Regret Came Too Late

Liam sat by the bed, wanting to raise his hand to stroke her head, but his hand paused in mid-air due to uncertainty.

Andrea did not notice his movements and just kept crying while clutching her head.

Liam opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. At this moment, he felt like a bastard. He turned away and went out, smoking two cigarettes in the hospital's smoking area. As he looked at the people passing by, he felt that the world was so surreal.

Then, his phone rang. It was Grace.

"Liam, I just dropped off a gift at your place. The maids said you weren't around, but since it's your birthday today, I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday."

The gift had been chosen by her and Joanne. It should suit his tastes. She had gone shopping with Joanne in the evening as she had not wanted to spend Christmas Eve alone.

Liam stubbed the cigarette in his hand. He didn't usually smoke, so he found it bitter. Taking a deep breath, he went downstairs, about to go home.
