Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

Chapter 183

I lay back on the bed to read, but after who knows how long, I realized the book was upside down. I started feeling restless. I wondered what was wrong with him. If it was because of that gunshot... It should have been me.

I closed the book in a fluster and headed to the balcony for some fresh air. At that moment, someone knocked on the door, accompanied by Albert's voice. "Mrs. Frost."

My feet quickened involuntarily as I opened the door. "Albert, how is Ryan?"

"He has a fever."

I breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking it was just a cold or something similar. But then Albert continued, "It's from the infection caused by the gunshot a few days ago. He won't let anyone touch him now, nor will he take any medicine. You're divorcing, and I shouldn't have come to you. But he was calling out your name in his sleep..."

I squeezed my hands. "I'll go see him."

It was right and proper for me to do so, emotionally and logically.

I nodded. "Okay."
