Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte)
Regret H 785

Chapter 785

The two of them couldn't come to any conclusion about the matter.

Charlotte helped Jane lie down. "Your head still hurts, so don't think about it for now. It seems like a deadlock, and stressing over it won't help. At the very least, you should take care of yourself in a situation like this."

Jane lay on the hospital bed, stretching her limbs and sighing. "This isn't something I can just bear on my own. It's strange, isn't it? I know my background will cause Zachary trouble, yet I still ended up truly falling for him." Suddenly, the door to the room swung open. Charlotte turned to see Frank and nodded to Jane before getting up to leave the room.

She closed the door behind her and looked up at Frank. "How did it go on your side?"

Frank replied, "Nothing yet. I suggested they put this on hold and deal with Nina first.

"Did they agree? Not exactly, but they didn't oppose it either. I just dropped Zachary off at the car, and they'll be home soon."

Charlotte nodded. "That's good to hear."

This meant that none of the Collins family had fallen ill.

Things would get complicated if Zachary's parents had fallen ill.

"Can Zachary stay with Jane in the hospital?"

Frank shook his head. "He has to go home to keep an eye on Nina."

Charlotte felt uneasy. "If he's around Nina, what if she uses him to harm the baby and tarnish his reputation? Wouldn't it be safer for him to stay in the hospital?"

Frank's eyes flickered coldly. "I don't think she will harm this baby. With all that's happened recently, Zachary is caught in the middle. There's something I haven't told him." ""What is it?"

Frank beckoned her closer, and he whispered something in her ear.

Charlotte was shocked. "Can that really work? Is there any scientific basis for it?"

"It's just my guess."

"A guess? Are there successful cases like this? Have you asked Prof. Kilburn?"

Frank held a finger to his lips, hushing her. "Honey, if you keep shouting like that, the whole world will know."

Charlotte had never heard anything like this and struggled to calm herself. But she managed to lower her voice. "If what you're suggesting is possible, and they replace out it's Zachary's child, will the Collins family let Nina marry him?" "Absolutely not." Frank shook his head. "If that were the case, they might as well let Zachary and Jane try to have a baby together."

"That makes sense..."

"The Collins family clearly has a plan for an alliance. With someone like Nina, who has her own schemes, my godmother might have wanted to keep her at first, but once the baby is born, she'll likely leave everything for Zachary to handle. Keeping her around would be like leaving a ticking time bomb that could affect Zachary's future alliances."

Charlotte rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

Frank gently tapped her forehead twice. "Stop thinking about it. We'll know the outcome in a month."

A month felt too long. So much could happen in a day, let alone a month.

"Is there any other way?" asked Charlotte. "What about the hotel surveillance footage from that night? Is it really unrecoverable?"

Frank glanced back into the room, then sat down beside Charlotte, wrapping an arm around her. "It's uncertain. Even if it can be recovered, it'll take time. I tried probing Nina this morning, but she didn't give anything away. Right now, she hasn't made any moves, which means she probably figured out what I was implying."

"So we just have to wait," said Charlotte, leaning on Frank's shoulder. "What a mess. Jane finally replaces someone who truly cares about her..."
