Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 601

"Sure thing."

Bella was quick to agree, then she got up and said to me, "I'm going to check on Ramona. Seeing how worried you've been, pacing back and forth, I've had less interaction with her, so I might not upset her as much. Maybe she'll even remember me."

I nodded, "But can you promise me, to tell me anything that happens? Don't hide anything. I can handle it."

"You think you can handle it?"

Bella poked my forehead, saying, "I asked Gregory on the way here. He wouldn't dare lie to his future mother-in-law. You being rushed into the emergency room last night, you conveniently left that out of our earlier chat."

I touched my nose, a bit embarrassed.

Indeed, I had omitted that detail when speaking frankly with her earlier.

Even though I was standing here perfectly fine now, my mom was definitely still shaken by the event.

Mainly because she'd worry, and most likely wouldn't agree with me staying at the hospital.

She's already busy, having to allocate her energy to deal with my situation too.

And it wasn't even her place to deal with Ramona's situation.

She and Victor weren't married, not even an ex-wife, so Ramona wasn't her mother-in-law.

"My bad," I said with a playful pout, "I promise, it won't happen again."

"It better not."

Bella patted my head. "Alright, don't worry. I won't keep anything from you."

"Can I go check on her now?"

"After you," I ushered my mom to the hospital room door with a gesture.

Mom gave me a playful glare.

She was naturally beautiful, and that look, combined with her charm, was stunning.

No wonder she remained a star in the entertainment industry.

After mom left the hospital room, I was puzzled, "Why do you think Victor would cheat on mom with Pearl, who's not nearly as good as her?"

Christine, munching on some fruit mom had brought, lifted her plastic fork and began to explain as if delivering a lecture.

"Men always think the grass is greener on the other side, always wanting a taste of what they haven't had."
