Too Late for Regrets Chapter 26
A mix of helplessness and bitterness appeared on Joseph's wizened face. He took out a cigarette and lit it up before inhaling deeply.Timothy's expression changed slightly. He knew that Joseph only smoked when he encountered something difficult or painful.After taking a drag of his cigarette, Joseph said slowly, "Timothy, you have to promise me something.""Go on, Dad."Flicking the ashes off the cigarette butt, Joseph continued with a pained expression, "We're from the bottom rung of society. Your mom and I have nothing to show for our lives. You and Tiana have suffered because of that, too."Now that you're back, all we want is for the four of us to live a peaceful, happy life together. We don't want any more trouble. I hope you can understand that. "Lormford City may be a big place, but not many places can truly be home to our family. Your mom and I both don't want to see anything else happening to either you or Tiana."Finally, Joseph shared the painful past."After hitti

Sensing that something was off about Timothy's emotional state, Joseph said softly, "Timothy, you have to promise me that you'll just leave all of this in the past. Let's never bring it up again. Since the driver had someone who could do all of this for him, we can't afford to offend any of them."Even if we fought our hardest, we won't be able to achieve anything. Please promise me you'll put it all behind you, okay, Timothy?"After taking a deep breath, Timothy looked at Joseph and nodded in all seriousness, saying, "Don't worry, Dad! I won't do anything foolish.""Good. That's good," Joseph said with a pleased smile, unaware of the bloodlust that filled Timothy's heart."Okay, you should go talk to Tiana now. Although she's upset, it's only because she cares about you. Go talk things out with her."Timothy nodded. He walked over to Tiana's room and tapped lightly on her door. "Can I come in, Tiana?""What for? I don't want to see you!" Tiana retorted icily."I want to talk to

Charlotte walked in nervously, her hands tightly clasped together. She looked like she hardly dared to breathe. There was a flicker of anxiety on her pretty face as she looked at Zack, her eyes filled with respect.Even just standing before him made her feel uneasy. Her humblest side was on full display.Zack glanced at her before saying with a faint smile, "My apologies, Ms. Shaw, but I had a phone call earlier. Do go ahead and tell me why you have come to see me today on behalf of the Shaws."Charlotte glanced at Zack. Her palms were sweaty. Although she had been standing outside the office earlier, she overheard a bit of Zack's conversation and heard him addressing the other person as chief. She even deduced from his tone that he considered himself a subordinate to the person on the other end, even going so far as to await the other's arrival.That was entirely shocking news to her, of course. Zack was not only the richest man in Lormford City but also the head of the Lormford

Smiling faintly, Zack replied, "Up till today, five of the Six Great Families of Lormford City, including your family, have spoken to me about this. We'll have to discuss it some other time. I'll give this matter my full consideration. The Shaws are also in the running, of course."Charlotte pursed her lips and clutched the edge of her skirt tightly. Biting her lip, she said with a conflicted expression, "Please do give us your full consideration, Mr. Larson."Zack sipped his drink and nodded without saying anything else. Charlotte knew this was a sign he wanted her to leave, but she dared not take any offense. He had already shown enough courtesy by meeting her in person.She turned to leave, but suddenly, she turned back around and said, "May I be so bold as to ask you something, Mr. Larson?""Go on."Charlotte's gaze flickered. Blushing slightly, she said, "My grandpa told me that when you had a meal with him, you mentioned wanting to introduce someone to me…"Zack was taken a

The elevator doors opened with a ding, and Charlotte lifted one of her long, slender legs to step into the elevator.At the same time, the doors of the elevator on the side opened, and Timothy stepped out. Taking in the opulence of the place, he tutted and remarked, "How lavish. He sure knows how to enjoy himself."Startled, Charlotte had a strange expression on her face. Why did she get the feeling she had heard Timothy's voice? That was impossible. She wanted to stick her head out of the elevator to check, but the doors started closing just as she was about to.Charlotte shook her head. Thinking that it was impossible anyway, she couldn't be bothered to open the doors back up. After all, Timothy came from an impoverished family, and his parents collected trash for a living. How could he possibly show up here?As the doors finally closed for good, she stopped dwelling on it.Timothy had no clue that Charlotte had entered the elevator beside him. He strode to Zack's office, wh

"I've heard some rumors about this, and now that I'm back, I plan to take care of these moles," Timothy said. "So far, only the Norgon has been exposed, but I'm sure others are hiding in the shadows." He continued, "You can't reveal my identity to anyone yet. I don't want anything to interfere with my business. Do you understand?"Zack nodded respectfully. "Understood, Mr. Yeager!""Alright, that's about it. I came to meet you mainly for those two matters. I'll contact you if anything else arises."With that, Timothy stood up and walked out of the office. Meanwhile, Zack watched his retreating figure with admiration.He could tell Timothy wasn't an average man from his words. Caelumis was bound to succeed with someone like him in charge.Without wasting time, Zack instantly assigned his subordinates to investigate Tiana's accident and searched for the medicinal ingredients Timothy needed.As night fell, Lormford City gradually came to life, its street aglow with sparkling light

Cora and Joseph remained still.Cora's expression changed from fear to confusion, skepticism, and eventually disbelief. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Tiana, what did you just say? Can you say it again? I can't believe it."With tears running down her face, Tiana repeated, "Mom, I can feel my leg again!"Hearing her words made Cora and Joseph burst into tears. It had been three years since Tiana's leg was paralyzed after that accident.In those three years, she had lost sensation in her leg. Every doctor had deemed her leg beyond hope, stating that it was entirely impossible to be treated.Yet, she could suddenly feel her leg again, which meant there was a chance for recovery.Cora held Tiana tightly, her voice choked with passion as she sobbed, "There's hope for you, Tiana!"Joseph wiped away his tears and patted Timothy on the shoulder. "Good job, son!"Timothy grinned and looked at Tiana. "I've already asked someone to look for the medicinal ingredients. Once they arrive,

Timothy swallowed the words at the tip of his mouth when he saw the smiles on his parents' faces.Cora was beaming with excitement, a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time.Her son had returned home safely, had a fiancée, had excellent medical skills, and almost had a job. Meanwhile, there was hope for her daughter's leg to be treated.Suddenly, life seemed full of hope, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to disappear.The light in the hall was dim, and Timothy glanced at his surroundings. The walls were dirty, the floor cracked, the windows were drafty, and the roof leaked. The entire house was damp and dreary.He couldn't help but frown and ponder momentarily before saying, "Mom, Dad, you should start packing. We'll find a time to move out of here."The elderly couple was taken aback. "Move out? Where will we move? We don't have a house."Timothy smiled and answered, "I have a house big enough for all of us. Besides, the environment is much better than here. This old
