Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 785

"Dave, you're still worried about me, aren't you?"

Dave's face remained expressionless. "Take your medicine."

Nelly's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Could you... feed me?"

"No."

Dave's refusal was blunt.

Even if he needed to uncover the deleted surveillance footage from that night through her, he couldn't just change his attitude towards her abruptly.

Given her calculated moves, suspicion was inevitable.

"Leave it here. Whether you drink it or not is up to you. If you don't want this baby, it's not my place to say. It's your right to decide its fate."

With that, Dave left the room.

Nelly stared at the bowl of medicine, lost in thought.

...

In the wee hours, Christine woke up, wanting to head to the bathroom.

Jane quickly came to her aid, asking, "Still feeling dizzy and nauseous?"

"Much better." Christine's voice was hoarse, her steps a bit unsteady. "But this bump on my head sure hurts."

"Lucky you didn't knock yourself silly."

Jane helped her sit on the toilet, casting a glance at her forehead. "That bump's going to take a few days to go down. Just rest up in the hospital for now, and try not to worry about anything."

Christine had intended to nod but suddenly felt dizzy as she lowered her head, quickly grabbing Jane's hand for support.

After a moment, she sighed, "I guess this is a trial most people have to go through. Love makes you vulnerable. Look at you and Greg, and all those melodramas."

Jane disagreed, "Life's full of hardships. Can't expect it to be smooth sailing."

"Your head's not in the right place now. Stop pondering over these things."

Christine agreed, "We knew from the start she was trouble, yet we still got caught off guard."

Jane internally blamed Dave, though she didn't voice it.

After a moment of silence, she asked, "Do you really not consider breaking up with Dave at all?"

Christine laughed, "I know you're worried about me, but if I was scared, nothing would've happened between us that night."

"For now, let's solve each problem as it comes."

"In the end, if there are still insurmountable issues between us, I'll consider breaking up."

It was the first time Jane saw Christine so emotionally invested.

She had been worried about Christine's past relationship with Steven, knowing how dark her past was and how fragile her heart could be under repeated injuries.

But eventually, Christine let go of Steven quite easily.
