Ex-husband’s Regret

Ryan, who had been playing with his phone with his head down, suddenly looked up. Unable to hide, I could only force myself to walk out.

Ryan's expression softened slightly, and he said in a gentle voice, "Why are you at the hospital?”

Completely different from his cold tone when confronting Jessica just now. If it were before, I might have sensed a hint of favoritism in his coldness.

Now, all I felt was mockery.

Before I could say anything, Jessica glanced at the doctor's introduction on the office door display screen and smirked. "Why are you seeing this kind of specialist? Could it be you've contracted HPV or something? This kind of infection only happens if you have a messy private life."

She deliberately raised her voice and it drew many disdainful glances towards me.

Instead, breathed a sigh of relief. Glancing at the display screen, I realized that perhaps due to a shift change, the specialist shown wasn't the doctor I had just registered with.

I also realized that even though I had come for a pregnancy check-up because I hadn't reached three months ve

yet, I could only see a gynecologist, not an obstetrician.

If it were an obstetrician, I wouldn't have been able to explain myself just now. Ryan would probably just use his authority to access my medical history.

I sighed lightly, adjusted my mood, and said calmly, "Yes, women fear their husbands bringing home diseases from unclean women they have affairs with

Jessica gritted her teeth, no longer daring to argue with me about this. "So why are you here then?"

I smiled and said softly, "Didn't you already say? I'm here to check the dirty disease my husband infected me with."

Jessica glared at me. "Charlotte, do you believe..."

"Why do you talk so much?"

Ryan's face darkened with a layer of frost, interrupting Jessica's words coldly.

Jessica was instantly infuriated, her eyes turned red. What do you mean? She's Insulting you, can't you tell? Why are you still defending her?”

"So you know he's my

husband?"

I tried to remain calm and gentle, not letting myself get too angry. "It's not wise to cling to someone else's husband in public. Hey, why did you come to the hospital? I just heard you talking about children back in the office. Do the two of you already have a child?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the eyes of the onlookers shifted from me to Jessica and Ryan.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Most of the people present were women. They all felt disdainful towards Jessica and Ryan after hearing what I said.

"Mistress" and "illegitimate child" were the words that came to mind.

They had become the public enemy.

The women felt that the cheating man was even more despicable.

One lacked morality, and the other not only lacked morality but also responsibility and commitment.

"What are you all looking at?" Jessica justified herself confidently. "He and I grew up together. Many years ago, we almost got married."

Pointing at me, she continued to distort the truth, "It's her, it's this woman's intrusion that forcibly

separated us, causing us to miss out on so many years. Now I'm just taking back what rightfully belongs to me!"

"Jessica."

Ryan's patience wore thin, a hint of irritation showing in his eyes. "Weren't you feeling ill? You sound fine now. Since you're fine, I'll have someone send you home." Jessica was about to cry, clinging to his arm. "It hurts, it hurts so much..."

I had no interest in staying any longer. I looked at Ryan. "When you have time, please give me a call."

Some things, I didn't want to drag on any more.

I didn't want to upset Grandpa, but there were other ways to solve this.

"Jessica, how are you? What did the doctor say?"
