Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 585
"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

At the Suburban Sanatorium.The hospital said that Luke was no longer in any immediate danger, but he would be bedridden for the rest of his life. However, if he engaged in active rehabilitation, there was still hope for some independent movement.Frank only sent him to the sanatorium. He skipped the rehabilitation and instead spent a fortune hiring someone to take care of Luke for the rest of his life.Luke's speech was slurred, his mouth crooked, and saliva dripped whenever he opened his mouth. A caregiver had to put a bib on him, much like a child.Luke had never endured such a disgrace in his life. He regretted his anger and agitation from earlier.Seeing Luke glaring at him, Frank's lips curved into a faint smirk. "You should be grateful. You have a good wife. Otherwise, a person like me, whom you call a scoundrel, wouldn't let you live comfortably. If you want to control me so badly, then keep your eyes wide open and watch how I live freely and arrogantly."Back at Region G

I chuckled softly. "What do you think?"Frank clicked his tongue. "Relying on the fact that I can't touch you right now? It seems you've figured out how to be flirty.""Who's being flirty?"After my retort, I couldn't stop worrying about Grandma. "What if Grandma never recognizes me again?"I had actually prepared myself for the possibility that Grandma might never recognize me again, but it still felt heavy on my heart in front of someone so close to me.Frank comforted me. "Grandma loves you so much. She won't forget you forever. She's just ill, and with treatment, she will get better.""Charlotte, what are you doing?"Yasmin called out to me. After chatting with Frank for a few more minutes and reminding him to take care of himself, I hung up the phone.I walked out of the bedroom, and Yasmin asked with a smile, "Did I interrupt your phone call?""Not at all, we finished talking.""Then let's watch a movie," Yasmin suggested. "I see there's a projector here.""Sure." I li

Region Gardens was not far from the hospital. Frank didn't intend to sleep, but after my insistence, he closed his eyes and took a short nap. Even such a brief rest was enough for him to fall asleep, which showed just how exhausted he was.I didn't want to wake him, since there were bodyguards with us. However, as soon as the car came to a stop, he woke up, instinctively gripping my hand and protecting me as I got out of the car. He had informed the hospital director in advance, so the check-up went quickly. While waiting for the results, Frank, concerned that I might overthink things, started talking about the Shaw family’s situation. "Simone knew I wouldn't let them off, so after that night, she poisoned Ben and forced him to sign the asset transfer agreement."I didn't react much to the news. Ben brought this upon himself. I only asked, "Does he know about Simone and Kevin? And that Bethany is their daughter?"Frank shook his head. "It was all staged. Kevin kidnapped Simo

After finishing up the day's tasks, I suddenly remembered the check-up, "By the way, have the test results come out?""Yes, they have." Frank glanced gently at my abdomen with a smile. "The little one is developing well. Your caution and efforts to protect him have paid off."Seeing this, Alan said whilst holding some documents, "Frank, I'll wait for you in the car."Frank nodded, "Alright."After Alan left, Frank noticed I was looking anxiously towards Grandma's room and said, "Prof. Kilburn mentioned that as long as there are no further shocks, Grandma will likely maintain her current state."I understood the implication, "So, Grandma's health…"Frank nodded and put his arm around my shoulders. "Life and death are natural processes. They are beyond human control. Accept it with a calm mindset. In the limited time Grandma has left, make sure she is happy, and you should be happy too."As he spoke, he checked his watch, probably because he had other things to attend to. "Prof. K

My mom quickly caught me and held me steady.But due to this delay, Grandma had successfully gone out of the house.I hurriedly grabbed an umbrella to chase after her.My mom stopped me, "You can't run. Take it slow. I'll go."She swapped the large umbrella she had for my small one and went after Grandma.I couldn't slow down my pace at all. making sure not to harm the baby, I tried to keep up with them as quickly as possible.My mom had already caught up with Grandma, but Grandma was struggling fiercely, repeatedly calling out Ben's name. They were both drenched, and the umbrella was ineffective against the rain.I stepped forward to offer my umbrella, but the wind was too strong, and it barely provided any cover. Besides, Grandma wouldn't let me shield her."Ben, you need to take me to find Ben!"My mom didn't dare use too much force for fear of hurting Grandma, so she just went along with her outside.She looked back worriedly and said to me, "You should go home now. It's

I slapped him lightly. "Stop saying that, the baby might hear you."Frank clicked his tongue with a hint of grievance.I massaged his shoulders. "You've been working hard lately. Let me help you relax a bit."Frank took my hand. "Alright, this little bit of effort from you is like just scratching an itch."Seeing him back to his usual self, I said, "Grandma’s condition suddenly worsened and kept calling out for Ben. But I haven't mentioned Ben recently, nor have I shown her anything about him."Frank tossed his phone to me.I looked down and saw a news article.Even though I didn't have any personal feelings for Ben, seeing the word "dead" made my heart skip a beat."Is this real?" Frank took back his phone. "It almost became real."I asked, "Is Ben in your custody now?""In the ICU.""So you came back because you saw this?"Frank nodded. "I remembered that Grandma usually uses her phone after a nap. I thought you'd see it first."I felt a bit guilty. "My mom came, and I w

After dinner, Frank and I headed to the hospital together.I had packed some food for my mom, but when we arrived at the ward, no one was there.Grandma was already asleep, so there was nothing much to worry about for now.At this point, it all came down to whether Ben would survive.Frank took me directly to the ICU.I saw Yasmin standing there and walked over. "Mom."Yasmin looked at me. I was initially worried she might be upset by the situation, but her face was calm and emotionless.I didn't ask further, just pulled her to sit down. "Have something to eat.""Frank has told you everything, right?" asked YasminI nodded.Yasmin cursed, "He's a disaster.""If he had listened to the old lady even a little, things wouldn't have turned out this way.""I actually hope he survives, just to see how his beloved Simone is with someone else, and the daughter he's cared for all these years is someone else's. It's really satisfying."I looked at Frank, "Did you tell my mom all this

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."
