In the hospital room, Dailey was carefully peeling an apple for Christine.
The two hadn't spoken much all day.
Yet, everything that needed to be said was understood.
Dailey peeled the apple meticulously, making sure even the smallest bits of peel were gone.
He fed Christine piece by piece.
After she finished the apple, he offered her some water.
Then, he finally spoke up, "Hungry for anything special? I can go grab it for you."
Christine couldn't really shake her head, so she just waved her hand, "You should head back."
...
After a moment of silent understanding, Dailey leaned over and gently kissed her forehead.
"I'm sorry."
Christine reached up to embrace him, patting his back, "You've got nothing to be sorry for."
"It's not about Nelly."
So, it was Madge's harsh words then.
Christine caught on and asked, "Were you at the door when your grandma came?"
"Yeah."
"So, you heard everything."
"I did."
Dailey hugged her tenderly, then suddenly tightened his arms around her as if wishing he could meld her into his very bones.
"I told them, too, I'm sticking by you no matter what."
Christine managed a laugh, "That's all I needed to hear. Now, go on, get back."
"Don't come see me until you've sorted things out."
Dailey let go of her, adjusting her pillow and tucking the blanket around her more snugly.
"Rest up. I'll come see you whenever I get a chance."
"Alright, off you go."
Leaving the room took Dailey what seemed like an eternity, though it was only a few steps to the door.
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson)
This story is useless now. there is no essence. Jane is a whore, at least Bryant never sleep around. There was a misunderstanding between him and his step sister but he never slept with anyone. Bryant should just find a good woman by his side. Jane and Gregory will have a baby. Jane found her biological mother. So what else to be expect in this story?...
Who is the ML ? Hope its Greg.. but I kinda feel pity for Bryant too now.....
