Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex-husband’s Regret: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

Feeling like it wasn’t enough, I smiled and said, "Ryan, when I had the miscarriage, you were with someone else. When I came out of the operating room, you slapped me hard and asked me why I didn't stop her, because I was pregnant too... I was afraid of getting hurt... I didn't dare! Are you satisfied with this answer now?""Charlotte..."This was the first time I had seen such a bewildered expression on his face. He reached out as if to hold my hand.Unexpectedly, a pair of hands intercepted him first!Suddenly, Jack returned, his gentleness tinged with sharpness. "Are you here to settle the score for Jessica? This is my doing, it has nothing to do with Charlotte."In an instant, Ryan regained his usual cold demeanor, sneering. "As for your debts, there's plenty of time. No need to rush to offer your head.""I know Ryan's methods," I couldn't help but speak up. "Jack was helping me. There's no need to shift blame onto him. If you want to defend your loved one, just come at me."

The doctor behind the hospital director inquired about my condition, skipped the step of drawing blood and directly prescribed medication. He instructed a nurse to fetch it and started an IV drip for me.When the needle was inserted, I instinctively felt afraid and involuntarily pulled back my hand. Suddenly, a pair of cool hands covered my eyes gently. "Don't be afraid, the needle's already in," a soothing voice said.My heart settled slightly. Just as I relaxed, the needle pierced into my vein.Those hands withdrew, and I helplessly looked up at Jack. "Jack, you’ve learned to lie as well?""A well-intentioned lie." He chuckled softly.After the nurse helped me lie down on the bed, she also applied a cooling patch to bring down my fever. The dean and his group left soon after.The patch felt ice-cold and instantly made me feel much more comfortable.Jack sat beside the sickroom, gesturing outside. His expression was gentle, with a hint of hesitation as he spoke carefully, "Di

My spirits lifted, and I pressed on. "Please don't hold back because of this. The divorce is between him and me. But Grandfather has always been so good to me, I don't want him to leave with unanswered questions."Offering him this reassurance, Albert finally made up his mind to speak. He took out a transparent sealed bag from his pocket, containing only a small pill.And this pill, I was intimately familiar with.It was the emergency medicine Grandfather always carried in his pocket.Albert said, "This was found a few days ago by the servants while cleaning Mr. William's study, under the carpet on his desk."I took it and examined it closely, a chill running down my spine. The air in Jelaston isn't particularly dry, so if the pill had fallen on the ground a while ago, it should have been somewhat damp. But there was no trace of moisture on this pill inside the bag.My voice tightened involuntarily. "When was the last major cleaning at the old mansion?""It happened the day befo

I didn't expect Bob to stoop so low. I furrowed my brow. "Does your uncle know the PIN?""I... I'm afraid I won't remember the PIN myself..."Aunt Laura's face was full of regret. "It's the same PIN as our shared bank card."Both Jane and I were helpless.Bob was an old hand at cheating and stealing money. Once he gets hold of the bank card, he'll definitely transfer the money right away. There's no time to report it lost at the bank now.However, more than this, I was concerned about another issue. "Has your uncle started gambling again?""Yeah..."Aunt Laura wiped her tears and gritted her teeth. "Actually, he hasn't quit all these years, so I didn't dare let him know how much money you give me every month. I never thought this old bastard would dare snatch even the money that saved my life!""Why don't you just divorce him then? Gambling is a bottomless abyss!" Jane was getting angry and couldn't help but say."This time..."Aunt Laura looked up at me with guilt. "I will d

Jane had a strong desire to shop and kept dragging me around. She said she had finally resigned and wanted to treat herself after working like an ox and horse for four years."Look, isn't that the bitch?" When we passed by a luxury goods counter, she suddenly pointed inside.I glanced involuntarily. "It's her."She was holding a purse worth hundreds of thousands, comparing it on herself, presumably planning to buy it.Ryan was always generous towards her.I wasn't interested in watching further and pulled Jane to leave. Jane squinted her eyes and grabbed me, hiding us behind a pillar!I didn't understand what she was doing, so I looked at her with a puzzled expression.She exclaimed, "Your father-in-law!""My father-in-law?""It's your father-in-law shopping with that bitch!" Jane had a face as if she had just discovered something shocking."Isn't this normal?" I smiled. "She has always been my father-in-law's favorite."Even Ryan couldn't get a bit of paternal love, all of
