Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 714



Nelly rolled her eyes in frustration.

If he didn't come in, wasn't her dramatic fall just a waste? It freaking hurt.

She continued in a whiny voice, "Dai, am I never going to be able to paint again? I can't even move my arm... Oh, Dai, if I can't paint anymore, how am I supposed to live..."

Dailey could only respond, "Don't worry, I won't let you starve. Plus, you haven't even seen a doctor yet. Don't scare yourself; it'll be okay."

She was practically at her wit's end with him.

Just as she was about to coax Dailey further, she heard someone outside say, "Sir, the doctor has arrived."

Great. All her suffering today seemed in vain.

But no matter, Nelly quelled her frustration, already plotting her next move.

"How is it?"

Dailey stood aside, avoiding direct eye contact, and asked as soon as the female doctor came out after a short while.

"It's quite serious. She needs to go to the hospital for an X-ray. If it's a fracture, surgery might be necessary. The wound in her palm seems minor, though."

Dailey simply nodded, "Get her dressed, we're going to the hospital."

Christine listened to Merritt's foolproof plan to definitively rid herself of Dailey.

It sounded feasible, yet not.

While she pondered, her phone pinged with a message.

Opening it, she found several photos from a clerk.

Clerk: [Ms. Jackson, my mom's having a minor surgery soon, and I was at the hospital with her. Just saw Mr. Clarkson escorting a woman here, they were holding hands real tight]

Nelly wasn't about to let her efforts today go unrewarded, gripping Dailey's hand with her good one.

In such moments, Dailey couldn't just pull away.

As expected.

Noticing they were being photographed, she even tightened her grip. Having grown up together, Dailey still harbored a sense of compassion. Thinking she was in pain, he even gently patted her hand to comfort her. Little did he know, this moment would be captured and sent to Christine.

After seeing the photos, Christine sent the clerk a generous tip, replying: [Take good care of your mom, buy her plenty of nutritional supplements. I've been too busy to visit, sorry.]

The clerk sent back a kneeling thank you emoji.

Christine put down her phone, taking a big gulp of her cold beer. Then to Merritt, she said, "I'm in for your plan."

Nelly, lying on the bed, called out after a couple of minutes, "Dai, I'm thirsty."

Dailey got up to give her water.

Nelly seized his hand again.

During the CT scan, they had to let go, but now she managed to grab it back.

Dailey's lips tightened, but he didn't comment, simply pulling a chair closer to sit by the bed.

The doctor rushed in with news.

"Mr. Clarkson, Ms. Lindsay's arm isn't broken."

Dailey breathed a sigh of relief. Although it wasn't his concern, the accident happened at his place.

If his mom found out, he'd never hear the end of it.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"Don't worry, with proper treatment, it won't affect her ability to paint in the future.”

Dailey paused for a moment, "Understood."

As the doctor left, Nelly suddenly let go of Dailey's hand.
