Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 67

Was it really Sheila that Timothy wanted to marry back then?

To Timothy, she was just another tool.

She was his answer to the entire Lawson family.

When the Lawsons tried to keep him away from Sheila, Timothy turned around and married a mute woman—just to spite them.

Was that it?

Jessica couldn't be sure if her guess was right or not.

But deep down, she had always felt this was the truth.

Otherwise, how could someone like Timothy—a man so proud, so untouchable—ever want to marry her?

Jessica bit down hard, her jaw clenched tight.

That day, her old professor had invited her back to campus to interpret a speech in sign language. She was happy to help her alma mater.

She'd heard the speaker was a highly successful businessman.

The school had students who were deaf, so they wanted to make sure everyone could participate.

Jessica arrived and was chatting with her professor when Timothy swept in, surrounded by a crowd.

She didn't know why, but suddenly, he stepped right up to her and said, "I want to marry you. Will you marry me?"

She was stunned.

The man she'd secretly loved for four years was suddenly standing in front of her, asking for her hand. It was the stuff of fairy tales.

Over the years, she'd imagined countless ways their paths could cross.

In the end, she convinced herself of the simplest possibility: Timothy must have fallen for her at first sight.

Even after they married, when he grew distant, she told herself it was just his nature.

But now, the answer to all the questions that had haunted her was becoming painfully clear.

She'd woven herself into a love story that only moved her—and no one else.

To everyone else, she was nothing more than a tool.

A tool—through and through.

Jessica could barely breathe.

A metallic taste rose in her throat. She hurried to the bathroom, leaned over the sink, and threw up.

Blood streaked the porcelain, bright and shocking.
