Chapter 818
Primo definitely couldn't hide anything, but he hadn't spilled everything earlier, hoping to let Dailey cool down first.
If he had reported everything as it was, Dailey might have really lost it with Nelly.
But as he was about to speak, Jayne called for the security, to rush Nelly to the hospital.
Dailey, without a glance, signaled Primo to continue.
But Jayne spoke before Primo could: "Dr. Smith said the baby might not make it. You're coming with me to the hospital now." Something clicked in Dailey's mind, and he immediately called Dr. Andrews.
Dr. Andrews had just finished consulting a special case today.
Upon receiving Dailey's call, it took him a moment to react before he arranged for a specialist to come over.
"Having him directly involved in the abortion procedure, we could try to save some tissue for DNA testing."
Hearing this, Dailey asked, "Why didn't you mention this before?"
Dr. Andrews replied, "...Mr. Clarkson, you didn't ask."
True, he hadn't asked.
Ever since he found out about Nelly's pregnancy, he had only inquired about when the DNA test could be done.
He had indeed overlooked this.
"I'm on my way to the hospital."
...
Gregory was about to cuddle up with his wife for the night.
Still, hearing about the situation, he made his way to the hospital.
Finding Dailey, he asked, "Dr. Andrews has arranged for the surgery?"
Dailey nodded.
Gregory pressed on, "Are you sure it was you acting impulsively, not Nelly forcing your hand?"
Dailey hadn't considered this yet; all he wanted was to prove the child wasn't his.
Then he could deal with Nelly once and for all before groveling for Christine's forgiveness.
"Did you really not know about Christine's trip to Mistwood?"
He countered, and Gregory, with an easy shrug and without missing a beat, said, "Had no clue."
Dailey didn't buy it.
But he didn't press further.
Gregory, his brother in arms for so many
cecars, was well-known for bet carefree attitude, except whenit

came to Jane.
"Are you nervous?"
Although Dailey was usually a man of few words, he would engage more when discussing matters.
Today was clearly off, prompting Gregory to ask, "Worried the test might prove it's your kid?"
Dailey hadn't planned to dive into this, but Gregory steered the conversation here.
"I'm worried about Christine. It's
thing for her to clear her head,
fear she might run into trouble

Gregory couldn't help but chuckle, staying there for Dailey.
"It's been more than twenty-four hours. If it was your enemy who took
from you. No news is good news."
er, they'd want so nevet
Dailey fell silent again.
Gregory found it amusing yet frustrating.

"Since you've broken up, her fate shouldn't concern you anymore."
Dailey, with a hand in his pocket, looked towards the operating room.
Gregory leaned against the wall, arms crossed, observing him.
After a while, he offered, "Just a friendly tip, give Christine some space. She's not one for forceful tactics."
Dailey's lips twitched slightly, "She did contact your wife before heading to Mistwood, right?"
Gregory didn't directly answer, "You're not one to be clingy, Mr. Clarkson."
Normand and Jayne were seated on metal chairs nearby, listening in but understanding little.
The only clear thing was Gregory's advice.
They too hoped Dailey would give it a rest, not exhaust resources and manpower searching for Christine. It would be best if Christine never returned to Vista Town.
"Dailey."
Normand spoke, "Have you considered that going all out to find her might actually put her in more danger?"
