Ex-husband’s Regret

Frank couldn't be bothered to argue with someone like Jack. If it weren't for the sake of the child, he wouldn't want to get his hands dirty with more blood.

Now that the antidote was in hand, he never expected that one day he would believe in god.

It was all for the child and for Charlotte's lifetime of peace and happiness.

Her early life had been too harsh.

"Even without your antidote, I wouldn't let Grandma come to harm. Put away your filthy thoughts. If you keep trying to harm my wife, I'll make sure you won't be a man anymore." Jack knew Frank's methods well.

Besides Charlotte, no one could tame this lion that bites its prey and never lets go.

But Jack wasn't intimidated easily.

Covered in mud, Charlotte was his only light. He would never let go. He also... couldn't bear to let go.

"You won't have a solution. Even if you find someone to develop an antidote, Madam Shaw won't be able to wait that long. Moreover, you can't possibly develop one yourself. The antidote I have is the only one. There's only one chance." Frank clenched his fists again.

Seeing his eager fists, Jack's gaze grew increasingly harsh, and his words took on a mad, obsessive tone.

"No matter how despicable or filthy you are, it won't help you here."

Frank's lips curved into a mocking smile.

He suddenly relaxed his fists, slipped a hand into his pocket, and his voice returned to its usual casual tone, though his entire demeanor remained cold.

"I'll make sure to cure you of your delusions." The mocking tone in his smile deepened. "No need to thank me."

I was restless in the car. Although I trusted Frank to handle things, I worried about any possible mishap.

Alan, who was keeping watch outside the car, comforted me. "Don't worry, Charlotte. Frank always handles things thoroughly."

"I know, but..."

But being in the midst of the situation made it hard to stay calm.

After waiting for a long time with no sign of movement, I couldn't help but want to check what was happening. But as soon as my foot touched the ground, I was pushed back into the car. Then, with a familiar, crisp scent, I was enveloped in Frank's embrace.

In my ear was a more familiar voice, one that both reassured and unsettled me. "Miss me already?"

1 hugged Frank back and nuzzled against him.

But Frank pulled away from me. "If you can't help me with my desires then don't cling on to me."

I gave him a glare. "Can't you be more serious?"

Frank seemed to take pride in it. "I am being serious. Don't always slander me in front of the child. If the child doesn't like me, I'll have to settle the score with you."

Unable to argue with him, I decided to return to the main topic. "What did Jack say? Is he willing to give us the antidote?"

Frank placed his large hand on my abdomen, appearing somewhat hesitant.

I was puzzled. "What's wrong?"

He was never one to hesitate or second-guess. He did whatever he wanted.

No one could control or restrain him.

What w

What was going on now?

But Frank finally spoke, "Have you ever wondered why he has the antidote?"

"You mean..."

I had considered this question a bit after calming down in the car, but I was reluctant to believe it.

"The poisoning of Grandma has something to do with Jack?"

"I suspect he's the mastermind behind it."Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"What?"

I was even more shocked,

Jack had been so good to me in the past that even now, I never imagined he could be the one behind this!

He always seemed so gentle, and being around him was like basking in springtime.

I even thought he wouldn't harm an ant.

But that mysterious person, though I had never met them, seemed ruthless from his actions.

It was hard to connect Jack with the mastermind behind the scenes.

Even though he had shown a ruthless side earlier.

I paused for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Are you analyzing this rationally? There's no personal emotion involved, right?"

Frank pinched my face. "Who's the one with personal emotions?"

I had indeed been subjective, and I admitted my mistake in time. "I trust you. I believe everything you say."

Frank chuckled. "Alright, since you've come to your senses in time, I won't hold it against you.

"Are you sure? If so, doesn't that mean the only antidote is in his hands?"
