Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 

In the middle of the night, as I slept leaning on the hospital bed, I felt like dry fingers were caressing my face. 

“You fool, you believe everything people tell you.” 

“Mmm…” I brushed away that hand and turned in the other direction, then belatedly realized I was 

supposed to be taking care of a patient. I abruptly lifted my head, bewildered. “What did you just say? Is something wrong?” 

I only met Ryan’s tightly closed eyes and his deep, steady breathing. 

Was | hallucinating? 

I didn’t dwell on it much. I just thought I was imagining things, and then dozed off again. 

Early the next morning, Gary specially brought breakfast from a well–known cafe. 

It was exactly to Ryan’s taste. 

But after just a few bites, he was off to attend to official matters. 

Gary didn’t just bring breakfast; he also had a stack of documents that needed attention. Being the CEO of the Frost Group wasn’t all that easy. 

As I ate my breakfast, I occasionally glanced in his direction. 

The warm winter sun streamed in, enveloping the man in a soft glow, highlighting his perfect profile with his glasses perched on his high nose and his lips slightly pursed. 

I had to admit, he was quite pleasing to the eye in terms of appearance. 

If only he weren’t such a scoundrel. 

After finishing breakfast, Albert called to ask when it would be convenient for me to go identification. 

I replied immediately, “How about now, at the Lake Garden?”

Although I had showered last night in the hospital, I hadn’t changed my clothes, which was quite uncomfortable. 

I planned to go back, take another shower, and change clothes. 

After hanging up the phone, Ryan glanced over. “Leaving again?” 

“I’ll be back.” I smiled lightly. “I’ll bring you a surprise when I return.” 

This way, no matter how much trouble Jessica caused afterwards, I wouldn’t have to worry anymore. 

Whether she left the day after tomorrow or not meant no difference to me anymore. 

Once she was gone, everything between Ryan and me could finally be cleanly cut off. 

He cocked his brows. “What surprise?”

“You’ll find out when I get back.” 

With that said, I quickly left the ward. 

He had just changed his dressing in the morning, and with Gary still in the room, there was nothing to worry about. 

As I waited for a ride by the roadside, a black Bentley slowly pulled up in front of me. 

After yesterday’s experience, I almost instinctively wanted to run! 

“Ms. Wal 

“Ms. Wilson.” 

The window rolled down, revealing a mature woman dressed smartly, with slightly darker lipstick, exuding an air of calm maturity. 

She looked to be around 30. 

I hesitated. “Who are you? How do you my name?” 

“I’m Jennifer Renolds, Jack’s sister.” She smiled faintly. “There’s something I need to discuss privately with you, Ms. Wilson.” 

Her features vaguely resembled Jack’s.
