Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 607

After a whirlwind of activities, it was only then that I remembered about the check-up. "Oh, did all the test results come back?"

"They did."

Gregory cast a gentle glance at my belly, a smile playing on his lips. "The little one is doing great. All your carefulness and effort to protect him haven't been in vain."

Seeing this, Lucius, holding some documents, said, "Gregory, I'll wait for you in the car."

Gregory nodded. "Yeah."

After Lucius left, Gregory noticed my worried glance toward Ramona's room. "Dr. Andrews said that if she isn’t stressed, she can maintain her current condition."

I caught his implication. "So, Ramona's health…"

Gregory nodded, wrapping an arm around my shoulders. "Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural laws, beyond our control. Accept it with a calm mind. Let her spend her remaining days happy, and you stay happy too."

He checked his watch, probably had other matters to attend to. "Dr. Andrews mentioned that a good mood is crucial. It can benefit one's health significantly."

I nodded, not wanting to keep him any longer. "Go on, be safe, and let me know you’re okay."

Gregory kissed my forehead, ruffled my hair, and strode away.

Gregory would send messages to assure me he was safe, without going into much detail.

When I asked about the situation, he told me not to worry, that it would all be over soon.

Ramona and I spent most of our time at Elmwood Villas.

We'd garden, keep fish, and do jigsaw puzzles, among other things. Dr. Andrews said that such hobbies were good for both the mind and body, helping to stabilize her condition.

I picked up my phone to message Gregory, telling him to be safe too.

But that message went unanswered.

I assumed he was just too busy to check his phone.

Before I could receive a reply from Gregory, Ramona insisted on going out, unstoppable.

"I need to find Victor!"

Rain began to pelt down, quickly flooding the streets.

As Ramona headed for the door, muttering about finding Victor, I tried to gently calm her down, only to be forcefully pushed away.
