Lost Me Gained Regret Read Online Novel

I'd seldom seen Gregory display such a raw, unfiltered emotion.

He seemed on the verge of breaking.

"What if Mr. Abdul and Dr. Andrews both said I should avoid any shocks, would you still tell me the truth?" he asked. Gregory hated lying, but sometimes, he felt he had no choice.

His grandmother meant the world to him.

And the explosion, caused by Mark, was undeniably a result of their own actions, when you got down to it.

His grandmother was innocent in all this.

From the Myers family feud to Mark's vendetta, she had endured so much.

Never before had Gregory been so... cautious.

"I want to be honest with you, but you... I know, emotions can be uncontrollable at times, but you can't let yourself get too worked up," he said, his voice tender yet firm. Hearing Gregory's words, my heart started sinking.

Considering the nightmare I had just woken from, a dreadful premonition washed over me.

It was an outcome I dared not even consider, one I couldn't possibly accept.

"No, don't tell me she's..."

Impossible.

I denied it internally.

Grandma was so good, so resilient. She deserved to live a peaceful life after all she'd been through.

But my tears betrayed me, streaming down uncontrollably.

"Jane..."

Gregory reached out to wipe my tears, but I grabbed his hand, desperate for some reassurance. "Tell me she's just injured, that she's recovering in the hospital, waiting for me to visit, right?" Gregory felt as if his heart had been hollowed out.

Each breath he took seemed to fill the void with pain.

"Jane, some things... accidents happen that are beyond our control."

"It can be okay..."

I choked on my tears, "It has to be, Gregory. You've always managed things before, right?"

Gregory wished he could control everything.

If it were within his power, he would never let his grandmother be taken by such a tragedy. "Jane, just cry... let it all out."

"Once you're tired, go to sleep. When you wake up, I'll take you to see Grandma."

To say our final goodbyes.

I collapsed at that moment.

Gregory hadn't spelled it out, but I understood.

But how could I not be shocked?

Because Grandma was...

"Why..."

I couldn't accept it, couldn't comprehend it.

I wanted to be calm, for the little one growing inside me.

I couldn't afford to lose another family member, someone else tied to me by blood.

But I couldn't control it.

Just the thought of Grandma leaving me forever made it hard to breathe. "Jane."

Gregory let my tears fall, not wiping them away this time, but helping me breathe.

"Tell me why this had to happen..."

inconsolable grief, tears silently streaming down her face as well.

Suddenly, a hand with distinct knuckles appeared in front of her, holding a tissue.

She didn't take it, turning away instead.

Christine slapped away his hand, "I just want to let my tears fall. I don't want to wipe them away."

Dailey knew how close she was to Jane and didn't press further.

He simply placed the tissue in her hand.

Instead, Christine threw it away and went back into the adjacent room, leaving Dailey in silent contemplation.
