Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 426

Ferdinand tightened his hold around her, his arms drawing Briony closer.

"Gifford, get us to the hospital."

"Yes, sir!" Gifford answered crisply.

With Briony in his arms, Ferdinand climbed into the SUV. The black Hummer sped off into the distance.

Just then, a shout echoed from the deck-"Hurry! Mr. Wentworth's in shock!"

Cedric Clarke's eyes widened in alarm. He bolted back toward the yacht.

At the hospital, after Briony was rushed into the emergency room, Ferdinand immediately called James.

It wasn't long before James arrived, bringing Little Nina and Crystal Marlene with him.

Last night, news had come from Mr. Seven-he'd finally tracked down the location of Stewart's private yacht.

Mr. Seven had sent out his own vessel and arranged for his men to accompany Ferdinand and James on the search for Briony.

Originally, James was meant to join Ferdinand out at sea that day. But Little Nina hadn't spoken to her mother in days and had spent the previous nights tossing and turning, plagued by nightmares of her mom crying.

By the next day, Little Nina had developed a low fever.
