Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

Briony replied in a soft, even tone.

Ferdinand watched her for a moment before finally breaking the silence. "I have to go. Will you be alright on your own?"

"I'll be fine." Seeing that he wasn't insisting further, Briony's demeanor softened a little. “Thank you, Ferdinand. Really."

No matter what, she couldn't afford to shatter the fragile peace between them.

If she did, who knew what reckless thing Ferdinand might do to her children in a fit of anger.

"There's no need to be so formal with me," Ferdinand said with a resigned smile. "Unless there's something else, I should get going."

He left not long after.

Stella Joyner rushed in just a few minutes later.

She explained that Ferdinand had called her, telling her Briony had fainted while getting an IV at the hospital.

Briony sighed. "You still have Aster to look after. Why did you come all the way to Havenport for me?"

"Why? Do you really have to ask?" Stella shot back. "You faint alone in Havenport and there's not a single friend around to check on you. How could I not be worried?"
