Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 120

The moment I hit the ground, pain shot through me like a freight train. My head spun, my knees screamed, my arms ached, and my stomach...oh, the agony.

I tried to call out to him, lips trembling, but instead, I saw him panicking, clutching Margaret who had also been caught in the car's path. His voice was a mixture of anger and fear, "Are you out of your mind?!"

Even in his anger, his eyes betrayed his fear.

Quickly, he fished out his phone, fingers shaking, "Kevin, get the car here, now!"

"Jane!!"

It all happened in a flash. Christine was probably more shocked than I was, but as soon as she snapped back to reality, she dashed through the traffic, losing one of her high heels in the process.

Tears streamed down her face as she knelt beside me, hesitant to touch me, "Jane...it’s okay, don't be scared..."

I felt something warm trickling out of me, and with the last bit of strength, I grabbed Christine's hand, "It hurts...Chris, it hurts so much...save my baby..."

"I'm here."

She fumbled with her phone to dial emergency services, stuttering to comfort me, "I'm here, Jane, don't worry, everything's going to be okay, you will be fine!"

I wasn't sure if she was comforting me or herself.

As she called 911, a Bentley pulled up.

Kevin jumped out to open the door, and Bryant carefully carried Margaret into the car, gently placing her in the backseat.

All the while, he didn't spare me a glance. It felt like I was a stranger to him.

"Bry...oh my baby, I'm so scared, will you stay with me?" Margaret cried out.

"Of course. Let's get to the hospital." Bryant comforted her.

Curled up in pain, I couldn't tell which part of me hurt the most.

"Doctor, doctor! My friend's pregnant and she's been hit by a car, she's bleeding a lot..."

Upon reaching the hospital, the young man carried me as Christine led the way into the emergency room.

Hearing our situation, the staff sprung into action, though they seemed surprised, "What's going on today? Another pregnant woman in a car accident just before you."

Christine asked, "Came in a Bentley?"

"Yeah, that couple seemed really close."

Suddenly, I got a real taste of what it means to feel absolutely heartbroken.

As the nurse pushed me towards the emergency room, she glanced at the young man who had helped, obviously younger and unmarried, and asked, "And where's the husband? In situations like this, family should be notified immediately."
