I Hope You Will Never Regret

Valeria was so angry she took her handbag and ran to the parking lot. Unbeknownst to her, Portia was waiting for her. She was sitting in the car playing games on her phone.

As soon as she saw Valeria get in her car, Portia asked her brother to follow Valeria’s car. Valeria didn’t notice the car that was following her. Her heart was in a mess, and she was absent-minded.

When they passed the area where there were no streetlights, Wayne overtook Valencia’s car, then he stopped his car in front of her car. Valeria tried to swerve her car, but it was too late. She bumped into Wayne’s car.

Valeria was so scared she sat in the car until someone knocked on her car’s window. She lowered her car window and said, “I am so sorry. It wasn’t my intention to bump into your car.”

Portia looked at her and said, “Get out of your car.” Valeria took her phone from her handbag and tried to call her parents, but Portia grabbed her phone and said, “Are you deaf? I said get out of the car.”

Valeria’s face paled when she saw the woman take her phone. Portia was looking at her calmly and asked, “Are you going to get out yourself or do you want me to help you?”

Valeria tried to close the window, but Portia was very fast. She grabbed her hair. Valeria was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. Portia asked, “Do you want to get out using the window or the door?”

Valencia wiped her tears with her hand and replied, “The door, please.” Then Portia released her hair, then she stepped out of the way. Valeria was thinking of reversing her car and running away, but she felt that she would not be able to outrun the luxury car. She reluctantly opened the door, then she got out of the car. She was so scared her body was trembling.

Portia looked at her and said, “I just bought my Bentley two weeks ago. The repairs alone will cost me more than one hundred thousand rand. Will your insurance be able to pay for the repairs?”

Valeria’s mind went blank as fear surged in her heart. Then Portia started beating her up. She broke the hand that Valeria beat up Sage with, then she broke both of her legs. Valeria was in so much pain that she fainted.

Portia dialed 911, then she lifted Valeria and placed her in the driver’s seat. Then she walked to her car. However, they didn’t leave. Wayne parked their car away from Valeria’s car, then they waited for the ambulance to come.

Half an hour later, the ambulance arrived. The paramedics moved Valeria out of the car to the ambulance and left. When they arrived at the hospital, Valeria was rushed to the emergency room.

At midnight, Mrs Moore received a call indicating that Valeria had been involved in a car accident, and she was at the Taylor Private Hospital. She woke her husband up and said, “Vince, my daughter was involved in a car accident.”

Her husband was so scared he changed his clothes quickly, then they rushed to the hospital.

When they were sitting in the waiting room, Mr Moore remembered that they had left their granddaughter alone. He looked at his wife and said, “Valery, I am going back home to fetch our granddaughter.”

Valery looked at her husband annoyed and said, “Your daughter is fighting for her life, but you are thinking about your evil-hearted granddaughter. What if the car accident was caused by her father? Xavier is ruthless.”

Vince shook his head and replied, “Valery, stop spouting nonsense. I don’t think Valeria’s car accident is related to the Taylor family.”

At that moment, Valeria was wheeled to the recovery room. She had casts on her legs and hand. Tears streamed down Mrs Moore’s face when she saw her daughter looking like a mummy.

When the nurse saw them, she asked, “Are you related to her?” Mr Moore nodded his head and replied, “She is our daughter.”

Then the nurse looked at them and said, “Please go to the cashier and settle the medical bills urgently. We will not move her to the private ward until we receive payment. For surgery and admission, it would be two hundred thousand rand.”

Mr Moore nearly fainted when he heard the nurse’s words because they had never paid any medical bills before. They used their friendship with the Taylor family to their advantage. Also, they didn’t have that kind of money.

Mrs Moore started panicking. Then she took her phone and dialed Mrs Taylor’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Caroline, my daughter was involved in a car accident.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

The nurse told us to pay two hundred thousand rand urgently, but we don’t have that kind of money. Please advise the hospital that we don’t need to pay the medical bills because we are in-laws.”

Mrs Taylor was so annoyed and asked, “Valery, why don’t you transfer your daughter to the public hospital if you don’t have money?” Mrs Moore was taken aback when she heard Caroline’s words. When did Caroline become so cruel?

Mrs Moore started pleading, “Please help me, my dearest friend, for old time’s sake. My daughter is seriously injured, and she will die in a public hospital.”

Mrs Taylor sneered, “Valery, I will never forgive you for taking our friendship for granted. Please don’t disturb my sleep anymore.” Then she hung up the phone.

Mrs Moore was dumbfounded when she heard the beeping sound. She was so disappointed in Caroline for failing to give her a helping hand in her time of need.

She looked at her husband with tears in her eyes and said, “Vince, Caroline refused to help us. Where are we going to get the money from?”

Mr Moore looked at the nurse and asked, “How much for the surgery alone?” He was thinking of taking his daughter home since they didn’t have enough money.

The nurse told him that it would be one hundred and fifty thousand rand. It should be paid immediately. Mr Moore was dumbfounded. It was daylight robbery.

Mrs Moore took the bank card from her wallet then she went to the cashier to pay the medical bills. When she found out that her eldest daughter had a terminal illness, she took a life cover to cover her daughter. She received millions of rand, but she never told anyone.

At the Moore family mansion, Sage woke up because she was thirsty. The bedroom was pitch black. Did her father forget to leave the side lamp on? She tried to switch on the side lamp, but it wasn’t there.

Sage tried to reach for the bottle of mineral water on the side table because Aunt Avery always put water on the side table. Did she forget to put water on the side table? However, there was no side table. Did they move the side table?

Sage started to panic and screamed but no one came. She opened her mouth and shouted, “Daddy.” However, her father didn’t come. At that moment, she was reminded that she had left the Taylor family.

Sage was overwhelmed with bitterness. It was clear to her that her maternal grandmother didn’t love her. She regretted the decision she made. She wished she could press a rewind button. However, it was too late.
