Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 581

“I’m feeling much better after taking the medicine. Really, I’m fine.”

Vince glanced at the cake on the table, then headed out.

After Jessica finished getting ready, she and Vince set off for the hospital together.

At the entrance to the Intensive Care Unit, Sallie was waiting. She watched as Herbert arrived, accompanied by a group of specialists. Even the hospital director personally came to greet them, leading the team to change into scrubs before entering the ICU.

Timothy’s attending physician was there as well. Sallie hurried over to ask for an update.

He explained, “Dr. Wheeler says he’s a friend of Mrs. Lawson’s and has invited a renowned neurologist from overseas to consult on Timothy’s condition. There’s a lot of hope, so please try not to worry and wait patiently.”

Sallie glanced at Herbert, surprised—she had never expected him to gather so many experts for Timothy’s sake.

She suddenly felt foolish for having been so suspicious of Herbert’s relationship with Jessica. She’d let her jealousy cloud her judgment.

Turning to Herbert, she said quietly, “Thank you.”

Herbert replied, “You don’t need to thank me. I’m not doing this for you, or for Timothy, either.”

With that, he joined the specialists and disappeared down the hallway toward the changing rooms.

Sallie stood there, momentarily stunned.

Vince and Jessica arrived at the hospital next. As they stepped out of the car, Vince sighed. “You know, I’m just too softhearted. I’ve run into Henry dozens of times before and never realized he was my nephew. When I finally found out, and then learned how ungrateful he’s been, I honestly wanted nothing to do with him. But knowing he’s sick, I can’t help but feel for the kid. I just want to go see him for a minute—just a quick look from outside. Will you come with me?”

Jessica had spent last night making a birthday cake all alone. Vince knew Henry was still on her mind. He wasn’t doing this for himself; he was doing it for her.

“Of course,” Jessica replied.

They walked to Henry’s hospital room. He was still unconscious, with Naylor sitting quietly at his bedside.
