Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 826

Nelly truly hadn't expected Dailey to show up at her hospital room.

Yet, she couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh soon after.

For Christine, Dailey seemed willing to do just about anything.

"Dailey, I don't want to marry you."

Dailey was busy carving an apple, the knife dancing between his slender fingers, leaving an intricate pattern on the fruit.

All Nelly saw was something resembling a girl's face carved on it, but she didn't know what exactly it was, nor did she care.

"I know you want me to be your shield, to protect Christine, but I don't want that."

Dailey placed the apple on a nearby plate, his pale fingers still holding the knife, a cold light flickering off its edge.

"What, is it not the time you desperately wanted to marry me?" Dailey's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. "Marrying me was always going to come at a steep price." "Too bad you realized too late."

Nelly laughed, and then she started crying, "Dailey, when did I fail to see how cruel your heart could be?"
