Regretting the wife 94

Chapter 94 

Briony ignored her and focused on her own meal, barely glancing up

That New Year’s Eve dinner was shrouded in an uneasy, suffocating silence

Stella ate in tears, each bite swallowed with more saltwater than food

Briony, on the other hand, managed to eat quite a bit

But as she cleared the table, she suddenly clamped a hand over her mouth and bolted for the bathroom, where she threw up everything she’d eaten

Stella panicked, but Briony just offered a faint smile and murmured that she was simply tired

It was barely nine o’clockhours still to go before midnight

Stella gently supported Briony, helping her to bed

In the past three days, Briony had barely slept a wink

And if Briony was awake, Stella couldn’t rest either

Given the state Briony was in, Stella refused to leave her side. She’d called their parents earlier to explain, and they understood, reminding her to take good care of Briony

Once Briony lay down, exhaustion overtook her and she drifted off almost instantly

Stella stayed beside her, and before she knew it, she too had fallen asleep

It was impossible to say how long had passed when Briony, halfdreaming, heard someone calling her name

She startled awake, drenched in sweat, tears streaking her face, her chest aching with emptiness

Boom! Boom! Boom- 

Outside, the night sky exploded in a riot of fireworks, bursting in brilliant color.. 

The new year had arrived

The room was dim and quiet. Briony glanced over at Stella, who was fast asleep

Carefully, Briony slipped out from under the covers and tiptoed out the door

It was New Year’s. She needed to find her mother… 

Down by the river, the city was alive with noise and celebration. Families and friends flocked together in joyful crowds to ring in the new year

Wearing a pale dress and slippers, Briony wove unsteadily through the revelers toward the water’s edge

Hundreds of floating lanterns drifted across the rivera Northborough tradition to welcome the new year with wishes and prayers

Briony gazed out at the glowing lanterns until her vision blurred with tears

Mom” 

The word slipped out, and with it, the dam she’d held for three days finally broke; tears rushed down he unchecked

eeks 

Mom! It’s New Year’s. Why aren’t you coming homeMom!” 

Behind her, laughter and cheers filled the night, but Briony gripped the railing, calling for her mother again and again

Her voice, ragged and desperate, was swallowed by the crowdno one noticed

No matter how she called, there would never be an answer

Unbearable grief tore through her. Her mother was gone

And now, she no longer had a home

From behind, voices shouted fresh wishes into the night

Here’s to a year filled with peace and happiness for the whole family!” 

I hope this year brings my parents good health, my marriage harmony, my children joy, and our family all the happiness in the world!” 

Briony turned, taking in the beaming faces, the glow of families wrapped in each other’s arms. All she felt was a hollow ache inside her chest

She was alone, utterly alone

Everyone else had someone to call home. How lucky they were

Her lips twisted into a bitter, fragile smile

Slowly, Briony turned back to the river, a determined glint rising in her eyes

As the cheers and laughter rose behind her, she climbed over the railing

Hey! Miss, what are you doing-” 

A shout rang out from the crowd

Briony didn’t hear it. She closed her eyes and spread her arms wide- 

Wait! Someone’s trying to jump-!” 

At the last possible second, a tall figure lunged forward, grabbing Briony’s arm before she could let go
