Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 360

Vince had no clue what Timothy was up to. The guy was acting all mysterious, so Vince leaned in, thinking maybe Timothy wanted to share a secret.

Instead, Timothy quickly plucked a hair from Vince’s head.

“You had a gray hair. I took care of it for you.”

“So much drama over a single gray hair?”

Timothy made a show of tossing it into the trash, but in reality, he kept it clenched in his palm.

“Are you going to tell me which hospital she’s in or not?”

“I can give you her home address, but that’s it. Wait until she’s discharged, give her some time to rest. I visited her yesterday—it’s nothing serious. She’ll be out soon.”

Vince gave in, and Timothy didn’t press further.

Vince ended up giving Timothy the address of the apartment he’d arranged for Jessica.

After breakfast, Abell and Sandra went out for a walk, leaving only Sheila at home. She stood outside, eavesdropping on Vince and Timothy’s conversation through the open window.

They were vague, talking in fragments, so Sheila couldn’t piece together the full story. But one thing was obvious: Timothy was here for Jessica, desperate to see her and set things straight.

If Timothy managed to explain himself and Jessica forgave him, their marriage would continue—and Sheila’s chances would disappear entirely.

That was not the outcome Sheila wanted.

Timothy belonged to her, and she absolutely refused to let Jessica—a mute—steal the man she loved most.

The Zimmerman family was equally frustrating. For such an old-money, prominent household, it was absurd how well they treated Jessica. Vince even suggested Jessica pretend to be his younger sister.

What if Mrs. Zimmerman took a liking to Jessica and decided to officially make her part of the family? That would only raise Jessica’s status even higher.

When Sheila heard the conversation winding down, she slipped outside and sat in her car.
