All Chapters of His Biggest Regret Was Me: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

The hands of the clock pointed to ten in the morning at The Grand Luminary.Charlie had put his luxurious suit back on, concealing most of the emotional turmoil he had been struggling to keep under control.Beside him, Leo stood neatly with a small backpack on his back. His tiny arms clutched the wooden ship model tightly against his chest, never letting go of it even once since last night, as though it were the most precious treasure he had ever owned.However, when Charlie walked toward Elena's suite to return their son to her, the corridor felt eerily quiet.The door before him was tightly shut.One of the broad-shouldered guards standing watch outside immediately greeted Charlie with a formal nod."Madam Elena had an urgent matter to attend to outside, Mr. Vane," the guard said briefly.Charlie fell silent. His brow furrowed slightly.A faint sense of unease slowly crept into his mind, but he quickly tried to brush it aside. Elena probably just had something important to take care

"Hi, Miss Stevani. I'm here for a routine health checkup," Charlie replied. His voice sounded flat and calm, even though a storm of emotions was raging fiercely inside his chest.Stevani's brows furrowed slightly. Her eyes scanned Charlie from head to toe, the suspicion in her gaze impossible to conceal."A routine checkup that requires you to come all the way to the international hospital in City-B?""Also to meet Assistant Aria," Charlie replied casually. His chin lifted slightly toward the Aethel Corp bodyguard standing behind him. "There are several operational work details that need to be coordinated."Charlie chose to keep the truth tightly concealed. Telling her that he was at the hospital to visit Elena would only arouse Stevani's dangerous curiosity. If the Vanguard Clan investigated his past and discovered that he was Elena's legal ex-husband, things would become far more complicated. He was even afraid that it might damage Elena's reputation.Besides, Charlie didn't want to

Stevani’s heart pounded behind the restaurant’s bamboo partition. Her delicate fingers tightly gripped her smartphone as she instinctively raised it to record the scene unfolding before her. She decided not to approach Charlie’s table, choosing instead to remain silent while listening to every detail of the conversation.“Leo, say hello to Uncle Ray,” Charlie said gently as he turned his phone screen toward the boy.Leo stopped moving his hands. The little boy looked up and stared into the camera with innocent, sparkling eyes.“Hi, Uncle Ray! Nice to meet you!” he greeted cheerfully, waving his right hand.“Hello, Leo...”Ray’s voice trembled from the other end of the call, unable to hide the emotion overflowing in his heart.Charlie turned the phone’s camera back toward himself.“Mr. Vane, thank goodness...” Ray breathed in relief. “I’m so relieved to know that you’re all right. But... you truly owe me a long explanation later. I’ll hang up now so I don’t disturb your moment. Good af

“Miss Stevani, what are you doing here?” Charlie asked, breaking the cold tension hanging in the morning air. His voice sounded calm, as though he could conceal the surprise that had briefly flashed through his mind.Stevani adjusted her sunglasses before curling her lips into a faint, mocking smile. “Have you forgotten, Mr. Vane? This international school foundation is under my grandmother’s patronage,” she replied sharply. “I should be the one asking that question. What is the CEO of Altair Logistics doing here? Bringing another woman’s child to school?”The suspicion burning in Stevani’s chest intensified. Ever since hearing Charlie’s implicit confession at the Japanese restaurant yesterday, she had been secretly monitoring his movements. Even last night, she knew very well that the vehicle carrying Charlie had entered Elena’s residential compound and had not left until dawn.“Miss Stevani, you know very well that Elena is in critical condition at the hospital. I was only—”“Then d

The atmosphere inside the VIP hospital room was filled with the strong scent of antiseptic. After undergoing a thorough evaluation by the medical team, Elena was finally transferred out of the ICU. A specialist doctor and two nurses carefully recorded her vital signs on the medical chart at the end of the stretcher, making sure that the critical condition that had once threatened her life had officially passed.On the other side of the stretcher, Aria stood stiffly, her posture respectful. Her gaze remained fixed on the face of her still deathly pale leader. Slowly, Elena's previously listless eyes moved before coming to rest on the man in the black suit standing beside her.“Who... are you?” Elena asked.Her voice was so faint and hoarse that it was almost swallowed by the silence of the room.The brief question struck Aria like a bolt of lightning out of a clear blue sky. The assistant's body jolted, her eyes widening in disbelief.“Madam Elena... I'm Aria,” Aria said in a trembling
