Lost Me Gained Regret



She chuckled softly as she took the smartphone, "Does Mr. Ford have any instructions?"

Gregory glanced behind her, "Give us a twirl."

Jane shot him a look, "I'm off to the set, as if you didn't know."

His people were everywhere on this floor.

Gregory's lips curved into a small smile, "My wife is so clever."

Jane noticed he was still in the car, "Don't tell me you really can't get through the main gates?"

Gregory chuckled, his voice always laced with confidence, "Just waiting for the right moment."

"You eat. I'll hang up now."

"Sure."

Jane handed the smartphone back to Lucius, saying, "You do your thing. I can handle my meals, or you can arrange for someone else to deliver them."

Lucius was the kind of person who could do the work of ten, a rare gem. There was no need for him to be doing something as trivial as meal delivery. Gregory had sent Lucius because he was worried.

Even a personally trained bodyguard wouldn't do.

When it came to Jane, he was always careful, having learned too many lessons in the past.

The situation with Dailey had only deepened that caution.

"Don't worry, ma'am. It won't be a bother. I'll manage my time well," Lucius said with a polite and gentle smile. "As long as everything goes smoothly on your end, Greg can handle any issues without trouble."

With that said, Jane had nothing more to add.

"Chris isn't feeling up to eating either. You might as well have some since you brought so much."

Lucius waved it off, "I've already eaten. I don't eat late-night snacks."

Not insisting further, Jane settled onto the couch to enjoy her meal alone.

Lucius stepped out to make a call.

Meanwhile, at the Clarkson estate.

The perimeter was tightly secured, and the main gate was manned. Gregory's straightforward entry was out of the question.

The Clarkson estate was sealed tighter than a drum.

The family doctor and his team, who had been with them for years, were checking on Nelly.

"How is she, Dr. Smith?"

After putting away his equipment,

Dr. Smith replied, "Madam, Ms. Lindsay is experiencing severe emotional fluctuations, which led some distress and a minor miscarriage. The first three mont are critical, and it's essential to keep the expectant mother in a joyful and peaceful state of mind, especially avoiding any severe anger." novelbin

That was easier said than done, considering how Nelly had become pregnant and the Clarkson family's current doubts about the child's paternity. Everyone was waiting for the day they could confirm the baby's DNA.

As for Dailey, his heart was with Christine, not Nelly, making it unlikely he'd sincerely try to cheer Nelly up.

Still, Jayne said, "Thank you, Dr. Smith. I'll take great care to remember that."

Dr. Smith responded, "You're too kind, madam."

Once Dr. Smith and his team had left, Jayne glanced at Dailey standing aside, "You heard him."

Dailey heard every word but showed no interest in cooperating.

Without waiting for his response, Jayne stepped closer, "You have to deal with the consequences of your actions. You know the impact this

child's loss would have on you."

"Either you shouldn't have let it happen in the first place, or now, you need to manage your temper until we see the results."

At that moment, Nelly woke up.

Her first words were, "Dai..."

Jayne motioned for Dailey to go to her.

Reluctantly, Dailey moved toward her.

The rest of the Clarkson family left the room, and when Jayne was about to close the door, he stopped her, "Leave it open." Jayne complied.

"Dai..."

Nelly reached out to Dailey, "Could you help me up? I'm thirsty and want some water."

Naturally, Dailey was far from willing, his face cold as he called Abigail over instead.
