Regrets Come Too Late のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 351 - チャプター 360

"How's the investigation into what happened to Tommy?" Sierra asked, pulling her hand out of John's.Two days ago, Tommy had heard his friends talking about how much fun Summer Camp was. He told them he wanted to go back, so John sent him back.They had agreed he would find out the truth within three days. Several days had passed, and John still hadn't said a word."Apparently, it was just something between the children. A boy became jealous when he saw Tommy was so popular and that he kept coming in first in every activity," John said slowly."How did he know what Tommy is allergic to?" Sierra pressed.The teacher had said Tommy got hurt because someone put something he was allergic to in his cup. To do that, he had to know about the allergy. Each child had a list of notes in the teacher's hands."Someone at school tried to give Tommy snacks once. When he turned them down, he mentioned what he was allergic to," John explained calmly. "That boy remembered."Sierra still felt som

Sierra stayed with her mother the whole time. Even though Dr. Smith told her Anna wouldn't fall into a coma again, she still felt uneasy."Why are you crying when this is such a happy moment?" Jubilee came over and nudged Sierra with an elbow. She looked much calmer than Sierra.Sierra kept her eyes on the closed exam room door, all kinds of emotions churning inside of her. "These are tears of joy.""Not tears of joy," Jubilee said.Sierra glanced at her.Jubilee smiled. "This is you getting back what you lost."Sierra turned back to the door, as if she could see straight through it and see what was happening inside. She knew Jubilee was right. She was getting back what she had lost.After a long while, Sierra turned to John, who had stayed beside her the whole time. "You should head back later. I'm staying at the hospital with my mom tonight.""It's alright. I'll stay with you," John said."You don't need to," Sierra answered.John didn't argue, but his attitude alone made i

Jubilee gritted her teeth and looked at Sierra. "Then why didn't you say so earlier? You made me worry for so long!""You never asked," Sierra said."You have the same talent for getting on my nerves as your mother," Jubilee complained to Anna. "I don't care. You two owe me compensation for emotional distress.""Thank you," Anna said from the heart."Get lost," Jubilee replied in her usual tone. "Don't try to make me feel awkward."Anna smiled. She was just the same as before.Sierra held her mother's arm, somewhat clingy. "Mom, can I sleep with you tonight?"Anna patted her head and answered as smoothly as she could, "Of course."Sierra's heart softened at once, and the tightness in her chest finally eased."You must have it hard these days," Anna reached out and brushed the hair off Sierra's forehead. Her touch was gentle and full of affection, though she still couldn't speak that smoothly. "When I recover, I'll take you away."Sierra froze. She slowly straightened and look

"I'm thinking about what to do about the divorce." Sierra didn't hide it from Anna. Right now, she was just a child with an adult to lean on. "The divorce application is going to be withdrawn automatically soon. If we don't get it finalized and get the certificate before that, we'll have to submit a new application."Given the way John was now, he definitely wouldn't file the application with her again. Even if he did, another month was enough time for all kinds of changes."Divorce application, automatic withdrawal?" For the first time, those words sounded strange to Anna. She had always thought you just brought the right documents and got them done.Sierra was about to explain it to Anna when she suddenly remembered that when her mother fell into a coma, the law about the waiting period still hadn't taken effect as it was something new. She briefly went over the current marriage regulations, then carefully explained what the cooling-off period was.By the time she finishe

Sierra answered John almost robotically. "She's fine. About as well as us, now."Anna had no trouble with normal conversations, but she probably couldn't yell or scream yet."Sierra." John lowered his voice when he said her name.She turned to look at him. "What is it?"He met her eyes, asking even though he already knew what the answer should be. "Now that your mom is awake, have you thought about taking her and Tommy and leaving?"If she answered honestly, he could sit down and talk it through with her.If she lied, then she couldn't blame him for not caring about what she felt."Why are you suddenly asking that?" Sierra didn't answer him head-on."Just answer me first." John wasn't someone whose attention could be shifted unless he allowed it."For now, no." Sierra didn't know why he was asking, so she could only tell him a half-truth. "But if you treat me badly, if you don't stick to what you promised me, then my answer will be different."What she called treating her wel
