Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 38

Briony returned to her own hospital room first, changing out of the standard-issue gown and back into her own clothes. After collecting herself, she made her way to see Julia.

Outside Julia's room, Gina was waiting. The moment she saw Briony, she hurried over, blocking her path.

"Ms. Kensington, please, don't go in just yet."

Briony frowned in confusion. "What's happened?"

Gina glanced around, then pulled Briony aside, lowering her voice. "I'll be honest with you-your mother's awake, but she's... well, she's seen the news online. She thinks you broke up someone else's relationship, and the shock is what caused her to faint."

Briony froze.

She hesitated, her mind racing. Suddenly, the realization hit her. She spun around to look at Stella.

"Star, give me my phone."

Stella, knowing there was no use hiding it anymore, handed the phone over.

Briony unlocked it and opened Facebook.

Her inbox was flooded with messages. Even under her attempted post clarifying the rumors, the comments were a barrage of vitriol:

"Manipulator."

"Attention seeker."
