knew, Frank would certainly have the inside information.Just as I picked up my phone to message Frank, the screen lit up with a message from him.

The next morning, Frank arranged for Alan to deliver breakfast to the ward. After Jane and I finished eating, a nurse came in to change her dressings. Jane didn't want me to watch. "Now that I'm you’re pregnant with my goddaughter, your mood affects her development. Don't look, okay? Just relax.""Alright."I couldn't argue with her. Just then, Yasmin called me, so I walked out of the ward."Charlotte, where are you? I came to see you, but Julie said you're not home."I suddenly remembered my mom had said that she would come by when she had time. I hadn't expected another incident to occur.I was initially worried about her getting anxious and considered lying, but then realized that lying would require more lies to cover up. Moreover, some issues inevitably involve the Jackson family's influence, and my uncle would probably inform her. If she found out I'd been lying to her, she'd be upset.It was better to tell the truth."At the Smith family’s hospital."Half an hour later

"Of course!" Yasmin agreed readily. She then stood up and said to me, "I'm going to check on your grandmother. Seeing you so worried and restless, and since I don't interact with her often, it shouldn't stimulate her too much. Maybe she'll still remember me."I nodded. "But can you promise me to tell me about any developments, no matter what? Don't hide anything. I can handle it.""You can handle it?" Yasmin tapped my forehead. "I asked Frank on the way here. He wouldn't lie to me, his future mother-in-law. You didn't tell me that you were rushed into the emergency room last night."I rubbed my nose.When I was being honest with her earlier, I had indeed left out that detail. Even though I was fine now, it would definitely be unsettling for my mom.Mainly, if she were worried, she would most likely disapprove of me staying at the hospital. She was already busy and had to divide her energy to deal with my issues. The matter with my grandmother shouldn't be something my mom had to h

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

"But your reaction just now didn’t seem like you knew I was here."Jane tried to pull her leg back, but when she couldn't, she slapped him in frustration."It was called acting, understand? I didn't want you to look embarrassed, so I got those two out of the way first."Zachary rubbed her ankle with his thumb, as if he believed her. "Then should I be thanking you—for being so considerate?"Jane couldn't be bothered to argue. "Let go. I want to drink.""I'll drink with you."Meanwhile, Frank held Charlotte close and asked in a low voice, "Did she really know we were here?"Charlotte nodded. "What do you think? You really think Jane would mess around during her marriage? She might be bold, but she has boundaries. But you guys really are annoying."Frank hooked her chin with his thumb. "I knew it. You're being cold to me because you're sick of me. I've said it so many times, and you still wouldn't admit it."After saying that, he picked her up and walked out of the bar.He hadn'

Charlotte nudged him with her elbow, warning him not to stir things up.Jordan truly didn't dare to stay any longer. "Westley, take me home.""Okay." Westley finally got up. "You all take your time. If it gets too late, don't go back to the old house—just find a place to crash.""But..." Jordan suddenly felt like leaving wasn't such a good idea. "Maybe I'll stay and play a bit more."Westley simply dragged her out."Jane and Zachary...""You can't control what they do, so why bother worrying over nothing?"Jordan was settled into the passenger seat, her seatbelt fastened firmly.She didn't resist, mostly because she felt what Westley said made sense.Jane was way more capable than she was. This kind of minor drama would be easy for her to handle.Plus, with the smart and composed Charlotte around—It was better if she didn't add to the chaos.Once Westley got into the driver's seat, she asked, "Why did you guys show up? Especially you—didn't you say no seeing each other a w

But it was just a polite gesture—if they had been singing inside, they wouldn't have heard her anyway.So after knocking, she pushed the door open and went in.Charlotte and the others followed to take a look.When they saw the scene inside, they gasped.The four men from home were sitting around a cards table, all eyes on the door, each with a different expression.Zachary looked at Jane, who entered first, and said with a smile, "Honey, pick someone you like and give him a kiss."Jane took a step back and bumped into Charlotte's arms.That was when she noticed the big screen beside them—it was showing their own private room."You were watching us?"Zachary tapped the cards on the table with his long fingers, still smiling."If we weren't watching, how would we get to enjoy such an entertaining scene?"They had all been drinking.Whitney didn't hold her liquor well. She was already a little dazed. Although the room was fairly bright, everything seemed a little off to her.

Caleb didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Westley and played a card.Westley won.And it was a big pot as well.He cocked his brows. "Is this your wedding gift to me, Caleb?"Caleb asked, "Your wedding—Dr. Greyson won't be absent, will he? I heard you two are very close. You've been at death's door multiple times, and he's the one who saved you."Westley nodded. "Theoretically, yes. But I'm not sure if he might have some emergency.""Besides, it's not like you, Caleb, can't reach him. You helped him last time. It's impossible he'd ignore you now."Caleb could contact Carter, but if he did, it would mean helping Carter meet Mandy.He had no interest in meddling in romantic matters—too troublesome.But he couldn't get in touch with Tanner at all.Technically, there was no real need for him to attend Westley's wedding.Even if Whitney was invited by Jane, he himself wasn't obligated.He simply wanted to go, hoping to "accidentally" run into Carter.That way, it wouldn't loo

Frank pulled her into his arms and asked, "You really have to go out for drinks?"Charlotte nodded. "It's a girls-only night. No men allowed.""Oh?" The man repeated slowly and deliberately, "No… men… allowed?"Charlotte saw the look on his face and knew exactly what he was thinking."Only women. Even the drinks are for women.""Oh? Tell me, how do you tell if a drink is male or female?"Charlotte lightly patted his face twice. "The drinks women drink are for women. Got it?"Frank laughed. "Got it."Over on Jane's end, after finishing her call, she was about to go look for Jordan, but Zachary pulled her into the room and pinned her against the wall.His warm lips covered hers, then quickly pulled away.With his forehead against hers, the man asked, "Going out for drinks?"Jane hooked his chin with her finger. "What, Mr. Collins, trying to seduce your way into a drinking invitation?"Zachary chuckled lowly, kissed her again, and asked, "May I?""No."Jane rejected him comp

Jordan had grown up in the Howard family, but the person who had taken care of her since she was little had an old house.She arranged for Jane and the others to stay there, and she would also be getting married from that house.She didn't have many friends. Originally, Leanne was supposed to be her bridesmaid. Although she had a child, she had never been married.But Leanne wasn't sure if she could make it back in time, so she let Jane and Charlotte take over as substitutes for now. They would adjust accordingly later."Try on the dress. If there's a problem, I can still make adjustments."With the help of the two of them, Jordan put on the wedding dress.But Jane was most looking forward to the wedding dress.Both her and Charlotte's weddings were going to be Cherian style.Jordan, however, wanted a Western-style one.And Charlotte, who had designed clothes for many years, had never actually designed a wedding dress before.This was her first attempt, and she was very excit

"Okay, I won't bring it up anymore."Westley walked over with Jonathan and sat down.Miranda was very satisfied. "Finally, Jordy can have dinner with me again."Jordan smiled. "I'm also happy. I can still call you Mom.""Then let's drink to that.""Okay."Westley waited for the "mother and daughter" to finish speaking, then threw out a big announcement. "By the way, our wedding is on the 22nd of next month."Clang!The spoon in Miranda's hand fell."What did you say?""On the 22nd of next month, Jordy and I are getting married. We sincerely invite you and your husband to attend."Jordan was also shocked.She only knew that Charlotte's dress was being made, and they were picking the wedding date.But Westley hadn't told her about this in advance."Next month, it's almost the New Year.""Yes, it's a wedding before the New Year. Then we'll celebrate the New Year at home. I'm informing you in advance, my dear mom. You can prepare for the the New Year Eve dinner.""The New Y

Jonathan almost spit out the tea he was drinking."You have principles now?""Not the right time to talk nonsense."Westley. "Do you always talk in a way that pokes others' pain points?"Jonathan smiled for a moment. "If you've done it, don't be afraid of people talking about it."Westley didn't want to continue the conversation and stood up to leave.He went to the kitchen to find Jordan and found her eating ravioli."Didn't you say you'd help?" Westley sat next to her. "How come you're eating secretly? Give me a bite?"Jordan guarded the food. "It’s in the kitchen. There's still plenty in the pot.""But I want to eat from your bowl.""But I don't want to give you any."Westley laughed. "Okay."But while Jordan took a bite of the ravioli, he kissed her.Jordan's eyes widened as she felt the ravioli in her mouth being stolen away."You're disgusting."Westley smiled. "Sweet."Jordan couldn't eat anymore and pushed the remaining ravioli to him. "I'm not eating anymore."
