Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

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?"

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.
