Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 754

Primo leaned in, lowering his voice, "His son once skipped town to lay low, bumped into Nelly abroad, but they didn't exactly buddy up. We can't just pin Ms. Jackson's drowning on them hatching a plot together."

Dailey, however, had a gut feeling that things were more complicated than they appeared.

He owed Nelly, sure, but if she was after Christine's life, he wasn't about to let that slide without a fight.

"Go, dig deeper," he instructed Primo, who nodded and set off immediately.

The ride arranged by Gregory was already waiting outside.

Christine and Jane shared one car, while Bella with the kids and Raleigh took another.

Gregory, not in a hurry to cozy up with his wife, sat by himself in the car, waiting for Dailey.

So, the moment Dailey hopped in, Gregory decided to stir the pot.

"First love or a permanent mark, Mr. Clarkson, what's your pick?"

Dailey remained silent, beaten by Gregory in this regard.

The guy had been smitten with Jane since they were kids and hadn't stopped since.

For him, first love and the permanent mark were one and the same.

Finally, Dailey retorted, "Aren't we brothers anymore?"

Gregory, lounging back with a casual air, dropped a frosty line, "Nope."

Dailey was at a loss for words...

Upon reaching the hospital, Mr. Abdul was already waiting for them.

Christine felt a bit embarrassed; she thought she was fine after some IV fluids, given her usually robust health.

Having a big shot like Mr. Abdul make the trip and wait around for her was a bit too much.

"I'm so sorry to have troubled you at this hour," she apologized.

Mr. Abdul waved her off, "I'm here now, it's no trouble. But down the line, you might have to consult my apprentice. Still, I hope you all stay healthy and trouble-free."

And it was the allergy that nearly cost her life in the emergency room.

Thinking back, he was terrified.

From now on, he was determined to prevent such incidents from happening again.

Since Nelly had mentioned going abroad, he'd make sure she was sent off.

And as for the adversary...

They would pay dearly for this foolish act.

"I'm staying out of the remaining issues," Gregory said, hands in his pockets, looking effortlessly cool. "Can't have people accusing us of collusion between government and business. I've got to pave a clean path for my Mira, starting with keeping my own slate clean."

Dailey couldn't help but curse at him before turning to enter the examination room.

He stepped in just in time to hear Mr. Abdul say, "My dear, your health isn't in the best shape."

Dailey, usually composed, couldn't hide his concern, "What's wrong with her?"
