Regretting the wife 98

Chapter 98 

At Quentin’s words, the faint curve at the corner of his mouth vanished

Those two had never managed to get along

Rosita’s eyes flickered. She clung to Stewart’s arm, her delicate frame halfcollapsing against his chest, her tearfilled eyes looking up at him for support

Stewart, tell mewhy did Irwin fall down the stairs?” 

Stewart lowered his gaze to her, speaking softly. It was my oversight. I’m sorry.” 

I’m not blaming youRosita’s tears spilled over, streaming down her cheeks. I just don’t understand. He called me not even an hour agohe sounded so happy. He told me his mom, Bryn, had come home to spend New Year’s with him. Whywhy would he suddenly fall down the stairs?!” 

Irwin had called Rosita

Stewart asked, What else did he say to you?” 

He told me he couldn’t come home tonightthat Ms. Kensington was upset, and he wanted to stay with her. Irwin’s always so considerate, and I was glad to hear it. I told him not to worry about me, that he should look after Ms. Kensington. I even said, if Ms. Kensington knew how thoughtful he was, she’d be truly touched.” Irwin was so happy to hear that. He wished me a happy New Year, and then hung up.The more Rosita spoke, the more her voice trembled, her tears falling like beads from a broken string

Stewart, I’m not blaming you, and I’m not accusing Ms. Kensington either. It’s justas a mother, I need to know why my child got hurt. I just want to know the reason, that’s all” 

Stewart gently tried to calm her. Rosita, it was truly an accident. Please don’t worry. Dr. Faust is already hereIrwin will be all right.” 

Rosita sobbed, nodding through her tears. Yes, you’re right. Irwin’s such a sweet, good boy. Nothing’s going to happen to him” 

Standing nearby, Quentin listened to Rosita’s words, a shadow passing over his brown eyes behind his glasses. He glanced at Briony

Just then, the doors to the emergency room swung open. A nurse stepped out, announcing that Irwin had lost too much blood and needed a transfusion

But the blood bank was out of type A. 

Irwin was type A. So was Quentin

Quentin spoke up immediately. I’m type A. Take mine!” 

You can’t!Rosita grabbed Quentin’s arm. “Irwin can’t have your blood!” 

Quentin frowned, confused. Why not?” 

Rosita froze, momentarily at a loss for words

Stewart noticed something was off as well. Rosita, why can’t Director Lockwood donate blood to Irwin?” 

Rosita lowered her eyes, panic flashing across her face

Suddenly, her expression changed. She looked up at Quentin through a fresh veil of tears. Quentin, diu forget? You’re on medication.” 

Quentin met her gaze, reading the unspoken message in her eyes

He cleared his throat and turned to Stewart. She’s right. I almost forgotI’ve been taking medication. I really

shouldn’t donate blood.” 

Stewart paused, his eyes flickering briefly over to Rosita

So we’re just supposed to wait around?he snapped, his tone dark and heavy

Rosita flinched, bowing her head and sobbing anew

Quentin instructed the nurse to find someone on staff who could donate, offering a generous reward

Thankfully, everything worked out

Irwin received the transfusion in time. He’d suffered a minor skull fracture, but was now out of danger and 

moved to intensive care

Once Irwin was settled, Stewart finally remembered Briony

When he returned to the waiting area outside the emergency room, he found Milo’s black coat draped quietly over an empty chair

Briony was already gone

Stewart walked over and picked up the coat

It was still warm

He stood there for a long moment, staring down the silent, empty corridor, his hand tightening around the coat

Briony had borrowed a phone from a nurse to call Stella

Stella drove straight to the hospital and brought her back to Dolphin Cove

Briony didn’t say a word the entire way, and Stella didn’t press her

Once they got home, Stella guided her over to the couch

Here, take a look.Stella handed Briony Julia’s phone. Julia left you a message on it.”
