Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 555

He asked which hospital Henry was in. For Timothy, this was a good sign—it meant Jessica was worried about their son.

He immediately texted Vince, letting him know he was on his way to Riverside Hospital. He didn’t have any more details yet.

Vince snapped his phone shut, stood up, and took Jessica’s hand. “Come on. Let’s go to the hospital.”

Mrs. Zimmerman called after them, “Drive safe, you two. Don’t go too fast.”

When they arrived, Timothy and Mabel were already waiting outside the emergency room.

As soon as Mabel spotted Jessica, she rushed over. “Ma’am!”

Mabel was clearly anxious. As angry as Henry’s behavior had made her, he was still Jessica’s son—a part of her, no matter what. Even if Jessica had given up custody in the divorce, there was no way she’d want anything bad to happen to her child.

“What happened to Henry? How did he suddenly lose consciousness?”

“I don’t really know,” Mabel said, wringing her hands. “We were just having dinner and he fainted out of nowhere. It scared me half to death.”

Jessica frowned. “Has he seemed off lately? Anything unusual?”

“A few days ago, Miss Sallie took him home, and he’s been staying at the Lawson place ever since. Mr. Lawson only brought him back today. He seemed fine.”

But Jessica couldn’t shake a sense of unease.

Vince tried to reassure her. “Don’t worry. He’s always been a healthy kid. He’ll be alright.”

Timothy, seeing Jessica desperate for answers, pulled out his phone and called Naylor Lawson.

“Dad, has Henry seemed unwell at all while he’s been at your place these past few days?”

“No, nothing. He’s been perfectly fine, just like always.”

It was all so sudden, Timothy had no idea what to make of it.

“Why are you asking all of a sudden?”

The truth was, taking care of their son wasn’t something he was good at—not like Jessica was. Their home really couldn’t function without her.

Jessica didn’t want to argue with Timothy anymore. She’d always been the one to take care of these things; he’d always been too busy with work.

For Timothy, though, guilt weighed heavily on him now.

Before, when everything ran smoothly, he hadn’t noticed anything amiss. Only now, when something had gone wrong, did he realize Jessica was the heart of their family—irreplaceable.

Over an hour later, the doors to the emergency room finally opened.

Timothy hurried over to the doctor. “How’s my son?”
