Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 762

Chris bolted upright from her bed as if shot from a cannon, the urgency of her grandfather's hospitalization propelling her into action. She quickly freshened up, threw on clothes, and hailed a cab to the hospital without missing a beat. Upon arrival, she dialed Jane, who, along with Gregory, was already there. After a brief exchange, Jane promised to come downstairs to meet her.

Chris paced quickly towards Jane, anxiety etched across her face, "What's going on?"

"It's just his age catching up, got a bit too stressed and took a tumble," Jane explained.

Chris bit her lip, worry evident in her tone, "Is it because of me and Dailey?"

Jane shook her head, "Not entirely. Don't beat yourself up over it. Nelly's drama added to the stress too. If you want to see Dailey, I'll talk to Gregory. We have to keep it under wraps from the Clarksons for now, can't let Caldwell catch wind." "The news about Caldwell's condition is on lockdown, so I can't take you up there just yet, I'm sorry."

Firstly, there was Caldwell's status to consider.

Secondly, despite Jane being Chris's best friend, this was a Clarkson family issue, and she wasn't in a position to make decisions on their behalf.

Given the Clarksons' current stance, it was probably for the best that Chris kept her distance.
