Lost Me Gained Regret



Elmwood Villas was just a short drive from the hospital.

Gregory didn't want to sleep, yet at my insistence, he closed his eyes for a quick nap.

That brief moment of rest was enough to show how tired he was.

I didn't want to wake him, feeling secure with the bodyguard by our side.

Yet, as soon as the car gently stopped, Gregory woke up, instinctively tightening his grip on my hand, protecting me as we got out.

He had made arrangements with the hospital director in advance, so our visit was swift.

While waiting for the results, Gregory, fearing I would overthink, started talking about the Myers family saga, "Pearl knew I wouldn't let them off easily. That night, after returning, she poisoned Victor, manipulating him into signing over his assets."

Hearing this, my emotions were flat. Victor had it coming. I only asked, "Does he know about Pearl and Josiah's affair?"

"And that Dorothy is Pearl and Josiah's daughter?"Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Gregory shook his head, "It was all a charade. Josiah kidnapped Pearl and Dorothy, forcing Victor to sign. He thought the poison was Josiah's doing, not Pearl's."

I smirked, "He truly loved Pearl, didn't he?"

Gregory played with my hand, "Let's not dwell on it anymore."

"Jane!"

Christine Jackson came running over, excited, "Ramona! Ramona wants to see you!"

I was momentarily confused, "What did you say?"

"Ramona wants to see you!"

Realizing what she meant, I was overjoyed, quickly following Gregory to Ramona's room, "She recognizes me?" Christine was beaming, "Yes, I was just checking on her, and she asked for you by name. I had to come find you right away."

My heart, which was in limbo, finally found peace. I was so moved, I almost cried.

Gregory, as if expecting this, gently wiped away a tear, "You crying like this will make me worry."

Christine rolled her eyes at our display of affection, but obediently, I composed myself, nodding, "Okay!"

I couldn't let him worry about me anymore.

"Why the tears?"

Upon entering the room, Ramona saw the tear streaks on my face and asked, "Are you feeling unwell because of the pregnancy?"

I wanted to speak, but feared that opening my mouth would unleash a flood of emotions and tears.

To avoid worrying Ramona, I just shook my head.

Christine looked anxious, "Ramona

I've heard pregnancy can make emotions unstable. It's normal for Jane to be worried, especially with

You

Ramona remembered the kidnapping, and there was no hiding it from her.

She caressed my head, her gaze filled with love, "It's my fault, making Lily worry."

I shook my head vigorously.

I wiped away my tears, took a deep breath, and finally managed to speak, "I won't cry anymore. You're okay, Ramona, I should be happy." "Good girl."

Ramona squeezed my hand, "I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore."

"Then I'll take you home."

"Okay."

While I helped Ramona change, Gregory went to consult Dr. Andrews about her condition.
