Delayed Regrets: He Regretted Only After Her Death Novel

As fireworks illuminate the sky during a lavish wedding, Tiana Linden's heart stops beating in a hospital room far below. In her final moments, she pushes her daughter Daisy toward Aiden Grant, desperately entrusting the child to him—but he stands distracted, admiring a wedding ring meant for Vivian Linden. When Daisy reaches toward him, he dismisses her with stone-cold cruelty: "A scammer's child deserves no place in the Grant Family." He tears the paternity test to shreds with bitter laughter, unaware that Daisy's left ear is deaf and cannot tolerate his harsh voice, unaware that Tiana carries a terminal cancer diagnosis.

When Daisy's fever climbs to 40°C and she desperately begs Aiden to save her dying mother, his cruelty intensifies. He orders her thrown into the raging storm: "Don't copy your mother's sympathy act." Crawling across hospital floors to gather scattered painkillers, Tiana anchors herself to one belief: her daughter cannot live without her. She must survive.

As the wedding march peaks, Aiden Grant rushes into the hospital room like a man possessed. He desperately applies the defibrillator, his voice breaking with denial: "Tiana Linden! This cannot be real!" The monitor's flat line announces her death, and panic finally seizes him.

Months pass. Grant Industries' CEO kneels weeping among blooming eustoma flowers. "The flowers have bloomed at last," he whispers. "Tiana, I miss you so much."
