Ex-husband’s Regret

Jane tossed her hair and, while booking a plane ticket on her phone and said, "Since you're worried about Frank, I'll go check on him for you." I didn't really need that.

I admitted I was worried about Frank, but I couldn't let my good friend get into danger.

"You..."

Just as I was speaking, a video called came in.

Seeing it was Frank calling, I answered, "What's up?"

"What... is... up?"

Frank repeated my words very slowly.

Then I remembered. "I didn't hang up on purpose; Jane wants to go with Zachary to your side, and I'm trying to stop her."

Frank's voice became a bit heavier. "Don't let her come."

Before I could reply, Jane said, "Mr. Smith, I'm an adult..."

Before she could finish, Frank abruptly hung up the video call. I sent a question mark in response.

He replied, "Someone will stop her. You don't need to worry."

I replied, "Got it, I'll wait for you to come back."

With Frank's words, I watched Jane leave.

Worrying didn't help, and I felt a bit uncomfortable in my lower abdomen.

I guessed it was due to stress.

Since waiting at home was making me anxious, I decided to go to the hospital for a checkup and unexpectedly ran into Dr. Travis.

"Not feeling well?"

I answered honestly, "My lower abdomen feels a bit uncomfortable. I came to check it out."

Dr. Travis took me to an examination room and checked my pulse.

"Feeling down?"

I nodded. "Frank went abroad and ran into some trouble. I'm worried."

Dr. Travis withdrew his hand and prescribed me some medicine. "You need to keep your emotions in check. Don't overthink things. Last time, you almost lost the baby. Be careful." wanted to, but I couldn't control it.

The baby was important, but the baby's father was important too.

Dr. Travis noticed my thoughts and said, "I know it's not easy. Just take this medicine to help maintain the Pregnancy."

He asked casually, "Did Frank say when he'll be back?"

I replied, "He'll be back for Christmas."

Dr. Travis nodded. "Then just take the medicine for these couple of days. Stop once he's back. If there's any problem, call me right away."Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

I got up. "Thank you."

Dr. Travis said, "No need to be so polite with me."

I thanked Dr. Travis again and left the hospital, only to find it was raining outside.

A bodyguard held an umbrella, making sure I didn't get a drop of rain on me.

When I returned to Region Gardens, I saw Jane, completely soaked.

"How come you didn't find shelter from the rain? You didn't even call me!"

Lhurried over and pulled her into the bathroom.

"First, take a hot shower. It's not summer anymore, it's December. You can catch a cold."

While she was showering, I made some tea.

After Jane finished washing up, she came to the kitchen with damp hair and hugged me, looking pitiful.

"Charlotte, from now on, I give up on pursuing Zachary.

When Frank said that, I just thought it would be best if Jane didn't go abroad.

I never expected it would turn out like this.

I rubbed her head. "What did he do to you?"

Jane leaned against my shoulder. "He didn't say a single word I wanted to hear. For the sake of the baby, I won't talk about it with you." Hearing that made me even more curious.

"I don't think my child will be ruined by just a few words."

Jane let go of me, her eyes dim. "You're just being nosy."

I smiled. "So just tell me."

Jane leaned against the door frame, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow over her eyes.

This was the first time I had seen her look
