Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 111

I half expected Timothy to say, "Don't divorce Bryant." But he didn't.

I could feel Timothy's life slipping away. His voice was barely a whisper. "No matter what... don’t let Margaret marry into the Ferguson family. Promise me you’ll protect the Ferguson family."

"I promise..." I was on the verge of breaking down, tears rolling down my face as I nodded vigorously. "Timothy, did Margaret say something to you? Why else would you suddenly fall ill?"

"She..." A flicker of disgust and anger passed through Timothy's eyes before he sighed. "Just remember what I told you."

"I will... I'll remember every word," I managed to choke out, afraid to ask anymore, worried it might upset him further.

But doubt had already planted its seeds in my mind. Margaret must have said something to Timothy.

"My dear, don't be sad. Take care of the baby," Timothy mustered his last bit of strength, looking at me kindly with a smile. "That way, I can rest in peace..."

The monitor let out a sharp, prolonged beep!

Seeing Timothy with his eyes closed but a smile on his lips, I completely broke down. He knew it. He had known about my pregnancy all along! But he never asked me about it.

Kneeling by the bed, my tears wouldn't stop. "Timothy, I will... I'll do everything you said!"

I hoped he could still hear me. I hoped it would bring him peace.

"Grandpa!" A familiar, uncertain voice came from behind me.
