Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 116

Stella quietly stepped back, moved to the side, and pulled out her phone. Keeping her expression carefully neutral, she opened WhatsApp and began typing a discreet message…

"You think just saying that is enough to make me believe you?" Stewart stared at Briony, his breathing growing heavier and more erratic. "Briony, you wouldn’t—how could you dare—" He broke off abruptly, wracked by a fit of harsh coughing. The next moment, bright red blood spattered from his lips.

"Stewart!"

Cedric Clarke cried out, just barely managing to catch Stewart’s tall frame as he staggered and collapsed in shock.

"Where’s the gurney? Hurry—get him to the ER!"

The room erupted into chaos as Stewart was rushed to the emergency room.

The window of time while Stewart was being treated gave Briony the perfect opportunity.

Stella had already messaged Dr. Grant, the hospital’s director, asking her to help alter Briony’s medical records.

Just then, Stella’s phone rang. It was Dr. Grant calling back.

"The records are missing?" Stella exclaimed in surprise. "Is it a system error?"

Dr. Grant replied, "I checked with IT. Apparently, there was a glitch during some routine maintenance. They’re working on restoring the files—it might take a few days."

Stella paused, then let out a soft laugh. "Well, that’s convenient. At least we don’t have to forge any records now."

After hanging up, Stella quickly relayed the situation to Briony.

Briony listened, her expression grave. "We can’t leave the records completely blank. Stewart would never buy it."

"So what do you suggest?" Stella blinked. "Want me to fake an abortion report?"

"No," Briony replied with a sly smile. "There’s another surgery that would be far more convincing."

"What kind?" Stella asked.

Briony glanced at James, then beckoned Stella over with a crook of her finger. "Come here, I’ll tell you."
