Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 763

"Don't worry about it. And hey, stop overthinking things, will you?"

"You know me, I've always been pretty laid back."

Jane didn't say it, but if Christine was really that laid back, she wouldn't have ended up on the rooftop that time.

"Text me when you get home, alright?"

A week later, Caldwell was discharged from the hospital and back home.

Christine received a text from Dailey saying he was coming over.

They had been texting sporadically over the days, mostly updates through Jane.

Knowing Caldwell was okay made her happy, and on a whim, she decided to hit the grocery store to pick up some ingredients, planning to cook something up.

She had failed before, but you know what they say-third time's a charm.

This time, she was determined to whip up something edible.

But she overestimated herself again.

As Dailey reached her door, he was greeted by the shrill sound of a smoke alarm.

Thinking it might be a gas leak, he didn't bother knocking and used the door code Christine had given him.

Upon entering, he was met with billowing smoke, making it hard for him to see.
