Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 185

The car door swung open, and Stewart carried Briony inside.

Cedric Clarke shut the door behind them, then circled around the hood to climb into the driver's seat.

Just as he was settling in, Stella burst out the front door, flinging her arms wide to block the car's path. "You can't take her to the hospital!"

Cedric frowned, rolling down the window to lean out. “She passed out, Stella. Of course we have to get her checked out."

"Bryn has me!" Stella snapped, her voice tight with worry. "She just fainted because she was overwhelmed. She doesn't need a hospital!"

Cedric eyed Stella, taking in her anxious posture. Something felt off, but before he could press her for answers, a commotion erupted from the back seat.

"Stewart, let go of me!"

"Just calm down, Bryn. You fainted. I'm only trying to help-I need to get you to a doctor."

"I don't need to see a doctor! Let go of me!"

Briony had only blacked out for a moment. Now, awake and realizing she was cradled in Stewart's arms, panic jolted through her. All she wanted was to get as far away from him as possible.

Cedric, suddenly more intrigued than concerned, found himself sneaking glances at the rearview mirror.

In the back, Briony was furious, wriggling to break free. Stewart, however, refused to budge.

Their tussle escalated until, in a burst of anger, Briony slapped Stewart hard across the face.
