Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 505

Sandra could only shake her head in resignation.

Vince was just reaching the ER doctor’s office with Jessica in his arms when she suddenly opened her eyes, disoriented to find herself in a hospital.

Panic flickered across her face. She quickly tugged at Vince’s sleeve. “I’m fine, really. You can put me down.”

“We’re already at the doctor’s office. Let’s just have you checked out.”

Jessica had barely made it home before her parents were overwhelmed with joy. If they saw her coming into the hospital now, there’d be no way to hide her cancer from them.

She had always planned to tell Vince first. Letting their parents know so soon would only devastate them—especially their mother.

Trying to sound casual, Jessica explained, “I just got a little woozy when I saw Timothy’s wound. I just need a minute to recover.”

It was true. She’d been through enough to understand. Some people aren’t normally squeamish, but when someone they care about is hurt badly, it can trigger a fainting response. That’s exactly what happened to her.

Timothy appeared just then, catching the tail end of her words. He hurried over. “Jessy, you still care about me, don’t you?”

Everyone turned as Timothy approached, and the mood soured instantly.

No matter how much worry, hope, or longing Timothy’s eyes held, Jessica felt nothing for him anymore.

They’d been married for seven years, and still, he hadn’t trusted her—he’d even insulted her outright. Even now, he was using Herbert as a wedge between them.

Jessica’s gaze was steady, her words cool and even. “Mr. Lawson, can’t we just put a period at the end of these past seven years?”

“Jessy, those years were real. How am I supposed to just end them?”

The memories couldn’t be erased or glossed over.

Timothy’s voice trembled. “I’m sorry for what I said earlier. I shouldn’t have doubted you. I shouldn’t have lashed out. I never meant to refuse your calls for help that stormy night—I tried to get to you. I promised I’d file for divorce and I meant it. I just… realized there’s so much we never talked about. Even if we’re ending things, shouldn’t we at least clear the air?”

Timothy rarely spoke this much in one go. Maybe that was part of the problem—he always left things unsaid, and every time their conversations broke off, their issues grew more tangled and unresolved.
