I reached out in the darkness to turn on the light, glancing towards the direction of the door. It was closed shut.
It wasnât Jane,
Jane had stayed with me at the hospital tonight, afraid that it might affect my sleep and delay my recovery. She insisted on sleeping on the sofa in the living room, but also worried that if I felt uncomfortable and called out for her, she wouldnât hear me, so the door remained half open.
Now, obviously, someone had come in.
Was it him�
I didnât know.
But it didnât matter anymore.
The next day, after a good nightâs sleep, I felt much better.
The nurse brought a breakfast for two, along with fruits and birdâs nest, a lavish spread.
Jane clicked her tongue. âYour hospital is quite generous.â
The nurse smiled, âTo help patients recover faster. However, the nutritional plan for Mrs. Frost was personally tailored by the hospital director.â
After saying this, she checked my temperature and other vitals, âMrs. Frost, you still have a slight fever. Please have your breakfast first, Iâll go call Prof. Foust over.â
After she left, Jane gave me a puzzled look. âAre you really heading for a divorce?â
âWhat do you think?â I replied.
âCan we still eat this breakfast then?â She gestured towards the sumptuous meal, looking tempted.
I chuckled helplessly. âDivorce doesnât mean wasting food. Go ahead and eat!â
I was already accustomed to Ryanâs way of doing things. Always alternating between
discipline and sweet rewards. But now, I wasnât falling for it anymore.
Just as I finished my breakfast, Albert arrived with a few servants, carrying various

nutritional supplements, quickly filling up half the living room.
Albertâs weathered face showed a hint of regret as he comforted me. âMrs. Frost, about the child⦠I heard about it. Donât be too sad. Both you and Ryan are still young. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future to have children. Please have these nutritional supplements first. There are plenty more in the old mansion. After youâre discharged, you can focus on recovering.â
âAlbert.â He had always been by Grandpaâs side, so I respected him. âRyan and I will definitely divorce this time, and there wonât be any more children in the future. Please take these things back.â
Albert didnât try to persuade further, waving his hand, âThese are from Mr. William for you, not from Ryan. Please rest assured. Before Mr. William passed away, he often said that the Frost family owed you. These⦠you must accept them, or Mr. William wonât be able to rest in peace.â
âAlright.â
After hesitating for a moment, I accepted them. Thinking of Grandfather made tears well up in my eyes. I wiped my eyes and said, âThe two jade pendants that Grandfather gave to the child, Iâve kept them in the safe in my room and never brought them out. When you have time, please take them out and return them to Ryan.â
The passwords for each safe in the old mansion were initially set by Albert. Later, when I married into the family, Albert reminded me to change them. But our time living in the old mansion was too short, so I never got around to it. Now, it seemed like a moot point.
Seeing my firm attitude, Albert reluctantly agreed. Then, hesitating as if wanting to say something, he spoke, âUm⦠thereâs something Iâve been keeping an eye on, the medicine that Mr. William asked you to look into. Thereâs been some progress. However, it seems as complicated as you suspected. Now that youâre divorcing Ryan, Iâm afraid it might drag you into things againâ¦â
âIs there any progress?â
