Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 210

Cedric Clarke looked at Stewart with a weary sigh, helplessness etched across his face.

He couldn’t help but think—when a woman makes up her mind, she can be downright terrifying.

To fake something as serious as a hysterectomy… This was full-blown medical fraud.

For a moment, Cedric felt utterly lost.

Had he made the right choice today?

If this ever blew up, knowing Stewart’s personality, he’d be the first to go after Stella.

And then, Stella would be staring down a medical malpractice lawsuit.

But it was too late to turn back now. All he could do was take things one step at a time.

—

Inside the emergency room, Briony’s condition had finally stabilized.

Director Grant stood by, his face grave as he fixed Stella with a stern look. “Star, this is reckless. Do you realize how serious the consequences will be if anyone finds out?”

“I’m sorry, Professor Grant—I know I shouldn’t have done it, but…” Stella’s eyes reddened as she glanced at Briony, still unconscious on the surgical table. “Bryn’s been through enough. I can’t stand the thought of her being trapped by Stewart just because of these twins.”

“That doesn’t mean you should risk everything like this. If Stewart discovers the truth, you won’t just lose your job—you’ll be facing a lawsuit.”

“I know.” Stella’s voice was heavy. “But the situation was urgent, and I couldn’t think of any better way.”

She drew a shaky breath. “Stewart’s powerful. If he wants to fight for custody, Bryn doesn’t stand a chance. So even if it costs me my career, I have to help her.”

She lifted her head and met Director Grant’s gaze. “Professor Grant, please don’t worry—this has nothing to do with you. If it comes out, I won’t drag you down with me.”

Director Grant sighed and shook his head. “Forget it. I know what you’re like. Just be ready to face the worst if it comes to that.”

Stella nodded, her expression resolute. “I will.”

…

By the time Briony was wheeled out of surgery, Stewart and Cedric were already gone.

Director Grant had already arranged for a doctor friend at a private clinic to take Briony in, so she could quietly recover there.
