Regretting the wife 180

After they arrived at the hotel- 

Stella swiped the keycard and pushed the door open. Briony’s face twisted in discomfort, she clapped a hand over her mouth and rushed straight into the bathroom

Retching echoed from inside

BrynStella called, hurrying after her

Outside the bathroom, Stewart and Cedric Clarke waited in the hallway, listening to Briony’s painful vomiting. Both men wore grim expressions

It was a while before the sounds finally subsided

Stella emerged, supporting a pale and exhausted Briony as they left the bathroom together

The room had two beds. Stella guided Briony to one and helped her lie down

Briony was clearly feeling awfulshe barely managed to close her eyes before slipping into a restless sleep. Stella pressed her palm to Briony’s forehead

A slight fever

She tucked the blanket around Briony, then got up and stepped outside the room. Looking straight at Cedric Clarke, she said, Leave your first aid kit with me.” 

Cedric handed it over, concern etched on his face. Is she all right?” 

Stella shot a cold look at Stewart. Thanks to someone, she was throwing up nonstop on the flight and now, just landed, she’s running a fever. What do you think?” 

Cedric had no answer

With a sharp motion, Stella snatched the kit from Cedric’s hands and shut the door in their faces

Outside, Cedric scratched his nose and shook his head. Man, look at the mess you’ve madewhat a disaster.Stewart’s lips pressed into a thin line, his expression stormy and cold

After a moment, he turned and strode toward the elevators

Cedric called after him, Hey, where are you going?” 

Inside the room, Stella took Briony’s temperature

99.9 degrees

At least her fever wasn’t dangerously high

She opened the first aid kit, rummaged through it, but found nothing suitable for pregnant women

With no other option, she soaked a cloth in rubbing alcohol and gently wiped Briony’s forehead and neck, hoping to bring her fever down physically

Briony tossed in her sleep, brow furrowed in distress. Even unconscious, she looked miserable

Stella’s heart ached for her friend, and she silently cursed Stewart all over again

Briony’s sleep was fitfulher body alternated between chills and feverish heat. She had a vague sense of someone tending to her, but her eyelids felt impossibly heavy, she just couldn’t wake up

Her dreams blurred and shifted. Somewhere in that fog, she heard a familiar voice calling to her

Chapter 180 

BrynBryn 

She followed the sound and found herself in a dark, winding tunnel

The tunnel stretched on and on, so long she began to feel a swell of despair

Then another voice echoed from behind- 

Bryn, don’t go any further! Come back, come back” 

She stopped and turned

The tunnel had transformed into a sundappled path lined with trees

When she was little, her grandfather taught her to ride a bike along a path just like this. She’d been so afraid of falling, always struggling to learn, but her grandfather never scolded her. He was always there with a steady hand and gentle encouragement

He used to say. The hardest part is always the beginning. It’s not talent that matters most, Brynit’s the courage to keep going, even when it’s tough.” 

She practiced for months before she finally learned to ride

BrynBryn…. 

The voice came again, this time her mother’s

Briony turned and suddenly the tunnel gave way to a vast, mistcovered river

Far off in the fog, her mother’s figure appeared

Her mother waved, shaking her head. Bryn, you don’t belong here. Go back.” 

Briony shook her head, tears streaming down her face. Mom, I’m so tired. Can’t I just come with you?” 

Silly Bryn, you’re a mother yourself now. How could you say something like that? Your child needs you, Bryn. You have to protect your baby, and your baby will protect you, too.. 

A child

Briony looked downand to her shock, her belly was already swollen and round

She stared in disbelief

Suddenly, the world around her twisted and bled into a sea of red

She looked down againher stomach was flat, and beneath her, blood pooled across the ground. No- 

Briony jolted awake with a cry

Bryn!Stella rushed to her side, seeing the sweat and tears streaking Briony’s face. She understood immediatelyBriony had just woken from a nightmare

Briony was breathing hard, her hands clutching the blanket in a desperate grip
