Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 108

"Where's Margaret?" I dodged his approach, voice choked with emotion as I asked.

Timothy had been with Margaret when it happened. Why wasn't she here?

No sooner had I asked than the sound of heels clacking anxiously along the corridor reached us. Margaret hurried toward us, her face pale. "Bry, is Timothy okay? Sorry, I got held up trying to hail a cab near the Ferguson Mansion. It took forever."

I cut her off. "Why did Timothy suddenly faint?"

A flicker of panic crossed Margaret’s face before she replied, "I... I don't know. He couldn't breathe all of a sudden and passed out."

"Just like that? You didn't say or do anything?" I couldn't believe it.

Timothy had been in good health these past few years, always keeping up with his check-ups. Nothing happened when he was furious enough to lash out at Bryant. It just didn't add up that he would suddenly fall ill.

"What are you implying? Jane, are you suggesting I stressed Timothy into getting sick?" Margaret looked utterly bewildered and suddenly clutched her stomach, turning to Bryant in agony. "Bry, my stomach hurts so much..."

Bryant's expression hardened, "Your stomach hurts?"

Margaret replied weakly, "Yes!"

Convinced, Bryant scooped her up and made for the door. "Doctor! She's pregnant and in pain."

"Careful." Bryant, who had returned at some point, caught my arm, his voice gentle.

I shrugged off his touch coldly as the doctor approached us, removing his mask with a somber expression. "Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson, Mr. Timothy's old issue has come back and it's not looking too good. Though we've managed to keep him stable for now, he needs to be in the ICU for observation for a few days. You should prepare yourselves."

Bryant's eyes narrowed. "Is it that serious?"

"Yes, and the call for the ambulance could've been made sooner," the doctor sighed, "According to the medics in the ambulance, Timothy's condition was already critical on the way. Did you not realize he had fainted immediately?"

Puzzled, Gary replied, "I rushed over as soon as I heard something was wrong and called right away."
