Ex-husband’s Regret

I wanted to give him a second chance for the child and for myself.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Jane didn't try to dissuade me, she simply asked, "Have you thought about the consequences if it doesn't

work out?"

"Yeah, I've thought about it."

If things didn't go as expected, I would disappear completely to avoid any possibility of losing the child.

With this decision made, I lost all desire to go home and cook. I casually ate a salad in the neighborhood and then retreated to the sofa at home.

While waiting for Ryan to return, I immersed myself in work with my laptop.

I waited until the afternoon, but there was still no sign of him at the door.

Unable to resist, I sent Ryan a message. "Are you coming back soon?"

I waited for a while but didn't receive any replies.

What urgent matter could keep him this busy? I hadn't heard from Jane that anything had gone wrong at the company.

With autumn days growing shorter and nights longer, the sun began to set by five o'clock.

The orange sunset poured in. Outside the window, the autumn wind rustled. Suddenly, I felt a strong sense of loneliness rising in my heart, my actions became faster than my thoughts. Before I knew it, I had picked up my phone.

I hated waiting around when I didn't know what was going on.

Almost as I dialed Ryan's number, Gary's call came in, embarrassed, "Madam, I'm sorry, I have some personal matters to attend to. Can I have DHL deliver your medical examination report to you?" "Has the urgent matter at the company been taken care of?"

Gary was puzzled. "What urgent matter?"

"I thought..."

Suddenly, I understood. What made Ryan leave me behind today wasn't a business matter at all.

I changed the subject immediately. "Is the medical report ready?"

"Yes, the hospital called me this afternoon."

"Then I'll go pick it up myself."

"Mrs. Frost, I think I should..." He hesitated.

"It's okay. Gary, St. Heart is close by. You focus on what you have to do."

After hanging up, I drove to the hospital. While waiting at a red light, I tried calling Ryan again.

There was no answer.

As the green light was about to come on, a black sedan suddenly ran the red light, speeding past so fast that nothing could be seen clearly, heading straight into St. Heart Hospital. Only when a wife is about to give birth would someone be this desperate,' I thought.

Unexpectedly, I was right.

After parking the car, as I passed the emergency room, I heard passersby talking to each other.

"If every woman could have such a good husband, who would be afraid of giving birth? His eyes were full of worry."

"Yes, especially when the husband's so handsome. His anxious look made him look even more handsome!"

"But why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?"

"Oh, come on, you think every handsome guy looks familiar."

'It must have been that car just now.' I smiled

As I stepped towards the outpatient area, I saw a tall man being hurriedly pushed out of the emergency room by nurses.

"You wait outside! The doctor can treat your wife better if you wait outside!"

I saw that familiar handsome face and my head buzzed. I stood there and was dumbfounded.

The man who usually never had a single wrinkle on his suit was now rumpled, with sleeves and trousers stained with clumps of blood.

Such a sight was terrifying.

Whose blood was it, and how did it come to be? The answer was obvious.

I wasn't far from where he stood. In fact, if he glanced in my direction, he would notice me.

But he didn't.

He only stood outside the operating room anxiously, his heart and eyes fixed on the woman inside. I had never seen him like this. He was like a trapped beast.

"Jessica."
