Casey’s Regret Chapter 10
I lay sprawled on the couch, crying my heart out until dawn. I never thought that the donation agreement would really take effect.For six years, I blamed Cora. I resented her for not visiting me, for never coming to pay respects at our mother’s grave.However, I forgot that I had told her never to appear in front of me again.I did not know that on the very night of our mother’s death, Cora had just received news that Charles was about to conduct an illegal deal on a yacht.She and Luke had already set their trap. As long as they secured the key evidence that night, they could send Charles straight to the Supreme Tribunal of the Silverfang Territory.She had reached out through the mind link, telling me she could only return the next day.However, the mind link was suddenly cut off, so she changed her flight and rushed back to the northern border overnight. She caught the earliest flight, only to be delayed by a storm. By the time she landed, it was already noon the next day.I
Casey’s Regret Chapter 9
Casey’s POV:My Cora was gone. She spoke to me last at the old house’s entrance. She had sat in her wheelchair and needed to bring her bowl close to her face to eat. When she tried to tie my tie, she could not even make a proper knot.The last thing she said was, “The weather’s getting warmer, but still, wear more layers. Don’t catch a chill.”There were so many signs. She had been telling me goodbye all this while, and I had overlooked everything.…As I was walking downstairs, I missed a step and fell to the ground. My heartbeat went out of rhythm, as if something was pulling me down. My chest tightened painfully.A few kids ran past me, laughing until they nearly fell, finding it hilarious to see an adult fall.I got up, opened my car door, sat down, and could not shake the feeling that something was wrong today.I thought, maybe I would tell Cora this embarrassing story when I got home tonight. Perhaps she would laugh. She had not laughed in so long.When she was little, C
Casey’s Regret Chapter 8
That phone call was clearly important to Casey.He went straight into the bedroom, almost like he feared I would eavesdrop. That was fine. At least Casey would not see me secretly crying.Just before he closed the door, I vaguely heard Victoria’s voice on the other end. She was crying as she questioned him, her tone full of grievance.Maybe it was the first time Casey had not gone home for an entire night.Then, it struck me that I had brought Casey back here. However, his real home… was no longer here.I lowered my head, finished the bowl of oatmeal, and sat at the table. I was unable to move, so I quietly waited.The food on the table grew colder and colder, little by little. It was not until half an hour later that he returned.He casually ate a few bites, then put down his bowl and pushed me toward the bedroom. There was even more distance between us now. I knew he was in a rush to go home.However, I pretended not to notice, insisting on keeping myself here to have him acc

It was such an abrupt question, but I nodded lightly. “Okay.”It was as if those humiliating confrontations between us had never happened, nor that bone-deep hatred we once carried for each other.Casey stayed in the hospital for more than half a month before he took me with him when he was discharged.On the day we left, my attending doctor quietly pulled me aside. “Your brother’s condition is fine. I can understand why he's being discharged. But you? How can you leave?”Casey was waiting for me down the hall. I lowered my voice. “Staying longer won’t change anything. I don’t want to die in a hospital.”Just like that, I left with Casey.After we filled out the paperwork, he went down to the underground parking lot to get the car, while I waited at the entrance.Just then, I heard a slightly hesitant voice calling, “Cora?”The voice was both familiar and distant. I turned and saw a man in his early 60s, his hair completely white, walking toward me.My memory had been deterior

After our father was imprisoned, he refused to accept it and even pulled strings to file an appeal. However, the evidence was clear. Hence, the verdict remained unchanged.I rushed to the prison as soon as I could, to deliver the news to him in person. He, however, looked like he already knew. His face did not show the slightest emotion.However, when he saw me entering in a wheelchair, there was a flicker of twisted delight in his eyes.I looked straight at him, my tone calm. “It doesn’t matter what happens to me. What matters is that you’ll never get out of here. If they let you walk free, that would be an insult to Casey and me. Even if they gave you the death penalty, you'd still taint my mother’s soul in the afterworld. Rotting here like this is what suits you best.”His face instantly twisted with rage.As I turned to leave, he bellowed furiously behind me, “So what if you do all this?! Do your mother and brother even believe you? Don't they already think of you as a cold-bl

Casey lifted his hand, as if to hold onto me.Just then, a frantic voice called out from behind. “Cora!”Casey’s hand jerked back as though I were a flaming hot iron. The next second, his expression turned cold, his tone edged with irritation he could not quite hide.“Quit pretending. Stay away from me.”My body crumpled like a branch stripped of support, collapsing to the ground with a heavy thud. Pain exploded through me, as though my bones had all come apart.Through the haze, I vaguely saw that Casey’s expression had changed. Panic flooded his face as he crouched beside me. His voice was tight and frantic. “Cora? Can you hear me? Don’t scare me…”He reached out as if to hold me but hesitated, terrified he might hurt me further. Clumsy and desperate, he grabbed his phone and called the ambulance.The next instant, Victoria rushed over in alarm. She crouched by my side, her hand stretching toward me. “What’s wrong with Cora? Why did she suddenly—”Before she could finish, Cas
