Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 998
Jane dodged a bullet, and another explosion rang in her ears.She was pulled into a familiar, warm embrace.But the smell of gunpowder and blood immediately filled her nose."Zachary!"Zachary patted her head, soothing her. "It's okay."His voice was hoarse, how could it be okay?Jane dropped what she was holding and quickly wrapped her arms around him.In front of them, Roy had already subdued Luthor, Nina, and the others.However, in the chaos, they hadn't expected Luthor to still be able to shoot with his left hand.Zachary had blocked the shot with his body.Frank arrived shortly after, and upon seeing the situation, he rushed to call for a doctor and pushed a mobile stretcher over.He contacted Westley. "Contact the Greyson Infirmary, preferably Carter Greyson."Westley had close ties with the Greyson family.When he learned that Zachary had been shot, he personally went to ask Carter to treat Zachary.He also arranged a private jet to take them to the hospital.At

"Apply some medicine."Charlotte looked at Jane's condition and paused before saying, "Call a nurse over."Frank sent someone to do that.Soon, a nurse from Cheria arrived.She didn't say much, almost nothing at all.She carefully treated Jane's wounds.Finally, she said, "She can't keep wearing wet clothes. Her skin feels a bit warm to me. She might be burning up with a fever."Frank nodded slightly.He knew that Charlotte had heard her."She can go change in the room next door.""You should change too."Charlotte had brought some clothes with her when she came on a business trip to Nelana. When she found out Jane had been kidnapped, she rushed over immediately.She had brought her suitcase along as well.Jane and Charlotte had similar builds, so wearing her clothes wouldn't be a problem.But given the situation, Jane might not want to change."You can't collapse now. I know you'll want to take care of Zachary, right?"Jane glanced at Charlotte, her voice still carryin

"You have a lot of time now since you don’t need to attend meetings, Mr. Collins."Eric had never considered that Zachary would grow this strong.He had never imagined that Zachary could push him into early retirement.Since didn’t have to go to work, he now had time to deal with Zachary and Jane's situation."Frank, you're close to Zachary, but this is a family matter. It's not convenient for you to get involved.""I'm not involved." Frank put his hands in his pockets and spoke in his usual laid-back tone. "If Mrs. Collins hit Jane, my wife will be upset. When my wife is upset, I'm the one who failed to care for her. So, how can this be just a matter for the Collins family?"Frank was always good at twisting words, and Eric didn't want to argue further.He tugged at Rebecca, signaling her to calm down.At that moment, with both Frank and Charlotte present, they couldn't do anything to Jane.Rebecca was not happy, glaring at Jane. "Are you satisfied now? Do you want him to be

"What, what does that mean?""It’s possible that he might end up in a coma. Be prepared.""How could that be…"Eric quickly supported Rebecca. He was relatively calm. "Is there no way?"Carter shook his head and walked towards Westley. "If he doesn't wake up within a month, we’ll have to call my sister-in-law for acupuncture."Westley’s gaze flickered. He turned to Frank and said, "I’ll have him stay here first."Frank nodded, but didn’t have time to tell Charlotte.Then they heard her scream, "Jane—"Jane had fainted.There was a burst of chaos.While Carter was treating Jane, Frank pulled Charlotte aside and whispered something to her.Charlotte couldn’t focus her mind. "What does this mean? Is Zachary pretending to be unconscious?""Not sure."Frank thought back to Zachary’s condition at the time and felt that the chance of him waking up during the surgery was low.It was most likely that after the surgery, he had been worried about Jane and woke up for a short time, s

Jane rarely saw Charlotte angry.It could be said that she had never seen her angry.Charlotte had always been a calm and rational person."Charlotte…"Charlotte didn’t want to talk about Rebecca’s involvement.Jane and Zachary had faced many difficulties to get this far.After all the struggles, they had both persisted, and she didn’t want to add more obstacles between them."Jane, I’ll say it again, you didn’t do anything wrong. The fault belongs to the people with bad intentions. Even if Zachary had changed his fiancee, this would still have happened. Luthor and Nina are bad seeds, and they wouldn’t give up any time soon."After speaking to Jane, she turned her gaze to Rebecca."Mrs. Collins, I respect you as an elder, but don’t use your status to pressure people. You know better than anyone what’s really going on. If you continue to hurt Jane, I don’t care whether it’s a family matter of the Collins family or not."Rebecca wanted to say something but was stopped by Eric.

"But if, in the future, Zachary ends up wandering the world with Jane, don’t blame me for helping them erase all traces."Eric was rendered speechless. He knew that Frank didn’t intervene because they hadn’t gone too far.Frank had only watched from a distance before.Now, he wasn’t going to stand back and do nothing.After finishing work, Jordan flew straight to Northern Manya.Thank goodness, Jane finally answered the phone."Why didn’t you say something earlier? It’s not safe here, you should head back.""Don’t worry. I’ve traveled all over on my own before…"Jane interrupted with a sigh. "Did you forget when you were saved?"Jordan sighed. "Let’s not bring that up."Jane said seriously, "Listen to me, head back quickly. We’re fine. I’ll find you when I’m back in the country."Just as Jordan was about to say something, a familiar male voice sounded in the background."Let’s go."Jordan didn’t want to, but Jane also heard Westley’s voice, urging her, "It’s safer with h

Jordan expressed her understanding. "The great calamity has passed, and from now on, it will be all good, happy, and peaceful days."Jane nodded. "I hope your words come true."But Zachary did not wake up as quickly as they had hoped.Jane insisted that Jordan return to the country, but Jordan was determined to stay with her.She even said she would take some documentary photos while she was there.One day, while Rebecca went to the hotel to change clothes, Jane sat by Zachary's bedside.Charlotte went to the door to keep watch, leaving the space for them both.Zachary was still unconscious, and Frank had to return to Jeswood. In addition to overseeing his own business, he also had to help keep an eye on the Collins family’s business.As soon as Charlotte closed the door, she received a message.She replied to confirm she was fine and then sat down on a nearby chair.In the room, Jane held Zachary's hand.As she got closer, she noticed a strand of grey hair behind his ear.

The little girl covered her mouth and giggled, “Have a guess, Mom.”Jane was about to say something when the door to the ward opened.A beautiful but unfamiliar woman walked in.Her gaze fell on the little girl's face, and she smiled helplessly. “Gemma, are you playing tricks again?”The little girl ran up to her and hugged her legs, her voice clear and sweet. “Mom!”Actually, the little girl didn’t need to say anything. When the woman revealed a dimple on her cheeks, both Jane and Charlotte had already guessed.The mother and daughter looked very alike.“Hi, Tanner Mayes.”Jane hurried over and shook her hand. “Are you Dr. Greyson's sister-in-law?”For some reason, she felt a trace of coldness flash in Tanner’s eyes.Tanner didn’t answer the question. Instead, she said, “Let me see the patient.”Jane quickly moved aside and pointed to Zachary.Tanner walked to the bedside and checked Zachary's pulse.Jane was well aware of Carter’s medical skills. He was famous for saving

Jordan hadn't decided yet. "Do you have any particular places you'd like to visit?"Jane said, "Then let's go shopping."She turned to Charlotte. "Can you walk?""I’m fine. If we get tired, we can find a place to sit and rest."Jane then looked at Whitney and asked if she wanted to go.Whitney nodded.The four girls made a quick decision and set off.Ross was eating an apple when he saw them coming out together. He immediately asked, "Mrs. Collins, where are you going? Do you need me to give you a lift?"Jane looked at the car behind him and noticed there were no other cars."Take us to the biggest shopping center.""Okay."The MPV was large, and with just Ross as the driver, it was more than enough for the four of them to sit comfortably."Ma’am, there are yogurts and snacks next to you, all your favorites."Jane glanced at it and said, "Remember to tell Zachary that it’s too late to apologize after making a mistake."Ross would only repeat the exact words to Zachary, an

Ross agreed and turned to leave.Jane kicked the door open with her foot, then stepped onto the balcony, and Whitney quickly came to help.After setting the breakfast down, she noticed something was wrong.Jane and Charlotte exchanged a glance.Jane asked in confusion, "Why are there things in here that neither Charlotte nor I like to eat?""It seems that Zachary and Frank were a bit careless."Whitney quickly said, "I can eat what you don't like."She wasn't picky about food, it was just that she used to not have enough to eat, so she had always eaten less and stayed thin.Jane hadn't heard Ross mention that Caleb had come.She said, "Don't you think Caleb specifically bought this for you?"Whitney was puzzled.Charlotte pointed and said, "The things we like to eat were all prepared by Frank and Zachary. They wouldn't purposely prepare things we don't eat. So, what do you think the extra food is for?"Whitney was momentarily stunned.She thought it was because Jane had or

Whitney washed up and went straight to bed.She didn't have the habit of playing on her phone before bed.Before coming to Nelana, all her work had been handed over.If something urgent came up, someone would call her.So she didn't check her phone, and thus missed Caleb's message.Caleb was on the hotel balcony, with his phone placed on the small coffee table.He held a glass of wine, swaying it absentmindedly.His gaze, however, remained fixed on the phone.But even when it got to dawn, there was no reply from Whitney.The man curved his lips slightly and lit a cigarette.He leaned against the balcony railing, waiting for the sun to rise.Whitney woke up in the morning, went to wash up, and after she finished, took a book from her luggage and went to sit on the swing on the balcony to read.As she passed the kitchen, she made herself a cup of coffee.She didn't like to move much, most of her time was spent on improving herself.She tried to learn as much as possible.S

Westley didn't say anything either.Zachary and Frank were a team, he was no match for them in an argument.His relationship with Caleb wasn't that close, so it was impossible for the latter to help him."They're having barbecue for lunch," said Frank, locking his phone. "They just ordered the ingredients."Jordan found two power strips and moved the pot to the balcony."Good thing we have these, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to eat.""Why do you have so many pots left in this house?" asked Whitney."I lived here for a while before," Jordan placed the plates and cutlery down. "I also feel like leaving these things here makes it seem like Grandpa is still around."Whitney apologized.Jordan smiled and reassured her, "It's fine. No need to apologize. From now on, we're good friends."Whitney nodded and smiled in agreement, "Alright.""By the way, Jordan.""What's up, Jane?"Jane said, "Both Zachary and Frank have booked hotels, so they don’t to stay here.

Jordan and Whitney chatted casually.Most of the time, it was Jordan doing the talking while Whitney listened.After covering enough about the wedding, they talked about Jordan's work over the past few years.She also mentioned the tangled feelings and past with Westley.When she got to that part, she grew a little curious. "Whitney, before you married Caleb, did you ever like anyone?"Whitney shook her head."What about a secret crush?""Not even that."Whitney rarely talked to others about her past.Zachary only knew because he had looked into her and thought she was perfectly suited to be a pawn.And she had needed to become that pawn—to completely sever ties with her past, achieve her goals, and fulfill her ambitions."I was too busy studying and working to think about anything else."Jordan sensed she didn't want to go further, so she didn't press.Just then, Jane called, saying she and Charlotte would arrive soon and join them for lunch.She relayed the message to W

"We had a meal together before, and I noticed you always seemed to like sweet dishes, so I tried buying some. I was worried it might not suit your taste.""It does, it does." Jordan took a bite of the pudding. "It's delicious. But did you buy anything you like to eat?"Whitney said, "I already had breakfast. I can't eat anymore."Jordan offered a suggestion, "Why not try a bite of this sponge cake? It's a specialty here in Nelana."Whitney really couldn't eat any more. She had a small appetite, a condition built up over the years.If she ate a full meal, she couldn't eat snacks afterward. And if she ate snacks, she would lose her appetite for meals.She had a small stomach.But seeing Jordan looking at her so expectantly, she still picked up a piece of sponge cake and took a bite."It's very good."Jordan smiled and took a big bite of the sponge cake herself."Whitney, you're so good at picking food! This is great!"The old house was a bit remote, but it had a rooftop terrac

Jordan said Whitney would be coming over later.Westley hadn't expected that the first one to get out of bed would actually be Whitney."Just the two of you?" he asked."For now, yes."Jordan glanced at her phone. In the group chat, it was just her and Whitney talking—no response yet from Jane or Charlotte.She more or less knew why Jane hadn't responded, but Charlotte too?Still, it didn't really matter. There weren't any specific plans for today anyway.She hadn't known Whitney was coming, so it was a nice surprise."Maybe my sister will text me around noon. We can decide what to do then.""You." She pointed at Westley. "You are not allowed to show up in front of me again after breakfast."Westley nodded. "Got it."After buying food, Whitney told Caleb, "I'm going to find Jordan. You can go handle your stuff. I'll be staying at her place until the wedding."Caleb leaned against the elevator wall, his voice low and lazy. "You're telling me what to do?"Whitney wasn't in a

She replied with an emoji, then looked for her girls in the group chat to ask them out for food.Their group chat had a new member now—Whitney.And it was Whitney who replied to her."I'm already eating at the hotel. Do you want to come over, or should I bring something to you later?"Whitney had actually had a good night's sleep.Though it was a bit later than her usual habit, she still managed to get up for breakfast.Before, it was always Caleb who brought breakfast to the bedside and fed her, because she simply couldn't get out of bed.Jordan figured she was probably having breakfast with Caleb and decided not to bother her."No need, I'll just eat something nearby. Your hotel isn't close to me."Whitney replied. "I'm heading over later anyway, but I'll probably be a bit late. If you're hungry, go ahead and eat something first. I'll bring you something else."Jordan. "Thanks."Whitney. "No problem."Caleb noticed her holding her phone, her expression much softer, even t

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
