Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 645

Stewart helped Briony sit down on the bed.

She took the glass of water he handed her, swallowed the medication the nurse had insisted she take, and asked, “When can we go home?”

They’d been away too long. She missed her two children desperately.

Given everything that had happened, she knew they were unbelievably lucky to have made it this far.

She understood the odds of finding a matching bone marrow donor were slim, but even if she was going to die, she wanted to go home first.

There’s something deeply rooted in everyone—no matter how long you’ve been away, you want to return to where you belong.

“When your health is a little more stable.” Stewart took the glass from her and set it on the table. “Do you want to FaceTime with the kids?”

Briony's eyes lit up. “Of course I do. How do I look right now, though? Still like a patient?”

“Much better than a few days ago.” Stewart gave her a soft smile. “It’s all over now, Bryn. You and the kids are safe.”

Briony pressed her lips together, hesitating for a moment. “Did they ever find Ferdinand’s body?”

“There’s nothing but ocean at the bottom of the cliff. The search teams combed the area for three days and found nothing. Chances are, the sea took him.”

Briony fell silent at that.

After a long pause, she asked, “What about Mary?”

“She showed signs of a miscarriage, but she’s in the hospital now. The doctors are hopeful she’ll be okay.”

“I want to see her.”

Stewart thought for a moment. “Give it another couple of days. Why don’t you call the kids first?”

Briony nodded. “Alright.”

She worried the children would notice how sick she looked, so she pulled her shawl higher to cover the hospital gown beneath. Then, to keep the hospital bed out of sight, she moved over to the armchair by the window, propped her phone at just the right angle, and started the video call.

It connected almost immediately. James’s face filled the screen.

“Bryn!” James was practically bursting with excitement. “You heartless woman—you finally remembered to call us!”
