Lost Me Gained Regret

Dailey's head was pounding, a sharp contrast to how he felt after chugging a bottle of water earlier, thinking it would help. Now, his blood pressure seemed to skyrocket with frustration, blurring his vision slightly. He was about to say something when Christine yanked her hand away from his grip.

He reached for her again, only to grasp at thin air.

Then, suddenly, the world went dark, and he collapsed straight to the ground.

Instinctively, Christine reached out to catch him!

It wasn't because he was Dailey; she would've done the same for anyone collapsing in front of her.

"Quit playing, get up or I'm letting go. You'll face-plant right into the dirt, and don't you dare blame me for it!"

Christine threatened to release her hold, sensing Dailey was genuinely about to fall.

Gritting her teeth, she managed to support him, despite her strength being limited. She called out to Merritt, "Lend me a hand here."

Merritt was reluctant but took Dailey from Christine's arms, tempted for a moment to just drop him.

But he couldn't ruin his image in front of Christine.

"Chris, what's wrong with him?"

Christine touched Dailey's forehead.

Wow!

He was burning up.

How long has it been, and he's still running a fever?

And he hasn't been treated at a hospital yet? Does he want to end up with pneumonia or something worse? "Merritt, looks like we need to get him to the hospital."
