All Chapters of A Regret too Late: Chapter 551 - Chapter 560

Richard pressed his lips, a strange glint flickering in his eyes. After a long silence, he finally looked up and met Maria's eyes. "If I can change, will you still be willing to talk to me?"Maria raised her eyebrow. "Maybe I will, maybe I won't. Regardless, I don't want to talk to you at all right now."When she finished, she left without looking back, leaving Richard sitting there alone with a deeply conflicted expression.There were faint sounds outside the door after a while, and Trent walked in. He wasn't sure what to say for a moment when he saw Richard. He clearly already knew what Maria had said. "Hurts, doesn't it?"Richard lowered his gaze and nodded slowly.Trent slipped his hands into his pockets and hesitated before saying, "I don't really know what to say. All I can tell you is this isn't Maria's fault. It's yours. You shouldn't have run off to fight Melvin on your own without a word. She threw those harsh words at you because she was worried about you. Don't take

"Well... I didn't think there was any need to tell you. I never asked Richard to attack anyone. He insisted on doing it himself. He's doing this just to try to win me back. Why should I bother with him?" Maria said.Her tone was faint and lazy, as if Richard's actions neither moved her nor warmed her in the slightest.Willow watched her for a few seconds, then looked away with a faint, knowing smile. "For some reason, I feel like you're nowhere near as calm on the inside as you look on the surface."Maria blinked. "Really? I feel completely calm.""Something's off." Willow waved his hand and gave her a meaningful look. "Forget it, I don't feel like lecturing you. Just remember this. No matter what happens, I'll always have your back. If anyone hurts you, just tell me about it. I'll take care of it.""Okay. I know you're the one who cares about me the most," Maria said. She forced a smile, but the weight on her mind still showed.After that, Willow no longer felt like joking with

Cameron stopped in front of Maria before pulling her into a brief hug. "Long time no see. How have you been lately?"Maria was surprised when she saw no displeasure or resentment in his eyes. She hadn't expected him to react like this.She relaxed and smiled. "I'm doing well. What about you?""I'm alright, too. No matter what the others have been saying, I've always worried about you. Nothing really matters more to me than you doing well."Cameron's gaze burned with passion and concern for her.Maria couldn't deny she was moved. She had never imagined that Cameron could still talk to her like this after she had dumped him out of the blue.Her chest felt much less heavy.She knew what she had done had definitely hurt him, but she had no other choice.She didn't want to do it. She didn't want to be cruel to him.But… She simply didn't want anyone else dragged into her fight against Eleanor.As Maria was thinking about all this, she suddenly noticed an uninvited guest. She narro

Maria thought Melvin was finally scared after she yelled out her threats, but Melvin simply laughed. "Do you really think I'll do anything to you here? Anyone can walk in here at any time. I'm not stupid enough to get into trouble here. I'm just curious about you. Those who take this drug have to sleep with a man. Otherwise, it'll damage their body and nervous system."On top of that, you might never be able to have children again. The toxins in it can cause all kinds of complications. Your brain tumor has already been removed, right? From what I understand, your body can't handle any more stress. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do tonight and how you plan to walk out of this party."Melvin looked at her for a moment before walking away.After he disappeared, Maria pressed her lips together. Shock and despair flickered in her eyes.No! She couldn't let him scare her like this. If there was a drug, then there had to be an antidote. She had to find a solution herself!

Willow heard Maria's moan from inside and rushed in. He held Maria's hands and pinned them down, his voice choked. "Mari, stop! Don't hurt yourself!"Cameron came in after him, his gaze steady. "Willow, wake up! Right now, no one but Richard can even get close to her. Are you really going to just watch this drug ruin her? Her body can't take that kind of damage."Willow was quiet for a moment, holding his sister as she struggled in pain. For the first time, the man who was always decisive in the world of business felt completely helpless.Cameron looked at him and knew he had to be the one to make the hard choice.He took out his phone, found the number, and drew in a deep breath before dialing. The call was picked up almost at once. Richard's voice came through wary and cold. "Cameron? Why are you calling me?"Cameron closed his eyes for a moment, forced every bit of heartbreak and unwillingness back down, and spoke as evenly as he could. "City Central Hospital, emergency r
