Regretting the wife 209

The Maybach screeched to a halt outside the emergency room entrance

Cedric Clarke rushed over and flung open the back door

Stewart climbed out, cradling Briony in his arms. She’s bleedingshe’s unconscious!” 

Lay her on the gurney, hurry! We need to get her to the trauma roomnow!” 

Stewart placed Briony onto the waiting gurney, and the medical team whisked her away toward the emergency bay

Director Grant and Stella hurried after them, but Cedric caught Stewart by the arm before he could follow. You need to calm down. Let’s get you cleaned up firstthere’s blood all over you. Come to my office, I have fresh clothes for you.” 

No. I need to knowis she pregnant or not?Stewart’s voice was hoarse, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he struggled to speak. If she isI need to know if the baby is still alive.” 

He shook off Cedric’s hand and strode toward the trauma room

Wait, justhold on. I already spoke to Dr. Joyner,Cedric called, running to catch up. He took a deep breath, bracing himself. All right, I’ll tell you the truth. Briony was pregnant.” 

Stewart froze midstride

He turned, his dark eyes boring into Cedric. She really was? When did you find out?” 

I heard it just now from Dr. Joyner.Cedric’s expression was grave. Remember after the earthquake a while back?” 

Stewart’s brow furrowed. That time she lied to me, didn’t she?” 

She did.” Cedric looked away, lowering his voice. She was actually here for a D&C procedure.” 

Stewart stared at him, stunned

A D&C?He clenched his jaw. Cedric, you’d better not be lying to me.” 

Why would I lie?Cedric’s tone was deadly serious. Dr. Joyner explainedBriony has a congenital condition, it’s always been hard for her to conceive, and her pregnancies are fragile. You know what she went throughthe stress, Ms. Hudson’s sudden death, your situation with Rosita…” 

No, that can’t beStewart shook his head. If she was pregnant, why would she keep it from me? She” 

The words died in his throat

He suddenly remembered that day, their bitter argument in the snowstorm

The way Briony had looked at himso cold, so resolute

Now, everything made sense

She’d already decided to keep the pregnancy a secret. Was she planning to have the baby on her own

But that was his child toohow could she make that choice without him

The baby’s development was complicated from the start,” Cedric said heavily. She tried everything to save it, butshe lost the baby. And when she miscarried, not everything passed naturally. That day after the earthquake, she came to the hospital for the procedure.” 

I don’t believe you.” Stewart’s voice was low and steady. If she really miscarried, why would she hide it from me? You checked her records, didn’t you? Falsifying medical records is a crime.” 

Cold sweat broke out across Cedric’s back

Chapter 209 

Leave it to Stewartthe man had never lost a case in court. Even now, he was calm, his mind razorsharp

But they’d been friends too long for Cedric not to know how to handle him

He averted his eyes, feigning guilt. Honestly, when I looked into it, the records seemed off. But you and Briony were at each other’s throats, and I figured you two were finished. I guessed Dr. Joyner must’ve altered the file. I’m sorry, StewartI should’ve come clean. But please, don’t blame Dr. Joyner.” 

You’re lying.Stewart’s expression darkened, his gaze cutting. Why would Briony conceal even a miscarriage from me?” 

Cedric let out a weary sigh. Maybe she’d just lost faith in you. Maybe she thought you didn’t deserve to know she’d been pregnant. Stewart, can’t you see? Briony was so done with you thateven after losing the babyshe still didn’t want you to know. She truly wanted nothing more to do with you.”
