Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157 

“Yes.” Gary breathed a sigh of relief. 

Upon arriving at the hospital, Ryan was promptly placed on a mobile hospital bed. 

The hospital room was brightly lit. It was only then that I noticed Ryan’s face, unnaturally pale due to excessive blood loss. 

In the car… he had been putting on a brave front the whole time to keep me from worrying. 

As the doors of the emergency room closed, my heart was seized by a fierce fear. 

Even breathing became difficult. 

I leaned against the wall, unable to describe the turmoil in my heart. 

All I knew was that when the doors of the emergency room opened and the doctor came out saying the bullet had been removed, and as long as he rested well for a period of time, the problem would not be serious, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. 

I entered the hospital room, and his dark eyes stared at me intensely. 

As if he was trying to see through me. 

I pursed my lips and poured him a glass of water. “Gary has gone back to pack your daily necessities and clothes. When he comes back, I’ll leave.” 

He smirked, pulling down the comer of his mouth. “Leave?” 

“Yeah.” 

I nodded. “Thank you today.” 

If he hadn’t come, I might not have been able to leave that place unscathed. 

Ryan chuckled, half–smiling. “Charlotte, I find you quite heartless.”

He cocked his brows. “Who did I get injured because of?”

I didn’t know what to say, so I lowered my head. “Me.” 

“Then you’re just going to leave me alone here and walk away?” He sounded a little pitiful, 

I took a deep breath. “Ryan, I appreciate what you did, but…” 

We’re both adults now, I didn’t make my words too clear and continued, “Besides, I didn’t leave you alone. Gary will take care of you.” 

“Gary’s a guy. What does he know about taking care of a patient?‘ Ignoring the first half of my sentence, Ryan spoke disdainfully. 

At that moment, Gary walked in with a suitcase. He froze, his eyes darting between me and Ryan. “Yes, Mr. Frost is right. I’m clumsy and I’m not good at taking care of patients.”

I hadn’t expected him to betray me so straightforwardly 

But then again, I could understand. After all, Ryan was his boss. 

I pinched my palm. “Then why don’t you give it a try first?” 

Ryan gave Gary a look. “I’m thirsty.” 

“Yes.”

Gary quickly picked up the glass of the bedside and handed it over.
