Ex-husband’s Regret

Jessica glanced at me. "It's convenient, but my mom has been waiting for you. It's just that Charlotte better not come in first. The doctor said my mom has been in a coma for too long, and her memory is quite confused. It's best for her to see only familiar faces first, to avoid affecting her physical and neurological recovery."

The way she said it made it seem like I would be committing some unforgivable crime just by entering.

I wasn't that insensitive. I looked at Ryan. "You go in. I leave first."

"Since that's the case." Ryan coldly glanced at Jessica, then put his arm around my shoulder. "Let's wait for Ms. Wood to recover for a few days before coming to see her."

I glanced at him in surprise, wanting to push his hand away, but he acted as if he didn't notice, unmoving.

." Jessica looked embarrassed, her eyes reddening. "Yesterday, you drove me away, and now at this time, you still...'

"Ryan..."

"Jessica, don't be unreasonable."

From inside the ward came a weak voice of a woman. Let Ryan and Ms. Wilson come in quickly."

Only then did Jessica reluctantly descend the steps. "Come in."

Although Lauren had been in a coma for so many years, under the care of a top medical team, her condition seemed quite good.

As soon as Ryan entered, she grabbed his hand, tears streaming down her face.

If I hadn't known the truth a long time ago, I might have been moved by her display of motherly love.

"I'm glad you're safe. As long as you're safe, these years of my coma have been worth it..

"Ryan, I heard from Jessica. You got married, but Grandpa wouldn't let you marry her..."

"Oh look at me, saying all this. Ms. Wilson, please don't mind. They were so in love back then. I just feel regretful."

I smiled ambiguously. "Please don't mind? For the sake of your daughter, Mr. Frost and I are getting divorced soon."

Jessica must have already told her this before we arrived.

But she deserves an Oscar for regretting it, first shocked, then angry, and finally apologetic as she looked at me. "Ms. Wilson, don't mind Jessica. She's just childish. Once she sets her mind on something, she won't let go. As for Ryan, he's used to indulging her..."

The entire performance was perfect.

She never admitted that it was Jessica's fault.

I smiled, seemingly quick to speak. "Well, temperament is inherited. I wonder if her stubbornness is inherited from you?"

To enter the Frost family, she didn't hesitate to push someone who had been pregnant for ten months

down the stairs.

Jessica's methods were no less ruthless than hers..

As soon as I said this, her face changed suddenly. Hurt and confused, she looked at me, almost crying." Ms. Wilson... have you misunderstood something?"

She tugged at Ryan's arm again. "Ryan, did I say something wrong just now? Please help explain to Ms. Wilson for me. I've been in a coma for so many years; if I said anything offensive, please don't take it to heart."

Ryan thought I was venting my dissatisfaction about Jessica causing my miscarriage and gave me a look, then said softly, "Ms. Wood didn't know about those things. Don't blame her."

Lauren asked with a slight pause, then spoke with deep meaning, "Whatever happened, I hope you can take care of her more, for the sake of my only daughter."C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"Mom!" Jessica seemed deeply wronged, accusing, "They were already planning to send me abroad, to Manya!"

Lauren looked at Ryan in astonishment. "Ryan, what Jessica said... It's not true, is it?"
