Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 348
He extended the box towards me, speaking softly, “Take a look.”

When I finally made out the bold letters on the box, I wished the ground would swallow me whole. Hastily getting up, I said, “Just
leave the medication with me. I’ll take a shower and apply it myself.”
If it hadn’t been for him, I would have forgotten about my fall.
“Sure.”
A playful smile touched his lips, his tone teasing, “I’ve already asked the concierge to send up Christine, in case you need help
reaching those tricky spots.”
From the get–go, he had considered the privacy of my injury.
It was just my imagination.
The longer I thought about it, the more embarrassed I felt, until I just got mad. I pushed him out of the room and tried to slam the
door shut.
But he stopped the door with one hand and, much like the night before, suddenly pinched my face, his voice seductive, “Jane,
Merry Christmas.”
As he spoke, the sound of fireworks burst outside.
The brilliant fireworks lit up the entire room through the floor–to–ceiling windows, making him seem all the more unrestrained.
“Don’t run away this time,” he added.

Bryant often made empty promises, but he followed through quickly when it came to his stern warning for Gregory.
Before the year was out, the Ferguson Group boldly snatched several projects from the Ford family.

Not to be outdone, the Ford family launched an electronic device featuring technology that the Ferguson Group was planning to
unveil in the first quarter.
After a lot of promotion, they ended up making a wedding dress for someone else, suffering a significant loss.
Christine happened to schedule a meeting with some clients from Vista Town after the New Year to discuss partnerships.
So, we decided to extend our stay and treat it like a vacation.
One day, Christine was browsing the news online, puzzled, “Do you think Gregory would really keep up this rivalry with Bryant
over you?”
“I don’t know.” I shrugged.
Since that night, I’ve had very little contact with Gregory. We hadn’t even called each other; at most, he would occasionally send
a text, asking what I was up to.
I couldn’t be sure if he was doing all this for me.
My past experiences had left me with no confidence in matters of the heart.
I no longer believed that a man would go to such lengths for me.
It was just the usual business rivalry.
As Christine scrolled through her phone, she suddenly sat up straight, “Did you hear about it?”
“About what?” I asked, puzzled.
“The DNA results for the Myers family came out.”
She handed me her phone, a bit concerned for me. “It’s confirmed. She’s the Myers family’s long–lost daughter.”
“That’s good.”
At least, Ramona could finally find some peace. Her longing to find Lilliana was palpable, even to an outsider like
“What about you and Gregory? Do you really believe he’ll call off his engagement?”

“Whether I believe it or not doesn’t matter.”

I let out a light chuckle, stood up to stretch by the window, and continued, “What he does is what matters. I’m not some love–
struck girl. he can keep on a string.”
Christine persisted, “Don’t you like him, even a little?”

conected her, Lets just call it a fondness.
Later that day, I suddenly received a call from Ramona,
Even over the phone, I could feel Ramona’s joy. “Jane, you’re a blessing to the Myers family! We’ve been searching for so many
years without any luck, and then you show up, and we find her.”
I smiled, saying, “I haven’t had the chance to congratulate you yet. You finally found Lilliana.”
“Oh, dear, all thanks to you!”
Ramona rambled on, “It’s just that the poor girl seems to have gone through so much outside, always so timid. I... I want to show
her cáre without frightening her.”
