WantNovelChapter 813
Frank stood there, frozen in place, his face a mask hiding the turmoil of nerves beneath. His back was slick with
sweat, his palms clammy. He could see his own panicked reflection mirrored in Rebecca White's clear eyes. As
their gazes locked, both were momentarily startled.
Frank swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing visibly. Rebecca's gaze flickered before she quickly looked away.
"Ms. White, please follow my finger with your eyes," the doctor's timely intervention broke the awkwardness of
the moment.
"Keep following my finger... there, very good..." After a brief check-up, the doctor announced, "The surgery was a
success. A nurse will cby shortly to take you for stests. If everything checks out, you can be
discharged." "Thank you, doctor."
"You're welcome. I'll also prescribe smedication for you to take home. Make sure to follow the instructions I'll
note down in your discharge summary." "I will."

After the doctor left, a nurse cto escort Rebecca for her tests, with Sherilyn accompanying her throughout.
Frank, of course, followed quietly behind.
Upon returning to the room after the tests, Rebecca glanced back, noticing Frank hadn't cin.
She looked up at Sherilyn. "Did Mr. Frank leave?"
"No," Sherilyn shook her head. "He's outside. He wanted to review the medications the doctor prescribed and
discuss sdetails about your follow-up appointments."
Sherilyn was just stating facts,
without any embellishment. In her eyes, Frank seemed a bit 'lost', but
she believed that matters of the heart were best left to those
involved. As an observer, she felt it wasn't her place to interfere
"Oh."
Rebecca nodded, deep in thought. "Sherilyn, could you ask Mr. Frank to cin? There are sthings | need to
discuss with him."
"Of course." Sherilyn got up, "Have a good talk. I'll wait outside."
Soon after, Frank entered the room, holding a bag of medications for Rebecca. He placed the bag on the table
and cleared his throat. "These are your medications. The instructions are on each box." "I got it." Rebecca
nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Frank."
Frank's eyes flickered at her use of 'Mr. Frank’, so formal, so distant. He felt a sinking feeling, a bad premonition.
Frowning slightly, he began, "Rebecca, are you still upset withfor hiding my identity?"
Rebecca looked at him steadily, countering his question with her own. "Why did you feel the need to hide your
identity from me, Mr. Frank?"
Frank was at a loss for words.
Initially, he hadn't anticipated their
relationship would evolve to this stage. He was still with Caroline when they first met. He intervened because
she was James's biological mother, unable to stand by as Eddy Jones mistreated her. Thus, he chose to remain
silent around her, to avoid entangling their lives further.
But then, he and Caroline broke up. The thought of being with Rebecca began to take root... He was bound to
marry someday, so why not James's mother? It would give James a complete family. Moreover, Rebecca had
suffered so much because of him over the years. He
hoped to protect her from now on, to
make up for the hardships she
endured...
As Frank pondered these thoughts, he struggled with how to explain. How could he tell Rebecca about their
child? A child conceived from a night he'd 'wronged' her?
