Ex-husband’s Regret

I had already reached my limit.

I needed to consider the baby, so after breakfast, I planned to sleep.

Frank was down, Alan was still injured, and Zachary was here to keep watch for a couple of days. The Smith family and SZ Technology had accumulated quite a bit of business that needed addressing.

Before leaving, I wanted to talk to Jane, but she was sitting on the sofa, absorbed in her phone, giving no sign that she wanted to chat.

Given the current situation, it wasn't the best time for a conversation. I decided to wait.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

I dreamt of my grandmother again.

She probably wasn't at ease about me, as she kept coming to my dreams.

"Lily, throughout life, one must experience birth, aging, illness, and death. I am very happy that while I am still alive, I can have this period of grandparent-grandchild relationship with you. At first, I thought I would never see you again in this life." Thugged my grandmother tightly.

"Grandma..."

I cried freely in her embrace, I didn't want to hear her say those things.

I didn't want to lose her, but I had to accept that I already had.

"Grandma."

I kept calling, over and over.

"Grandma, can you come back?"

It was a wish, I knew it was a wish.

But I still wanted Grandma to return.

She patted my back and spoke slowly, "Lily, you must live well. I'm waiting for my great-grandchild to call me 'great-grandma. Since you promised me, you can't go back on your word. I can't keep coming to find you, and you shouldn't worry too much about me. You are my granddaughter, but in the future, you will be Frank's wife and the mother of your child. Just let me live in the deepest part of your heart, leave the other spaces for them. Be good, don't grieve for me so much."

1 sensed Grandma was about to leave and hugged her tightly.

But she still vanished from my arms.

"Dr. Travis, is Charlotte okay?".

Jane looked worried.

I had been sleeping well, but suddenly started crying and was now trembling all over.

Frank had woken up after the anesthesia wore off and insisted on being by my side despite his condition.

She was truly at her wits' end.

Dr. Travis knew there wasn't much he could do. "It was a nightmare."

"It was expected, after all, her grandmother just passed."

Frank suddenly spoke up, as if he had made a great resolution, "Dr. Travis, we can't keep this child..."

"Frank." I woke up just in time to stop him. "This child is ours, you can't make decisions unilaterally."

"I can't watch you suffer like this. If we keep the child, Dr. Travis won't be able to provide treatment for you, and it will only bring you more pain."

"I'm fine."

I held onto his arm and sat up, he propped a pillow for me.

I reached out to touch his forehead. "You, on the other hand, should rest properly."

How could Frank rest peacefully?

"Charlotte, this child..."

"Let's keep the child." I took his hand and placed it on my belly. "I will definitely keep the child. Please don't say those things in front of the child anymore, the child can sense the outside world now."

Frank pursed his lips and fell silent for a while, still wanting to express the same sentiment.

I looked at Alan. "Is it done?"

"It's done."

Alan immediately walked over and handed me a small square box.

I opened it and took out the ring inside, placing it on Frank's finger.

Frank frowned, staring at the ring as if trying to see through it.

I handed him the women's ring. "How about you put this on me?"

He looked confused but complied.

Our hands, adorned with rings, intertwined, and I said, "Frank, I need to take care of Grandma's funeral and other matters, so I won't be able to marry you any time soon, but I'll use this to make a promise to you."
