All Chapters of Too Late for Regret: My Husband and My Son: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Vivienne's POV "He wept when a doctor said the operation was needed."I swallowed hard.Hearing that pain much more than the ache in my head."I do not want him to face a thing like this""Neither do I."Julian gazed at Maximilian for a sec before looking back at me.The exhaustion on his face was impossible to miss."He kept asking if you were going to be okay."I lowered my eyes briefly."What did you tell him?""I told him you're strong."A faint smile appeared on my lips."I don't feel strong.""Vivienne."Julian's voice turned serious.His gaze left me no room to escape."You're much stronger than you think."I chuckled low to mask the feeling growing within me.The movement made my head throb again.I stopped immediately before Julian noticed."You've always been good at exaggerating."

Julian's POV"You need to go too.""I know."The truth was that I was not ready to leave.Vivienne took my hand in hers."Work hard."I gave her a smile."You sound more like my boss than my secretary.""That's because your secretary is not brave enough to tell you what to do."I chuckled softly.There was silence between us again. For a moment I just stared at Vivienne's face.I remembered the night Vivienne had nearly lost consciousness. I remembered the doctor telling me Vivienne could have died.I remembered the fear that had almost destroyed me. Without realizing it I tightened my grip on Vivienne's hand."We will come back this weekend."Vivienne nodded."I will be waiting.""I am serious.""So am I."I let out a breath. Then I leaned down. Pressed a gentle kiss to Vivienne's forehead.Vivienne's eyes closed

Julian's POVThe color just disappeared from her face. She looked speechless.I stood there feeling really tired.A question came to my mind. Did I still recognize the woman standing in front of me?I rubbed my face slowly. The room felt all of a sudden. The smell of alcohol was making my headache worse.After being in the hospital for days with all the beeping machines and the smell of disinfectant coming to this was like a slap in the face.Ophelia was sitting on the edge of the bed. Her face looked really worn out. Her hair was a mess. Her eyes were red from crying and not sleeping.I did not feel sorry for her. I just felt tired. A deep tiredness that made me not even want to be angry."What are you doing in my house?" I finally asked her.Ophelia blinked a few times."I-""I am asking what you are doing here." My voice was not loud. It sounded cold."I have a k

Vivienne's POV I stared out the window.The afternoon sky outside was sunny. The sun light bounced off the sea seen in the far, making a pretty calming shine.But somehow, the room felt much more silent than it did in the last few days. Julian and Maximilian had just gone a few hours ago.It was just for a few hours. Yet, it seemed like many days. I gave a small smile, moving my head side to side.Maybe I had just become too used to seeing them after the surgery.Every time I opened my eyes, Maximilian was sitting by a bed, chatting about little things.Each time I woke up at night Julian would quickly ask if I felt ill, queasy or needed something.Sometimes I'd get annoyed by their over-concern.But now, when the room was calm again with just the sound of an air cooler and nurses footfalls in the hallway.I missed Maximilian's voice, the way Jude said my name, and the warmth they brought in this r

Vivienne's POV I was still holding Dominic's hand when he said a thing I didn't expect."I want to take you abroad for treatment."I blinked slowly."Huh?"͏Dominic sat up straighter in his chair."We're going to Singapore."I looked at him for a bit. I thought I'd heard wrong."Singapore?""Yeah."I shook my head slightly."Dominic, the doctors here are good too.""I know.""And I've had surgery.""I know.""So whY?""Because I don't want to give up."That sentence made me pause.Dominic looked me straight in the eye.It was the gaze he always had when he'd picked a big choice."I've been researching."I frowned."When?""Since I found out you were hospitalized."My chest felt warm and guilty.How many nights had Dominic looked for info while I hadn't even said wha
