Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

After the injection, Little Nina soon drifted off to sleep.

Briony carefully settled her daughter onto the hospital bed and raised the guardrail.

James left to fetch some essentials from home.

This hospital stay would last at least four or five days.

Now, only Briony and Little Nina remained in the room.

Blair waited outside, his watchful eyes glancing at the closed door.

Briony gazed at her sleeping daughter, reaching out to gently caress Nina's soft cheek.

After a moment, she turned and walked toward the door.

She opened it.

Blair immediately looked over, his concern evident as he blurted out, almost without thinking, "Is Little Nina alright?"

Briony lingered in the doorway, regarding him in silence.

There was a searching look in her eyes.

Blair stiffened, suddenly wary.

He lowered his gaze, standing straight and respectful. "I'm sorry, Ms. Kensington.
