It was my child. He must have searched the heavens far and wide before choosing me to be his mom. And here I was, wrestling with the decision to keep him.
Christine gently cleaned my tears, embracing me with a warmth she seldom showed in public. “Why the tears? Your baby’s doing just fine, very well-behaved and tough.”
“Really?” I asked in surprise.
“Of course, it's true. Don’t you believe me? Ask the nurse,” Christine said.
The nurse, who had come in with her, chuckled helplessly. “Don’t just worry about the baby. You hit your head, and though we’ve bandaged the cut on your forehead, we haven’t done a CT scan because of the pregnancy. How do you feel now? Any severe dizziness?”
“I’m okay.” I nodded, feeling only slightly woozy.
“That’s good. Once you finish with the IV, you can go home to rest. Just come back to the hospital if you feel unwell.” While patting my shoulder reassuringly, the nurse added, “Just take care of yourself. That’s the best way to look after your baby.”
With that, she left.
When hearing that, my tense nerves finally relaxed, and I hugged Christine, my whimpers low, crying out all my grievances and frustrations.
Eventually, as my emotions steadied, Christine let go of me, pulled a chair, and sat beside me.
She looked visibly shaken. “You scared the hell out of me, you know? Weren’t you supposed to take Bryant to the cemetery today? Why were you alone in the car? Where’s Bryant?
If the hospital hadn’t called your emergency contact while I was on the phone with you, you’d be here all alone, and nobody would have known if something happened!

The readers' comments on the novel: Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson)
waste of time, useless and dragging story....
Ten chapters per day is absolutely a lie... where's 10 chapters? I don't see it...
Why don't you update?...
We can't waitttt...
Update pleaseeee...
Even tho it says 10 chaps at day on 27th of June 10 chaps were not uploaded 😣☹🙁...
We would wish that she doesn't get back with Bryant but at the end the author will come up with some lame excuses to make him a saint n they will end up together.....
Please update...
If she had left when she was supposed to she wouldn't have gone through all this. I hope she doesn't get back with Bryant....
After all this plz don't tell me she gets back with that scumbag Bryant and accepts the Myers family....
