All Chapters of A Regret too Late: Chapter 541 - Chapter 550

The doctor panicked. He looked away at once, pretending not to see Maria. With his head down and his medical bag in hand, he tried to hurry past her.Maria folded her arms and called out in a lazy tone, "Is your eyesight that bad, or are you ignoring me on purpose? You really didn't see me when I'm standing right here?"The doctor knew he was done for. He stopped, turned back, and forced a flattering smile. "What a coincidence, Ms. Brooks. I didn't expect you to be here. I thought you would have already driven off by now."Maria only smiled faintly when she heard he wanted to weasel out of this and didn't bother arguing. She walked over and looked at him with a coldness he had never seen from her before."I happen to be feeling a little unwell. I want you to come to my place and take a look. Don't worry, I'll pay you very well. Get in the car."When she finished, Maria pulled open the car door and motioned for him to get in.A few burly men appeared from nowhere and surrounded

By the time Maria reached the neurologist's door, it was already too late to turn around. The doctor's assistant stepped out and said, "Ms. Brooks, right? Please come in."At the sound of the assistant's voice, Maria regained her thoughts. She took in a deep breath and stepped inside.The specialist was standing behind his desk, putting away some files. When he saw her, he smiled. "I just got off the phone with your brother, Ms. Brooks. He insisted I make time today to see you for a follow-up. Where are your medical records and test results? Let me take a look."Maria pressed her lips, suddenly unsure what to say.She hadn't prepared any records at all. Coming here had been a spur-of-the-moment decision. She had come only because of one thing, which was…She looked at the specialist and said solemnly, "I already did a follow-up somewhere else. Everything looks fine, so there's no need for you to check me again."The specialist was taken aback and hesitated. "Then why did you come

Craniotomy.Just hearing the word sent a chill through both Trent and Maria.Trent looked up at Maria across from where he was sitting. He realized she looked so thin and frail. "Back then... The reason you survived… Was it because you had a craniotomy?"Maria hadn't expected him to ask that, but she gathered herself and gave a cool nod. "Yes. Why did you ask me that suddenly? The doctor who operated on me is a very skilled specialist, but my situation was easier to handle than Richard's. The tumor in my brain was huge, so they could take it out in one go. His condition is different. We're talking about a very tiny blood clot."Trent shrugged and said softly, "No, you misunderstood. I wasn't asking about that. I just think what you went through was not easy at all. You went for a cranial surgery under that kind of mental pressure. Your recovery afterward was quite brutal, too. Thinking about it now, I can finally understand why you just couldn't forgive Richard back then. To say

Maria left without a second thought.Just like Trent had said, spending even one more second on a man like Melvin felt like it would shorten her life.Maria hit the gas and pulled away from the cafe.Trent was fuming too. The more he thought about it, the more worked up he became. By the time he stormed back to Shaw Group, he was trying his best to calm down his anger, but Richard still saw right through him.Richard lifted an eyebrow. "What's with you? Did something happen out there? What's with the bad mood?"Trent looked up into those striking eyes at the sound of Richard's voice and went blank for a moment. He still remembered how Richard had been the center of attention and surrounded by admiration ever since they were kids. In high school, especially, Richard's eyes had made half the girls at school fall for him.Now, he was on the verge of losing his sight. Soon, the light in his eyes would never shine the same way again."Why are you looking at me like that?" Richard f

The room fell silent.Maria looked at Richard’s bruised face and bandaged skin. For a moment, it was difficult for her to breathe. She knew her words had struck a nerve and hurt him badly, but she couldn't stop herself.From the very beginning, Richard had been pushing in on her. She hated it. It was as if her real thoughts and feelings had never mattered enough to be respected.Back when they were married, there had been problems at every turn. The marriage certificate had been fake. He had never told her the truth and just kept hiding everything. He was convinced that if he dragged things out long enough, they would one day fix it.In the end, she had almost died.Later, when she had barely clawed her way back to life, he tried to win her over with what he thought were grand, touching gestures. He didn't care about his own life and dragged other people into the mess.And now, he still charged off into a fight even when he was going to go blind soon. He never thought about how
