Ex-husband’s Regret

I had completely forgotten about this matter.

I didn't expect him to still remember.

I wiped the water off my face with a soft towel. "It's okay, I'm fine."

He frowned. "Weren't you feeling unwell last night?"

I couldn't say that the doctor advised against sexual activities during the first three months of pregnancy.

I could-find an excuse for it. "I'm fine now."

He didn't seem to believe me. "Really?"

If I were to go, he would definitely take me to a private hospital owned by the Frost Group, using the VIP

channel.

No waiting in line and the medical reports would come out very quickly.

But that way, I couldn't possibly hide the fact that I was pregnant.

"I don't want to go, I don't like going to hospitals." I avoided his gaze.

"Charlotte." Ryan squinted his eyes. "Are you hiding something from me?"

Thud!

His question was too sudden, I got nervous, and the skincare product in my hand fell onto the marble countertop. It made my heart skip a beat. My guilt was too obvious.

He walked over and straightened my body, and his dark eyes seemed to want to see through everything. Is there really something you're hiding from me?"

"Ryan..."

He hesitated and curved his lips slightly. "Are you... sick?"

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Yes, so let's hurry up and get divorced. Don't hold each other

back."

"No way!"

He suddenly raised his voice, with an imperceptible tremor, grabbed my hand, and pulled me outside.

"Ryan, what are you doing?"

"Going to the hospital."

He was using so much force that it made my wrist ache.

But I had no time to be angry. "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I'll die?"

As soon as I said that, he suddenly turned around. His expression was cold and his teeth were gnashed. If you die, even if you're buried, I will dig up your ashes and bury them in the Frost family's graveyard."

His fierce appearance startled me, and when I regained my senses, I couldn't help but sneer.

"Are you crazy?"

Why was he acting like he was so affectionate?

If I didn't know better, I would think he had fallen in love with me.

Ryan's face darkened slightly, but he still didn't let go of my hand. "Come with me to the hospital."

If I continued to refuse, he might just check my medical records.

It was a lose-lose situation.

"Fine, let's go," I said reluctantly in a trembling voice.

"Are you nervous?"

"No."

'Not nervous, just scared.'

But I had no choice.

On the way to the hospital, I was absent-minded the whole time, thinking about what would happen if he found out I was pregnant. Could we still divorce after Grandpa's 80th birthday?

Or...

Would he allow me to have a child, bringing conflict to his and Jessica's future life?

Thinking of the latter, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine.

Looking at Ryan driving beside me, his profile tense and cold, his mood clearly at its worst.

I became even more uncertain.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

It was supposed to be a routine check-up, but when we arrived at the hospital, the director of the hospital himself greeted us.

"I won't have a CT scan."

When deciding on the examinations, I spoke up proactively.

"Why not?" asked Ryan.

"I just had one during the company's check-up recently It's unnecessary to expose myself to more radiation when I'm perfectly fine."

After saying this, fearing his suspicion, I was about to add more when Ryan glanced at the director of the hospital.

"If there's something wrong with her body, can other tests detect it?" he asked.

"The other tests should suffice, Mr. Frost," the director replied.

"Alright then." Ryan's face softened.

Taking advantage of this, I continued, "And as for the ultrasound, I had it done last time....

In a normal check-up, only the ultrasound could reveal my pregnancy.

If I could avoid this, there would be nothing to worry about.

Seeing this, Ryan frowned, and his face became serious. "Does ultrasound also involve radiation?

I remained silent.

While the director went to instruct the doctors to prepare the examination report, I couldn't help but say, Ryan, why are you so concerned about my health? Are you afraid people will say you're mistreating your wife?".
