Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 71

In a daze, my mind wandered back to the past.

Back then, Bryant and I had just tied the knot six months earlier. My period was over ten days late. Despite him always being careful, a part of me couldn't help but wonder if I was pregnant.

Buying the pregnancy test, I was already bursting with thoughts on how to break the news to him.

Now, facing the reality of being pregnant, the thought of Bryant just beyond the door didn't bring any joy or excitement.

All I felt was fear, nervousness, and the unsettling feeling of uncertainty.

The worst-case scenario played in my mind: losing the baby. Just thinking about it sent a cold shiver down my spine.

In just two and a half years, everything had changed dramatically, as if worlds apart.

Feeling heavy as lead, I made my way to the door, only to find Bryant's figure nowhere in sight.

Where was he? Only my purse remained, left alone on the metallic bench by the door.

He... left?

Pulling out my phone from the purse, a new message caught my eye.

"Got caught up with something urgent. Kevin will drop off the medical report at home later. I'll be back soon. Wait for me."

...

I sighed, stepping out of the medical center, my mind suddenly shifting gears.

The ultrasound report was already in my hands. This might be an opportunity to tweak a little something.

I dialed Christine's number, and she picked up almost instantly, "I was just about to call you. Where are you? Why aren't you at work, and why did your phone suddenly go off last night? Didn't end up having a revenge fling with Bryant, did you?"

Her questions came firing out like a machine gun.

The last question made my face burn. What even was that?
