Timothy already knew Sheila wouldn't agree easily.
“I failed her in so many ways during our seven years of marriage,” he said, his voice low. “Right now, you’re the only one who can save her. As long as you’re willing to save her, I’ll agree to any condition you name.”
Those were the words Sheila had been waiting for.
She had come to understand that the chances of Timothy choosing her were slim to none. If Jessica died now, when he was at his most guilt-ridden, she would forever remain in his heart. Even with Jessica gone, if Timothy didn't want to marry her, he wouldn't.
But here was a chance to make him marry her.
“You’ll really agree to any condition?”
“Yes.”
“You know there’s only one thing I’ve ever wanted from you. Nothing else. Will you give it to me?” Sheila asked, looking into his deep eyes, both wanting and dreading his answer.
“Yes,” Timothy replied without a shred of hesitation. Jessica’s life couldn't afford his doubt.
The single word shattered Sheila’s heart. He would truly do anything for Jessica. She was getting what she had always wanted, so why did she feel no joy at all? She started to laugh, but the laughter soon turned to tears.
He was willing to marry her, but in doing so, he had given her another, more painful truth: he loved Jessica. Seven years. Their seven years together had cost her him completely.
“Sheila? Will you do it? I’ll agree to any demand you make. Just… donate your liver to Jessica.”
“Then marry me,” she said, her voice trembling. “I don’t want to marry anyone else. I’ve only ever wanted to marry you. If you marry me, I’ll save her.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Goodbye, Mr. Regret
Dear autho, What happened to this novel? At least continue until the part where Jessica finds her peaceful life with her newly found family. And her ex husband dies in regret....
Just let Jessica divorce that scumbag so she can begin anew. Gosh! All that nonsense with that guy was so unnecessary....
Finally someone teaching Henry a lesson...
Any new updates. Please please let Jessica finally have a new life with her long lost family...
Wow .... finally!...
The plot of this novel is like an elevator. Its up then down, then up to be back to down again after. Same story. No interesting twists, always the same... naive Jessica, villain Timothy, so when can we have a refresher?...
