Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 543

Chapter 543 

+25 RONUS 

“Stop being so bitter. According to my friends in the circle, this time several forces have joined together to pressure the platform and reduce the hype. I heard even her ex–husband got involved. Maybe her own family background isn’t simple, at the very least, she’s a well–bred young lady.” 

“Stop talking. Even being related to Frank is already quite lucky. How impressive could her ex–husband and family background be?” 

“If her family or ex–husband were impressive, I’d eat shit whilst being upside down.” 

I glanced at the online gossip but felt almost no emotional impact. Since my experience with public opinion involving Jessica, I’ve stopped taking such matters seriously. 

Jane noticed I wasn’t upset and felt relieved. “I wasn’t sure whether I should tell you, but seeing you not take it seriously makes me feel better. 

“Don’t worry.” I smiled a little. “My mindset is strong right now.” 

Rumors and gossip were beyond my control, and getting angry about them was unnecessary. 

Just as I finished speaking, Frank walked in. Seeing me smile, he raised an eyebrow. “Looks like it takes your best friend to get things done.” 

Jane cocked her brows and flaunted, “Of course, the power of best friends is immense. It’s incomparable to a boyfriend.” 

Frank emphasized seriously. “It’s fiance.” 

Jane replied, “You only become a fiance after proposing.” 

I watched their banter with a wry smile, pulling Frank down to sit and have breakfast. I asked, “Your father, collapsed? How is he?” 

He concentrated on drinking his oat porridge without looking up. “He’ll live.” 

“That’s good.” 

Knowing that Frank and Luke were in a strained relationship, I felt reassured once I knew it wasn’t a major Issue. 

Jane stared at him, then at me, with a dumbfounded look. “So blunt? Maybe you should at least pretend to visit the ward to avoid being used as material by those with ulterior motives.” 

Frank picked up a shrimp dumpling and placed it in his bowl, looking unconcerned. “Don’t mention making material, even writing a paper on it is none of my business.” 

Jane was momentarily speechless. Before she could respond, Frank glanced at her and asked, “How are things progressing with Zachary?” 

Jane was once again caught off guard. “Don’t bring up things that shouldn’t be mentioned. I’ve noticed you’re quite nosy for a grown man.” 

“This isn’t gossip.” Frank placed his hand on my shoulder. “It’s because Zachary and I made a bet.” 

“A bet about what?”

Chapter 543 

“Who will get married first.” 

Jane and I exchanged glances, reading the word “Immature” from each other’s eyes. Men’s competitive spirit is truly everywhere. 

For several days, I stayed at the hospital without leaving. Whenever my mom had free time, she would come to the hospital to keep me company 

In the meantime, Dr. Travis, accompanied by my uncle, had come several times to give Grandma acupuncture, which helped stabilize her condition and delay the onset of the poison. 

That day, after the acupuncture session, I sent my uncle and Dr. Travis off and planned to go to the branch office with Jane.
