Regret Novel 1

“Lottie, are you sure about this? You really want to transfer to Riverspire Medical Center?”

Dean Chase held Charlotte Sterling’s transfer application, looking at her with open surprise.

Charlotte’s lashes trembled as she forced a faint, bittersweet smile. “I’ve made up my mind.”

Seeing she wouldn’t be swayed, Dean Chase let out a resigned sigh and finally signed the transfer papers.

When Charlotte stepped out of the dean’s office, she ran straight into Evander Howard and Tricia Winthrop, both in their white coats, with Tricia’s little boy in tow.

She stopped in her tracks.

For a moment, it looked like a perfect family portrait: Tricia holding her son’s hand, walking beside Evander, the little boy’s other hand wrapped around Evander’s fingers, his face radiant with joy.

The sight stung Charlotte deeply.

Evander’s patience and tenderness with Tricia and her son were things she’d never received.

She knew Evander despised her.

Tricia had been Evander’s first love. Only after Charlotte struck a deal with Grandma Rosemary and finally married Evander did she learn he and Tricia had broken up. To Evander, she was the manipulative woman who’d taken advantage of a broken heart for her own gain.

But he would never know the truth.

Charlotte had met Evander long before Tricia ever did–he just didn’t remember her.
