Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 779

Otherwise, Dailey wouldn't have been oblivious to his phone being confiscated.

Getting tangled up with the Clarksons for so long, he missed Christine's distress call.

This was turning into a serious mess.

Normally, he'd kick up a fuss over the slightest thing, but now he was unusually quiet.

Jane glanced at him, then took a step closer to Merritt.

“What video?”

Merritt handed Christine's phone to Jane.

Jane hadn't seen Christine's phone, assuming the situation was so dire it was left at home.

Turns out Merritt had it.

Instead of watching it first, she said to Dailey, “Let Chris rest first, she's got a concussion.”

Dailey hurriedly helped Christine lie down, tucking her in comfortably.

He then sat beside the bed, keeping her IV fluids warm.

Only then did Jane play the video.

She shut it off right after the beginning but the room, having just fallen silent, allowed some sounds to leak through.

Gregory muttered a curse under his breath, unable to meet Jane's gaze.

Jane asked Dailey, “Can you explain this to Chris?”

Dailey hadn't planned on keeping this from Christine.

The video showed no signs of tampering, but if Nelly had tricked him, it wasn't his fault.

Most importantly, Christine shouldn't get the wrong idea and be upset over it.

He told the truth.

After listening, Jane's expression darkened slightly.

“No signs of tampering, so there's no way to prove the child isn't yours? How do we solve this?”

“We will,” Dailey said confidently, “I'll handle it.”

Jane replied, “Handle it? So, wait until the baby is born for a DNA test. But with Nelly's scheming, she probably won't let you. So, you'll have to play along, keep an eye on her until it's possible to do the test, right?”

The couple seemed more alike with each passing moment.

Dailey looked at Gregory, who avoided his gaze.
