Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 235

"Something good?"

Whenever Garry contacted her, it was never without a very specific agenda.

Briony had long since learned not to get her hopes up when Garry mentioned "good news."

Her voice was cool. "Just say what you want, Garry."

"Dr. Joyner is with me."

Briony's breath caught. "Garry, this isn't something to joke about. Don't even try."

"Do I seem like the type to joke about life and death?"

Garry heaved a theatrical sigh. "Seems like you really don't trust me at all, Ms. Kensington."

Briony's heart pounded in her chest, her grip tightening around the phone. "Is Star really with you?"

"I have no reason to lie."

Briony's eyes stung, her voice trembling. "Is she... is she alright?"

"She'll live, for now." Garry paused, then added, "But if she doesn't get brain surgery within a week, she may never wake up again."

"Brain surgery..." Briony pressed a hand to her chest, struggling to breathe. She closed her eyes, forcing herself to stay calm. "Where is she? I want to see her."

"Ms. Kensington, I didn't call to play the hero."
