Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 111

Stella handled Briony’s hospital admission first, then led her to the ward to change into a hospital gown.

Once Briony had changed, they went through a series of routine checkups.

The test results would be ready in half an hour.

That wait felt endless. Briony stood by the window, silent and still.

Stella and James kept her company, quietly staying nearby without intruding.

Thirty minutes ticked by before the results finally arrived—everything was normal, and she was cleared for surgery.

At that moment, a message came from the operating room: they were ready.

“Bryn,” Stella called softly, “it’s time. We should go to the OR.”

Briony’s lashes fluttered as she slowly turned around.

Stella walked over and wrapped her in a gentle hug. “Don’t be nervous. I’ll be right there with you,” she reassured her.

Briony’s reply was barely above a whisper. “Okay.”

James stood off to the side, wordless, his brow furrowed, the concern on his face deeper than usual.

The three of them made their way to the doors of the operating room. James stopped there.

Stella held Briony’s arm and walked her in. The heavy doors swung shut behind them.

Stewart stepped out into the corridor, only to have the victim’s parents hurrying after him.

“Thank you, Attorney Wentworth! Thank you!”

The middle-aged couple, faces lined with exhaustion and dressed in plain clothes, fell to their knees, thanking Stewart over and over as they bowed in gratitude.

Stewart’s eyes widened in surprise. He rushed forward, helping them to their feet.

His voice was steady but gentle. “This is my duty as your attorney. There’s no need for this.”
