Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 586

Surgery always comes with risks, and the thought alone left Sallie shaken.

She stared at the consent form in her hands, too unsettled to speak.

Herbert tried to reassure her. “Every surgery has its risks, Sallie. But waiting comes with its own dangers too. If you can’t decide on your own, talk it over with your family. All of us here, every doctor, will do everything we can for Timothy.”

He spoke calmly, as a doctor—objective, professional, keeping his personal feelings out of it, even with the holiday approaching. He never let private matters interfere with his work.

“Thank you, Dr. Wheeler.”

Sallie could be hot-tempered, but she wasn’t unreasonable. She knew Herbert was giving his all for Timothy’s sake this time.

“Once you’ve discussed it and made a decision, let me know. We’ll schedule the surgery as soon as possible.”

With that, Herbert headed back to his office.

Sallie stood there, and her brother spoke up. “Sis, I still think we should go ahead with the surgery. I know there are risks, but if it succeeds, we won’t have to worry about him ending up in a vegetative state.”

“But Timothy’s all we have.”

No one could make a choice like this easily—not when it was about someone’s fate.

Yates and Kane stood by, silent. In moments like this, only the Lawsons could decide.

Thurston suggested, “Maybe we should ask Grandpa and Dad what they think?”

“You go talk to them. I’ll find Jessica.”

Jessica was the other person whose opinion mattered.
