Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 789

Two men stood up in unison, signaling their departure.

But before they could take a step, Jay called out to Dale.

"Let the family doctor have a look at you first."

Greg resumed his meal, sitting back down.

Dale: "..."

Man, you're really like a father to me.

He had no choice but to sit back down.

Jay instructed Abby to fetch the doctor, and Dr. Smith arrived promptly. "Let me check you over, young master."

Dale nodded in agreement.

After a thorough check-up, Dr. Smith inquired about his condition.

Dale simply complained of pain and difficulty hearing.

No matter what Dr. Smith asked, his response remained the same.

Finally, Dr. Smith suggested, "It's best to go to the hospital for an X-ray. Problems with hearing can be minor or severe, but it's not something to take lightly."

The Clarkson family knew all too well that this was Greg covering for Dale, providing him an excuse to visit Christine in the hospital.

And indeed, it was an effective blockade.

But lately, Dale had been bottling up a lot of frustration, leading to physical symptoms, including ear pain.

His health was not to be neglected.

"I'll go with you," Jay stood up.

Dale didn't say a word and walked out first.

Greg, taking his time, wiped his mouth with a napkin before standing up.

Grabbing his coat at the hallway, he strode out with long steps.

By the time Jay had changed shoes and stepped out, the two were nowhere in sight.

Dale's car was still there.

They must have climbed over the wall and taken Greg's car.

She was really at her wit's end.

"I'll give you a ride," Norman offered, seeing Dale's car still parked and Jay hesitating at the door.

Jay asked him, "If in the end, Dale chooses that woman over us, even if it means cutting ties with us, what will you do?"
