Regret Comes 99 Wishes Later Chapter 8
I chuckled frostily and showed another video. In the footage, Nadine was smiling as she handed cash to the blonde thug who had assaulted me in the alley."Don't kill her, but make her wish she were dead," Nadine instructed menacingly.Connor grabbed her wrist and questioned in a trembling voice, "I can't believe you hired someone to go after her. How could you? If she dies, there won't be any hope for the company!"Nadine struggled against his grip. "I did it for you! Would I have done it if she had been more cooperative?"The reporters went into a frenzy and snapped away. Under the intense flashing lights, Nadine's makeup started to melt, smearing down her face. She shouted hysterically, "And how are you any better? Haven't you been using her all along?""Shut up!" Connor slapped her so hard that she fell to the ground.Then, he turned and crawled on his knees toward me. "Willow, I'm so sorry for everything… It was this bitch stirring trouble between us…"I took a step back,

I let out a sigh. I didn't feel like talking to him any longer. So, I headed back up the mountain with Kieran.When we reached the top, Augustus was still in the same meditative posture as when I had left."You're back." He opened his eyes and looked straight at me.I walked toward him slowly. My body was nearing its limit now. Even taking a few steps felt exhausting. I sat down beside him and leaned against his shoulder. Breathing in his familiar scent, I felt at peace.It was a pity I didn't have much time left to stay by his side."Don't be so eager to die. A turning point is coming soon," he said cryptically.…A few days passed. Just when I thought Connor and Nadine had given up, I received a message out of the blue.When I opened it, I saw Connor and Nadine holding torches, poised to throw them to the ground. Behind them stood a crowd of people holding cameras.They sent a message that read, "Get down here immediately, or I'll burn Mount Lorien to the ground."Not long

"Willow! I knew you'd be here!" Connor exclaimed emotionally.I brushed his hand away and took a step back. "Mr. Garrett, to what do I owe the honor of your visit?"Connor suddenly dropped to his knees and clutched my wrist tightly.He was a blubbering mess as he pleaded desperately, "Willow, I'm so sorry. Please help me make one more wish and make all my wealth come back, okay? Just one last wish. Once you make it, we'll get married right away, okay?"I shook off his hand, suddenly finding the situation laughable.Five years ago, the man who knelt before Augustus' door still carried a trace of dignity. But now, the man in front of me, who had snot and tears streaming down his face, was nothing more than a hollow shell eaten away by greed.I let out a cold laugh. "Connor, don't you know that my wishes are limited? You probably don't know this either—my 100th wish was to return everything to its original state. Your wealth and status never truly belonged to you."Connor's face tu

"Officer, there must be some mistake. How could there be any problem with the money?"Pandemonium erupted at the scene. Guests whispered among themselves as camera flashes went off one after another.Nadine panicked immediately. No one knew better than her that without my wish-granting ability, Connor would never have had the funds to start his own company.The police officer offered no further explanation. They simply followed procedure and cuffed Connor's wrists.Before long, the news of Connor being taken away by the police shot to the top of trending searches.I had enough of looking at news about him. So, I turned off my phone and leaned back in my seat. I closed my eyes to rest as I waited for the plane to land.After getting off the plane, I saw Kieran holding a bouquet from afar. He waved at me vigorously through the crowd.I walked toward him, holding back my tears. "Kieran."He smiled, and I saw his eyes redden too as he gently patted my shoulder. "It's good that you'

A vicious voice rang out beside me. I looked up to see several men who looked like thugs grinning at me lewdly."Boss, why are we kidnapping this old woman?" A blonde thug stepped forward to size me up."Shut up. Don't ask why. It's Ms. Zeigler's orders."So it was Nadine! My whole body shook, and my nails dug deeply into my palms."Heh. I'm just curious. But this old woman's probably all shriveled like a prune, right? Why don't we check the goods first…"The blonde thug let out a disgusting laugh. As he spoke, they dragged me into an alley and tore at my clothes.I glared at them fiercely. I swore that if I ever had the chance to go back, I would make Connor and Nadine pay the price!Just then, a sharp shout came from the entrance of the alley. "Police! Don't move!"Several police officers in uniform rushed in. "Everyone, squat down, hands on your head!"The leading officer quickly walked over to me and took off his uniform jacket to drape it over me."Are you alright, ma'am

Nadine's eyes instantly reddened with unshed tears. "Willow, I know you dislike me, but you can't just waste food like this.""That's enough. Stop making a scene," Connor chastised me, shooting to his feet with undisguised disappointment in his eyes.Looking at how anxiously he defended Nadine, I let out a mocking laugh."I'm allergic to crab," I stated plainly.The moment those words left my mouth, Connor was stunned for a moment.In the past, I had always lived in the mountains. So, I had never had any seafood. I had no idea that I was allergic to crab at all.Not long after I made my first wish for Connor, his company finally secured an investor. To celebrate, he took me to eat the most famous seafood restaurant in Ayrond.As a result, I was rushed straight to the emergency room after taking a bite of crab meat.When I woke up, I saw Connor kneeling beside my bed with reddened eyes, holding a glass of medicine. After that, every time we ate seafood, Connor would carefully pi
