Regret After Goodbye Chapter 9
After six hours of emergency surgery, the doctors finally pulled Kristen back from the brink of death.Luckily, Lance had slowed down slightly just before impact, which was the only reason Kristen had survived at all.After three days of observation in the ICU, Kristen was moved to a regular ward.Kristen had gotten hurt saving me, after all, so I postponed my trip to Redmere and did everything I could to take care of her.On the fifth day after the accident, Kristen finally woke up. When she saw me sitting by her bed, she let out a soft laugh."Callum, is Lance going to prison?"I nodded."Deliberately running someone down in public is a serious crime. He'll probably spend the best years of his life behind bars.""Thank you, Callum. I never want to live in his shadow again. I'm so tired. I'm really, really tired."I've been asleep for so many days, and I kept having the same dream. I dreamed I died in the accident. Then I got a second chance and woke up on the day we first go
Regret After Goodbye Chapter 8
The days always went by quickly when there was something to look forward to. Following Alan's plans, we were set to leave for Redmere in one week, but that week flew by as fast as a single day.Maddie and I seemed to have endless energy, and work that used to take us a full day now took only half a day to finish with ease.Maybe what I had said last time had really hurt Kristen, because she stopped showing up to bother me. Instead, she used a string of burner accounts to message me about how much she missed me and how badly she wanted things to go back to the way they were.She said she regretted everything and had only just realized that Lance never loved her at all.Every time she sent a message, I blocked that number, but somehow Kristen managed to get her hands on a new one every single day, as if she had lost her mind. Eventually I stopped paying attention. If she wanted to keep sending them, fine. It was not like it would hurt me.There was one thing I could not wrap my he

Maybe it was her guilty conscience, but Kristen left me alone for a little over a month after that.Without all that drama weighing on me, I threw myself into my work and the certification exams.I no longer had to calculate how much time I could spare before rushing home to cook. I no longer had to swallow my pride and walk on eggshells around anyone. I no longer had to agonize over how to make Kristen fall in love with me.Now, all I had to do was what I enjoyed. I could explore fields I had never touched before and pick up the dream of working in computer science that I had set aside for so many years.Once my life felt full again, the days flew by. Each time I dug deeper into computer science, I felt more like the ambitious, driven guy I had been back in college.A few days later, Maddie and I took the certification exam together.When it was over, we looked at each other and smiled. We both knew that after two months of intense studying, our hard work would pay off.Two wee

Now that I had a goal, I felt more motivated at work. I went online to look up information about computer certification exams and ended up reading for the entire morning. It was not until Maddie waved a boxed lunch in front of my face that I realized it was already lunchtime."Callum, take it easy. Leave some work for us interns, will you?"I took the lunch and started eating slowly. Halfway through, Maddie poked my arm, her little face scrunched up as she looked at the barely touched lunch on her desk."Callum, now I finally get why you're never excited about lunch. This company's food is awful!"The utterly miserable look on her face made me laugh. I simply put my lunch down and grabbed my phone off the desk."Come on. I'm taking you somewhere with real food. My treat!"When we got to the entrance, I was surprised to find Kristen there. She was wearing a long white dress with her hair down, and she was staring at Maddie and me with a dark expression.As I walked over, Kristen

With my commute cut down to ten minutes, I finally got to sleep in.After a leisurely breakfast, Evan and I headed to the office together."Callum, you're early today!" My manager stood by the time clock, smiling at me."I moved, sir. Getting to work is going to be a lot easier from now on, and I won't have to walk on eggshells around anyone anymore."Understanding dawned on his face, and he gave my shoulder a light pat. "That's the spirit. A young man should put his career first. We've got a group of interns starting today, so I'm counting on you to help show them the ropes!"I smiled and nodded.My manager, Alan Pickering, had always thought highly of me. Over the years, he had given me plenty of guidance at work, and at one point he had even wanted to send me overseas to grow my career.Back then, I had wanted to stay and take care of Kristen, so I let those opportunities slip by.After clocking in, I went back to my desk and got ready to tackle the day's work.I had barely

I stood in the living room and looked around. In the house I had lived in for five years, there was pitifully little that belonged to me. It seemed like one small suitcase would be enough to erase every trace of me from this place.For all those years, I had worked hard to give Kristen a better life. After my shift every day, I would rush home to make her dinner, then hurry out again to do food deliveries.I even cut myself down to six hours of sleep a night. I could not promise Kristen the life of a rich man's wife, but at least I made sure she never had to worry about food or clothes, and that she was never bothered by the little hassles of everyday life.Even after all that, Kristen never once looked at me properly. To her, I was just some crude guy who only cared about money, and I would never compare to the bright, handsome Lance she remembered.What she seemed to forget was that I had given up on my passion for computer science and spent every day delivering food, rain or shi
