Ex-husband’s Regret

Frank knew Charlotte wouldn't return home that night, so he didn't go back either.

When dawn broke, he went around to the back of the courtyard, climbed over the wall, and landed gracefully.

He clapped his hands, casually stuffed one into his pocket, and walked leisurely to the entrance of the Collins family.

Zachary opened the door for him.

"Take a shower."

Zachary didn't pay him any mind, he knew where his bedroom was.

Before Frank went upstairs, he ran into the Sir Collins returning from the backyard after practicing boxing and greeted him with a smirk "Good morning, Sir Collins."

Sir Collins knew he couldn't stop Frank and couldn't be bothered to lose his temper.

"Just in time for breakfast."

"I'll take a shower first."

'Well, he's certainly making himself feel at home,' thought Sir Collins.

Sir Collins looked at Zachary, "Even if Frank helps you, I still won't agree...

"Julie, bring me the medicine."

Zachary ignored the rest and took the medicine to Nina's room.

Rebecca happened to be coming down the stairs, and Sir Collins gave her a knowing look.

Rebecca sat at the dining table and glanced upstairs, "Let's not worry about it for now." Zachary summoned a maid and knocked on the door. "Go in and check if she's awake."

The maid knocked on the door. "Miss, I'm here to clean the room."

After a while, Nina's voice came from inside. "Come in."

The maid entered and saw that although Nina was wearing pajamas, they were long-sleeved and long-panted, so she went to reply to Zachary. "Sir, you can go in."

Only then did Zachary walk inside.

Nina smiled at him, "Zachary, why are you so guarded against me? We even have a child together."All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Zachary felt a wave of nausea rising.

That night, he was unconscious and couldn't be sure if Nina had touched him.

The only thing he could be certain of was that even if he were controlled, he wouldn't do anything to her.

"Take the medicine. If you can coine down for breakfast, then do so. Don't keep Grandpa and Grandma waiting. If not, let Julie bring the food to you." "Can't you bring it to me?"

"I can't."

Zachary turned to leave her room but found someone leaning at the door watching the

scene.

"It's only been two minutes. Are you done?"

"Not yet." Frank turned back to his room. "I can shower anytime, a show isn't something you can just watch whenever you want." Zachary followed Frank to his room and asked, "How's Jane?"

Frank saw that Zachary had the idea of following him into the bathroom and blocked him at the door. "Sorry, I have a wife. I can't let you see me naked." Zachary held back his frustration but couldn't help retorting, "Get lost, who wants to see you naked? You make it,sound like you're the only one with a wife."

"We're legally married, what about you?" Frank dragged out the words. "You might not be.

Zachary angrily shut the bathroom door.

He contacted Jane to ask about the situation himself.

Charlotte returned from the hospital cafeteria with breakfast and heard Jane on the phone.

"I'm fine. You focus on your work. Charlotte can take care of me. I'm not dizzy anymore and don't feel nauseous either. If I just get another IV today, I can be discharged." Charlotte shot her a glance but didn't press further.

Jane was also worried about saying too much, so she quickly added, "I'm hungry, I'll eat, gotta go now."

Zachary hadn't even had the chance to respond with a "good" before he heard the mechanical hang-up tone.

He understood now.

Things weren't good, he had to speed things up on his end too.

"Did you ask Prof. Kilburn?"

Zachary pushed open the bathroom door, and Frank was just pulling the glass door open to

leave.

"Tsk." Frank cocked his brows, wrapped a towel around himself, and stayed silent.

Zachary found it ridiculous. "What's the difference between us? What's up with not allowing me to see you have a shower?"

Frank brushed his teeth, remaining silent.

Zachary was truly annoyed by his behavior but had to indulge him.

After all, he still needed his help.

"I beg you, tell me."

Frank finished shaving and washing his face before leisurely speaking, "Get me a set of clothes."

Zachary gritted his teeth and went to get him some clothes.

Frank didn't move even after he had the clothes.

Zachary turned around. "So dramatic."

Frank changed into the clothes and directly stepped out.

Zachary, frustrated, gritted his teeth.

He quickly walked a couple of steps to block him at the door.

""Don't go too far."

Only then did Frank slowly say, "Prof. Kilburn said it'll take at least two and a half months."

"That's still over a month left. Too many things can change.

"That depends on how fast you are."

If they could obtain the surveillance footage from that night, even if it couldn't definitively prove whose child it was, at least they could gather some evidence and not be so passive.

"I want to be quick too."

Zachary pressed his forehead. "She must be on guard, it can't be that easy,

Frank was merciless. "Then you can only blame yourself. Who told you to be so careless

while enjoying your time with Jane?"

Zachary also regretted it, mainly, he had never thought Nina could be that kind of person.

"Didn't you find anything on your end?"

"Like how she teamed up with Michael?"

Frank tilted his chin. "Open the door, I'm hungry, let's eat."

"I sat in the car all night."

Zachary stepped aside, and they walked downstairs together.

At the dining table, the Collins family was already seated.

Frank was unceremonious. He pulled out a chair across from Sir Collins and began eating. Zachary sat down beside him but hadn't touched his cutlery when he heard his mother say, "You should take some food upstairs to Nina, she needs to stay in bed lately." Zachary asked Julie to do make the delivery, but his mother insisted, "You need to go yourself, we can't prove the child isn't yours yet."

Zachary wanted to argue but was kicked by Frank.

So, he stood up, took the tray from Julie, and headed upstairs.

The door to Nina's room was open. The maid had just finished cleaning and was coming

out.

"Sir."

Zachary nodded in response.
