Chapter 742 Merritt was on the verge of blurting out the truth, the words almost tumbling from his lips.

But, in the end, he held back.

So what if Christine misunderstood him, refusing even friendship? As long as she saw Dailey for who he really was, she'd understand Merritt's actions eventually.

"Alright, I'll listen to you, sis. I'm leaving now." Through the door that separated them, the soundproofing of the penthouse did its job well, preventing Dailey from hearing anything. He kept glancing at his watch, feeling tstretch too long.

Just as he was about to knock, the door swung open, and he saw Merritt, suitcase in hand, making his exit. Christine followed shortly after.

"How did it go?" Dailey asked, taking her suitcase with a gentle tone in his voice.

At that, Gregory, who had been listening, strode off to find Jane, giving them sspace.

Christine was about to answer when the door across the hall opened. Nelly stood there, looking distraught and on the verge of tears. "Dai, I feel terrible..." Dailey didn't move, but he asked, "What's wrong?" Nelly seemed unable to speak, her lips quivering as she struggled to find the words.

Christine took her suitcase back and walked towards the end of the hallway. Dailey wanted to follow, but Nelly collapsed at his feet.

He could only watch as Christine's figure disappeared into a room at the end of the corridor, leaving no direct evidence pointing to Nelly's claim. Even with suspicions, he couldn't just ignore her. "Primo." Dailey called one of his men to help Nelly into a room. But as Primo bent down, Nelly clung to Dailey's leg, crying, "Dai, it hurts so much..." Dailey, concerned, crouched to ask, "Where does it hurt?" Considering her previous attempt at self-harm, he was quick to intervene then, and it wouldn't have caused her physical pain now.

"I..." Nelly's lips were white, gripping Dailey's pant leg, yet she couldn't articulate her pain.

Dailey, realizing something, instructed Primo, "Get a female doctor." Primo hurried off as Dailey lifted Nelly. Gregory, exiting Bella's room, saw them but it was too late to hide. Jane, following Gregory, witnessed scene as well.

"Don't misunderstand," Dailey quickly explained, "she's practically family." Meaning: he couldn't just abandon her.

Jane frowned slightly, but before she could speak, Gregory interjected, "Are you short on help?" Dailey paused for a moment before telling Jane, "Don't mention this to Christine. I don't want any misunderstandings." After handing Nelly off to another one of his men, she clung to him, seemingly delirious, repeating, "Dai, it hurts..." With no choice, Dailey rushed into the room to set her down.

Keeping her in his arms in the hallway risked Christine seeing them. Yet, even as he placed her on the bed, Nelly wouldn't let go, her eyes brimming with tears. "Dai, it's that... maybe from last night, you know..." Seeing his expression change, she

quickly added, "Dai, I'm not asking you to take responsibility or anything, but I didn't know who else to turn to... It's my first time. I'm just so confused..."

Dailey pulled away from her grasp his voice growing colder, "Nelly, mym But family might owe you, but if you're lying about this, don't expectto overlook it because of that Nelly had always been tough as nails, ready for anything.
