Semua Bab Ex-husband’s Regret: Bab 581 - Bab 590

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.

"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

"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

I chuckled softly. "What do you think?"Frank clicked his tongue. "Relying on the fact that I can't touch you right now? It seems you've figured out how to be flirty.""Who's being flirty?"After my retort, I couldn't stop worrying about Grandma. "What if Grandma never recognizes me again?"I had actually prepared myself for the possibility that Grandma might never recognize me again, but it still felt heavy on my heart in front of someone so close to me.Frank comforted me. "Grandma loves you so much. She won't forget you forever. She's just ill, and with treatment, she will get better.""Charlotte, what are you doing?"Yasmin called out to me. After chatting with Frank for a few more minutes and reminding him to take care of himself, I hung up the phone.I walked out of the bedroom, and Yasmin asked with a smile, "Did I interrupt your phone call?""Not at all, we finished talking.""Then let's watch a movie," Yasmin suggested. "I see there's a projector here.""Sure." I li

After finishing up the day's tasks, I suddenly remembered the check-up, "By the way, have the test results come out?""Yes, they have." Frank glanced gently at my abdomen with a smile. "The little one is developing well. Your caution and efforts to protect him have paid off."Seeing this, Alan said whilst holding some documents, "Frank, I'll wait for you in the car."Frank nodded, "Alright."After Alan left, Frank noticed I was looking anxiously towards Grandma's room and said, "Prof. Kilburn mentioned that as long as there are no further shocks, Grandma will likely maintain her current state."I understood the implication, "So, Grandma's health…"Frank nodded and put his arm around my shoulders. "Life and death are natural processes. They are beyond human control. Accept it with a calm mindset. In the limited time Grandma has left, make sure she is happy, and you should be happy too."As he spoke, he checked his watch, probably because he had other things to attend to. "Prof. K
