Chapter 214 

Rosita stared at Irwin’s small figure as he walked away, not a trace of motherly affection in her eyesonly thinly veiled disgust. Just my luck to be saddled with such idiotic genesshe muttered under her breath

With a dismissive snort, she tore her gaze away and headed upstairs

Lauren had been holed up in her room for ages. What on earth was she up to in there

Rosita hated looking after childrenespecially Irwin, who had been more unruly than ever lately. He was driving her up the wall

Worse still, the wedding was fast approaching. There was no way she’d let Briony’s baby stick around any longer

She had to deal with that child before the wedding. No excuses

Rosita reached Lauren’s bedroom. The door was ajar, and she raised her hand to knockonly to freeze as voices drifted out

Neal! I told you to get rid of Briony, but you were supposed to check with me about the timing first!” 

Rosita went rigid

Neal

Why did that name sound familiar

She peered through the crack in the door. Lauren sat on the bed with her back to the door. Rosita couldn’t see her face, but Lauren’s voice was sharp with anger

You picked today of all dayscompletely ruined everything! Briony was supposed to finalize her divorce with Stewart today, but youI’m not blaming you, but right now Briony’s perfectly fine, and you’ve already gotten the police involved” 

Lay low abroad for now. I’ll wire you another payment soon, but don’t contact me until I reach out to you.” 

Lauren hung up and, in a fit of rage, hurled her phone across the bed

That idiot Neal! If it weren’t for him, Briony and Stewart would have signed the divorce papers by now!” 

Outside the door, Rosita frowned

So Briony and Stewart were supposed to get divorced today, but everything got derailed because of that Neal

Rosita closed her eyes, fighting down a surge of anger

She turned on her heel and retreated to her own room

Pulling out her phone, she searched for information on Neal

To her surprise, she actually found something

Neal was a fugitive, wanted for more than a decade

Lauren knew a man like that

Rosita’s expression grew grim

Just how many secrets was her dear daughter hiding

It was after eight in the evening when Briony finally woke up

Gina, hovering anxiously at her bedside, rushed forward as soon as Briony’s eyes fluttered open. Ms. Kensington, you’re awake!”

Briony’s mind was a haze as she came to, the events of the day slow to return to her

She remembered fainting in front of Stewart. Then, with a jolt, panic set inher pregnancy

Gina, who brought me to the hospital?Briony’s hand flew to her stomach. My babiesare they7” 

Don’t worry, Ms. Kensington, the babies are perfectly fine!Gina assured her quickly. You’re at a private clinic nowDr. Joyner arranged it. She asked me to tell you that Mr. Delaney woke up this afternoon and has already been moved out of the ICU. Marlene is there with him.” 

Relief washed over Briony, the tension finally draining from her shoulders. James is safe? Thank goodness. That’s all that matters.” 

Your pregnancy is still a secret,Gina added gently. Dr. Joyner wants you to stay here and rest until things stabilize. Once the babies are safe, you’ll be able to visit Mr. Delaney,” 

Briony nodded, her mind at ease. Understood.” 

Briony spent three days on bed rest at the private clinic, her condition finally stabilizing

James was recovering quickly as well. Though Briony couldn’t visit him in person, they spoke every day via video call. He was young and resilient, bouncing back with astonishing speed

By the fourth day, James was almost his old selfcheerful and ravenous, already requesting hearty meals and rich comfort food

Naturally, the doctors put a swift stop to that

On the fifth day, Briony was officially cleared for discharge

Just to be safe, her doctor prescribed another week’s worth of medication and instructed her to rest as much as possible at home

After this close call, Briony became even more protective of her unborn twins

Returning to Skybreeze Retreat, she carefully prepared a simple, nourishing mealplain porridge and a few light side dishesthen packed it up and headed for the hospital

James kept begging for steak and greasy takeout, but those were offlimits for now. Still, Briony hoped her homemade meal would lift his spirits

But as soon as she stepped into the hospital foyer, she ran straight into Stewart

He was carrying Irwin in his arms

Irwin’s small hand was wrapped in thick bandages, his little face still streaked with dried tears

The moment he spotted Briony, Irwin’s wailing started afresh

Mom! Mom, my hand got cut by a knife! There was so much blood-”
