Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 737

“And while Star never wanted to get married, she ended up with you because of her amnesia, and she genuinely wanted to build a good life with you. But your entire marriage has been permeated by Mrs. Joyner's control. Maybe you didn't notice it at first, but now? I don’t believe for a second you haven’t seen it. You condoned her control over Star. In fact, you’ve slowly turned into a second Mrs. Joyner yourself. Star desperately wanted you to see what she truly needed, but the love you offered her was all about possession and control. How is that any different from what her mother does?”

All the color drained from Cedric’s face. He couldn’t utter a single word in his defense, because Briony was right about everything.

…

After leaving Stella’s room, Briony went back to the emergency room, where Carl had just arrived. Stewart had changed into clean clothes, his hands wrapped in thick gauze, which looked a little ridiculous.

A nurse was giving him instructions. “Don’t get them wet for the next few days, and you need to come in for a dressing change every day for the first three days.”

Stewart gave a curt nod.

Briony walked over just then. Seeing her, Carl immediately greeted her with respect. “Ms. Kensington.”

Briony nodded at him before turning her attention to Stewart. “Do you need to be admitted?”

Stewart glanced at the IV bag, which was nearly empty. “I’ll go home after this is done.”

After a brief silence, Briony asked, “Do you have anyone to look after you for the next few days?”

Before Stewart could answer, Carl jumped in. “I can! I’ll take care of Mr. Wentworth!”

Stewart was speechless.

Briony nodded. “If Carl is taking care of you, then I won’t worry.”

Again, Stewart was speechless.

“Eileen is waiting for me,” Briony said. “I should get back. Be safe on the way home after the drip is finished.”

Stewart watched her, a flicker of disappointment in his eyes, but he managed a nod. “Okay. You be safe, too. It’s raining, so tell Crystal to drive carefully.”
