Regretting the wife 276

Tears the size of pearls streamed down Briony’s cheeks as she sobbed uncontrollably

Worried she might collapse from overwhelming grief, the nurse murmured a few words of comfort before gently leading her out

The moment Briony left the ICU, Gwendolyn White hurried over to support her

Bryn, you’ve seen the baby. Let’s go back to your room, okay?” 

But Briony brushed Gwendolyn’s hand aside and, with slow, deliberate steps, walked straight toward Stewart

Each movement was heavy and laboredher stomach still throbbed from the surgery, and the hospital gown hung limply on her gaunt frame, swallowing her up

Stewart stood a few yards away, watching as Briony approached. Strangely, despite the shrinking distance, he felt as if she was drifting further and further from him.

James made a move to follow, but Gwendolyn quickly caught his arm

Leave her,she whispered. Bryn has something she needs to say to Stewart.” 

James raked a frustrated hand through his hair, clenching his jaw

Briony stopped in front of Stewart. Her face was drained of color, her eyes redrimmed and utterly devoid of light. She stared at him as if she were looking straight through himat something cold and lifeless

Stewart,” she rasped, her voice hoarse, I didn’t even get to see my son one last time. Are you satisfied now?” 

Stewart’s expression faltered

He frowned. I only brought him home so he could be laid to rest as soon as possible. I never meant to hurt you.” 

And what?Briony’s lips curled into a bitter smile. Am I supposed to thank you? Thank youthe heir to the Wentworth familyfor acknowledging my child, for allowing him to be buried in your precious family crypt? Should I get down on my knees and bow my head in gratitude?” 

Briony.” Stewart’s brow creased. He was my son, too. Do you think this is what I wanted?” 

Wasn’t Irwin always your only son?Briony’s gaze was icy, her words bleeding with pain. Do you really believe that burying him somehow erases the fact that he died because of you?” 

Stewart was stunned

You don’t deserve to be his father!” 

Briony raised her hand and slapped Stewart hard across the facethe sound cracked through the corridor

You’re a hypocrite! If it weren’t for you and Rosita, none of this would’ve happened to him. That was for my 

son!” 

Smack. She struck him again

That one’s for my mother!” 

Smack. A third slap followed

And this one’s for me!” 

Stewart stood there, head bowed, fists clenched at his sidesenduring each blow in silence, his usual pride stripped away

Briony’s chest heaved as her breath came in ragged bursts. If she’d had a knife at that moment, she wouldn’t have hesitated to plunge it straight into Stewart’s heart

Chapter 276 

She hated himhated him so fiercely she wished he’d vanish from the world altogether

Stewart, you took my son from me. Fine. But you have no right to take my daughter, too. After tonight, there’s nothing left between us. My daughter and I are done with youforever.” 

Without another glance, Briony turned and walked away

Someone called after her, but the voices sounded distant, muffled, as if she were wading through fog. Her legs felt as if they were made of cotton, and the hallway blurred before her eyes 

Bryn!” 

Briony!” 

Stewart lunged forward and caught Briony just as she crumpled toward the floor

She lost consciousness, and in an instant, crimson blood soaked through her hospital gown

Get a doctornow!” 

Stewart swept her into his arms and rushed toward the emergency room, leaving a trail of bright red on the polished floor in his wake

Cedric Clarke and Stella had barely stepped off their flight when they saw dozens of missed callsall from Carl and Stewart

Cedric’s stomach dropped. Something was wrong

He grabbed Stella’s hand, led her to a cab, and dialed Stewart’s number. No answer

He tried Carl next, and the call connected immediately

Dr. Clarke.” 

I just landed. Where’s Stewart?” 

He’s at the hospital,Carl replied, his tone heavy. Ms. Kensington found out about the little boyshe broke down, and the hemorrhage started again. She’s in surgery right now.” 

Cedric’s breath caught

He ended the call and instinctively looked at Stella

She clutched her chest, wincing. Cedric, my heart’s hurting again.” 

He squeezed her hand and sighed deeply

She shot him a look. “What’s with the sighing? You’re making me wonder if I really have some terminal illness!Stella gave his arm a light punch. I told you to take me to the hospital for a checkup, but you insisted on dragging me to Silveridge. What is it about Silveridge that has you so tied up in knots?” 

Cedric ruffled her hair. Do you remember Ms. Kensingtonthe woman we visited at the hospital?” 

Of course! She’s so beautifulI couldn’t forget her if I tried.” 

She went into early labor. Lost her son. The baby girl’s not doing well, either.” 

Stella’s eyes widened in shock. Oh noshe must be devastated.” 

Cedric nodded. She’s not doing well herself. The hospital just calledshe’s bleeding again. They’re fighting to 

save her.” 

Suddenly, tears welled in Stella’s eyes. Her chest ached with sympathy. That’s so awful, CedricShe must feel 

so alone.”

Cedric pulled her into his arms. That’s why, as her friends, I think we should be there for her. She needs us now.” 

Yes,Stella said fiercely, nodding. We’ll be there for her. I’m not great with babies, but I can tell jokesI’ll do whatever it takes to make her smile again.” 

Cedric smiled, earnest and reassuring. She likes you, too. Seeing youwell, I think
