Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 120

Indeed, Sidney didn't sleep a wink that night.

When he got up the next morning, dark circles ringed his eyes, and he felt completely out of it the whole drive to the hospital. He didn't fully snap back to reality until he sat at his desk, only to look up and see Alice walking in.

She still had that smug, entitled look on her face as she eyed him like he was a nobody.

"Didn't I tell you to quit already?"

Sidney flinched and stepped back, his lips trembling. "Ms. Lambert, I got dragged into this. You can't just use me and throw me out. We live in a lawful society."

Disgust flickered in her eyes. Sidney talked too much.

"Dr. Tanner, the money's already in your hands. It's too late to back out now. You can't afford the consequences of crossing me, so you'd better do exactly as I say. Or else..."

The threat was clear as day.

After she left, Sidney slumped into his chair, drenched in sweat. He couldn't shake the fear that someone might try to run him off the road again. He had gotten lucky once, but would he be that lucky a second time?

He couldn't die. He had to stay alive.

Just then, he heard that familiar voice from last night-Grace.

She was standing outside Alice's ward.
