Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 608

“Impossible! I don’t believe you! Vince, you have to be lying to me!” Timothy stared wildly into Vince’s eyes, searching for any flicker of deceit, any hint that this was all a cruel joke. But Vince’s gaze was unwavering, firm. Timothy was on the verge of breaking.

He couldn’t accept it. “I spoke to her on the phone just two days ago! She was fine! And yesterday, even though she didn’t text back, she called me! How can you tell me today that she’s in that… that urn? How am I supposed to believe that?”

His voice cracked, the raw emotion tearing through him. Four months. He had only just discovered his wife had cancer, and now he was being confronted with her death. How could he possibly accept this? His heart felt like it was being systematically shredded.

“And I saw her recently! She looked like a normal person!”

“A normal person? Ha!” Vince laughed, a bitter, hollow sound. “Your wife had terminal cancer, and you didn’t even notice. You thought she was a normal person. You really are unbelievably blind.”

The weight of his guilt crashed down on Timothy again. This wasn't what he wanted. He never wanted this.

But even crushed by guilt, he couldn't accept that Jessica was gone. He released his grip on Vince, his voice dropping to a hoarse plea. “I don’t believe she’s dead. Please, just tell me where she is.” He was choking on his words, his voice breaking completely. He had wronged her for seven years and hadn't even begun to make amends. How could she just leave? They weren't even divorced. She had no right to go without his permission.
