Goodbye, Mr. Regret
Chapter 27
Too bad-she only caught air.
The necklace box slipped from her grasp, tumbling to the ground and striking the edge of a stone trough nearby.
The necklace popped out of its case, bouncing once before landing inside the trough.
Her childhood home was a cozy little courtyard house. Right inside the front door, beneath the eaves, sat a long stone basin where her grandmother used to plant pennywort. Kept under the overhang, the trough would fill with rainwater on stormy days, and even though Jessica rarely visited over the years, the pennywort still thrived, lush and green.

She only had six months left. There was no way she could travel to Zurich for treatment for her aphasia.

"I'd remind you, you're still Mrs. Lawson. How could you so casually accept jewelry from another man?"
Jessica wanted to say she was done being Mrs. Lawson. But no sound came from her throat, not even a whisper.
Timothy seized her wrist and dragged her outside, shoving her into the car. He yanked the seatbelt across her and snapped it into place.
Finally, her hands were free. She signed frantically, "Timothy, what are you doing? You never cared about anything I did before."
