Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 424

He was speaking when, all of a sudden, he coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.

A moment later, the man could hold himself up no longer. His tall frame collapsed,

Briony hadn't hesitated-her aim had been both ruthless and precise.

Bianca heard the commotion and came running. When she saw Stewart kneeling on the deck, a knife still lodged in his side and blood on his lips, she gasped in horror and called frantically for the doctor.

Their private physician rushed over.

Stewart, clinging to consciousness by a thread, managed to command, "Turn the boat around. Now. And... get my wife back to her cabin-"

With those words, his eyes fluttered shut. He passed out cold.

"Sir!"

Briony watched as Stewart was carried away toward the cabins.

Conditions on the yacht were far from ideal. The doctor could do little more than stop the bleeding.

Bianca pressed him for answers.
