All Chapters of Too Late for Forgiveness: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

The trial concluded.In the end, the judge acquitted the defendant, James Benton, and released him.As for me, as the family member of the party deemed at fault, I was ordered to bear primary responsibility for the accident and compensate James 15,000 for his vehicle repairs.Standing at the court entrance, I looked at Daisy and Caleb in disbelief."Why? You clearly knew he was the one who killed my mom, so why did you help him?" I questioned."I'm sorry. James' mother died in the mountains trying to save me back then. I'm in debt to him." As she spoke, she handed me a bank card. "There's 15,000 in here. Consider it a small compensation from James to you.""Compensation?" I snapped the card in half, threw it at Daisy's face, and roared hysterically, "Daisy, is my mom's life only worth 15,000 to you? She was a real, living human being! "She was my mother! Why should her life be used to repay the debt you owe James?""That's enough!" Daisy snapped, fed up. "We're at the courth

When I regained consciousness, I was lying in my bedroom.My phone was bombarded with anonymous, abusive text messages and threatening phone calls.On top of that, the news of a sixty-year-old woman who had supposedly staged an accident with her grandson to extort money, only to die in the crash, had climbed to second place on the trending search list. Online backlash poured in endlessly.'An old fart like her deserves to die. Why did she have to go and stage an accident to extort money?' one of the netizens commented.'Good riddance! She deserved it! Can't believe she even brought her grandson along to fake an accident. It's a good thing that her grandson has some common sense and knew to testify for the driver. Otherwise, she really would have gotten away with staging the accident!' another comment read.'A scum like her should just disappear from the world!' someone else cursed in the comment section.As I watched the constant stream of insults on my phone, I felt as if my hea

Daisy snatched my mother's urn."I'm saying this for the last time. Apologize to James!" she urged."Daisy, do you even know what you're doing?" I shouted as I desperately reached out to grab the urn back.However, Daisy merely stood on the edge of the cliff with an indifferent look on her face as she held it in mid-air. "Luke, James is where I draw the line, so don't push me.""No! Daisy, please…" I pleaded with tears in my eyes. "Okay… I'll apologize to him…"James pretended to be magnanimous and said that it was no big deal. "Daisy, why don't we just let it slide? Luke probably didn't mean to hurt me.""No. He's the one at fault, so he deserved to be punished," she insisted.I clenched my fists tightly upon hearing those words. At this moment, Daisy, whom I thought knew so well, felt utterly alien to me.'So, she is well aware that those who made mistakes should be punished,' I thought grimly.I tried my best to ignore the burn of humiliation as I turned to James and expres

The next day, Daisy gradually came to in the hospital ward.The nurse dropped by to check her condition. Then, she nodded slightly and said, "You're recovering quite well. Rest well, and you can be discharged soon.""Get me some honey lemon tea," Daisy ordered."This is a hospital, not your home. I'm not your maid. I'm not bringing you some honey lemon tea."The nurse shot Daisy a strange look before leaving.Daisy leaned against the headboard as she recalled the last time she fell sick.At that time, she had been lying in a hospital bed as well. Yet, I was always there keeping vigil whenever she opened her eyes, and there was always a cup of warm honey lemon tea on the bedside table just for her.Moreover, I would carefully prepare her meals every day and bring them to her.She still remembered how she would hold my hand earnestly and say that she was the happiest woman in the world whenever I took care of her when we were still newlyweds.Alas, good times never lasted.
