Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 70

Chapter 71

When Briony returned to the hospital, it was already past ten.

Gina was making up the bed, and looked up in surprise when Briony walked in. "Ms. Kensington? I thought you weren't coming tonight."

Julia, sitting up in her hospital bed, gave her a curious look. "Bryn, what brings you here so late?"

Briony stepped inside and closed the door behind her. "I think I left my coat here."

"This one, right?" Julia handed her the down jacket from the side of the bed. "The weather forecast says there's going to be a big snowstorm. You need to stay warm."

Briony took the coat and nodded. "I will. Thanks, Mom."

"If there's nothing else, you should get home and rest.” Julia squeezed her hand gently, frowning. "Why are your hands so cold? Are you feeling sick?"

Briony managed a faint smile. "No, it's just winter. My hands are always cold this time of year."

Julia was quiet for a moment, then suddenly said, "Bryn, Christmas Eve is only five days away."

Briony paused, caught off guard, then gave a helpless little laugh. "I've been so busy lately, I completely lost track of time."

Julia held her daughter's hand and sighed. "You've been running back and forth between work and the hospital. I bet you haven't even had time to prepare for the holidays, have you?"
