Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 795

Jane helped her lie down, "Your head is still throbbing; let's not dwell on this for now. It looks like a dead end, and fretting over it won't solve anything. At least if you're physically stronger, you can weather the storm a bit better."

Christine sprawled out on the hospital bed, letting out a heavy sigh, "This isn't something I can just tough out."

"It's strange, isn't it? Knowing full well my background could bring trouble to Dailey, and yet, I've genuinely fallen for him."

Suddenly, the door to the room swung open. Jane turned to see Gregory stepping in. She informed Christine and then excused herself from the room.

Closing the door behind her, she looked up at Gregory, "How did your talk go?"

"No concrete outcomes. I suggested we put this issue on hold and deal with Nelly's situation first."

"Did they agree?"

"Not exactly, but there wasn't any opposition either. Just helped Dailey get someone into a car; they should be home soon."

Jane nodded, "As long as he can come home, that's good."

At least it meant his health was still in check.

If Dailey were to get seriously upset, it would only make matters worse.

"Can Dailey stay with Christine at the hospital?"

Gregory shook his head, "He needs to be at home, keeping an eye on Nelly."

Jane felt uneasy, "But what if Nelly tries to play dirty, like terminating the pregnancy to smear Dailey? Wouldn't it be safer for him to stay at the hospital?"

A cold glint flashed in Gregory's eyes, "I doubt she'll go through with terminating the pregnancy."

"With all the drama lately, Dailey’s been caught in the middle. There's a possibility I haven't shared with him yet."

"What is it?"

Gregory gestured for Jane to come closer and whispered something in her ear.

Jane massaged her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

Gregory gently tapped her forehead twice.

"Stop worrying, we'll know the outcome in a month."

A month felt like an eternity.

So much could happen in a day, let alone a month. Too many variables.

"Do you have any other ideas?" Jane asked. "Is there really no way to recover the hotel's surveillance footage from that night?"

Gregory glanced back into the room, then sat down with Jane, saying, "Can't be sure. Even if it's possible, it would definitely take some time. As for Nelly, I tried probing this morning, but no luck. She hasn't done anything which means she's caught onto my intentions."

"So, we wait."

Jane leaned on Gregory's shoulder, "What a mess, Chris finally finds someone genuine."
