Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 381

"I understand... I really do. How could I possibly blame you?"

I poured a glass of warm water, carefully slid a straw into it, and offered it to Cheryl, "Here, have some water."

...

As dusk settled and Cheryl drifted into sleep, Bryant and I finally made our way out. We planned to head home for a quick shower before coming back to keep vigil. The doctor had warned us... Cheryl could pass away at any moment.

On the way, I checked Cheryl's medical bills at the hospital. Bryant had transferred a hefty sum, running into millions. It was all spent on trying various new drugs and treatment options developed abroad, including two surgeries performed by top international specialists. Not just expensive, but it required connections too. Without these, Cheryl probably wouldn't have made it to Christmas. Yet, Bryant never mentioned any of this to me.

Sitting in the backseat, I turned to look at him, "Bryant, thank you for everything you've done for Cheryl. About the money... I'll transfer it to you now."

The proceeds from the sale of the house had been deposited, enough to cover the expenses.

His eyes fixed on me, "We don't need to settle accounts between us like this."

"But we should."

After all, we were divorced. I had no right to keep spending his money.

Bryant sighed, "Are you just trying to put more distance between us now?"

"Yes."

I was about to open my banking app when my phone rang. It was Gregory's call.
