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
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 583
"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

Frank gave a brief, mocking smile and said, "Why don't you ask the people present if you're still the chairman of the Smith Group?"Luke gripped his cane tightly.The last time he was so angry that he spat out blood, though it didn't threaten his life, it did affect some of his nerves, making his limbs less agile.That was why he was anxious and had teamed up with Simone to help Ben take control of the Shaw family, and then cooperate with him.With control over both the Smith and Shaw families, he would have more power than Frank.He could also control the latter.But he didn't expect that Frank would come to the Smith Group early in the morning and convene a senior executives meeting without notifying him.That wasn’t exactly true.That brat knew someone would inform him.He had come as quickly as possible, only to find that he was still too late."Earlier, I spoke with Mr. Shaw on the phone. He has completely taken over the Shaw family and is now in charge. He is interested

"You're acting like a thief."Jane, linking arms with Yasmin, walked in. "Ms. Jackson, it's just that your precious daughter is anxious. I just wanted to sneak in and check on the situation."Yasmin laughed. "Am I your enemy now?"Jane pouted. "I'm just not very articulate. Please don't take it the wrong way, Ms. Jackson."Yasmin, knowing her playful nature, wasn't upset. She guided me to sit down and said, "We were chatting. I know you would be anxious."I was quite surprised. "You and Grandma managed to talk for so long?"After all, my mom's relationship with the Shaw family had been strained ever since the incident with Ben and Simone.Yasmin took a sip of water. "I didn't expect it either. Despite the old lady's condition, she was still able to have a calm conversation with me.""I had forgotten some of the details about Ben, but she remembered."Suddenly, she changed the subject. "But I need to tell you something."I had a bad feeling. "Grandma…"Yasmin could tell from

"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
