Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

Lunar Heights Estate

Rosita had just been discharged from the hospital, with Quentin's blessing, to help prepare for the wedding.

For the past few days, Lauren had also been staying at Lunar Heights Estate, lending a hand with Irwin and helping with the wedding arrangements.

The last time Rosita's condition took a turn for the worse, Quentin had spent a fortune flying overseas to get a miracle drug worth millions. It was that treatment that had pulled Rosita back from the brink of death.

Since then, Rosita's recovery was obvious-her energy had improved, and a healthy flush had returned to her cheeks.

Stewart was away on a business trip this week, but Rosita still insisted on calling him via video chat at the same time every day.

With her memory in shambles and her battle with brain cancer, Stewart usually just went along with whatever she wanted. But when work got busy, he couldn't always answer her calls.

Not that it bothered Rosita—she actually enjoyed checking in on him like this.

Today, the wedding planners delivered samples of wedding sweets and pastries, and Rosita wanted Stewart's input on which ones to choose.

She tried video calling him again, but this time, Stewart didn't pick up.

She called three times in a row, and each time, there was no answer.
