Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 743

Nelly's threats couldn't even make Zoe flinch.

Even if the truth came to light, she was determined to drag them down with her.

What did she have to fear, standing alone?

Either Dailey would become her husband, or Christine would take a one-way trip to the afterlife with her.

Wasn't it all about love? Well, let's see how they'd love when separated by life and death.

"Dai..."

No matter how many sinister thoughts Nelly harbored, her anger never reached her face.

Her pale complexion, coupled with tearful eyes, was pitiful to behold.

"I'm not asking you to take responsibility," she said, "I know things between you and Ms. Jackson have just started to blossom, and I know how much you like her. I'm not trying to wreck your happiness, but what happened last night wasn't my intention. I tried to resist, but I couldn't push you away."

"If I could have, I wouldn’t be hurt now..."

Dailey's memories were all fuzzy, stopping right after his encounter with Christine.

Waking up next to Nelly without any recollection puzzled him.

He didn't think himself capable of such beastliness, even under the influence.

But without any surveillance footage, nothing could be proven.

Of course, he didn't fully trust Nelly's words either.

"Sir."

Primo entered with a female doctor.

Dailey got up and left.

Primo followed closely, making sure to close the door behind them.

Christine received a picture from Merritt; he was on a plane.

She wasn't worried about him escaping; after all, he still had his grandmother, and Dailey had people watching over her.

For now, he could do whatever; once the surveillance was fixed and the truth revealed, she'd be the first to not let him off.

Knock, knock—
