Regret Novel 80

The next morning, Lana arrived as usual to deliver breakfast to Charlotte. As she reached the front of the building, she spotted that familiar Rolls–Royce parked by the entrance.

The chauffeur stepped out to open the rear door, and Evander emerged, fastening the buttons on his suit jacket with practiced ease.

Lana gave him a respectful nod. “Good morning, sir.”

Evander’s gaze drifted to the insulated food container in her hands. His tone was calm, almost indifferent. “Who’s the meal for?”

“Uh… it’s for Mrs. Sterling.” Lana’s expression was awkward–she’d promised not to mention anything.

He fell silent for a moment, a faint crease forming between his brows. “Is something wrong with her?”

Lana snuck a glance at him. How could he not know his own wife was in the hospital? The more she thought about it, the more sorry she felt for Charlotte. These two young newlyweds–who knew what silent standoff they were locked in? One refused to speak, and the other seemed utterly unbothered.

“She’s been admitted to the hospital. I’m just bringing her breakfast.”

“Hospitalized?” Evander’s face darkened a shade. “Since when?”

“Three days ago,” Lana said quickly, noticing his expression. “Mrs. Sterling didn’t want to worry you, so she made me promise not to tell.”
