Ex-husband’s Regret

Roy certainly didn't dare to hide anything. He hadn't said everything before because he wanted Zachary to calm down first.

If he had reported truthfully earlier, Zachary might have really killed Nina.

But just as he was about to speak, Rebecca called for the bodyguards to take Nina to the hospital.

Zachary didn't even glance at her and signaled for Roy to continue.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

However, Rebecca spoke up first. "Dr. Travis said the child might not be able to survive. You need to come with me to the hospital now. Zachary recalled something and called Prof. Kilburn.

Prof. Kilburn happened to have just finished a special consultation with a patient that day.

After receiving Zachary's call, he took a moment to respond before arranging for relevant specialists to come.

"If he directly intervenes in the abortion procedure, it could be done to leave some tissue for paternity testing."

Upon hearing that testing was possible, Zachary asked, "Why didn't you mention this before?"

Prof. Kilburn replied, "Mr. Collins, you didn't ask."

He indeed hadn't asked.

Since learning about Nina's pregnancy, he had only inquired about when paternity testing could be done, forgetting this detail. "I'll be at the hospital immediately."

Frank was about to cuddle with his wife to sleep when he heard about the situation and still came to the hospital.

He found Zachary and asked, "Has Prof. Kilburn arranged for the surgery yet?"

Zachary nodded.

Frank then asked, "Are you sure it was your impulse, not Nina forcing you to act?"

Zachary hadn't even thought about that, right now, he just wanted to prove that the child in Nina's womb wasn't his.

Then he would deal with Nina completely and go find Jane to plead for forgiveness.

"You really didn't know Jane went to Larecton?" asked Zachary.

Frank replied casually, "Nope."

Zachary didn't believe him but didn't press further.

He had known Frank for so many years and understood his nature well.

Aside from Charlotte, Frank rarely took anything seriously.

"Are you nervous?"

Although Zachary usually spoke little, he would say a few more words when discussing

matters with him.

Today was clearly different, and Frank asked, "Are you afraid of the test showing it's your child?"

Zachary hadn't planned to say anything, but Frank kept steering the conversation that way.

"I'm worried about Jane. It's fine if she goes out to relax, but I'm afraid she might be taken by people who are up to no good."

Frank laughed, but still said, "It's been over 24 hours. If it's your enemies who took her, they'd want something from you. Not hearing anything is the best news." Zachary fell silent.

Frank found it both funny and frustrating.

"Since you've broken up, whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with you."

Zachary stood there with one hand in his pocket, looking toward the operating room.

Frank leaned against the wall, arms crossed, watching him.

After a moment, he spoke up, "Just a friendly reminder, give Jane some time. She's not someone who responds to pressure."

Zachary's lips moved slightly. "She contacted your wife before going to Larecton, right?" Frank didn't answer directly. "You shouldn't be the type to cling desperately, Zachary." Eric and Rebecca sat on a nearby metal bench.

They didn't avoid the conversation, but what they were still puzzled by what they heard.

The only thing they understood was Frank's advice.

They hoped Zachary would settle down and not exhaust himself searching for Jane.

It would be best if Jane never returned to Jeswood.

"Zachary." Eric spoke up. "Have you considered that if you go to great lengths to find her, you might actually put her in danger?"
