Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 304

After the anesthesia, Julia slept even more deeply. Briony stayed by her mother's side the entire time.

Dinner was brought to their cabin on Stewart's orders.

Briony had little appetite, but she forced herself to eat a bit, knowing she needed her strength.

...

At nine thirty that night, the cruise ship docked at Southern Vale Airport.

Stewart had made arrangements in advance-an ambulance and an RV were already waiting by the pier.

Judd and the others carefully carried the unconscious Julia off the ship first. Briony followed close behind.

Once ashore, she pulled out her phone and opened her messages.

James Delaney had texted her half an hour ago.

They were already here.

Relief washed over her as she hurried after Judd and the others to intercept them.

Judd glanced at her in confusion. "Ms. Kensington, is something wrong?"

Briony didn't answer. She simply looked toward the Rolls-Royce parked nearby, its hazard lights flashing in the darkness.

Both the front passenger and rear doors opened at the same time.

James and Ferdinand Ellsworth stepped out one after another.

The two tall men strode purposefully toward them under the night sky.

In the distance, the sound of an approaching ambulance siren grew louder.

Briony turned to look at Irwin, just a few steps away, and said calmly, "Stewart, I'm not going back to Northborough with you, and you're not taking my mother anywhere."
