All Chapters of After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets: Chapter 301 - Chapter 310

(Lydia)As I sat in the waiting area with the sounds of the airport buzzing around me, I realized I hadn’t even checked my phone since I’d passed through security. I hadn’t wanted to be distracted, hadn’t wanted to deal with anything outside of my own thoughts and the wrenching feeling in my chest from leaving Thomas and the kids behind. But now, with some time before the flight and nothing else to do but wait, I figured it was a good time to catch up on whatever had piled up in my notifications.I unlocked my phone, quickly scrolling past the usual emails, missed calls, and a few texts from people I didn’t have the energy to respond to yet. But then I saw it. A message from Jenna Clairefield. I blinked, surprised, and immediately clicked it open.Jenna Clairefield: “Lydia, I’m so sorry it’s taken me this long to get back to you. Things have been…complicated. But I’d really like to meet. Let me know when and where.”I stared at the screen, processing the fact that she’d finally repli

(Adeline)The hospital smelled the same as always, sterile and cold, with that faint, unpleasant antiseptic scent that seemed to cling to the air. I sat in the waiting room, staring at the bland, pale walls, trying to settle my nerves. I’d been here more times than I cared to count, but today felt different. Today, Dr. Roberts would look at my scans and tell me if the chemotherapy had done its job, if there was any improvement. I’d been through months of treatment, some of the hardest months of my life, but nothing had felt harder than waiting for these results after they had changed my chemo dosage to see whether there was any effect or none at all.I adjusted my scarf, the one Ruby had given me the last time she visited. She had picked out the softest fabric, something to “wrap myself in comfort,” she’d said. I smiled faintly, thinking of her thoughtfulness, her quiet concern that mirrored Lydia’s. But I knew they worried about me more than they let on. They had enough on their pla

(Thomas)The boardroom was filled with tension, palpable and heavy as Jack and I took our seats at the head of the long table. A dozen eyes shifted between us, expectant and calculating. They’d been at our throats for too long now. I know it had just been a few days but those days had stretched too long for me. So much was packed into one day that they felt stretched out.I didn’t like the way the board had been questioning our every move and challenging our decisions. The up and down in stocks happened to every company, and for us it was nothing new. Them making a spectacle of these drops told me that they had something else in mind.Whatever their plan was, I wouldn’t let them come to fruition.Jack glanced at me, his jaw set in that determined way that told me he was ready. I could see the strain in his eyes. I had faith in his strategies and I knew the board can’t possibly have any problem with that. However, I knew there were many opportunists in this room. These men and women we

(Thomas)The drive to the hospital felt like it took an eternity. My mind was racing, heart pounding in my chest as I gripped the steering wheel tighter than I ever had before. Ruby’s words kept replaying in my head: “It’s Mama…she’s not doing well.”I tried to control the panic that kept rising within me, but my thoughts were spinning out of control. What if it was serious? What if something had gone terribly wrong with the chemo? She had been fighting so hard, but we all knew the toll the treatments were taking on her. And Lydia…my god, Lydia wasn’t even here. She’d be devastated if anything happened while she was away. I had to hold it together for her, for Ruby, for everyone.But no matter how much I tried to steady my breathing, the knot in my chest only tightened the closer I got to the hospital. The traffic lights seemed deliberately slow, and every second of delay felt like torture. I kept glancing at the clock on the dashboard, my mind calculating how much longer it would tak

(Lydia)As soon as the plane touched down in D.C., I felt my body tense. The threat of Nathan and the upheaval in our lives pressed down on me. Thomas had insisted on a security team, and I’d reluctantly agreed. I didn’t like the idea of being surrounded by bodyguards, but I knew it wasn’t just about me anymore. It was about keeping our family safe, and I couldn’t argue with that.The door to the plane opened, and I spotted Roger and Gerard immediately. They had been with me for quite some time now, and seeing their familiar faces gave me a small sense of comfort. But then, behind them, six more men stood in a tight formation, each one scanning the area with a practiced, sharp gaze. My heart sank. Eight men? I thought, feeling a pang of embarrassment. It felt so over-the-top and so excessive. But then, as the reality of Nathan’s threat settled back into my mind, I reminded myself this wasn’t just a show of power or control. This was protection. He was still out there, and if anyone
