Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 116

Tears streamed down my face like a sudden downpour as my fingers trembled, taking the velvet box.

Upon opening it, I found two locket pendants, both crafted from the most exquisite gems, one adorned with a delicate flower pattern and the other plain.

Such precious gem was hard to come by, a testament to how much Timothy had cared.

I carefully closed the lid, sniffled, and asked, “When did Timothy find out about my pregnancy?”

He had known it all along yet chose to spare my feelings by never questioning me. Timothy was gone, yet I still felt his loving embrace.

Gary said, “Mr. Timothy had someone check your medical records after the last family dinner. Please don't be mad at him. He was worried about your health and feared you might hide it from him.”

“How could I be mad at him?” My sobs grew louder, “I only blame myself.”

Had I told Timothy sooner, he could have enjoyed his happiness for a little longer. He wouldn’t have had to tread so carefully, afraid even to ask me.

“Bringing a new member into the Ferguson family is a blessing. Mr. Timothy would be overjoyed, even from the heaven.”

Gary comforted me and remembered something Timothy had said, “Right, Mr. Timothy mentioned before, if one day you can’t stay with Mr. Bryant, the child will be yours, and the Ferguson family will provide financially.”

I was shocked into silence. So, it was that I had been too defensive. Timothy had never intended to take the child away.

“It’s just...” Gary hesitated, “At the end of the day, Timothy still hoped you and Mr. Bryant could live happily together.”

“Fine, I understand.” I took a deep breath, letting the tears freely flow. “Please keep the child a secret for now.”
