All Chapters of Too Late for Regret: My Husband and My Son: Chapter 261 - Chapter 268

Julian's POV The call stopped a bit later. I kept standing by the window with my phone still held to my ear even if the screen was already dark.Rain fell even stronger outside, hiding the town behind a veil of fuzzy water. Oddly, listening to Vivienne's voice made the load on my chest seem a bit less heavy.She can still giggle. She can still make fun of Dominic making her eat an apple.Biggest thing, there was still cheer in her sound. That just was enough to soothe some of my uneasy heart.I easily put down my phone. The word wish stayed in my head.It has been a long time since I heard Vivienne talk about the future. Ever since she got told she had a brain tumor, she talked like each day could be her last.Today felt odd. She was still unsure but she didn't turn down the thought of going to Singapore for help.If that care could save her, I would aid in any way I can. The idea came to me with no pause.

Julian's POVI had just opened my bedroom door when my phone started vibrating in my pocket. The sound caught my attention.Maximilian was still sitting in the living room with Anna, the babysitter I had hired a day ago. They were working on a dinosaur puzzle. Laughing every now and then.Seeing him smile made me feel a little better. At least for tonight Maximilian was still able to laugh.I pulled out my phone. One name was on the screen. It made me let out a deep breath.Ophelia.I closed my eyes for a second before I answered the call. My voice sounded calm."Hello.""J-Julian."Ophelia's voice was shaking as she spoke. I could tell she was crying.Her sobs were quiet. They told me she was still really upset. I could hear the pain in every breath she took."What's wrong?"I walked towards the porch so Maximilian w

Vivienne's POV I got up sooner than normal that day. Soft sunlight came through the hospital room drapes, throwing a kind light on the clean white floor.My head felt lighter. The mark still hurt, but the pain was not as sharp as it had been a few days ago.The nurse just finished checking my blood pressure and changing an IV. She smiled kindly before stepping back."You're doing nice work, Mrs. Vivienne." Her kind words made me grinI gave her a grin. "I hope I keep getting better.""I hope so," she gave me one last smile before leaving the room.Quiet came back to the room again. The hush felt sort of nice.My eyes went to the nightstand. My phone was still sitting there.A tiny grin came to my lips. For a reason, Maximilian had been in my thoughts since I opened my eyes.I thought of him getting set for school. He was maybe still tired.May͏be he was choosing which bag to use. Perhaps h

Vivienne's POV Maximilian turned to see him. His eyes were still full of hope, "The doctor still wants Mom to rest.""Oh.""When she's feeling better, we'll go pick her up."Maximilian smiled again, his letdown slowly went away"Okay."He turned back to me. His small face was full of worry."Get better soon, Mom.""I will. I'll do my best."I really would do all I can. Not just for me.I wish to get nicer for a small kid grinning at me from the screen.I wished to hug him once more. I wanted to cook a meal for him.I wanted to put him in bed. I wanted to listen to his many small tales each day.All those plain times I used to ignore now seemed more valuable tha͏n all else.I lifted my hand to the camera. A grin came back to my face."Let's have a long-distance hug."Maximilian lifted both of his arms right away. He held the phone and g
