HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 410

Chapter 410 

“I’m fine,” Eli replied quickly. “The doctor said I can go home this afternoon. I just wanted to make sure you’re alright too, Grandma.” 

Riana smiled gently, her tone softening immediately. “Thank you for calling to check on me. I’m fine. You were very brave today.” 

“Oh… it was just reflex,” Eli said quietly. “I was scared something might happen to you.” 

Althea glanced at Riana, catching the change in her expression. There was no pretense there-only sincerity. 

“Have you eaten yet?” Riana asked. 

“Not yet,” Eli answered honestly. “Mom is still taking care of the paperwork. After that, we’re going back to the apartment.” 

“Today was supposed to be a simple visit to the cemetery-without any incident,” Riana said with a long sigh. Never mind. Don’t dwell on it too much. It’s better to focus on your schoolwork.” She paused. “You’ll be able to go to school tomorrow, won’t you?” 

“Yes,” Eli replied, sounding more cheerful. “I don’t want to fall behind.” 

Riana smiled. “Good.” 

“Um… Grandma?” 

Riana frowned slightly. “Is there something you want to say? Go on.” 

“If you have time someday… maybe we could meet?” Eli asked softly. “I’d like to talk to you properly-just the two of us, if you don’t mind.” 

Riana looked at Althea in surprise. “Meet me? Just the two of us?” 

“Yes. Just the two of us. I’d be dropped off somewhere you like, and after that… I want to talk. I feel…” Eli hesitated. “I feel jealous. You can be close with other people, but I can’t.” 

Riana fell silent. 

“Is… is that possible?” 

For a long moment, Riana didn’t answer. Then finally, “Alright. I’ll arrange a time for us to meet.” 

On the other end of the line, Eli went quiet. A small breath followed. “Thank you, Grandma, for understanding. I’ll wait for whenever you’re free for me.” 

And the call ended.
