Semua Bab The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye: Bab 741 - Bab 750

Frank didn't believe a word Mona had said. He ordered people to tail her and asked Kane to dig into her and that man's background.The man's name was Cliff. Fresh out of surgery, he couldn't speak yet and had to stay in the hospital for a while.Every morning during rounds, Frank would personally check on Cliff. More than that, whenever he had spare time, he would show up in Cliff's room, claiming it was all in the name of being a responsible doctor.Mona was always by Cliff's side, taking care of him. But the moment Frank walked in, her whole body went stiff. She wouldn't even look at him.At first, she tried leaving whenever Frank appeared, making excuses to step out. But Frank, shameless as ever, would trail after her--sometimes pulling her into the stairwell and laying his hands on her.After that, Mona stopped trying to avoid him, but she still never met his gaze.Frank enjoyed this little game of cat and mouse, especially after Kane told him the truth: Mona and Cliff had never r

The moment Frank dragged her inside, Mona struggled hard."What the hell are you doing?!" she snapped, glaring at him.Frank didn't answer. His lips curled in a wicked grin as he cupped her face and kissed her hard.Mona froze. She hadn't expected this at all. By the time she realized what was happening, she shoved him away in a panic.Frank licked his lips, raising a brow at her with a look that said he wasn't nearly satisfied."You—!" Mona ground her teeth and glared at him with fury.Seeing her flustered expression only made Frank smirk more smugly.Just then, a knock came at the door."Mona? Frank? Everything okay in there?" Cliff's voice sounded from the hall.The instant Mona heard him, she rushed for the door and pulled it open.Frank's face darkened immediately.Cliff noticed Mona's shaken expression and gently took her hand. "Did you invite Frank already?"Frank's eyes dropped to their joined hands, his jaw tightening."Yes," Mona murmured, pulling away from Cliff as she slip

Frank's fever had come and gone quickly.By the next morning, Mona spotted him from her window, looking perfectly fine and heading off to work.Don't ask how she managed to recognize him from ten stories up—she just did. One glance at the crowd of tiny figures, and she knew which one was Frank.Once she was sure he'd gone, Mona finally relaxed enough to go about her own plans.Cliff had been busy these past few days, and she didn't want to just sit around the house. Realizing she was out of some household essentials, she decided to make a trip to the store.The elevator was under maintenance until the evening, so she took the stairs instead.But just as she reached the ninth floor, she saw Frank climbing up toward her. Her face instantly darkened."Mona!" Frank lit up the moment he saw her, bounding up with a grin."Weren't you supposed to be at work?" Mona asked, unable to hide her irritation."Forgot some files." He waggled his brows, leaning closer. "Wait—you saw me heading out? Fr

Since Mona had agreed to take care of Frank, he had no intention of staying in the hospital any longer than necessary.After a night of observation, the doctors confirmed his concussion wasn't serious. By the next morning, he was discharged.Knowing he was in a foul mood, Mona didn't want to upset him further, so she came alone to bring him home. Kane had even called that morning, offering to send a car, but Mona had refused.Frank didn't want to sit in a wheelchair, but to look more pitiful—and to keep Mona's attention—he finally relented, letting her push him home."The doctor said all your tests look fine for now, but you still need to take it easy. Just stay in bed and rest. If you need anything, call me," Mona said as she helped him into bed and pulled the blanket over him.Frank's cheeks flushed. In a low voice, he asked, "What about... the bathroom?"Mona shot him a sidelong glance, her lips curving into a faint, almost mocking smile. "Your hands work just fine. I'll help you g

After Frank's emotional outburst, Mona didn't leave his room until he finally drifted off to sleep.Out in the living room, Cliff was still sitting on the couch. When Mona came out, he finally stirred."He's asleep? Then let's go home," he said as he rose slowly to his feet.Mona tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "You go ahead. I'll stay here tonight."Cliff's eyes narrowed. "Do you realize what you're saying?"Mona nodded, silent but firm.He sighed. "Don't forget why we came here. Sooner or later, you're going to have to leave.""I know." Mona's gaze shifted to the closed bedroom door. "But at least not until his leg heals. After all, he fell down those stairs because I pushed him."Seeing the guilt etched into her face, Cliff frowned. "You're not staying because you care about him, are you?""Of course not!" she denied instantly.Cliff let out a humorless laugh. She could deny it all she wanted, but he saw the truth in her eyes. Either Mona hadn't realized her own feelings ye
