Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 166

Bryant looked helpless, his voice gentle as he tried to explain, “Margaret lost a child, too. Even if you take this to court, it won't bring you the closure you want.”

“Oh…” I just nodded, feeling utterly drained. “So, my child's death is in vain, then?”

He seemed worried I might get upset, quickly trying to soothe me, “That's not it. There are still ways…”

“What ways?” I forced a weak smile, “Send her abroad, to any country I choose?”

“That’s possible.” He sighed in relief, nodding without hesitation.

I looked at his flawless features and chuckled. “Then, let’s send Margaret to someplace challenging, like maybe a remote town. Oh, and she gets by without financial help from you.”

Bryant hesitated. “Jane…”

“Is that a problem?” I saw the disbelief flash across his handsome face, but I insisted. I wanted Margaret to pay, even if just a little.

He frowned. “It’s chaotic there. Since a kid, Margaret has never...”

He was cut off as his phone rang from his pocket. Checking the caller ID, it was Kevin.

I sneered, “Go ahead. It might be too late. Maybe you need to identify the body.”

“Hello,” Bryant answered, face set in a hard line.

Kevin’s voice was faint but audible. “Mr. Ferguson, we need you here. Ms. Ferguson is refusing any treatment and continues to bleed. She wants you here.”

“Tell her to give up treatment if she wants to die!” Bryant’s voice was icy as he hung up.
