Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 309

"Jane, Allen just received the divorce papers we filed," Thomas said, unable to hold back a warning. "But I ran into him when leaving the hospital. He looked pretty rough and might cause trouble for your aunt."

"I see, thanks. I'll head over right away to check on things."

Cheryl was in the critical phase of her treatment, and considering how stress could affect the stomach, the last thing she needed was a family feud.

I ended the call and returned to the private room, whispering to Christine, "Chris, can you take over here? Something's come up with Aunt Cheryl. I need to check on her."

Her expression shifted to concern. "What happened? I'll go with you."

"It's probably no big deal," I reassured her with a pat on the shoulder, "Just keep everyone entertained here, okay? No need to spoil the mood."

After saying that, I grabbed my bag, said my goodbyes, and headed out.

Mark quickly got up. "You've been drinking. Let me drive you."

"Sure." I knew he was there for the dinner because of me, so it made sense he'd leave if I did.

While walking to the car, I asked, "Are you sure you can drive?"

"Haven't even had a chance to start my drink," he said with a light laugh.

Reassured, I climbed into his car. When we arrived at the hospital, the ground-level parking was packed, so Mark had to search for a spot in the underground lot.

Worried about Cheryl, I hurried ahead. "I'll go up first."

Mark nodded. "I'll be right there after I park."
