I thought your condition wasn't that serious when Lorraine told me about your situation, it turns out...." She sobbed between her words."Mom...." Nathalie reached out to rubbed her arm.

You're still alive?"Nigel's grip on the woman's arm tightened. "Of course, I'm still alive, and I won't die yet - not until you receive the punishment you deserve.""Ha?" Lorraine went puzzled. "What are you talking about? Do I owe you something I didn't know?"Nigel shook her violently out of rage; he didn't seem to care that she was a woman or that she was old enough to be his mother. "Stop denying it! You're only making your guilt worse. Just admit what you've done already!"Lorraine resisted. "Let me go, you're hurting me!" When she managed to break free, she immediately distanced herself. "Are you insane? What am I supposed to have done that you're talking about?" "However much you deny it, I won't let you get away with it. You're such a vile woman; you shouldn't be a doctor, you should be in jail."

I really wondered, what kind of mindset your ex-husband has. Good grief! The good thing is that you're finally free from him." Said the agitated Lorraine after she told everything to nathalie about what she went through because of Nigel. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Nathalie massaging her temples. "Nat, are you alright? What's wrong?" She checked on her heart monitor watch."I'm fine 'mie. I apologize for what Nigel had done to you." "Hump! Why are you apologizing on his behalf? He should be the one to apologize to me. And don't ever defend him, he's not even worthy of your concern.""Fine, can you just calm down now? You've been agitated since earlier. What's important is, the cops didn't take side with him and they didn't detain you illegally. But, I have a request for you.

She told me she was going to the restroom a while ago.""She went to the restroom a while ago, but she's still not here?""I don't know either, maybe Nico knows where his sister is.

The room went quiet. Rebecca was the first to break the silence and asked, "S-sister, what did you just say?" Rina repeated what she said, and this time, everyone reacted. They turned to look at Lyka almost in unison.Lyka looked down in embarrassment, uneasy under the scrutiny of everyone's gaze. She felt like a specimen under observation.It hadn't sunk in yet for Nigel what his aunt had said, not until he noticed everyone staring at him with doubt. He seemed irritated by the questioning looks, and his irritation was evident in his tone. His face darkened as he turned to his aunt. "I have no idea what you're talking about, where did you even get that?" He then turned to Lyka. "Is that how desperate you are to cause trouble for us?""W-wait a minute... You're saying... Nigel got this girl pregnant?" Lucille asked, pointing to Lyka. "How did that happen?" She looked puzzled, unable to understand how it was possible, given that she knew Nigel had feelings for Nathalie. So, how did h

"Your brother Nigel is already home with his girlfriend," Rina pointed out."What's the point, anyway? Our plan won't push through since the result is negative," Lyka replied. She looked somewhat disappointed."I know we didn't get what we wanted, but are we just going to give up like that? It would be a waste to come all the way to the city for nothing.""What else can we do?... Aunt, why don't we just go back to the countryside? I'll just continue my studies there.""What? No way! I'm not going back there to be a farmer and get my skin burned again by the intense heat of the sun. Why would I struggle there when my sister and her son have such a great life here?""But Aunt...""Just don't give up yet, I'll see what I can do. Maybe I can find a way, you never know." Lyka fell silent and didn't say another word.Rina headed to the hospital where Lyka had taken a pregnancy test.

"Nathalie, listen carefully...." Nigel 's expression was utterly serious. "You must hate her because she's the one who started it all...." And then he told her about Elaine's fake heart condition.Nathalie clenched her fists. "So, she wants me dead? What did I ever do to her to make her want my life? I already gave you up to her back then and I even decided to donate my heart to her just to prolong her life.""Well, she's not worth it. She's evil, and if she really needs a heart donor, it would be a mistake for anyone to donate to someone like her." "Never mind, it's over now. What's important is that she didn't succeed completely. She may have separated us for three years, but we're still together. For everything she's done, let's just leave it to God to punish her."Nigel smiled slightly. "Um, from now on, no one can ever separate us again... not even her... Nathalie..." He wrapped his arms around her waist. "We haven't done this yet, but can I...?" Nathalie smiled sweetly, she le
The Regretted Ex-Husband: Wife, Please Give Me A Chance Chapter 53 – The Truth Revealed
Things have been back to normal for the past two weeks. The newly reunited pair is happy, although their current relationship feels a bit weird since they used to be married. They actually prefer this setup, where it's like they're starting all over again, getting to know each other as boyfriend and girlfriend. Travelling together or wherever they decide to go is also part of their plans."Wow, you two seem like you're on your honeymoon already! Where do you plan on making our future grandkids?" Lucille asked when Nigel and Nathalie told them about their vacation plans. "M-mom!" Nathalie exclaimed, her face quickly turning red from her mother's teasing. Lucille and Rebecca burst out laughing, while Armando just listened quietly as he sipped his coffee. "Just kidding, why are you blushing so quickly?" ."Um.... I-it's just..."Nigel gently rubbed Nathalie's back to calm her down, although he couldn't help but feel a thrilled. "Alright Aunt, Nathalie might change her mind and we won't
The Regretted Ex-Husband: Wife, Please Give Me A Chance Chapter 52 – The Trap Is Set
Nathalie didn't see that coming from Nigel, she found herself glancing around at the people teasing them, egging her on to respond. Her eyes then landed on her parents. Her mom, Lucille, gave her a reassuring smile and a nod, as if to say, 'The decision is yours.'Nathalie couldn't help but think of all the times Nigel had helped her and her family, and how patient he had been with her. She didn't want to respond to him just out of gratitude, so she took a moment to search her heart. She leaned forward slightly, her hand on her chest. In those few moments, she confirmed to herself what she truly felt, and so..."Nigel..." She called out to the man standing before her, who had been waiting for her response. Though he didn't show it, he was clearly anxious. His embarrassment was the least of his concern, but that she might not give him another chance. "I'm grateful for all the help you've given my family, but I don't want that to be the reason I give you what you're asking for–""Nathal

When Rebecca told her son about his sister's apology, Nigel just shrugged it off. But when she mentioned that Rina would be attending his birthday party, he scowled. "No!" Rebecca frowned. "Nigel, can't you just forgive your Aunt Rina? Give her a chance to make things right, she really regrets everything she's done.""Regrets? Do you think she can just have regrets like that? If she wants me to believe her, she should go back to the countryside." "Nigel!" Rebecca's forehead was furrowed. "Is your anger towards her really that great? She's your aunt and your own flesh and blood. Why are you so stubborn? She's just asking for a chance." "What chance? A chance to pester us again?""Okay...." Rebecca sighed, looking stressed. She rubbed her forehead. "I won't argue with you anymore...... Sorry son, but whether you like it or not, I'll invite her. All I want is for you two to talk and make amends." "You're the one who's in charge, Mom. But I hope you won't regret your decision."....

When Rebecca got home from work, she found Nigel crying while her brother in-law tried to calm him down. Rina was nowhere to be found since she was out to play mahjong. Rebecca was shocked to see that Nigel, who was almost two years old, had a gauze on his forehead. When she asked what had happened, Rina's husband explained:"While Rina was engrossed in playing mahjong at their house, Nigel woke up and immediately cried when he found himself alone in the room. One of Rina's mahjong buddies mentioned that her child was awake, but Rina simply replied that the crying child wasn't hers. She called out to her husband, but he wasn't around because he had gone out to buy something.Nigel's crying persisted since no one was attending to him, until Rina and her friends heard a loud thud from the room, followed by Nigel's intense wailing.

Nigel's face darkened. "Aunt, I didn't ask for your opinion, and who do you think you are to question my decisions?" "You..." Rina was taken aback by her nephew's response. "I'm your aunt!""You may be my aunt, but our relationship only goes as far as blood ties. You've never contributed anything to our lives, so learn your place. If not, you might just find yourself going back early." "Nigel..." Nathalie intervened, worried that things might escalate further between him and his aunt. She spoke softly. "She's your aunt, you shouldn't speak to her like that."Nigel sneered. "Heh, aunt? I've had enough of this woman. If only you knew her true nature.""Are you threatening me, huh, Nigel?" Rina asked loudly. At that moment, she was being held back by Lyka, who had pulled her away earlier because she seemed to want to charge at Nigel. "And what are you saying that I haven't contributed anything to you and your mother?... Pfft!" She pretended to spat to the side. "You ungrateful little

As soon as they entered the suite Nigel booked for them, they were amazed. The VIP suite was huge and luxurious, with two bedrooms and a spacious living room. "Wow, this room is massive! And look, the bed is so soft!" "That's right, aunt. It's crazy how rich your sister's husband is. I'm so jealous." Lyka said while checking out the amenities in the room. Rina suddenly fell silent. Earlier, she had a smug look on her face, but now it seemed like she was consumed by envy. She couldn't help but compare her simple life in the countryside to her sister's luxurious life in the city. 'Why hasn't something like this happened to me? Is it because Rebecca is prettier than me?' She clenched her fists in frustration, gripping the bedsheet tightly.Rina's reverie was interrupted by a sudden knock. When Lyka opened the door, a hotel staff member stood before them. "Good afternoon, ma'am, just checking in. Are you getting hungry or do you need anything?"Rina approached the staff member in curi
