Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Chapter 1
As soon as she closed the car door, the world's noise vanished.
Jessica Greene stared at the liver cancer diagnosis in her lap, her hazel eyes rimmed red. The paper trembled in her hands, crumpling beneath her grip.
The doctor had told her she'd missed the window for surgery-six months left, at best.

Lawson had told her she should come.
Seven years had passed since the day Timothy, once the untouchable darling of high society, became her husband.
