All Chapters of A Parting Regret: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Chelsea Stone stared at the ultrasound report in my hand. Her smile slowly froze on her face.“Are you married?” A look of disbelief flickered in her eyes.“Yep.” I put the report away and kept a calm expression.She moved her throat as if she wanted to speak. A male voice behind her interrupted her.“Chelsea, Operating Room Three is ready. Hurry.”The sickening smell of blood from three years earlier seemed to rise in my throat again.Three years earlier, he was the man who had been lying naked next to Chelsea.“Got it,” Chelsea replied in a calm voice, although her gaze stayed on me.“Chelsea?” Adam followed her gaze and froze for a moment.Chelsea looked at me one last time before she turned and walked toward the operating room.As soon as she left, Adam began to examine me. He noticed the ultrasound report in my hand and gave a mocking smile. “It’s you, Jensen Scott. Your wife is pregnant? Congratulations. I wonder why you were the only one lining up in the corridor to fi

My fierce screaming echoed through the corridor.Less than half a minute later, Chelsea rushed in with a group of medical staff. Her expression changed when she saw my unconscious mother on the bed. She made a quick decision. “Defibrillator. Administer epinephrine. Family members, step aside.”I stepped back and stood against the wall.Adam stood in the corner with a pale face as he tried to look calm.The rescue lasted for twenty minutes. My mother finally escaped danger, although she remained in a deep coma.Chelsea let out a quiet sigh of relief. She turned around and was about to speak to me.Slap.I had already walked toward Adam and struck him across the face.The sharp sound echoed in the quiet ward.A red mark spread across half of Adam’s face.“Jensen, what are you doing?” Chelsea pulled Adam behind her and glared at me.Adam covered his cheek and gritted his teeth. “Chelsea, I… I did not mean it. Madam Scott kept talking about them, and I did not want her to stay

My mother spent a week recovering in the high‑end private rehabilitation center under the Beckett family name, and all her vital signs finally stabilized.I relaxed at last. Because Noelle had a severe pregnancy reaction, she asked me to accompany her to buy prenatal nutritional supplements.In the afternoon, she suddenly had an urgent online management meeting. I told her not to worry, and I went to the mall by myself.I pushed the shopping cart while looking down at the prenatal milk powder on the shelves.“Jensen? What a coincidence.” A sarcastic voice sounded behind me.I turned around and saw Adam and Chelsea standing a few steps away.Chelsea glanced at the items in my cart and let out a smug, mocking laugh. “Jensen, where is your rich wife? You are a man, yet she makes you buy prenatal products by yourself. You have no status in the Beckett family, do you? You even have to buy these things alone.”I frowned and looked at her calmly. “What does that have to do with you?”

The young nurse burst into tears in panic. “It was not me. I gave her the substitute medication. I have no idea why it turned into metronidazole.”Adam let out a cold snort. His tone sounded firm, yet a hint of smugness slipped through. “If you insist that I changed the medication, then check the surveillance footage and see if I did it.”I watched Adam hide behind Chelsea. The smirk on his lips had not faded. My nails dug into my palm.His words made it clear that he had done the dirty work in the blind spot of the surveillance cameras.Noelle arrived, took my hand, and soothed me in a quiet voice. “It is okay. I am here.”The assistant stepped out from behind Noelle with a middle‑aged female caregiver dressed in simple clothes. The assistant spoke respectfully. “Madam, please show everyone what you showed me earlier.”The woman took out her smartphone and tapped on a video. “I was walking in the corridor and saw this male nurse acting suspiciously at the cart. I thought he was
