The Billionaire Ex-Wife and the Beggar He Became novel Chapter 320

320 /380

As he spoke, tears streamed down his withered cheeks. He was too weak to say much more. All the words he wanted to say were condensed into those two simple words: "I'm sorry."

Winona didn't turn back. "I'm sorry, Mr. Frank, but I don't accept."

She walked out of the intensive care unit without a second glance.

Frank's eyes followed her until she was out of sight, his expression a complex mix of emotions. Seeing his apologetic look, Felicity felt a strange unease.

Xander had already clearly sided with Winona.

Julian, though divorced from Winona, had become distant from her and seemed to feel more guilt towards his ex-wife.

And now, even Mr. Frank was apologizing to Winona.

The usually confident and radiant Felicity felt as if she were under siege from all sides.

She gripped Frank's hand, her expression sincere and humble. "Uncle, I know it was wrong of me to lie to you about being married to Julian, but we've been in love for so many years. Julian doesn't love Winona; they never even had a wedding. In his heart, I'm his true wife. We love each other very much."

Frank sputtered, "You… you…"

"I only told you we were married because I didn't want you to worry about me. I know I've wronged Winona, and I will admit my mistake to her. But first, you need to focus on getting better. When you're well, when your heart is strong again, I promise I will apologize to Winona in front of you. Okay?"

"And I have some good news for you…"

She leaned in and whispered in Frank's ear, her words meant for him alone.

A flicker of light returned to Frank's eyes. "Really…?"

Felicity nodded. "Really. But I haven't told Julian yet. Uncle, please, just cooperate with the doctors for now, alright? When you're better, Julian and I will apologize to Winona together. Okay?"
