"Frank!" Frank quickly responded, "Yes, ma’am." I felt both angry and heartbroken. His smiling reply didn't hide the beads of sweat forming on his nose. I noticed him frowning while Prof. Kilburn treated his wound. Though he was trying to endure the pain, some instinctual reactions couldn't be controlled. I turned around, looking away from him. It was partly because I couldn't bear to watch, and partly because I was indeed angry. Frank signaled for Prof. Kilburn to hurry up. Prof. Kilburn quickly finished the treatment and left Frank and me in the ward. Frank took my hand, but I shook it off. I heard him hiss and quickly turned back, "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." Frank wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into his embrace. Just as I was about to struggle, I heard his hoarse voice, "Charlotte, it hurts." I froze. Even though I knew this was his little scheme. "Serves you right." "Yeah," Frank agreed. "I deserve it." "Then

Frank immediately understood. "Is it serious?" Alan was thinking about how to cooperate with Frank to deceive Charlotte. If Charlotte got angry, it would be much scarier than Frank getting angry. "It's not serious, but he's hospitalized. He might be waiting for someone to visit." Frank dragged out the sound of "oh." I just watched them, not saying anything. Alan finished what he needed to say and slipped away. Frank and I exchanged glances for a moment, then he asked, "Shall we tell her?" I asked, "Are you going to do as I say?" Frank nodded. "Of course, I'll listen to my wife." I playfully retorted, "Who's your wife?" After this trip abroad, Frank spent more time at home. He accompanied me to every prenatal check-up. Any work he could bring home, he did. This led to a bit of trouble. While I was happy he was with me, I didn't have time to design my wedding dress. Under Jane's urging, I already had a rough draft. However, I didn't want

"I'm sure everyone has heard some news. When I initially denied my mother-daughter relationship with Christine, everyone has been curious since then." "Here, I need to clarify..." Yasmin recounts Simone's past misdeeds and how Christine deceived her, preventing her from recognizing her own daughter. After all, she was a well-known actress, and tears come easily, just a few drops flow when needed. Today, she chose a light-colored gown, willingly playing the supporting role for her daughter. With tearful emotion, her performance was heartfelt and highly infectious. People in the audience were starting to wipe their tears. But among the crowd of reporters, there was a woman in a mask whose sharp eyes glint with malice.When Jane came to the lounge to find me, Frank happened to have a call and stepped out to take it. Jane looked me over, teasingly asking, "What's wrong? Why are your ears so red?" I shot her a sidelong glance. "What are you thinking? He just suddenly br

Boom— As the scream rang out, an explosion echoed. In an instant, the banquet hall erupted into chaos. I instinctively protected my abdomen, but as I tried to escape, I found myself in a familiar, warm embrace. "Frank—" The smell of something burnt flooded my nostrils, and another explosion sounded, people scattered in panic, creating more chaos. "Oh my God, it's sulfuric acid!" The screams around me heightened everyone's fear. People fled in a frenzy, crowding me and Frank so we couldn't move. Christine was like a madwoman, completely disregarding the crowd. Some were splashed, causing even more uproar. Just as I saw Christine rushing towards me, in a critical moment, Alan pushed through the crowd and restrained her. But he was also burned in the process. "Charlotte, are you okay?" I forced myself to stay calm. "I'm fine, quickly take Frank to the hospital!" Prof. Kilburn and Dr. Travis also arrived and got into our car. After we rushed

I couldn't avoid it even when I was out at sea. The wind picked up, and the ship swayed violently. I had already been feeling unwell, and after a series of heart-pounding events, I was now throwing up into a trash can and seeing stars. Suddenly, a bottle of water appeared in front of me. I knew who it was from, but I didn't take it. Yet the person offering the water didn't give up, he opened the cap and held it to my lips. I turned my head, and as the ship swayed, water spilled everywhere. "Charlotte." That voice was all too familiar. My stomach churned even more violently, and my hands couldn't stop shaking. It was Jack. He was someone I had once trusted completely. After I finished throwing up, I wiped my mouth with a tissue and said coldly, "Don't call me that." Jack scoffed, "Why can Frank call you that, but I can't?" I knew that everything that had happened today was tied to him. Christine showing up in the banquet hall was likely his d

Frank woke up very quickly. Earlier than expected. So much so that Alex hadn't finished dealing with things on his end. Zachary and Alan hadn't found any trace of Charlotte either. Jane waited at the door of Frank's ward, while Alana waited next door for her child to wake up. Both were on edge. Jane was about to go get a hot coffee to calm her and Alana's nerves when the ward door suddenly opened. She turned her head in a daze. Seeing Frank's pale face made her even more anxious. Her lips fumbled for a moment before she managed to say dryly, "You're awake..." Although Frank looked unwell, the coldness and pressure he exuded hadn't diminished at all. "Where's Charlotte?" Jane had to tell the truth quickly, even if Frank went mad, he could find Charlotte faster. "She went into the emergency room but hasn't come out. We went in to look, but no one was there, and now..." "Frank." Jane's words were cut off by the hurried arrival of Zachary. Za

Frank's attitude made him feel even more guilty. "I was indeed careless, I admit to my mistake." "Is this really the time to admit mistakes?" Frank returned to the ward, taking a few steps while cold sweat poured down. The sweat seeped into his wounds, making his lips turn pale from the pain. Zachary followed behind, saying, "I'll definitely find her and bring her back in one piece. You can't let your injuries worsen, if they get infected, you could die." Frank ignored him and walked around the room, asking Zachary, "Where's my phone?" Knowing Frank's personality, Zachary didn't try to persuade him further and handed him the phone. Frank called Alan. Alan had already felt guilty due to the chemical plant explosion. He had been looking for a chance to make up for it. Now it seemed to be a case of mistakes compounding. Alan answered, "Frank." "Any leads?" Alan knew what he was asking about and immediately replied, "No. The hospital's surveillance
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 617
As night fell, the entire city was enveloped in damp darkness. I didn't know the full situation in Jeswood. Without a phone and with no clock in the room, I could only see the dark sea through the small window, making it impossible to tell the time. It wasn't until Jack came to deliver food that I guessed it must be evening. "Why aren't you using your cutlery?" I didn't trust Jack, I didn't even dare to drink water, let alone eat the food he brought. Seeing through my thoughts, Jack said, "I don't care. If it comes to it, I can just give you a nutrition shot. After all, I never intended to keep this child." He was certain I wouldn't let my child starve, but if there was something wrong with the food, it would only make things worse. Caught in a dilemma, I grew to hate Jack even more. Jack met my furious gaze with a smile. "Then go ahead and starve." With that, he walked straight out, closing the door behind him. I leaned against the head of the bed,

“Why?” asked Jane.“Because such an opportunity is rare,” replied Zachary.Westley indeed cherished the opportunity tonight.Regarding potential rivals, he had investigated a lot.Oliver was the only person who was a little close to Jordan.So tonight, he was confident he could remain emotionally stable and have a proper conversation with Jordan.But he hadn’t expected to encounter a problem as soon as they got off the plane.“Jordan!”Leanne, holding a large bouquet of sunflowers, immediately passed the flowers to Jordan upon seeing her.“If I hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t have been able to catch you. It’s been so long since we’ve gathered together.”“No matter what happens between you and my brother, we can’t cut off our relationship, right?”Jordan had always had a good relationship with the members of the Howard familyNo one treated her poorly or like an outsider.During her school years, any troublemakers had been dealt with by the Howard family.Especially Leanne, who h

Zachary was rendered speechlessFrank teased him, "Family status."Zachary ignored him, as if Frank's family status was any higher."Dominic is keeping an eye on things over there, which is reassuring. The finished products have already been produced, and Jordan helped take some photos. The promotional effect has been good.""Dominic is reliable. It's just a pity I can't model for the later set of the clothes' promotions. Honestly, I really wanted to wear them, the patterns in the later designs are even more intricate."Charlotte glanced at her belly. "You're not showing yet, so you can wear them. I had Dominic send them over. I was in a rush to come back today because of Jordan and didn't bring them, but when the package arrives, you can wear them for the shoot."Jane sighed. "I wonder if the girl will still have time to help me take photos in a few days. I want her to take my maternity photos too.""Whether or not she gets divorced, if you ask her, she’ll definitely come.

“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
