Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Genre: Romance, Tragedy, Marriage, Betrayal, Strong Female Lead

Jessica Greene, once deeply in love, is now a woman quietly preparing for the end. Diagnosed with terminal liver cancer, she has only six months left to live. Though her marriage to Timothy Lawson—the cold, charismatic darling of high society—has lasted seven years, it's long been devoid of affection.

Jessica has lost more than love. Due to a traumatic past, she no longer has a voice—literally. Now mute, she communicates through writing, having grown used to being ignored, pitied, and misunderstood.

One day, Timothy unexpectedly invites her to attend their son Henry’s school parent-child event—something he’s never done in all their years together. Jessica, despite planning to leave him quietly, decides to go—for Henry, not Timothy.

But at the school, she is denied entry. The guard informs her that Henry’s parents have already signed in. Jessica is shocked to see another woman’s name—Sheila Howard—written beside Timothy’s in the sign-in book.

Her worst suspicions are confirmed. Not only is Timothy having an affair, but he’s also now shamelessly presenting Sheila as Henry’s mother.

When Jessica later sees photos and videos from the event, her heartbreak deepens. Her son beams with joy, his ankles tied to both Timothy’s and Sheila’s in a three-legged race. Timothy, usually so distant, smiles softly. When Sheila stumbles, he catches her with unmistakable care.

Jessica realizes she no longer has a place in the life she once cherished.

Rejected by law firms afraid to go against Timothy's influence, Jessica resigns herself to a quiet departure from both her marriage and the world. Her final months are not about revenge, but about dignity, peace—and most importantly, making sure Henry remembers her with love.
