All Chapters of Ruthless Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

MAISIEConsciousness returned gradually.I squinted against the brightness, disoriented as awareness slowly returned only to find myself in Jason's bedroom. Hadn't we been in his car?I felt an arm around me and realized Jason was holding me from behind, his warmth a comfort against the morning chill."Awake?" he asked calm and low."How did we get to your house?" I asked, confused by our change in location."I brought you," he answered simply.I rolled over to face him, our faces mere inches apart. "Another night of watching me sleep," I said with a small smile.He returned the smile. Just a slight upturn of his lips and brushed my hair behind my ear. "For me, watching you sleep brings more peace than sleeping myself."I nestled deeper into his embrace, seeking his warmth. "Well, if it makes you happy, I'll sacrifice myself and sleep longer just so you can enjoy watching."I thought my comment trivial, but his soft laughter surprised me.I quickly looked up at him. "You laughed!" I e

MAISIEI went back to the hospital every day, trying to make amends with Don.I brought his favorite books, toys, anything that might coax a word from him. But he steadfastly refused to speak to me or anyone else.The month of heavy grief and turbulent emotions had exhausted his small body. Dark circles had formed under his eyes, and his appetite had diminished significantly.Don longed for just a moment's peace. I could see it in the way his eyes would sometimes drift toward the window, seeking escape. However, something prevented it—a painful thought he couldn't articulate despite his advanced intellect.Jason fared no better. His sadness manifested in a peculiar silence. Not isolation or avoidance, but something more profound. He spoke with doctors about treatment plans, discussed business on the phone, and even made small talk with nurses.He listened attentively to everyone, yet remained silent with himself, unable to address his own pain.The suffering inside him grew visible in

MAISIEI ran out and slammed into a solid chest. I recognized him immediately by his familiar cologne—the distinctive scent that had always been my comfort.Jason.I looked up at him helplessly, my eyes brimming with tears.I could bear it when my son looked at me as if I were the cause of his misery. I would bear that burden willingly. But when he looked at me believing he was the source of my unhappiness? That was unbearable!I pushed past Jason, intending to leave the hospital until the session concluded. However; his hand caught mine in a firm grip."Are you okay, my butterfly?" he asked with concern etched across his features.I yanked my hand away roughly. "No, I'm not okay," I choked out. "And I won't be okay!"Jason stepped closer, studying my face with worried eyes. "What's wrong with you?"I stared at the floor as tears began to stream down my cheeks. "I miss him," I whispered. "I miss him being so himself."I raised my face to meet his gaze, no longer trying to hide my tear

MAISIEMemories of our little moment in Don's recovery room before I fell asleep flashed in my mind with startling clarity. The desperation I'd felt, the overwhelming need for connection and comfort that had driven me to actions I'd never have considered in a more rational state.How I had begged him to take me, my pride abandoned in the face of grief and loneliness. The way my fingers had clutched at his shirt, pulling him closer while tears still stained my cheeks.How he'd refused my ultimate request but still made me cry out his name until my voice became too hoarse and my body couldn't go on anymore with other means.His hands had been gentle yet confident, his lips tracing paths across my skin that left me trembling. He had known exactly how to touch me, how to help me forget the pain, if only for those precious moments when sensation overwhelmed thought.My cheeks turned red in shame as our eyes met. The hospital's lighting seemed suddenly too harsh, exposing every emotion cros

MAISIEThe small velvet box in his hand seemed to hold all the gravity in the universe."I never expected you…” he trailed off. "You crashed into my life like a meteor, brilliant and unstoppable. You changed everything. The way I see the world. The way I see myself." His voice caught slightly. "You made me believe in second chances when I'd given up on even deserving a first one."Tears blurred my vision as he continued, his eyes never leaving mine."I love the way you fight for what matters to you. I love how fiercely you protect those you care about. I love your strength and your vulnerability. I love how you've let me see both."He opened the box, revealing a ring that caught the candlelight and scattered it like stars—a central diamond surrounded by smaller sapphires the color of my dress."I love the family we're building together, and I want to keep building it for the rest of our lives."He took a breath that seemed to contain all his courage. "Will you marry me again? Will you
