Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 600

Vince dialed Herbert’s number without hesitation.

She never wanted her family to know about her cancer. She didn’t want anyone else to know, either.

But Herbert owned a hospital—he was the only person Vince could trust with the truth.

As soon as Herbert answered, he heard the urgency in Vince’s voice. “Which hospital do you run?”

“What’s going on?”

“Jessy’s lost consciousness. She’s had liver cancer for four months.”

Herbert’s phone nearly slipped from his hands.

“She didn’t want to worry her family or anyone close to her. She’s been hiding it from everyone. I’m taking her to the hospital now, but whichever place I choose, there’s a risk someone will find out. So you’re the only one I can turn to.”

Herbert’s voice trembled. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner? Why did you wait so long?”

But he caught himself, his tone shifting quickly to panic. “Bring her to YS Private Hospital. I’ll meet you there and prep the ER.”

Jessica was unconscious. This wasn’t the time for blame—saving her came first.

“I’m on my way.”

Thankfully, Jessica’s parents were at the hospital already, so no one was home to see Vince carrying her to the car. He rushed her to the hospital.

At the entrance, the emergency team whisked Jessica onto a gurney and raced her toward the trauma room.

Herbert specialized in neurology, not oncology, but he stayed with Vince in the hallway while the liver specialists took charge.

“What happened?” Herbert’s nerves were frayed. “Cancer isn’t some minor thing. She wanted to keep it secret, but how could you go along with her? Why wasn’t she getting treatment?”

He had a thousand questions.

He’d waited so long for Jessica to finally leave her husband, waited for his chance—and now, this news hit him like a bolt from the blue.
