Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 744

Christine's laughter filled the air, light and carefree.

Jane caught that smile and felt a sudden understanding, as if all was laid bare in that moment. Meanwhile, on the other side of the house.

The family doctor stepped out of the room, her demeanor respectful as she reported to Dailey, "Mr. Clarkson, there's a bit of a tear and some swelling, but nothing too severe. I've prescribed some ointment; a few days of application should do the trick. Just avoid baths for a bit, wipe down if you sweat, and no strenuous exercise or swimming in the ocean for now."

Dailey nodded, silently signaling for Primo to show the doctor out.

He made to leave but was stopped by the sudden opening of the bedroom door.

Nelly peeked out, her voice timid, "Dai, I... I can't see well enough to apply the ointment."

Dailey's face remained impassive. "Didn't the doctor do it just now?"

Silence.

Nelly quickly added, "What about the next few days?"

Dailey's reply was cold, "I'll arrange for someone."

With that, he strode away, leaving Nelly to drop her façade, her face twisting into a snarl of frustration.

...

Reaching the end of the corridor, Dailey saw Gregory waiting and knew instantly that Jane must have told Christine about the earlier incident. The accumulation of events from the night and day had already left him on edge. Seeing Gregory only added to his irritation.
