Drowning Him In Regret novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59 Humiliation

I felt a stream of cold liquid flowing into the vein in my right hand, and the familiar smell of disinfectant filled my nose. I instantly knew I was in the hospital.

Maybe it was all the stress from Casey’s situation, but my health had gotten worse. I’d get nosebleeds for no reason and faint without warning.

No wonder the doctor insisted I always have someone with me. Without Casey, I right have died without anyone noticing.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Casey sleeping beside me. I struggled to reach for a bottle of water, but a large hand quickly unscrewed the cap and handed it to me.

Dorian said, “You’re awake? Do you feel unwell anywhere?”

His big hand rested on my forehead, and the warmth from his palm made even the dizziness feel a little better.

I took a big gulp of water and finally felt a bit more alive.

Casey suddenly jerked awake, her hair a complete mess. “Ada, why did you faint again? Haven’t you been eating properly lately?”

Her voice was so hoarse it was about to sound like an old man’s. I quickly stopped her from speaking.

“Alright, if you keep talking, you’ll be the one needing an ENT doctor next. I’m fine. And besides, you know about the chemo.. “I suddenly stopped mid–sentence, eyes widening as I looked at Casey.

Dorian was still here. I shouldn’t mention my illness in front of him.

Casey smiled awkwardly. “He called when you fainted, and I panicked… Anyway, he knows.”

She lowered her head like a kid waiting to be scolded.

I slowly turned to look at Dorian. His eyes were filled with sympathy, and something like pain.

He said, “Why didn’t you tell me? No wonder you kept getting nosebleeds and fainting. Ada, do you still see me as a friend?”

I didn’t know how to respond. The room fell into a heavy silence.

Thankfully, the doctor came in just then, going over a few precautionary measures with me.

He gave me a once–over and shook his head. “I’ve said it before. You’re underweight. You need to get proper nutrition.”

He continued, “I know it’s hard to eat sometimes, but you still have to try. You need to prepare for your next round of chemo,

understand?”

I nodded lightly. But deep down, I knew I really couldn’t eat.

Dorian grabbed the doctor and asked anxiously, “Is the fainting caused by the chemo?”

The doctor frowned at him, then nodded.

The doctor said, “Your wife even went through surgery alone. No matter how busy you are, you should still take care of your family, understand?”

Realizing the doctor misunderstood, Dorian didn’t bother correcting him. He just nodded repeatedly.

Then he turned to me. “He doesn’t know?”

I nodded. There was no point in explaining.

Dorian didn’t ask further. He just helped me get discharged and drove us home.

Before leaving, he reminded me over and over to contact him right away if anything happened and made sure I had his number set as an emergency contact. Only then did he leave.

Casey looked at his departing figure and sighed a little.

She said, “You know, if you’d ended up with Dorian back in the day…”

“Impossible.” I denied it flatly. There was no way I could’ve ended up with him.

Back then, I loved Jude so much. I didn’t think I would love anyone else. But now, everything had changed.

That afternoon, the HR department called Casey, asking when she could start.

She looked at me, and I took the phone and told them we’d be there right away.

This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later. After all, Jude might backtrack. That man has absolutely zero credibility now.

When we arrived at the company, I took Casey straight to Jude.

He didn’t look surprised at all that we accepted the settlement.

He said, “If you agreed to settle, why didn’t you answer my calls? You did it on purpose, didn’t you? You wanted Vivian to suffer in the police station. Ada, I never thought you’d be so cruelt

His voice was hoarse, and there were dark circles under his eyes. It looked like he hadn’t slept all night.
