Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 258

I kept telling myself not to care about him anymore, but when I heard he was in trouble, my body reacted unconsciously as if it had been conditioned over the eight years we had been together. It was beyond my control.

Grabbing my car keys, I rushed outside while trying to calm myself down, confirming on the phone, "He's at BlessedCare Medical Facility, right? I'll be right there."

"Yes, Room 1," Kevin responded.

Driving to BlessedCare Medical Facility, I tried to keep my thoughts organized. Despite the difficulties facing the Ferguson Group, it remained a leading corporation in RiverCity, always on the brink of a breakthrough or a comeback.

‘Who would dare target Bryant at a time like this?’ I thought I had braced myself. But it caught me off guard when I saw Bryant sitting up in bed, pale and unfocused, as a doctor bandaged his arm and chest wounds. My heart clenched, the pain sharp and continuous, like being nibbled by ants.

"Mr. Ferguson..." Kevin noticed me and called out.

Bryant turned, about to respond, when he caught sight of me.

I opened my mouth only to realize my throat was tight. "How did it get this bad?"

The stainless steel tray held blood-soaked bandages, and the wounds were deep and long, visibly painful.

He looked at me, trying to appear nonchalant. "It's nothing, just a scratch."

"Yeah, a 'scratch' that had you unconscious for a day and two nights, waking up just this morning. You're too proud, Mr. Ferguson..." Kevin couldn't resist a jab.

Bryant shot him a look, his tone icy, "Who told you to inform her?"
