Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 240

Briony pressed her lips together, not in the mood to deal with Stewart right now.

Still, she had to admit-if Stewart hadn't helped, Stella wouldn't have been rescued from Garry so quickly.

Stewart stopped right in front of her, dark eyes fixed on her face. "Why aren't you going in?"

"It doesn't make any difference if I wait here," Briony replied quietly.

"Is it because you saw me?"

Briony said nothing.

Stewart didn't press further, just gave a faint, wry smile. "Stella's a fighter-she wants to live. You don't have to worry too much. I'll get going."

With that, he stepped past Briony and walked away.

She didn't acknowledge him, but his words settled her nerves a little.

As long as Stella survived, that was all that mattered.
