Regretting the wife 210

Stewart stood frozen in place, unable to move or speak

For a long moment, he just stood there, unresponsive, as fragments from the past flickered through his mindeach memory sharp and vivid, like a film playing in fastforward

He remembered Christmas Eve, the night she said she wasn’t feeling well. He’d thought she was just upset, sulking over something trivial, and had brushed her off. Now, looking back, he realized she must have already been pregnant then

Other moments surfacedtimes when Irwin got close to her and she instinctively shielded her belly, as if protecting something precious

His phone buzzed in his pocket. Stewart knew it was Rosita calling, but right now, he had no desire to answer 

With heavy steps, he started toward the emergency room, every stride feeling heavier than the last

Cedric Clarke followed quietly behind

They reached the doors just outside the emergency room. Only then did Cedric finally speak. After the miscarriage, she never really recovered. Remember in Ghanashe collapsed almost as soon as we landed?! thought it was odd at the time.” 

Stewart stared at the glowing red letters spelling EMERGENCY above the door, his gaze fixed and unwavering

After a long silence, he finally exhaled, lips pressed in resignation, as if conceding to Cedric’s explanation

He asked, If she lost the baby a long time ago, then why is she suddenly in so much pain and bleeding now?” 

We’ll have to wait for Dr. Grant to come out for a full answer, but I’m guessing it’s probably a complication with 

her uterus.” 

Stewart fell silent again, lost in thought

After about ten minutes, the emergency room doors swung open

Stella strode out, clutching a surgical consent form. You and Bryn still aren’t officially divorced, and she doesn’t have any other family. That means you’re the only one who can sign off on this.” 

What’s the consent for?” 

It’s for a hysterectomy.” 

Stewart’s eyes widened in shock

Stella’s eyes brimmed with tears as she snapped at him, Sign it, Stewart! Bryn’s hemorrhagingwe can’t stop the bleeding! What are you waiting for?” 

He shook his head, staring at the form in her hands, feeling as if the world had tipped off its axis

Noshe’s so young. You can’t do this surgery” 

You think I don’t know that?Stella shot back, her voice brittle with emotion. She never recovered after the miscarriage and the procedure. Thanks to you, she’s been dragged back and forth between Cloudcrest and Ghana. Then this morningafter everything that happenedher emotions have been all over the place. No one could withstand that. Stewart, Bryn’s in this situation because of you!” 

Stewart pressed his lips into a thin line, turmoil raging in his dark eyes

But still, he hesitated. He didn’t move, didn’t speak

Behind him, Cedric Clarke made urgent, pleading gestures at Stella, but she wouldn’t even look his way

Cedric rubbed his face, exasperated. There was nothing for ithe had to step in

Chapter 210 

Stewart, sign the form. This is a matter of life or death.Cedric took the pen from Stella and held it out to 

Stewart

Stewart took it. The man who was always so calm and composed now found his hand trembling as he gripped 

the pen

Seeing his hesitation, Stella barked, Hurry up! Bryn’s blood type is rareshe doesn’t have time!” 

The words hit Stewart like a punch to the chest. He couldn’t delay any longer. Setting his jaw, he scrawled his name across the formhis handwriting shaky and uneven, a far cry from his usual confident signature

Stella snatched up the consent form and rushed back into the emergency room

The doors slammed shut once more

Stewart stared at them, his eyes dull and shadowed

He stood there as if turned to stone, every muscle rigid, his breathing heavy and labored. The hand that had just signed the form hung limply at his side, his fingers still trembling. After a long while, he closed his eyes, swallowing hard against the lump in his throat. No one could have known what was going through his mind in that moment
