Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte)
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

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 replace you quite heartless."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

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.

Ryan gave him a cold look. "Man, I'm injured. Do I look like I can hold a glass?"

Depending on a man to take care of someone might indeed not work out.

I inserted a straw into the cup and held it to his lips. "Here."

"That's it?" Ryan seemed somewhat disappointed.

Helplessly, I said, "What else can we do? You're way too big for me to carry."

"Ryan...

Suddenly, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Jessica rushed in, looking distraught. "Ryan, I heard you were injured. Where are you hurt? Is it serious?" Ryan gave Gary a questioning look.

Regretfully, Gary slapped himself on the mouth and hurriedly explained, "I-I just went to get your phone...." "Don't blame him. I forced him to tell me!"

Jessica pushed me aside, snatched the water cup from my hand, and affectionately sat beside the bed." Do you want water? Let me feed you."
