All Chapters of A Regret too Late: Chapter 371 - Chapter 380

Richard was stopped for a second. Despite being somewhat distracted, he pulled out his wallet to pay. By the time he walked out, the car was already far down the road.He couldn't catch up, so he stopped where he was and let out a soft scoff."So, you think you can steal my woman like this. Keep dreaming," Richard mumbled to himself and took out his phone and made a call.Back in the car, Maria looked back at the restaurant behind them. She could barely see anyone now, only that bright neon sign still stood out in the distance. She sighed slowly and calmed herself before turning to the person beside her."I don't really know what he's doing. He clearly has zero interest in me, so why does he keep bothering me?"Cameron gave her a meaningful look and said, "Then you should ask him why he's clearly into you but still pretends he doesn't care and doesn't like you at all."Maria was quiet for a moment, then raised her brow in surprise. "Are you serious? He has a dead wife in his mi

Maria took a deep breath and told herself she could hold on. She forced herself to focus and used her phone to kill time.The ward was very quiet.Jonathan had already fallen sound asleep. Maria sat alone, staring out the window. From time to time, she lowered her head to scroll through headlines of gossip on her phone, becoming sleepier.By the time it was close to two in the morning and time to change his bandage again, she was yawning nonstop and could barely keep herself upright.She struggled to stay awake and finished changing Jonathan's bandage. She set an alarm for four in the morning, then fell asleep right there.Not long after, the door into the ward was slowly pushed open.Maria didn't feel anything and was still fast asleep.A pair of strong arms slid around her and lifted her gently from the chair.-The next day… Maria woke to the sound of a nurse talking.Before she even opened her eyes, she heard the nurse's alarmed voice. "Huh? Why is a family member here?

"I hate you..."Maria froze. It was the first time she had ever heard herself talking in her sleep. Her voice in the recording was full of hatred, helplessness, and pain.Just those lines were enough to drag her straight back into that stretch of agony in her past. The state of mind she had been in back then crashed over her again, and she felt every bit of it all over.She closed her eyes as her whole body trembled slightly, unable to calm down at all."What, nothing to say now?" Richard still didn't notice that something was wrong with Maria. He looked at her with a half-smile, his eyes full of curiosity.Maria closed her eyes again and forced herself to calm her emotions. She told herself that the Richard standing in front of her had completely forgotten everything that had happened before, that she should separate the two versions of him.Yet, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't do it.She couldn't stand in front of the same face and pretend she didn't see the ove

Richard snorted quietly as he hid in the changing room inside the doctor's office, listening to Dr. Wright and Maria's conversation.Maria looked like she had zero interest in him on the surface, but now? She was secretly so worried about him and his health that she came all the way to the psychologist.Richard was quietly pleased and decided to stay hidden and listen, then came out later so he could catch Maria in the act.Dr. Wright thought for a moment before speaking. "Actually, the reason Mr. Shaw has had so many episodes of memory loss and confusion is that every time he enters a new phase, his mental state becomes unstable and can't stabilize itself. That's why he is so easily triggered and pushed into the next phase."It was the same thing when he fell into depression last time. His brain simply couldn't handle it, and his subconscious tried to escape again because of the high pressure. It's why he's the way he is now."After his most recent episode, while he still hasn'

Trent finally showed a satisfied smile when Maria relented. "I just want to tell you that Richard ended up like this because he wanted to save you. You can't just ignore him now because of everything he did to let you down in the past. I think that's way too cold. I get that you want him not to recognize you and not to remember who you are. I can understand that. But you can't push it too far, do you get what I mean?"Maria was already sick of hearing it. She narrowed her eyes and stared coldly at Trent."What's with the long story? All you want to say is Richard can't handle any emotional trauma right now and that he got hurt because he came to see me, so I'm supposed to take responsibility, aren't you?"She folded her arms, looking at Trent. "You're really overthinking this. He's the one who insisted on coming to find me. What does that have to do with me? I'm warning you, don't dump everything on me. You only need to remember one thing, and that's not to mention me in front o
