Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 618

Sheila was both shocked and thrilled. After he had rejected her so harshly, he was now not only in her room but had locked the door.

“Timothy…” she breathed his name, her voice full of emotion.

“I need your help with something,” he said bluntly. There was no time to waste; Jessica couldn't wait. She was in so much pain, and he couldn't bear the thought of her suffering for another day.

“Is it something important? You look so serious,” she said. “You know you don't have to be like this with me. If you need my help, of course I'll help you.”

“Jessica has liver cancer. I need you to be a donor.”

Sheila thought she was hallucinating. Was this a scene from a novel? The man she loved was asking her to give one of her organs to the woman he loved.

“Timothy, don't you think you're being cruel?” she asked, a bitter laugh escaping her lips. “You know how I feel about you, yet you’re asking me to donate my liver to Jessica? The Zimmermans are powerful, and so are you. Are you telling me you can't find a single suitable donor, and you have to come to me? Timothy, you’re very good at what you do. Are you sure I’m the only match? Have you even been tested? It feels like you're not here to ask for a favor, but to rip my heart out!”

“Vince came to me personally. She’s had cancer for a while now, and he and Herbert have been searching for a long time. If there were any other options, why would I be here?”

Sheila’s eyes widened. “But I’ve never been tested for a match. How could they possibly know I’m compatible?”

“Have you ever had a comprehensive liver scan?”

She had brought the question down to life and death, making it a serious matter.

“She might not be related to you, but I’m the one asking. I promise Herbert will arrange for the best surgeons. You won't be in any danger, I swear.”

Sheila’s voice was laced with pain. “She isn't just anyone; she's your wife. And you know my feelings for you. How could I possibly do that for her? Timothy, I'm sorry. I can't.”

She had to seize this opportunity. Fate had handed it to her.
