Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 37

The sudden ring of Stella's phone broke the silence.

She froze for a split second before realizing it was her own.

"Sorry, I need to take this," she said, peeling off her gloves and answering. "Gina? What's wrong-Ms. Hudson fainted?!"

On the operating table, Briony's eyes snapped open. She stared at Stella, her voice urgent: "What happened to my mom?"

"Ms. Hudson collapsed," Stella explained quickly. "Gina tried to call you several times but couldn't get through, so she called me. Don't worry-Gina's already called an ambulance. They're on their way to the hospital now."

Briony sat up, swinging her legs off the table. "We have to pause the procedure. I need to make sure my mom is okay."
