Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 602

Jessica was on the verge of tears. After waiting for so long, Timothy had finally agreed to a divorce, only for this to happen.

Vince saw her distress. “He’s not answering?”

“No.”

“Don’t get upset, it’s not good for you. I’ll go find him later,” Vince said, trying to soothe her. “And even if he changes his mind, don’t worry. If he won't divorce you, then so be it. You have cancer. You can let the identity of ‘Jessica Greene’ go. Once you’re healthy again, you’ll be Salome Zimmerman.”

Vince was hoping to calm her down, to stop her from worrying about the divorce when her health was so fragile. Her condition was deteriorating, and he knew the coming stages of her illness would bring even more pain. He couldn’t bear for her to waste any energy on this.

Jessica stopped trying to call Timothy. In her heart, she knew him well enough to understand. His message was a clear statement of his intentions. He had given her a deadline, and because she hadn't met it, he was using it as an excuse. This was why she’d never told him about the cancer; she knew severing ties was the only way she could truly leave him.

“Vince,” she said softly, “he’s never going to sign those papers now.”

“Just focus on resting. Don't think about it anymore. This hospital belongs to Herbert. When you collapsed this morning, you scared me half to death. I didn't want to reveal your condition without your permission, so I called him. You're safer here. He's already searching for a liver donor. We’re all going to do everything we can to get you better. Just rest. I'll go talk to Timothy. If he really refuses, then Jessica Greene will simply cease to exist.”

It seemed like the only option left.

Vince left the hospital, got into his car, and called Timothy. Timothy answered.

“Where are you?”

“Herbert, thank you,” she whispered. “Without you, I probably would have given up all hope. Thank you for doing so much for me.” She knew he had feelings for her. But in her condition, she couldn’t promise him anything.

Vince arrived at Timothy's hospital room to find him on an IV drip.

“Did Jessica send you?” Timothy asked immediately.

“No, I came on my own.” Vince took a seat. “Do you know why she didn’t make it to City Hall today?”
