Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 584

“I raised little Nina myself—I know her health better than anyone. I understand you don’t want to trouble me, but when a child is sick, nothing else matters. You can’t let your worries get in the way.”

Briony fell silent at those words.

James walked over to the window and gently touched Nina’s forehead. “Feels like her fever’s gone down a little.”

“Yeah. Dr. Jarvis just stopped by again—he said her condition is stable for now.”

James nodded. “That’s good.”

Ferdinand asked, “Is it pneumonia?”

“Bronchial pneumonia,” James replied.

Ferdinand said, “Let me check her pulse. I’ll prepare some medicine and apply it to the right pressure points—it should help her recover faster.”

“You’re always so busy. Really, you don’t have to go out of your way.”

“I’m not that busy.” Ferdinand looked at Briony. “Bryn, do you really think I’d ever harm little Nina?”

Briony pressed her lips together, staring at him for a long moment. At last, she said quietly, “I’ve always believed that you truly care for her.”

But you still poisoned her.

That last thought, Briony kept to herself.

James watched the exchange between Briony and Ferdinand, feeling an odd sense that something was off.

Just then, Ferdinand’s phone rang. Whatever was said on the other end made his expression turn grave. “I’ll be there right away,” he said, and hurried out.

As soon as the door closed, James couldn’t hold back any longer. He turned to Briony. “What’s going on with you and Ferdinand?”

Briony rubbed her temples, realizing she couldn’t hide it from James anymore.
