Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 729

“Fine,” Xenia Cooper said. “Let’s meet. I prefer to negotiate face-to-face.”

“Alright. You pick the place.”

…

After hanging up, Briony received a text from Xenia with an address. It was a villa located halfway up a mountain in the suburbs, quite a distance away.

Briony frowned. Why would Xenia want to meet in such a remote place?

For safety, she decided to have Crystal accompany her.

…

Back in the hospital lounge, Briony gave the bottle to Aster, who began drinking eagerly. Stella held him, her expression distant as she watched him.

Ableson and Cedric returned after seeing the specialist off. Ableson took Aster from Stella’s arms, sighed, and gently stroked her hair. “I’ll take Aster for a walk in the back garden. You and Cedric need to talk.”

Stella didn’t respond.

Ableson sighed again and carried the child out. Briony also stood up and looked at Cedric with a serious expression. “Dr. Clarke, Stella isn’t in a good state. Please talk to her calmly. Don’t be impulsive.”

Cedric nodded.

“I have to take care of something,” Briony added. “I’ll be back at the hospital tonight.”

“Okay.”

…

The lounge door closed, leaving them alone. Cedric knelt in front of Stella, holding an ice pack wrapped in a towel. He gently applied it to her swollen cheek. It must have stung, but Stella didn’t flinch or pull away. She was completely numb.

How had the vibrant girl he once knew become like this? Cedric’s heart ached as he looked at her. He knew his own selfishness had led to this moment.
