Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte)

Chapter 176

I had to admit, power was really something.

With just a few words from him, I suddenly knew clearly that I couldn't escape. As long as he gave the order, bodyguards would form a human wall in front of me, making it impossible for me to move.

I pursed my lips and decided to turn around, walking past him with a cold face and heading straight back to the room. I locked the door behind me without hesitation.

Fine, he could just keep me locked up here. I had nothing to do anyway. The Frost family's residence had no shortage of food or drink, and there were people to serve me. At most, I would wait out the cooling- off period for the divorce, and then I would be free.

Our room still maintained its original state. The servants knew that Ryan didn't like anyone touching his things, so when they cleaned, they only did basic dusting and floor mopping without moving anything. My slippers, skincare products, bedside reading materials, hair ties, and various personal items were all still in their original places.

But on the bed, there were traces of someone sleeping there. It was Ryan.

I was somewhat surprised that he still lived in this room and hadn't erased the traces of my life here.

Knock! Knock!

I had just come out after showering when someone knocked on the door. I didn't move and decided to ignore it.

Shortly after, I heard Albert's voice outside the door. "Mrs. Frost."

Only then did I get up to open the door. "What is it?"

Perhaps because Albert's sudden betrayal had caught me off guard, I wasn't very nice to him.

Albert didn't mind, but spoke with difficulty. "The servants found that all the clothes Mr. Ryan changed out of are covered in blood. I just went to see, and found that his wound is still bleeding. He refused to call a doctor. Could you help persuade him..."

"Let Jessica persuade him." I forced myself to sound tougher. "Or let Lauren do it. He prefers to listen to

her."

"Ryan... does have feelings for you. Mr. William and I have long noticed it." Albert earnestly advised, "But you two are both blinded by your own actions."

His words left a sour taste in my heart. Did Ryan really have feelings for me?

It seemed unrealistic, like something out of a fantasy novel.

Looking at Albert, who had aged a lot since Grandpa left, I finally softened a little. "Alright, I'll go persuade him. Don't worry, go to bed early."

Albert had spent his whole life by Grandpa's side, without wife or children, only for the sake of the Frost family's affairs. Now that Grandpa was gone, Ryan was handling everything alone, with only Albert to rely

1. on.

Ryan was in the next room. I knocked on the door and heard a faint, steady voice say, "Come in."

Suppressing my emotions, I pushed the door open and saw no one at first glance. I took a few steps inside before spotting him at the desk, working on business matters. His hair was still damp, his profile smooth and delicate, his expression focused.

He wore a white bathrobe, slightly bent over the desk with the robe taut against his back, already soaked in blood. Flipping through documents, he didn't lift his head. "Albert, I told you, you don't need to worry. Go and get some sleep." "Albert has gone to bed."

I approached with the intention of sharing his burdens, speaking softly. "He said you're bleeding, and I'll call the doctor."

The Frost family had a dedicated team of family doctors available 24/7.

Only then did Ryan look up, obsidian-like eyes locking onto me, his emotions unreadable. "No need. Despicable people don't need a doctor."

He was always seeking revenge.

I didn't feel like arguing with him. "That's fine by me.

If he didn't want me to call the doctor, I had no position to insist. He never listened to my nonsense

anyway.

After saying that, I turned around to leave.

"Change my bandages." His voice came from behind me.

I pursed my lips. "I'm not a doctor. I don't know how to change bandages, and I don't have any medicine either.'
