Regrets Come Too Late のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 221 - チャプター 230

As soon as John finished what he wanted to say to Pamela, he hung up.He didn't give Pamela a chance to say anything else.Bang!Pamela hurled the already shattered phone onto the floor again. This time, the screen popped free and separated from the rest of the phone.The bodyguards outside glanced in from the doorway, but none of them stepped in to pick it up.-Compared to the suffocating atmosphere in the hospital ward, things were much more relaxed between Sierra and Holly."Isn't it just a doctor's visit?" Sierra asked, baffled. "Why is Pamela so terrified? Even if she was pregnant before this and had a miscarriage, or had an abortion, John probably wouldn't care.""We still haven't figured it out for the time being," Holly said."Then why did you agree to her request?" Sierra asked."I promised I wouldn't say anything, and you won't either. That doesn't mean someone else will keep their mouth shut," Holly said.She opened the door into her car and got in before startin

"Solomon!" Norma protested, clearly unhappy. She couldn't understand what was so special about Sierra.Sierra was just another ex-heiress. How did she win John's affection and now even Solomon's protection? John rarely spoke to anyone and kept his distance, even from his own family."See her out," Solomon said to his bodyguards. His tone clearly left no room for argument. "She's not allowed in here again unless I say otherwise.""Understood, sir." The bodyguards acknowledged Solomon's order and moved to escort her out.Norma struggled, but it was useless. She could only turn her anger on Sierra as she was dragged away. A moment later, both her voice and her figure were gone."She's been spoiled since she was little. I'll deal with her later." Solomon looked at Sierra apologetically as he lay against the bedhead. "I'm sorry about today.""It's fine." Sierra truly didn't care that much.Back in her first year married to John, she had run into Norma at a New Year's family dinner.

"Yes, that's all," Sierra said to Solomon in his ward.Solomon tried to catch her in a lie, but there was only sincerity on her face. That only made him more suspicious. "He's together with someone else openly now, and you still trust him?" he asked. "Whether he's with someone else or not has nothing to do with me trusting him," Sierra said, calm as ever."So the divorce is just an act?" Solomon asked again."No," Sierra said.Solomon blinked. Hard.For the first time, he couldn't make sense of someone. He had always thought he understood relationships, but everything Sierra said today overturned what he believed."I'll go along with your plan," Sierra said before he could sort through it, "but I can't promise you'll get what you want. I don't know if John will see through the fact that I'm working with you."Between them, they could get what they want respectively.Solomon paused, then caught what she meant. "Why?""Because I want a divorce," Sierra said. She didn't mind

Lucy stared at the blank screen with a frown. "Huh."Kenneth caught the shift in her expression. "What is it?""The records for Sierra's mom were scrubbed by an extremely skilled hacker," Lucy said.She stopped her fingers on the keyboard, then propped her chin on her hand. She stared at the blank page.For some reason, the blank page felt familiar. It was like she already knew what was coming. Something like a nasty gore image, meant to scare her off.The instant the thought landed, the page flashed, and the exact kind of picture she expected filled the screen."Holy moly!" Kenneth jerked back, staring at the bloody, gruesome image. He rubbed his arms. "Why'd you pull that up out of nowhere?!""It's just a picture." Lucy closed the laptop and stopped the investigation. "Do you really have to be that scared?""And you tell me you weren't scared?" Kenneth's voice trailed off when he realized she hadn't even flinched just now."Hey, where are you going?" he called after her. "

Pamela could feel real fear creeping inside of her as her conversation with John continued."What about you?" John didn't like anyone testing his bottom line repeatedly. "Do you still remember the three rules we set at the beginning?"Pamela fell silent.She had no idea how to answer that question.After a long time, she knew nothing she said would help. She switched tactics. "I'm sorry that I didn't think it through. I promise I won't make the same mistake again.""Your special treatment ends here," John said suddenly. "From now on, the only relationship there's left between us is between the person who saved and the person who was saved."Pamela's pupils dilated, and her eyes opened wide. The words hit her like thunder. "What did you just say...?""I'm John Henderson. I'm not your boyfriend, and definitely not your husband." He had always known certain things she did behind his back, but he had never interfered because of the promise he had made. "I hope you can keep the dis
