Alle Kapitel von Regrets Come Too Late: Kapitel 551 – Kapitel 560

John did not like it when others showed him pity or sympathy. He did not want anyone treating him differently because of what he had been through. If he found out Kenneth had told her about his past, and that was the reason why she stayed, he would definitely pull away from her and treat her coldly.But… So what?Sierra did not care how he felt he had toward her. She could handle anything else, as long as he didn't hold onto her or make choices for her without asking first like he used to.She had come because of the five years' worth of good memories and because he was Tommy's father. It was also true that she had stayed because she felt bad for what he had been through, but feeling bad for his past did not mean she would succumb into it again.As long as there was no love, none of his emotions could affect her."You're right," Marcus said. Seeing that she truly did not care, he said nothing more.That afternoon, Sierra had Marcus bring her laptop. She sat by John's bedside an

"Yes," John did not hide it when Sierra questioned him about his recent health issues."Why?" Sierra asked."Because I missed you, but I couldn't see you." John told her the truth without hesitation. His dark eyes were full of complicated emotions. "The stress got worse because of how emotional I became to the point it started affecting my physical health."Sierra did not expect him to be so direct.In the past, he would always keep it from her whenever something happened. On the one hand, he did not want her to worry. On the other hand, he wanted her focused on loving him, not distracted by anything else.This was the first time he had spoken so openly about what he was thinking."But you don't need to worry about me. I'll work hard to adjust." John's tone stayed firm. "I won't let anything happen to me."Sierra looked at him a few times. "Is this the result of your adjustment?"John fell silent.Meanwhile, Robin and Kenneth were eavesdropping outside the door."I thought he

Sierra was still thinking about the test as John went on, "It's not just Maxwell. Loren and Joey are also part of the King family too. Do you really think people in Harbor City wouldn't know that?"They would.Sierra had the answer almost at once."On the surface, it looked like they each finished their assignments on their own. But behind the scenes, someone was always helping them." John had grown up in that circle and had seen far more than most people. "You're the only real commoner there."A lot of people had known about that party back then, but not the people outside of that circle. Not to mention Sierra had grown up in Jade City. Harbor City was always going to be a foreign city to her."That's only your opinion." Sierra had already believed him, but she had not fully sorted it all through it yet."The northwest of Jade City is going to be the next major development zone." John gave her an example. "Hospitals, housing, schools, amusement parks, malls, and tourist sites wi

Kenneth gave Robin a look. What was that supposed to mean? Was being his assistant something that embarrassing?"Three seconds left," John reminded Robin."Just a second," Robin said at once. "I'll go get the laptop."One minute later, Robin opened the laptop and set it on the tray table by the bed. Then he explained, "This covers everything that happened after Ms. Bell divorced you. It's a detailed account of how they treated her."John clicked through the folders. Everything in them was about Sierra's work and her conflicts with the King family. There was nothing about her private life. Robin had kept proper boundaries."This is just the overview." Robin had not expected John to read it now. He had prepared these records in case John ever wanted to look into things himself later, so he could report directly. "If there's anything you want clarified, you can ask me."John opened the first file. It listed how many dinner meetings and dinner parties Sierra had attended that mon

"Call the doctor for me," John said to Kenneth as he lay back down on the bed. No one knew what he was thinking.Kenneth went at once.Before long, Dr. Jackson, John's attending physician, arrived. He wore a white coat, and his gentle expression made him look kind and mild.He walked to the bedside and asked, "Mr. Gomez said you were asking for me?""How long until I can be discharged?" John asked."At least a week." Dr. Jackson was in his thirties, and his medical skills were top notch. "If you want to fully recover, that depends on how well you cooperate.""Got it." John kept his emotions in check.Kenneth waited outside the room. When Dr. Jackson came out, he immediately glanced inside and asked, "How is it?""He only asked how long until he can be discharged," Dr. Jackson replied."You didn't take the chance to persuade him to get psychological treatment?" Kenneth had always cared deeply about that. Back then, it was because of what had happened in John's youth. Now, it
