A Regret too Late Chapter 570
Melvin's right leg was wrapped in a thick cast and hung from the traction frame installed at the head of the bed.When he saw Eleanor, he asked impatiently, "Do you really treat Jonathan like he is your own son? Why are you dragging him everywhere you go?"Eleanor's face twisted with disdain. "My son? You think too highly of him. He's just a tool to soften Richard's heart."She gave a small, vicious smile. "Once I've become Richard's son and my position is firm enough, I'll pack him off overseas so I never have to see him again if he behaves. If he doesn't... Then I'll just make sure he becomes a walking dead who never gets to speak ever again."She set the fruit basket down on the bedside table. "Did you find the man who hit you?"Melvin glanced up at her, his voice thick with irritation and frustration. "Yeah, we found him. But what's the point? He's just some maniac.""Maniac?" Eleanor's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean? Is he faking it, or is he really...""He's genuinel

Willow hung up the phone. His usually stern expression loosened at once, breaking open in gloating delight.Cameron could tell Willow and Maria had something to discuss, so he gave them a calm smile and got ready to take his leave.As Willow watched the easy atmosphere now appearing between Maria and Cameron, he could not help but ask, "You two…made up?"Maria shook her head without embarrassment and answered evenly, "Not really. Cameron and I talked things through. We decided to be friends.""Friends?" Willow's smile instantly collapsed, replaced by deep regret. He let out a heavy sigh as he continued, "What a shame. I always thought he was the best match for you."Maria didn't want to stay on that topic. Curiosity laced her voice. "What did you hear on that call, anyway? You looked so happy."The satisfaction on Willow's face could no longer be hidden. "That scumbag Melvin got drunk in a bar, and someone beat him so badly his leg is broken! He's lying in a hospital bed whining

Maria felt even more unsure of herself after Cameron's question. She kept her head down, her fingers nervously picking at the cushion on the sofa. After a long silence, she finally forced out a thanks from her throat. "...Thank you.""You don't have to be so polite with him," Willow cut in from the side, keeping up his act of trying to make the two stay together. "Cameron, that's just how Mari is. She's thrilled inside, but she won't ever say it out loud. Don't take it too seriously.""Of course not," Cameron said as she kept smiling, but his gaze stayed on the tense line of Maria's face. He didn't follow Willow's lead and pressed Maria. Instead, he changed the topic and started talking about interesting things that happened in the business world, trying to ease the awkwardness in the room.Cameron caught on quickly to how uncomfortable Maria was, but he didn't call her out on it. He just smiled at her and said, "By the way, Mari, I have a few questions about the new collectio

Richard caught up with Maria at the corner of the street just as she was about to leave. "Mari!" He stepped in front of her, his voice low and firm. "I might not be able to go after Eleanor yet, but I'll make sure the one who drugged you pays the price."Maria felt a tugging feeling in her heart at his promise, but her expression stayed icy. Hearing the words "drugged" made the nausea surge up from deep inside. The breathless images from that night flashed through her mind, and she felt a rush of embarrassment and anger.She turned away, her tone flat and distant. "This is my problem. I don't need your help.""I know you don't." There was a bitter humility in Richard's voice. "Mari, I'm not trying to trade this for your forgiveness. I just… I just can't stand watching anyone hurt you again. Even if I'm not the one stepping in front of the danger for you, I still want to make sure that it never shows up again. This… This is the only thing I can do for you. Are you going to take eve

Eleanor was trembling in anger. She let out a sharp scream and raised her hand at Maria, ready to slap back as hard as she could."Stop!" Richard appeared out of nowhere, and he caught Eleanor's wrist in a tight grip before her hand could come down.Almost at the same moment, Jonathan forgot everything else and ran forward when he saw that Maria was about to be hit. He shoved Eleanor with all his might. Though he wasn't that strong, it was enough to make Eleanor stagger and break the swing of her arm.Eleanor's head was spinning because both father and son came in at the perfect moment.Something was off!Very off!She stared warily at Richard, then at Jonathan standing in front of Maria like a tiny shield. Suspicion surged up in her chest again.Richard realized that he and Jonathan had reacted far too strongly. It was the kind of thing that made it difficult not to be questioned. He quickly let go of Eleanor's wrist.He frowned, clearly displeased, and turned a sharp look o

Eleanor saw Maria and Jonathan, too. She narrowed her eyes, taking in the gentle scene between mother and son. Every alarm bell inside of her rang.It was too much of a coincidence.Jonathan had just left her place that morning, and he was having the time of his life at an amusement park with Maria by afternoon? That so-called "excuse" about having something to do had clearly just been something Eleanor made up. Now, why were these two here together?Frowning, Eleanor walked toward them.Jonathan froze for a heartbeat when he saw her, then snapped into motion. In the next second, he yanked his hand out of Maria's grip as if shocked. He stepped back two paces and raised his voice, sharp and piercing. "I told you to stay away from my dad! I only recognize Eleanor as my mom!"Maria had to admit Jonathan was a great actor. As Eleanor came closer, she quickly faked a hurt look.When Jonathan saw Maria's reaction, he played it up even more. He pointed his finger at her, looking f
