His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 250: Catherine Is Dying
The holiday planning had started as a spreadsheet.Two households, eight people, two infants, five children across a thirteen-year age range. Dietary requirements, nap schedules, Ollie's current developmental phase where he considered everything within reach a personal snack."Seven-bedroom house," Regina said over the phone. Lewis could hear Ollie investigating something in the background. "Outside Edinburgh. Sea views, enclosed garden. Big enough that we won't be on top of each other.""Send it."She sent it. It was perfect and expensive, and Lewis booked it before Yessica could see the full price.The group chat had evolved from functional to genuinely entertaining. David replied to everything with extremely specific logistical follow-ups. Regina added three items to the packing list for every one removed. Yessica had started labelling categories: Essential, Probably Essential, Arguably Essential, and Lewis Is Going To Think This Is Not Essential But He's Wrong.Ethan, during his w
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 249: Grace Is Finally Thriving
Dr. Pemberton read the chart, then looked up with the expression of a doctor who had been waiting a long time to deliver good news."She's caught up. Properly on the growth curve now. She's not 'failure to thrive' anymore — she's just going to be petite." He smiled. "You did it."Yessica cried.Not the helpless kind. Not the kind from those early weeks when every hour felt like falling. This was the crying of someone who had carried something heavy for a very long time and had finally been told she could set it down.Grace, for her part, was wholly unconcerned. She stared at the examination room light with the fixed concentration she brought to all sources of illumination, as if she were cataloguing them.All developmental milestones met. Social smiles. Tracking. Head control. And sleep — five, sometimes six consecutive hours — which had turned their household from a survival exercise back into something resembling a real life.***Dr. Sarah Chen had the afternoon slot."Mood assessme
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 248: Four Years On
Four years. That was how long it had taken for Regina's hallway to feel like this.Lewis stood in the doorway holding Grace's car seat and a bottle of wine, while behind him Claire and Rose negotiated loudly about who was carrying what bag. He looked at the photo wall running the length of the hallway — framed wedding photos, hospital shots from Ollie's birth, holidays, ordinary Tuesday evenings someone had thought to photograph.Visual proof of a family that had built itself by choice."Welcome!" Regina's arms were already open, already reaching for Claire. "Can you believe it's been four years?"Ethan had already vanished into the living room. The sound of him explaining a Lego structure to anyone who would listen filled the house within thirty seconds.David took coats with the ease of a man comfortable in his own home. Rose installed herself beside Ollie's high chair with the authority of someone who had decided babies were her area. Grace sat in her bouncy seat between Lewis and

Lewis came home from therapy on a Tuesday afternoon wearing the look Yessica knew well — like he'd moved something heavy in his head and wasn't sure yet where to set it down."She's dying," he said. "And I don't know what I feel about it."They were in the kitchen. Yessica set down the knife she was using and gave him her full attention."Tell me what comes up when you try," she said."Anger," he said. "She destroyed so much. She hired people to go after your career. She attacked you. She tried to take Ethan. She spent thirty years treating love like a transaction and punishing me every time I didn't pay the price she'd set."He leaned against the counter and crossed his arms."Grief, maybe. For the mother I never had. I'm losing something I never actually possessed.""That's a real loss," Yessica said. "It doesn't require the thing to have existed to grieve its absence.""Dr. Walsh said something like that." He was quiet for a moment. "And relief. When she dies, the threat is permane
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 246: She Said Goodbye to His Father
Lewis helped Harrison into his shirt that morning.Harrison had asked to be dressed properly. No hospital gown, no compromise. A real shirt, his navy cardigan, his hair combed.He looked at himself in the handheld mirror when they finished and said, "Good enough."Lewis set the mirror down. The car would arrive at half past ten. He had twenty minutes, and he spent them sitting in the hallway outside his father's door, listening to the house breathe.He heard the car before he saw it.He opened the front door himself.The woman who stepped out of the supervised transport stopped him cold. He had prepared for Catherine Sterling — sixty-five, prison-aged, diminished.He had not prepared for the degree of it. Her hair had gone entirely white. She was thin in a way that looked like something systematic had taken place over a long time. She wore dark trousers and a pale blouse, nothing like the armored designer suits she had built her identity around.Her hands, clasped in front of her, sho

Yessica found Harrison on the kitchen floor at half past seven in the morning.He was conscious, which was the first relief. His eyes were open, tracking, and the moment he saw her, he said, very clearly, "Don't make a fuss."His voice was wrong. Slower than usual. One side of his mouth had gone slightly slack.She was already dialing 999 before he finished the sentence.The paramedics were efficient. Harrison was not pleased with any of them.At the hospital, the neurologist was a careful woman who looked Yessica directly in the eye when she delivered the news."Recovery is unlikely. We're talking weeks to months, potentially. We'll need to discuss what he wants regarding care."What Harrison wanted was to go home.Lewis arrived within an hour, still in his work jacket. Pale. The particular pale of someone who'd been bracing for news without realizing they were bracing.Yessica held his hand in the corridor. He didn't cry. He asked the right questions, nodded at the right times, and

POV: Yessica | Location: EdinburghDr. Gillies's practice was a twenty-minute walk from the Grassmarket.They didn't talk much on the way. Not because the silence was uncomfortable — it wasn't. It had the quality of two people moving toward the same thing with their own separate versions of dread,
