Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 586
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

Because I was absolutely certain that this man cared more about me than I do myself, that was enough.Jane was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled. "You're really a hopeless romantic. But Frank is indeed worth it."She said this while refilling my glass with juice, and reminded me, "However, the design of the wedding dress should definitely be prioritized. After all, it's such an important occasion, it needs careful consideration.""Alright, I'll do as you say." I pretended to concede. Unexpectedly, with her fiery temperament, she immediately began discussing the design of the dress after finishing the meal. She was more anxious than the bride herself, afraid that I might regret something at the wedding.That night, my mom called to say she had to attend a film festival in the next few days and wouldn't be able to visit me."It's fine, Mom. Jane is here, and with Julie cooking at home and Frank's people around, I'm well taken care of."Yasmin felt reassured and ended the ca

“Let’s go back to the the Howard family’s residence.”“It’s too late, I don’t want to disturb them.”Jordan gritted her teeth. “Then let’s go to your house. It’s so big, we can each take a room and not disturb each other.”Westley calmly took a sip of tea. “It’s not very convenient.”Jordan’s temper flared. “Let’s just stay in a hotel!”Westley replied, “There are too many people watching me in Nelana. I don’t want to be misunderstood.”Jane and Charlotte exchanged a look.They both understood each other’s thoughts.Before, they had thought Westley was calculating and manipulative.He had always been clever at using tricks to handle Jordan.Now, they realized it wasn’t just that.This man had a thick skin—he could say anything without blinking.But they didn’t fully understand Westley’s intentions.He clearly had the chance to spend time alone with Jordan, perhaps to explain some things and clear the air.Yet he kept refusing.If he felt it was inconvenient, if he didn’t

At that moment, someone under Westley came to report.“Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Howard flew to Jeswood. They’re likely going back to celebrate Mr. Collins and Mrs. Collins’ wedding.”Westley immediately booked a flight as well.When Jordan saw Jane, she started venting her frustrations.As she spoke, her voice gradually faded, and she apologized, “I’m sorry. It’s your big day, and here I am talking about this.”Jane poured her a cup of tea. “It’s alright, I understand. I invited you to celebrate, which is sudden of me, considering you’re in the middle of a divorce.”Jordan shook her head. “I could use the good vibes. Hopefully, it’ll help me get the divorce finalized smoothly.”Zachary and Frank exchanged glances, wisely choosing not to get involved in the conversation.What they didn’t expect was for Westley to show up at such a critical moment.He even handed Zachary a gift. “Congratulations.”Zachary instinctively looked at Jane and saw her smiling faintly. His scalp tingled wi

Zachary had already planned for today.He didn’t take Westley’s words to heart.He assumed Frank would explain things to Charlotte.Who knew Charlotte actually accompanied Jordan to Nelana?“It’s not that, it’s just a coincidence.”Jane chatted with Charlotte and asked about Jordan’s situation.Charlotte said, “Westley didn’t show up, so the young girl is very angry right now. I’m taking her to get some photos taken.”“Then after you’re done, come back. How can I celebrate without you here?”Nelana and Jeswood weren’t far from each other. Charlotte checked the time and agreed.“If you’re hungry, just eat something first. Don’t keep waiting. Once I’m on the plane, I’ll let you know. You can roughly estimate the timing.”“Alright!”Jane hung up the phone and looped her arm around Zachary’s. “I want to eat a strawberry cake.”Zachary helped her into the car and instructed Ross to drive to a cake shop.He got out of the car himself to buy it.As Jane ate, she asked, “So if We

“I don’t care! I must go back and put on some makeup!” Jane declared.Ross, who would rather face Zachary’s wrath than make Jane unhappy, immediately prepared to turn the car around.But Zachary stopped him. “Keep driving.”He gently patted Jane’s back to calm her down.“I know you’re excited about getting the certificate, but don’t get so worked up—think about the baby.”Was that what he thought this was about?Jane grabbed Zachary’s ear. “Are you getting old and becoming deaf? I said turn the car around! If you keep pretending not to hear me, don’t even think about me taking a photo with you to get the certificate when we get there!”In the end, Zachary had no choice but to compromise.Jane hadn’t done her makeup in a while. With the sudden pregnancy, she hadn’t had the time to prepare maternity-safe cosmetics.So they went to the mall, where she bought what she needed and applied a full, flawless makeup look.Feeling beautiful and confident, she finally went to the Civil A

Jordan planned to return to Nelana right after breakfast.Yasmin tried to persuade her to stay a few more days.But she was eager to return and finalize her divorce.Charlotte decided to accompany her since she hadn’t had the chance to visit Dominic and look at the finished products after Jane’s recent accident.Frank wanted to tag along, but Charlotte stopped him. “You stay here and handle things.”Frank sneered. “You’re just tired of me and keep coming up with reasons to stay apart.”Charlotte had been hearing this from him a lot lately and was immune to it by now.She patted his shoulder, linked arms with Jordan, and walked away.Frank was rendered speechless‘Fine.’Westley had never drunk so much alcohol before.Although he wasn’t completely wasted, there were still some things he remembered clearly.However, his headache was intense.Buck brought him some water, asked about his schedule, and reported on the events of the night before.Westley paused while drinking t

She could say nothing more.Moreover, even if she said something, it would be useless.Zachary achieved his goal and turned to leave.After the door to the ward closed, Rebecca picked up a piece of yellowing apple to eat.The old lady of the Collins family sighed, “We didn’t raise him in vain.”Rebecca wiped away tears, she still couldn’t bring herself to like Jane.But Zachary was her only son. At this point, there was nothing she could do to stop him.She could only look the other way and let it go.She said to Eric, “Jeswood is too cold. Take me to Clisfield. This is what you’ve promised me.”Spring had already arrived in Jeswood, it wasn’t cold at all.But Eric still immediately arranged for tickets to be booked.There were still several months before Zachary and Jane’s wedding.In the meantime, she could relax and gradually come to terms with things as time passed.Eric looked at the elderly couple. “Mom, Dad, come with us. The weather there is warm year-round.”Zach

If this were Jane, just a single cough would send him into a panic.Rebecca felt that Zachary now cared more about Jane than her.“Even if Jasper isn’t her biological father, how can you be so sure her real parents are good people? What if...”Zachary finished slicing the apple into small pieces, placed them on a plate, and handed it to his mother.His tone was unhurried. “I can accept anything. As I said before—I will marry no one but her.”Rebecca didn’t take the plate, so Zachary set it aside.The apple, left untouched, began to oxidize and turn brown.Zachary lightly tapped the apple with the fruit knife and said, “There are more than one path in front of me.”Rebecca opened her mouth to speak, but Zachary interrupted her.He pulled out a photo and handed it to her.“The Collins family doesn’t only have me for the official route. There is a sister who can take my place.”Rebecca was stunned. “What sister?”Zachary produced a document. “A recently acknowledged goddaughte

“I forgive you, I forgive you.” Jane ruffled his hair. “Such juicy gossip is worth forgiving. But I’m warning you, don’t try to trick me again next time.”Zachary raised his hand. “I promise.”Jane was satisfied. She ate her fill, felt sleepy, and went to bed.Zachary tucked her in carefully and planted a kiss on her forehead.“I’m heading to the hospital.”“Okay.”At midnight, Raymond released the results of the paternity test.Originally, not many people were paying attention to Jasper’s situation anymore.After all, so much happens every day, and with Zachary’s maneuvering, the buzz had already died down.But as soon as the paternity test result was revealed, it caused an uproar.“I knew it. With the way he was behaving, how could the child be his? And yet, he dared to make such a fuss.”“All those people defending Jasper should apologize!”“Unbelievable. This scum is still alive and even dared to go online to play the victim. If I ever see him, I’ll make sure to give hi

Jane felt that Zachary had too many tricks up his sleeve.Moreover, she felt that it was better not to fully trust men.There was no such thing as absolute honesty.Even she couldn’t achieve that herself.Jane leaned back against the sofa, looking into his eyes.Her stare made Zachary feel a chill down his spine. He cleared his throat and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”Jane gave a sarcastic smile.Zachary was rendered speechless.He tactically glanced at his watch and asked, “Are you sleepy?”“Nope.”“Hungry?”“Nope.”Jane raised her hand and patted his face. “Playing tricks on me?”This feeling was like looking at himself.For a moment, Zachary didn’t know how to react.The corners of his lips twitched slightly as he said, “I’m just trying to discuss things with you.”“Oh, okay.” Jane nodded. “I believe you.”He realized he was wrong—he shouldn’t have tried to help Westley.Zachary hugged her, trying to appease her. “He deserves it. From now on, I won’
