Regretting the wife 203

Chapter 203 

Outside the ER

Stella Joyner got the emergency call and rushed from the obstetrics ward, not even bothering to take off her white coat

Briony stood there like a statue, frozen in place, her clothes soaked in blood, her face streaked with tears. She looked utterly lost, like the life had drained out of her

Stella called her name several times, but Briony didn’t react. Her tearfilled eyes were glued to the tightly shut doors of the emergency room

Bryn!” 

Stella gripped her shoulders, giving her a gentle shake

Briony’s lashes fluttered. Her gaze finally landed on Stella’s face. Star” 

I’m here. Try not to worry. Mr. Delaney will be alright.” 

Briony shook her head. When she spoke, her voice trembled. He lost so much blood. His whole back was soaked. I kept calling his name, but hehe didn’t respond…” 

Don’t be scared. He’s going to pull throughhe will, Bryn!” 

Stella wrapped her arms around her, trying to comfort her. Mr. Delaney’s a fighter, and Dr. Clarke and the best surgeons are in there with him. He’s young, stronghe works out, remember? He’s got every chance to make it through this.” 

Briony was still in shock. Ever since James was rushed into surgery, she’d been strung tight as a wire

Now, in Stella’s embrace, the adrenaline faded, leaving her body shuddering uncontrollably

She felt coldso cold. Her lips were pale as she bit down hard, but in the end, she couldn’t fight it anymore. Darkness closed in and she collapsed

Bryn!” 

Stella caught her before she hit the floor and shouted for help. Quick! Get a gurneyshe needs the ER!” 

10:00 AM, outside City Hall

The Maybach had been parked there for over half an hour

In the back seat, Stewart sat with a frosty expression

Carl Shaw had heard his phone buzz several times, but Stewart hadn’t answered any of the calls

He guessed it was Ms. Lockwood againshe’d been hounding his boss relentlessly these days

Stewart’s mood had clearly taken a nosedive

For the umpteenth time, Carl glanced at Stewart through the rearview mirror

Stewart looked up, meeting his gaze

Carl’s breath caught. He quickly looked away, flustered

A beat later, Stewart’s deep voice filled the silence. Call Briony.” 

Yes, sir.” Carl pulled out his phone, found Briony’s number, and dialed

It rang and rang, but no answer

He tried twice more, with the same result

Mr. Wentworth, Ms. Kensington isn’t picking up.” 

Stewart let out a cold, humorless chuckle, as if he’d expected nothing less

She’s really playing hard to get, isn’t she?Stewart turned to look out the window

People streamed in and out of City Hall

He’d already tried calling Briony twice himselfno answer either time

And now Carl couldn’t reach her

Could it be any clearer

She didn’t actually want a divorce

A faint, almost satisfied smirk played on Stewart’s lips. She can’t let go of this marriage after all.” 

His tone was low, emotionless

Still, when Carl risked a glance in the mirror, he could swear his boss looked almostpleased

Carl scratched his head in confusion

Strangestood up, and yet he’s in a good mood

So is it Ms. Kensington who doesn’t want the divorceor is it my boss

Stewart’s phone buzzed again

Rosita’s name flashed on the screen

He frowned slightly and answered

Stewart, Irwin’s running a fever.Rosita’s voice was thick with panic and tears

Stewart’s face darkened instantly. I’ll be right there.”

He hung up and barked, Drive to Lunar Heights Estate.” 

Yes, sir.” 

James!” 

Briony jolted awake from a nightmare, screaming his name

Stella rushed over at once. “Bryn, listenMr. Delaney made it through the surgery.” 

The words barely left her lips before Briony threw off the covers, ready to leap out of bed. I need to see him!” 

Waityou can’t right now.” 

What do you mean?

Stella let out a weary sigh. “He’s still in the ICU. The bullet went straight through his backbarely missed the main artery to his heart. He’s lucky, honestly. Dr. Clarke and the other surgeons did everything they could. They got the bullet out, but the wound is so close to his heart. The next fortyeight hours are critical.” 

Briony finally understood

You meanhis life was saved, but he’s not out of danger yet. He could still…” Her voice broke, eyes filling again. He could still”
