Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 614

Dr. Andrews nodded. "That's one way to put it."

My heart sank.

"Jane."

Suddenly, I heard my mom's voice and turned to see her walking towards me, enveloping me in a warm hug. "I've missed you so much, honey."

"Mom!"

I let out a sigh of relief, feeling a bit more grounded, though I hadn't had the chance to explain the situation to her before the door behind us burst open.

And there, I watched, stunned, as Victor wrapped my mom in a tight embrace.

Grinning foolishly, he exclaimed, "Honey!"

Me: ?

Christine: ??

My mom: ???

After about two seconds of silence, my mom let out a shriek that nearly lifted the hospital's ceiling.

Luckily, Victor was weak, and she managed to break free with a little struggle.

"What the heck?"

My mom shivered, brushing herself off as if she'd been touched by something filthy.

Victor looked hurt, turning to my grandmother, "Mom, why?"

My mom was speechless.

My grandmother hadn't fully grasped the situation yet, but it was clear she was getting the picture.

"You've got the wrong person. She's not your wife."

"But she is. She's my wife."

Victor reached out for my mom's hand, but she quickly stepped back several paces, dodging him as if he were the plague.

"Why?"

Victor grabbed me, standing beside him, desperate and turning to my grandmother, "Daughter, mom, look, this is mine and Bella's daughter, Bella is my wife."

Me: "…"

Christine quickly intervened, separating me and Victor.

Victor started to cry, his face turning red with urgency, asking my grandmother, "Mom, why won't they talk to me?"

"…"

We all looked at Dr. Andrews.

Dr. Andrews cleared his throat, "It's exactly as you see."
