Chapter 8 No Amount of Regret Could Bring Me Back

Author: Warm Worth
Sherry chose the anniversary of the day I left home to bring my body back. "Landon," she whispered softly, "let me walk you one last time."

I followed behind her in silence.

Her back, once straight and proud, now seemed bent beneath an invisible weight. She was only thirty-four, yet she looked like someone who had already lived through a lifetime of grief.

She took me to be cremated herself.

She personally placed my ashes into the urn.

Then, she drove to a small hill on the outskirts o

  • She Discovered Too Late   Chapter 10 I Don't Want Another Life With You

    After everything was done, Sherry returned to my grave. She stayed there for three days and nights, barely eating or drinking. She let the wind cut through her and the rain soak her clothes until she looked less like a living person and more like a ghost waiting to fade away. Her assistant came to persuade her. "Ms. Bennett, your health—" "Leave," Sherry rasped. "Let me stay with him." The assistant sighed and walked away. I floated beside her, watching her hollow cheeks and the strands of white in her hair. For the first time in a long while, my heart ached. This woman had once been the sister I loved most. Now, she had become this. To avenge me, she had destroyed Mason with her own hands. She had destroyed herself as well.… Not long after, Sherry fell ill. The doctors said it was heart failure and that she had three months left at most, but she refused treatment. "I don't want to live anymore," she told the doctor quietly. "I want to go be with my brother." Then

  • She Discovered Too Late   Chapter 9 My Late Revenge

    When Sherry heard about Mason's condition, she went to see him one last time. She found him inside an abandoned factory on the edge of Silverbrook, curled up in a dark corner and trembling violently. The moment he saw her, his eyes lit up. He crawled across the dirty floor and clung to her leg like a drowning man grabbing at his final hope. "Sherry… Landon's ghost keeps coming to me," he choked out. "He says he's going to drag me to hell with him." Sherry looked down at him with pure disgust in her eyes. "You should have gone to hell a long time ago." She crouched in front of him and grabbed him by the throat. "Do you know what Landon said before he died?" Mason shook his head desperately, tears streaming down his face. "He said the biggest mistake of his life was saving you," she told him, her voice turning colder with every word. "He said if he could do it all over again, he would rather die than donate his liver to you." Mason broke down completely. "I'm sorry… I'm

Her back, once straight and proud, now seemed bent beneath an invisible weight. She was only thirty-four, yet she looked like someone who had already lived through a lifetime of grief. She took me to be cremated herself. She personally placed my ashes into the urn. Then, she drove to a small hill on the outskirts of Silverbrook. There were no headstones, no cemetery, and no grand memorial. Only endless wildflowers swaying in the wind. Sherry dug the grave herself and gently placed my ashes into the ground, as if she were afraid of hurting me again. Then, she stayed there throughout the night. Her voice trembled in the darkness. "Landon, I'm here with you. I'll come see you every year from now on."… After Mason was discharged from the hospital, his life completely fell apart. He could no long

  • She Discovered Too Late   Chapter 7 A Hundred Times His Pain

    Mason asked, "Where did you get this?" Sherry crouched in front of him, her eyes cold enough to cut. "Did you really think no one would ever find out?" Mason trembled under her stare. "These past seven years must have been comfortable for you," she continued. "The precious young heir of the Bennett family. Whatever you wanted, you got." Her voice tightened. "But do you know how Landon spent those seven years?" She pulled out a stack of photos.… They showed the life I had lived after leaving the Bennett family. In one photo, I stood beside a factory line, my fingers wrapped in bloodstained gauze after a machine accident. In another, I was covered in dust at a construction site, so thin that my work gloves looked too large for my hands. Another showed me curled up alone in a hospital hallway. The last one showed me in a freezing rented basement, hugging my knees to my chest as I shivered in the dark. Every photo cut into her heart. "Look at them." Sherry grabb

  • She Discovered Too Late   Chapter 6 She Learned the Truth Too Late

    Sherry took the letter from the doctor, her hands trembling so badly she could barely hold it. The handwriting on the page was thin, but familiar. 'Sherry, by the time you read this, I'll already be gone. Thank you for the warmth you once showed me. After Mom and Dad died, you were the one who held the family together. You protected me all those years, and I never forgot that. 'I still remember you trying to learn how to make my favorite roasted beef just to cheer me up. You nearly burned down the kitchen that night. I remember getting sick and waking up to find you sitting beside my bed, staying up all night to tell me stories until I fell asleep again. 'I remember you promising that you would protect me for the rest of your life. Back then, I truly believed we would always have each other. Too bad nothing in this world lasts forever. Still, thank you for teaching me that. 'When I die, don't bring my ashes back to the Bennett family. Just bury me somewhere quiet, somewhere n

  • She Discovered Too Late   Chapter 5 The Truth She Found After I Died

    Sherry's head snapped up. Through the glass, she looked at my lifeless body lying inside the ICU. Her eyes were bloodshot, filled with shock, regret, and a kind of despair that had come far too late. On the tablet, every piece of evidence cut into her like a blade. The security footage clearly showed Mason sneaking my phone out of my backpack, logging into my account, and sending those vicious messages in the class group chat. His head was lowered, but the smug curve of his mouth was impossible to miss.After he finished, he carefully slipped the phone back into the same spot. Then came the exam incident. The footage showed Mason taking advantage of the moment I left for the bathroom. He slipped over to my desk, flipped through my test papers, then later "accidentally" told the teacher that I had studied late the night before and somehow guessed every key topic. The most chilling clip was from the stairwell. In the video, I was walking downstairs with my backpack over on
