    Jane helped her lie down, "Your head is still throbbing; let''s not dwell on this for now. It looks like a dead end, and fretting over it won''t solve anything. At least if you''re physically stronger, you can weather the storm a bit better."


    Christine sprawled out on the hospital bed, letting out a heavy sigh, "This isn''t something I can just tough out."


    "It''s strange, isn''t it? Knowing full well my background could bring trouble to Dailey, and yet, I''ve genuinely fallen for him."


    Suddenly, the door to the room swung open. Jane turned to see Gregory stepping in. She informed Christine and then excused herself from the room.


    Closing the door behind her, she looked up at Gregory, "How did your talk go?"


    "No concrete oues. I suggested we put this issue on hold and deal with Nelly''s situation first."


    "Did they agree?"


    "Not exactly, but there wasn''t any opposition either. Just helped Dailey get someone into a car; they should be home soon."


    Jane nodded, "As long as he cane home, that''s good."


    At least it meant his health was still in check.


    If Dailey were to get seriously upset, it would only make matters worse.


    "Can Dailey stay with Christine at the hospital?"


    Gregory shook his head, "He needs to be at home, keeping an eye on Nelly."


    Jane felt uneasy, "But what if Nelly tries to y dirty, like terminating the pregnancy to smear Dailey? Wouldn''t it be safer for him to stay at the hospital?"


    A cold glint shed in Gregory''s eyes, "I doubt she''ll go through with terminating the pregnancy."


    "With all the dramately, Dailey''s been caught in the middle. There''s a possibility I haven''t shared with him yet."


    "What is it?"


    Gregory gestured for Jane toe closer and whispered something in her ear.


    Jane was shocked, "Can that even work? Is there any scientific basis for it?"


    "It''s just a theory."


    "A theory? Are there any sessful cases? Have you consulted Dr. Andrews about it?"


    Gregory ced a finger to his lips, shushing her.


    "Honey, if you keep talking like this, the whole world is going to find out."


    Jane had never heard of such a thing and struggled to calm down.


    But she lowered her voice, "If what you''re suggesting is possible, and it turns out to be Dailey''s child, would the rkson family force Nelly and Dailey to marry?"


    "No," Gregory shook his head. "If that were the case, it would be better for Dailey and Christine to try for their own child." "Right..."


    "The rkson family clearly had other marriage ns in mind. With Nelly''s scheming, initially, the godmother was considering keeping her. But once the baby is born, they''ll likely and everything over to Dailey to deal with. Keeping her would be like keeping a ticking time bomb, potentially jeopardizing Dailey''s arranged marriage."


    Jane massaged her temples, feeling a headacheing on.


    Gregory gently tapped her forehead twice.


    "Stop worrying, we''ll know the oue in a month."


    A month felt like an eternity.


    So much could happen in a day, let alone a month. Too many variables.


    "Do you have any other ideas?" Jane asked. "Is there really no way to recover the hotel''s surveince footage from that night?"


    Gregory nced back into the room,


    then sat down with Jane, saying,


    "Can''t be sure. Even if it''s possible, it would definitely take some time.


    for Nelly, I tried probing this

    morning, but no luck. She hasn''t done anything which means she''s caught onto my intentions."


    "So, we wait."


    Jane leaned on Gregory''s shoulder, "What a mess, Chris finally finds someone genuine."
