Goodbye, Mr. Regret
Chapter 46
"Mabel, thank you for always caring about me. It's just... this family doesn't need me anymore."
Mabel stared at the message glowing on her phone screen, her heart sinking. Mrs. Carter must have overheard what young Henry said earlier.
She hurried to reply, "Please, Mrs. Carter, don't overthink it."
A bitter, weary smile tugged at the corners of Jessica's lips.
It wasn't just in her head. She really had seen it all with her own eyes.
"Oh, that's right!" Mabel suddenly remembered what happened after Henry came home from school. She quickly added, "Mrs. Carter, you're still very important to Henry. When he got back from school today and saw what you brought home, he realized it was a ring—a ring Mr. Carter bought especially for you at the Oakwood charity auction. It was his way of showing he cares. Henry was afraid if you returned it, Mr. Carter would be upset, so he asked me to help him keep it a secret from his dad."
Mabel hoped this might persuade Jessica to stay.
Jessica looked at her, uncertain.
Mabel pressed on, "He's trying to protect you. Henry just had a fever, and when he needed someone, he called for you. Kids are so vulnerable when they're sick. He waited and waited, and when you didn't come, he might have said things he didn't mean. Please, don't take it to heart."
