Briony offered Stella a gentle smile in response 

With Stella by her side, the heaviness in her chest eased, her mood lightening a little

Tm coming tool James chimed in, his eyes lighting up

No you’re not,Stewart shot back, his voice cold and expression even colder 

“What? Why not?James glared at him. You’re flying privatewhat’s one more passenger?” 

Stewart met his gaze, lips curving into a chilly smirk. True, it’s not about space. I just don’t see why I should. let you on my jet.” 

James practically shouted, You’re doing this on purpose, Stewart!” 

just think you’re unnecessary,Stewart retorted, then turned and strode toward the VIP entrance, ignoring James entirely

James was fuming, venting his frustration at Stewart’s receding back

Seeing how upset he was, Briony tried to soothe him. James, honestly, I could use your help here. Someone needs to keep an eye on the studio while I’m gone.” 

James’s anger vanished in an instant. Well, since you put it that wayHe gave a haughty little sniff, acting nonchalant. 1 suppose I can do you the favor and watch over things.” 

Thank you.” Briony smiled, then added, Let me know as soon as you get the results back from the bracelet.Will do.” 

James, now in much better spirits, couldn’t resist giving a few lastminute instructions, If Stewart dares give you any trouble over there, call me right away. My family’s got money toomy dad has a private jet, you know!Briony couldn’t help but laugh at his competitive streak. Relax, I’ll be fine. With Stella with me, nothing’s going to happen.” 

Just then, Cedric Clarke walked over, cleared his throat, and addressed James, Mr. Delaney, don’t worry. I’m going too, and I give you my word: I’ll make sure Ms. Kensington comes back safe and sound” 

James had always had a decent impression of Cedric. Dr. Clarke, I know you just have questionable taste in friends. I’m counting on you to look after Bryn!” 

Cedric chuckled. Don’t worry, Stewart may act like a guard dog, but he’s not about to do anything illegal.James rolled his eyes. Cheating on your wife is illegal too, you know?” 

Cedric just shook his head, momentarily speechless

It was about an elevenhour flight from Northborough to Ghana

They left Northborough around one in the afternoon, and by the time they landed in Accra, Ghana’s capital, it was four o’clock the next day, local time

The jet touched down

The cabin door opened

One by one, they disembarked

Briony had been sick several times during the journey, and it was clear by looking at her that she was in rough shape

Chapter 179 

Stella supported Briony as they climbed into the business van waiting to take thern to the hotel

Once inside, Briony slumped into the seat, her body limp and drained, quickly slipping into a halfconscious 

haze 

Her skin was so pale it was almost bluish, eyes squeezed shut, a deep frown etched between her brows 

Stewart glanced back at her several times. As her condition only seemed to worsen instead of improving, his expression grew colder by the minute

He shot a sharp look at Cedric Clarke. What medicine did you bring? Why isn’t it working?” 

Just motion sickness pills!Cedric sounded genuinely confused. This brand always works best. I don’t get why it’s not helping her at all” 

Stella, listening to Cedric, felt a pang of quilt

Of course it wasn’t workingBriony hadn’t taken the pills at all

She was pregnant. She couldn’t risk taking motion sickness medication

Mustering her courage, Stella offered a halftruth: Bryn’s lost a lot of weight recently. She’s not just anemic, her blood pressure’s been low, too. She never used to get carsick, but lately even a tenminute drive leaves her dizzy. It’s probably the anemia and low blood pressure catching up with her.” 

Both anemia and low blood pressure? That’s not goodshe needs some serious careCedric shook his head, frustration growing. He shot Stewart a critical look, Dragging her around like this, she’ll be lucky if she doesn’t collapse. Honestly, have you no conscience?” 

Stewart just stared at Briony’s face, her eyes still shut tight, his own gaze shadowed and unreadable
