Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Chapter 476

Herbert stared blankly into Vince's anxious eyes, blurting out, "Left side of her

Vince's reply was hoarse, "It's not your fault. I should have known."

bring her back."

her go somewhere he might never see her again.

He couldn't use Jessica's life as a gamble just to patch up a marriage that was

already beyond repair.
