Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56 

In a daze, I thought of the past

+15 BONUS 

Back then, Ryan and I had only been married for six months. My period was delayed by about 10 days. Even though he always used protection, I still faintly wondered if I might be pregnant each time. When I bought the pregnancy test kit, I was eager to share the news of being pregnant with him

Now that I really was pregnant, thinking about Ryan standing just a door away, I couldn’t muster any excitement or joy. All I felt was fear and nervousness about what unexpected changes might come

The worst outcome would be losing this child

The mere two and a half years had turned everything upside down as if we were from different worlds 

now

My legs felt like lead as I walked to the door, my emotions complex, but I found no sign of Ryan outside! Where was he

All that remained was my handbag, left alone on the metal bench by the door

Had he left

I pulled out my phone from the bag, a message was on the screen

I have some urgent business. After the medical report is ready, Gary will deliver it home. I’ll be back later, wait for me.” 

I sighed and walked outside the hospital. Suddenly, my mind changed

I already had the ultrasound report in my hand

It would be easy to make some adjustments now

I dialed Jane’s number. She answered almost instantly. I was just about to call you. Where are you? Why didn’t you come to work? What happened last night? Why did your phone suddenly turn off? Did you and Ryan have sex?” 

She fired questions in rapid succession

The last question made me blush with embarrassment

What was she on about

I chose to answer the first one. I’m at the St. Heart Hospital.” 

For a prenatal checkup? Why didn’t you tell me? I could have gone with you.Jane always managed to get straight to the point. Wait. Isn’t one of the Frost Group’s hospitals? Why did you go there?” 

I briefly explained the situation to her. However, when came out of the ultrasound room, Ryan had already left.” 

Damn, you almost scared me.” 

Jane summed it up. So Ryan still doesn’t know that you’re pregnant, right?” 

Yeah.” 

1/2 

+15 BONUS 

That’s good then.” 

I hailed a taxi on the side of the road and sat in the back seat. Jane, I feel lost.” 

I had originally planned to tamper with the report during this time

But when I lowered my head and saw the tiny child on the report, my heart softened

The doctor’s words also echoed in my mind

Could he change his mind because of the pregnancy
