Lost Me Gained Regret



Gregory raised an eyebrow in agreement, "True, you've made quite a few enemies. Not reaching out to her is probably the best way to protect her." Dailey's thoughts drifted to that time Christine nearly drowned.

If he were to call upon his contacts to find Christine, it would only put her in danger, an undeniable truth.

With the buzz around his wedding to Nelly already stirring curiosity, cancelling it now and then making a show of searching for Christine would only turn all eyes on her.

After much thought, he spoke up, decisively, "Mom, the wedding will go on as planned."

Jayne: ?

Normand was equally puzzled, "Why the sudden decision to proceed with the wedding?"

Dailey's urgency for Dr. Andrews to conduct a DNA test was a clear sign he wanted to sever ties with Nelly as soon as possible.

They were relieved, thinking Dailey breaking up with Christine and resolving the issue with Nelly would allow them to quickly find him a more suitable match.

So why proceed with the wedding to Nelly?

Gregory was the only one who understood Dailey's actions.

It was Normand's comment that had sparked the idea.

He feared Christine would be targeted by his enemies, so he used Nelly as a decoy to divert attention and let Nelly face her own karma.

It was a way to avoid getting his hands dirty and also to quench the Clarkson family's eagerness to find him a match.

Three birds with one stone.

Gregory smirked, "A wedding sounds great. I do love a good show, and I'll make sure to bring you a grand gift on your big day."

An understanding passed between them.

Normand wanted to ask more, but the doors to the operating room swung open, and the doctor emerged.

Jayne stepped forward first.

Dailey remained still, while Gregory leaned casually against the wall.

Normand took a step toward them.

"How did it go?"

The doctor, addressing Jayne and Normand, kept his gaze on Dailey.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"The procedure went well, no issues. The sample has been collected, and I'm off to run the DNA test. However, there's something I, as a doctor, must mention."

Normand: "Please, go ahead."

Dr. Andrews: "Her uterine wall is thin,

a condition that's not favorable. This miscarriage has also caused

significant damage, making future pregnancies highly unlikely, even with extensive care and body conditioning."

This was something Dr. Smith had already discussed with them. Jayne was prepared for it.

Moreover, since Dailey was

proceeding with the wedding, even if Nelly used this to threaten him there wasn't much she could demand.

It boiled down to marrying him, after all.

"Thank you, Dr. Andrews, for your efforts."

"It's what I do."

After Dr. Andrews left, Jayne asked Dailey, "Are you seriously going

through with the wedding to

Dailey nodded.

Jayne's expression darkened, "You're not actually considering making it official, are you?"

"We'll see."

Dailey gestured, and Primo stepped forward.

He instructed, "Take my parents home."

Jayne wanted to say more, but Dailey didn't give her the chance.

"Mom, Dad, it's late. You should rest."

Without further words, Jayne and Normand left.

They needed to mull over the wedding situation.

It wasn't that they couldn't intervene.

But making a scene would tarnish the Clarkson family's reputation.

If Dailey had refused to marry Nelly, they could have found excuses.

But now that Dailey agreed to the wedding, it complicated things.

"Have you figured out why our son is doing this?" Normand finally asked.

He hadn't understood at first, but now he had an inkling.

"He's probably protecting Christine."

Jayne was confused, "Does that mean they haven't really broken up?"

Normand nodded, “It's likely not a real breakup. Maybe it's all part of a plan.”
