Ex-husband’s Regret

Frank cocked his brows. "Indeed, you've made quite a few enemies. Not looking for her this time is the best protection for her." Zachary recalled the incident when Jane nearly drowned.

If he truly used his connections to find Jane, it would only push her into danger-that was an undeniable fact.

With the news of his wedding to Nina circulating, many were already investigating its authenticity.

Now that he had canceled the wedding, if he then made a big show of searching for Jane, all attention would shift to her.

After thinking it over, he said succinctly, "Mom, the wedding will proceed as planned."

Rebecca was taken aback.

Eric was also confused. "Why the sudden decision to hold the wedding again?"

Zachary's urgency to have Prof. Kilburn perform the surgery and conduct paternity tests clearly indicated he wanted to sever ties with Nina quickly.

They had been pleased that Zachary had broken up with Jane and that they could swiftly resolve the Nina situation, moving on to find him a suitable marriage partner. Now he wanted to go through with the wedding to Nina again?

Frank was the only one who understood Zachary's reasoning.

It was Eric's earlier words that had given him insight.

Fearing that Jane might be harmed by his enemies, Zachary was using Nina as a shield.

This would also serve to divert attention and allow Nina to face the consequences of her own actions.

It would save him from getting his hands dirty while also quelling the Collins family's eagerness to find him a marriage partner.

Killing three birds with one stone.

Frank smirked. "Having a wedding is great! I love a good event. On your wedding day, I'll give you a big gift."

The two exchanged knowing glances.

Eric wanted to ask more questions, but just then, the operating room door opened and the doctor came out.

Eric wanted to ask more questions, but just then, the operating room door opened and the

doctor came out.

Rebecca was the first to step forward.

Zachary stood still, while Frank leaned against the wall.

Eric also took a step toward the doctor.

"How did it go?"

The doctor spoke to Rebecca and Eric, but his gaze rested on Zachary's face.

"The surgery is complete, and there were no issues. The samples have been collected, and I'm about to start the paternity test. However, as a doctor, I need to mention something."

Eric replied, "Please go ahead."

Prof. Kilburn continued, "Her uterine wall is thin and her congenital conditions aren't great. This miscarriage has also caused harm to her, so the chances of her having children in the future are very low. Even with later care, it will be difficult for her to conceive." Dr. Travis had already informed them of this.

Rebecca was somewhat prepared for the news.

Moreover, since Zachary was still planning to hold the wedding, what could Nina really demand from him using this situation as leverage? It was just a matter of marrying him.

"Thank you, Prof. Kilburn, for your efforts."

"It's my duty."

After Prof. Kilburn left, Rebecca turned to Zachary. "Are you really going to have a wedding with Nina?"

Zachary nodded.

Rebecca's expression darkened. "You aren't actually considering getting a marriage certificate with her, are you?" ""We'll see."

Zachary raised his hand, and Roy stepped forward.

He instructed, "Take my parents home."

Rebecca wanted to say something more, but Zachary didn't give her the chance.

"Mom, Dad, it's late. You should go home and rest."

Rebecca fell silent and left with Eric.

They needed to discuss the wedding further.

It wasn't that they couldn't stop it.

But if it escalated, it would embarrass the Collins family.

If Zachary disagreed with marrying Nina, they could come up with excuses.

But now that Zachary had agreed to hold the wedding, it became much more complicated.

"Do you understand why our son is doing this?"

Eric hadn't understood before, but now he was starting to see the pattern.

"He's likely trying to protect Jane."

Rebecca was puzzled. "Does that mean he hasn't really broken up with her?"

Eric nodded. "It's likely not a genuine breakup, perhaps it's a planned act."
