Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 578
I slowly ate the food that Frank was feeding me.While feeding me, Frank instructed, "The doctor said you need to rest well. After you're discharged, stay at home with Grandma. If you can't reach me, don't go anywhere."I nodded.There would definitely be more troubles ahead.Right now, I could do nothing but try not to hold Frank back.I looked up at his reddened eyes. "Why haven't you been answering my calls today?""I was so busy that I didn’t have time to return your calls."Hearing this, Frank instinctively began to explain. I sighed. "So you haven't even had time to eat?"Frank's lips curved into a pleased smile. "I thought you were going to accuse me, but it turns out you're concerned about me?"I took the spoon from his hand, fed him some food, and said, "Why would I accuse you? More than anything else, I'm concerned about your health."Frank swallowed the food in his mouth, cocked his brows slightly, and said meaningfully, "Don't worry. My health will ensure your hap

Grandma called my name, but she looked at me as if she was looking at a stranger."Grandma…""Grandma, what's wrong?"I tried to hold Grandma's hand again, but she pushed it away.Slap—The force was strong, leaving a visible red mark on the back of my hand.I was completely stunned.After all, Grandma would never treat me like this.She usually just patted me affectionately and had never hit me this hard."What's wrong?"When Frank entered the room, he saw my dazed expression.I reached out to him and then pointed at Grandma.Seeing the red mark on the back of my hand, Frank's eyes immediately became cold.But in the room, apart from me and Grandma, there was no one else.Frank frowned, unable to believe what was going on. "Grandma hit you?"I nodded. "Grandma seems not to recognize me. When I tried to hold her hand, she wouldn't let me."The coldness in Frank's eyes was replaced by concern. He called for the doctor and also notified Prof. Kilburn.Although the red ma

When Jane learned about Grandma's condition, she was somewhat incredulous."How could this happen?"Seeing my downcast mood, she comforted me. "The world is unpredictable. However, Grandma has supported the Shaw family, which shows how strong and stable she is deep down. So, you don't need to worry too much. With Prof. Kilburn and Dr. Travis around, even if they can't cure her, they can at least stabilize her condition. Grandma has always been so good to you. I believe she wouldn't just forget you."I couldn't be that optimistic. "Grandma might not forget, but this illness is so irrational."Jane was somewhat familiar with Alzheimer's disease. Elderly people with this condition could undergo drastic personality changes and it was common for them to become violent. They often refused to listen to anything and may wander off alone, sometimes would get lost if they reached the streets or other dangerous places.Taking care of someone with this illness was much more challenging than w

Hearing this, I forced a bitter smile, "It seems Ben's true nature was never good. Otherwise, how could he be so easily swayed by Simone to turn against his own mother and daughter?"Jane agreed, "True, but you don't need to worry too much about this. Frank won't let them get away with it.""Let them be proud for a while. They'll only be more miserable when they fall."As Jane and I talked, we drifted off-topic. Before falling asleep, she suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Charlie was drunk a few days ago and said he wanted to tell me a secret about Zachary. But Zachary showed up suddenly and scared him so badly that he became sober. No matter how much I questioned him, he wouldn't tell me. Can you ask your husband about it? He must know.""Sure," I agreed. Frank, Zachary, and Charlie grew up together like brothers. If Charlie knew, Frank would certainly have the inside information.Just as I picked up my phone to message Frank, the screen lit up with a message from him.

The next morning, Frank arranged for Alan to deliver breakfast to the ward. After Jane and I finished eating, a nurse came in to change her dressings. Jane didn't want me to watch. "Now that I'm you’re pregnant with my goddaughter, your mood affects her development. Don't look, okay? Just relax.""Alright."I couldn't argue with her. Just then, Yasmin called me, so I walked out of the ward."Charlotte, where are you? I came to see you, but Julie said you're not home."I suddenly remembered my mom had said that she would come by when she had time. I hadn't expected another incident to occur.I was initially worried about her getting anxious and considered lying, but then realized that lying would require more lies to cover up. Moreover, some issues inevitably involve the Jackson family's influence, and my uncle would probably inform her. If she found out I'd been lying to her, she'd be upset.It was better to tell the truth."At the Smith family’s hospital."Half an hour later

"Of course!" Yasmin agreed readily. She then stood up and said to me, "I'm going to check on your grandmother. Seeing you so worried and restless, and since I don't interact with her often, it shouldn't stimulate her too much. Maybe she'll still remember me."I nodded. "But can you promise me to tell me about any developments, no matter what? Don't hide anything. I can handle it.""You can handle it?" Yasmin tapped my forehead. "I asked Frank on the way here. He wouldn't lie to me, his future mother-in-law. You didn't tell me that you were rushed into the emergency room last night."I rubbed my nose.When I was being honest with her earlier, I had indeed left out that detail. Even though I was fine now, it would definitely be unsettling for my mom.Mainly, if she were worried, she would most likely disapprove of me staying at the hospital. She was already busy and had to divide her energy to deal with my issues. The matter with my grandmother shouldn't be something my mom had to h

Frank gave a brief, mocking smile and said, "Why don't you ask the people present if you're still the chairman of the Smith Group?"Luke gripped his cane tightly.The last time he was so angry that he spat out blood, though it didn't threaten his life, it did affect some of his nerves, making his limbs less agile.That was why he was anxious and had teamed up with Simone to help Ben take control of the Shaw family, and then cooperate with him.With control over both the Smith and Shaw families, he would have more power than Frank.He could also control the latter.But he didn't expect that Frank would come to the Smith Group early in the morning and convene a senior executives meeting without notifying him.That wasn’t exactly true.That brat knew someone would inform him.He had come as quickly as possible, only to find that he was still too late."Earlier, I spoke with Mr. Shaw on the phone. He has completely taken over the Shaw family and is now in charge. He is interested

"You're acting like a thief."Jane, linking arms with Yasmin, walked in. "Ms. Jackson, it's just that your precious daughter is anxious. I just wanted to sneak in and check on the situation."Yasmin laughed. "Am I your enemy now?"Jane pouted. "I'm just not very articulate. Please don't take it the wrong way, Ms. Jackson."Yasmin, knowing her playful nature, wasn't upset. She guided me to sit down and said, "We were chatting. I know you would be anxious."I was quite surprised. "You and Grandma managed to talk for so long?"After all, my mom's relationship with the Shaw family had been strained ever since the incident with Ben and Simone.Yasmin took a sip of water. "I didn't expect it either. Despite the old lady's condition, she was still able to have a calm conversation with me.""I had forgotten some of the details about Ben, but she remembered."Suddenly, she changed the subject. "But I need to tell you something."I had a bad feeling. "Grandma…"Yasmin could tell from

"If I stopped him from coming in, the things he could do would be worse than what's happening now."Yvonne changed into a green, form-fitting long dress, adjusting her makeup and hair in front of the mirror."Then I wouldn't be able to do business at all."Georgina crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe. "I can tell you never really intended to stop him."Yvonne glanced at her, her eyes soft and seductive.Georgina reached out and pinched her. "If I were him, I'd want to sleep with you too.""Get lost." Yvonne pushed her hand away. "Then have Lucifer handle it for me. Anyway, I don't have the authority to stop Blake. He’s a member of the Hilton family, after all."Georgina straightened up and became serious. "Are you sure?"Yvonne didn't answer, adjusting the straps of her dress as she walked out of the bathroom.Georgina smiled. "I knew you weren't serious."She draped her arm around Yvonne's shoulder as they walked out together. "Let's have a good talk. His paren

Caleb truly couldn't interfere. In fact, he hadn't planned to get too involved in Blake's affairs.Occasionally, he could play the supporting role, and that was enough.He stepped aside to make way.Georgina immediately left.Whitney slowly blinked her eyes.Georgina was her idol, and she wanted to become someone like her.Someone who had confidence in everything she did, completely unafraid of offending anyone."Let's go." Millie patted Whitney's shoulder. "If someone didn't know any better, they'd think you had feelings for Georgina. Your husband's still around. If he gets jealous, he might just smash this place to the ground."Whitney did indeed like Georgina, but it wasn't that kind of like.It was admiration and respect.Just as she was about to say something, she met Caleb's cold gaze and changed her words."I'm just worried. Blake seems to be in a bad mood."Millie told her not to worry. "Everything has its match. It's just something between men and women.""And wit

The people at Yvonne's place were all professionally trained, and later, when Georgina married Lucifer, Lucifer had even placed several of his men here.Even though Lucifer and his eldest brother were practically inseparable, he still couldn't get any information from them."Mr. Caleb, it's been a while since I've seen you out having fun."He didn't plan to ask about the people he recognized either. After all, he didn't want anyone to know that his wife had left him to come here and have fun."Blake is here. I'm afraid he might do something stupid, so I came to check on him."Everyone who came to this place knew about the situation between Blake and Yvonne.The Hilton family was not one to be provoked, especially since Yvonne was very close to Lucifer's wife.Two major families—this wasn't something they could just casually comment on.In the past, there were some who tried to "save" Yvonne, but they never showed up again.Later, everyone figured that this might be a kind of g

"Mr. Blake, my relationship with you is merely that of an owner and a guest," she said. "You come, I entertain you, but you have no right to stick your nose into my business."She could wear whatever she wanted.Even if some people had ill intentions, that was their problem.What did her choice of clothes have to do with anything?Back when Caleb and the others came to play, in the summer, she wore even less, and no one had acted inappropriately.Anyone who wanted to act out inappropriately couldn't even step foot through this door anymore.Blake didn't know what she was thinking, but just looking at her attire, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.Silently, he put the coat back over her shoulders, and said gruffly, "It's cold."Caleb found the situation amusing but remained concerned about Whitney, so he didn't smile.At least he knew that with Mrs. Scholfield around, they wouldn't dare make a scene.Otherwise, Lucifer would turn this place into ruins.The tall building

“Georgina.” Whitney took the initiative to walk over and greet her. "Haven’t seen you in ages."Georgina smiled. "Everything's ready. Let's change first. We can talk while soaking in the hot springs."Millie led Whitney to the changing rooms.Yvonne mentioned that she had important guests today and would join them later.Georgina nodded.Caleb and Blake bumped into each other at the entrance.Blake had feelings for his family, but perhaps because he lost his parents at a young age, his personality had grown colder over the years.It wasn't that he didn't care, it was just that he couldn't be like Caleb, always smiling, with a more lively temperament."Caleb.""Blake."Caleb didn't waste time with pleasantries. There was no need between relatives.He walked briskly inside.Blake followed and asked what had happened.Caleb asked the receptionist where Millie's room was.The receptionist smiled professionally. "Mr. Caleb, I'm sorry, although you hold immense power, I still c

Whitney nodded.By the time they arrived, it was already dark.But the entrance of the hot spring resort was bustling with activity.People were coming and going, and the car park at the front was filled with luxury cars.Standing at the entrance was a woman in a purple gown, her figure stunning.In such cold weather, she was only wearing a form-fitting silk dress, and although she had a mink shawl draped over her shoulders, it had started snowing mixed with rain by now.Whitney felt a chill just looking at her.Then, glancing at herself, she realized she looked round and bundled up due to her thin frame, trying to stay warm.Compared to the woman in front of her, she didn't feel the least bit feminine."Yvonne!"Millie tugged Whitney over. "I brought my sister-in-law!"Yvonne excused herself from her guests, letting someone show them in, and then turned to face Millie and Whitney.The moment Whitney met her gaze, she felt a softening in her bones.It was a natural, effort

Caleb's temples throbbed.He regretted some of the things he had done to Millie when they were younger.Whitney was a bit worried, but Millie reassured her to not worry at all.In reality, Caleb was fine.If it weren't for Whitney, she would have exposed his little scheme by now."Gilbert will be here soon.""Also, the doctor said to observe him overnight, but he'll be fine. He can be discharged tomorrow. He's not missing any limbs. Whitney, it's okay to care about your husband, but don't spoil him too much. It'll bring bad luck."Whitney had never heard anything like this before.Millie always said things that were beyond her understanding.Maybe that's the difference between being spoiled growing up and struggling just to survive."Okay."She liked Millie, just as she liked Jane and the others—they were all great girls.Millie pinched her cheek. "That's more like it."Gilbert finished work at his usual time.When he arrived at the hospital, he thought for a moment and c

"You're still trying to make me gain weight." Millie was very kind to Whitney, always speaking in her favor, so she had to support her as well. "I always thought you liked a bit of meat on someone."Caleb wanted her to eat more, gain a bit of weight, and stay healthy.This was a setup, and he wasn't sure how to respond."Only giving me vegetables?"Whitney hadn't planned on cooking meat at all, but since Millie mentioned wanting some, she made cooked some meat."You can't eat anything greasy right now, but I've made some chicken. You can have some chicken."Caleb smirked. "I'll do as you say."Millie couldn't stand it anymore and clicked her tongue a few times.But Caleb didn't give her a chance to speak. "Can't the roast pork shut you up?"Millie was so angry that she gritted her teeth. After finishing her meal, she saw Whitney still feeding Caleb.Unable to stop herself, she said, "Caleb, you've got alcohol poisoning, not a broken arm. Whitney, you should eat. The dishes ar

Whitney felt that Millie probably had some longstanding grudge with Caleb from when they were kids.Therefore, she treated Millie with respect as well.That was why she said those words.What was so great about her?Being able to cook wasn't anything extraordinary.The Hilton family's status in Yelar was such that, had it not been for her good luck in becoming Zachary's sister and getting such an opportunity, she would have likely died in some unknown gutter.As for the various daughters of affluent families surrounding Caleb—beautiful, gentle, intellectual, and so on—the list was endless.Compared to her, they were a thousand times better.And yet, she still thought that Caleb marrying her was a loss.It wasn't as exaggerated as Millie had said."Millie, please don't say that. Caleb can cook for me, too. It's nothing special."Millie was shocked.Could Caleb even cook?But when she saw Whitney's expression, she realized that the times Caleb had cooked for her when they we
