Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 792

Who knew I'd actually start to care, ready to go all in now.

"Madge, I'll spare you the pretty words and high-minded talk. It was on me for not keeping a closer eye on Nelly, and I own up to that."

"As for me and Dailey, we're inseparable at this point. No need to waste your breath trying to convince me otherwise. As for the future, who knows? Tomorrow or some twist of fate might come first, but I'm living in the now."

"I can't really help Dailey with his business, but I won't be a thorn in his side either, not like Nelly was, pushing him to the point of annoyance and putting him in a tough spot."

Christine paused there.

When she spoke again, her voice was dead serious.

"Madge, if the day comes when someone's pointing a gun at my head, trying to force Dailey to do something, rest assured, I won't make it hard for him."

"That's all I've got to say on the matter."

"My head's killing me. You can see yourself out."

Madge looked at Christine for a long half minute before standing up to leave.

She didn't believe in love strong enough to die for.

In her book, relationships were all about mutual benefit. That's what made them solid.

"Grandma."

As Madge opened the door to the hospital room, there stood Dailey, unsurprised.

If such trivial schemes could fool him, how could he ever shoulder the entire Clarkson legacy?

"Heard everything?"

Dailey closed the door behind him, supporting his grandmother as they walked towards his grandfather's room, nodding. "You should stop making grandpa come to the hospital in this freezing weather. If he really gets sick, you'll be the one crying."
