GoodNovelChapter 1037:
The noise halted abruptly at the door, and in the ensuing silence, the tension and unease were palpable to all
three. After a moment, Dorian finally opened the door. It seemed he had taken a long tto mentally prepare
himself. He entered with a forced smile, but his gaze quickly fell on Regina, who sat calmly in a chair.
Dorian hadn't anticipated seeing Regina there. The sight of her, still as radiant and unchanged as ever, struck
him profoundly, nearly overwhelming him. He stood frozen, his face losing all expression, his eyes conveying a
mix of conflict and pain as he looked at Regina.
Gathering his strength, Dorian managed to say, “Regina, you're back.”
Regina looked at her ex, now looking rough and worn out, and felt a jumble of emotions she couldn't put into
words. She didn’t say anything, acting as if she and Dorian had never known each other.
Dorian’s gaze shifted from Regina to Alicia. It had been over six months since he last saw her. Alicia looked a

the pain from that car accident finally gone away? He couldn't bring himself to ask. Now, he just stood
awkwardly at the door, completely out of place in the happy family scene in front of him. He felt like an outsider
and didn’t deserve to be part of their world. After thirty years together, Regina knew exactly what was going
through Dorian’s head.
Without waiting, Regina stood up and walked over to Dorian. “Let's talk. Just the two of us,” she said calmly.
Dorian glanced at his ex-wife, a bitter smile tugging at his lips. She was still as thoughtful as ever, quick to notice
his embarrassment and step in to save him from the situation.
Regina didn’t waste tand got straight to the point, explaining the heart chip issue.
Dorian looked stunned, caught off guard.
Seeing the hesitation on his face, Regina raised an eyebrow and scoffed. “What's the matter? You can’t handle
this one little thing? You had the guts to ask Caden for a prosthetic for Yolanda, but you can't lift a finger for your
own daughter?”
Dorian quickly said, “No, | am willing to help. Not just this one thing, but even ten things | would be willing to do.
It is the least | can do.”
Regina’s tone stayed cold. “There’s no need for ten things. This is the first and last tAlicia has asked
anything of you. Dorian, if it weren't for your access to tech resources, you wouldn't even have the right to see
her.”
Her words hit Dorian like a punch to the chest. His fingers trembled, and he slumped, shoulders drooping. His
face, already worn and pale, looked even more defeated. “You're right,” he mumbled. “I've made too many
mistakes. | don’t deserve her forgiveness.”
Regina pressed her lips into a tight line, avoiding his eyes. She didn’t want to keep Alicia and the others waiting,
so she stood and left without another word.
