Ex-husband’s Regret

Chapter

I slapped him lightly. "Stop saying that, the baby might hear you."

Frank clicked his tongue with a hint of grievance.

I massaged his shoulders. "You've been working hard lately. Let me help you relax a bit."

Frank took my hand. "Alright, this little bit of effort from you is like just scratching an itch."

Seeing him back to his usual self, I said, "Grandma's condition suddenly worsened and kept calling out for Ben. But I haven't mentioned Ben recently, nor have I shown her anything about him." Frank tossed his phone to me.

I looked down and saw a news article.

Even though I didn't have any personal feelings for Ben, seeing the word "dead" made my heart skip a

beat.

"Is this real?" Frank took back his phone. "It almost became real."

Jasked, "Is Ben in your custody now?"

"In the ICU."

"So you came back because you saw this?"

Frank nodded. "I remembered that Grandma usually uses her phone after a nap. I thought you'd see it first.

I felt a bit guilty. "My mom came, and I was talking to her, so I didn't check my phone."

"What's Ben's condition now?"

Frank answered, "If he's lucky, he might wake up, but we can't be sure what his condition will be like."

Hearing this, I was somewhat silent.

Whether Ben lived or died wasn't of particular concern to me. What mattered was Grandma's condition; if she couldn't see Ben, she might not be able to go on. Even though a mother's son might be involved in her kidnapping, she still kept a soft spot for him in her

heart.

"As for Simone," Frank stroked my head and continued, "Kevin hasn't been caught, but Simone and Bethany are in my custody.'

"Kevin took the Shaw family's assets. It depends on whether he wants money or the wife and daughter."

Theld Frank's hand, "Kevin is not someone easy to deal with. You need to be careful."

Frank pinched my face hard. "If you could be more obedient, that'll be doing me a favor."

Yes, if I were more obedient, he wouldn't have to be distracted to protect me and could handle things

better.

I looked up at him. "It won't happen next time, okay?"Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Frank met my gaze, and just when I thought he was about to lean in for a kiss, he got up instead, "Don't provoke me." At the hospital.

Yasmin took the clean clothes from Alan and had a shower in the bathroom of the ward.

Afterwards, Alan brought her some ginger soup.

"Frank arranged this."

Yasmin took it and praised, "Very thoughtful."

Alan thought to himself, well, he's going to marry your daughter.

After drinking the soup, Yasmin felt warmed.

She put down the cup and intended to update Charlotte on the situation, only to realize she didn't have her phone.

She asked Alan for a phone, and he replied, "I've already reported everything to Frank. He'll inform Miss Charlotte." Yasmin trusted Frank's handling of things.

She said, "Alright, you carry on. Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself. I'll go check on the old lady." When Yasmin arrived in Grandma's room, she was already asleep.

"Did she receive a sedative?" she asked Prof. Kilburn.

Prof. Kilburn nodded. "There was no other way but to let her sleep first. We can only see how much she can cope right now." "Do you know what caused her to be like that?" asked Yasmin.

Prof. Kilburn unlocked his phone and showed her.

Yasmin didn't know Ben well, not even as an acquaintance. If anything, she hoped to never encounter him again in her life.

But seeing his death reported still made her frown.

"This..." Prof. Kilburn put away his phone. "He's in the ICU. He was poisoned, and treatment has been administered, but whether he will survive is still uncertain."
