Regrets Come Too Late (Sierra and Johnny) novel Chapter 540

“Whatever. Sierra was at fault too!” Kenneth could not win the argument with Robin, so he started being unreasonable.

“You should go back and get some rest,” Robin suggested to him. “I’ll stay here with Mr. Henderson. I’ll give you a call the second he wakes up.”

“It’s fine.” Kenneth refused. “I’m staying here with him.”

John’s wife wasn’t here. His best friend could not abandon him like that, either.

Seeing that Kenneth would not budge, Robin said nothing else. When he saw John was still unconscious, he sent Sierra a message.

[Ms. Bell, you don’t need to worry too much. Mr. Henderson has only collapsed from exhaustion because he didn’t have enough rest. It isn’t as serious as Mr. Gomez made it sound.]

Sierra replied almost at once. [Okay.]

Robin sent another message. [Please rest soon.J

Sierra bit her now pale lip as she looked at that sentence that was still as respectful and polite as it had always been over the past five years.

Her fingers typed a few more words. [Why did he fall unconscious?]

During the five years of their marriage, John had always been in excellent health. The report for his health checkup had all come back normal. Even when work got busy and he had to stay up late every now and then, it never caused any real problems,

The words “falling unconscious” did not fit him at all.

The moment she finished typing the sentence, she deleted it and sent something else instead.

[You too.]

Robin had mixed feelings about this. Sierra could have typed those two words in three seconds, but she had taken almost twenty.

If that meant nothing, he would shove his phone into his mouth!

“Miss.”

Marcus used that title whenever no one else was around. In public, he always called her Ms. Bell.

“Are you going to the airport? If you are, I’ll book the ticket now.”

“No need,” Sierra said.

Marcus looked at her and stated the obvious. “Your eyes say otherwise.”

Sierra fell silent.

Marcus then added, “Let me know if you need the air ticket. I’m ready to go to Jade City on business at any time.”

After work that day, Sierra wasn’t doing well.

She had thought that once the first project was secured, she would finally get a good night’s sleep and make up for

all the late nights and exhaustion from the past month.

Instead, she got insomnia.

Her mind was still clear even at two or three in the morning.

She did not get out of bed until a little after seven early the next morning.

When she came downstairs, Anna, who had just finished her morning exercise, noticed something was off.” Couldn’t sleep last night?”

“A little.” Sierra admitted it openly.

She had been losing sleep over the project lately. She had also been eating badly and was even forced to drink a little during the second half of the dinner gatherings.

Her mother already knew all of that. Trying to hide it would only make it easier for her to tell something was

wrong.

“What happened?” Anna asked.

務

“Nothing serious.” Sierra walked over to the table and poured herself a glass of water. “I was just thinking about how to get the second project.”

The first one had already taken so much effort, so the second would probably be even harder.

So far, everything was still moving through normal channels. Charlie and the others had not interfered yet. Once they started making moves, the difficulty would probably multiply several times over.

Sierra needed to come up with a solid plan in advance.
