Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 645

I squeezed her hand gently, "It all happened so fast, don't feel guilty. And with those explosions, chaos everywhere, I'm just relieved you're not hurt."

"You have no idea how intense the blast was. Dailey pulled me away just as the chandelier was falling. Then, when you and Gregory went to the hospital, there were several more explosions. Bella…"

Christine suddenly stopped talking.

I instantly sensed something was off, "What's wrong with my mom?"

It was clear Christine was hiding something from me.

Before I could press further, there was a knock at the door.

Christine quickly went to open it.

"Dr. Andrews, please come in."

Dr. Andrews felt like Christine was inviting him into a lion's den.

But he didn't give it much thought, assuming Christine was just worried about her best friend.

Dr. Andrews' arrival didn't stop me.

Seeing Christine trying to slip away, I called out, "If you walk out that door, we're no longer friends."

"..."

Christine had no choice but to come back, looking dejected.

"Chris, tell me the truth."

Christine admitted, "Bella's okay, just some injuries, resting in the hospital. I've already told her you're fine. Grandma..."

"Let Gregory tell you about grandma."

Just as I was about to ask more, Dr. Andrews asked, "Do you feel unwell in any way?"

"I was busy treating Mr. Ford at the time. After attending to Mr. Ford's injuries, I heard about your miscarriage symptoms and that you were rushed to the emergency room, but I didn't see you there."

"Later, I was told you were moved without needing emergency care, so have you experienced any issues during this time?"

Dr. Andrews couldn't rely on Mr. Abdul's methods of diagnosis; he needed the medical reports.

I shook my head, "When I woke up, I felt like I had been treated, the baby seemed fine, and I didn't have any issues except for throwing up everything I ate. Now, I just feel a bit nauseous, no pain in the stomach."

"But I'm not sure about the baby's condition."

I turned my head away.

Gregory had his suspicions.

Christine was always a bit loose-lipped.

"Eat first, and then I'll tell you whatever you want to know."

My stomach betrayed me by growling twice at that moment.

Left with no choice, I had to feed the little one inside me first.

I took the bowl of soup and finished it off myself.

Then, I helped myself to some meat and vegetables.

After making sure I was full, I took a sip of warm water to settle my stomach and looked at Gregory.

Gregory got up from the bedside, pulled a chair closer, and sat in front of me.

He took my hands in his, "I was actually planning on waiting till we got back to Vista Town and have Mr. Abdul check on you."
