Otherwise, Dailey wouldn't have been oblivious to his phone being confiscated.

Getting tangled up with the Clarksons for so long, he missed Christine's distress call. This was turning into a

serious mess.

Normally, he'd kick up a fuss over the slightest thing, but now he was unusually quiet. Jane glanced at him, then

took a step closer to Merritt.

""What video?"

Merritt handed Christine's phone to Jane.

Jane hadn't seen Christine's phone, assuming the situation was so dire it was left at home.

Turns out Merritt had it.

Instead of watching it first, she said to Dailey, "Let Chris rest first, she's got a concussion."

Dailey hurriedly helped Christine lie down, tucking her in comfortably.

He then sat beside the bed, keeping her IV fluids warm.

Only then did Jane play the video.

She shut it off right after the beginning but the room, having just fallen silent, allowed ssounds to leak

through.

Gregory muttered a curse under his breath, unable to meet Jane's gaze.

Jane asked Dailey, "Can you explain this to Chris?"

Dailey hadn't planned on keeping this from Christine.

The video showed no signs of tampering, but if Nelly had tricked him, it wasn't his fault.

Most importantly, Christine shouldn't get the wrong idea and be upset over it.

He told the truth.

After listening, Jane's expression darkened slightly.

"No signs of tampering, so there's no way to prove the child isn't yours? How do we solve this?"

"We will," Dailey said confidently, "I'll handle it."

Jane replied, "Handle it? So, wait until the baby is born for a DNA test. But with Nelly's scheming, she probably

won't let you. So, you'll have to play along, keep an eye on her until it's possible to do the test, right?" The

couple seemed more alike with each passing moment.

Dailey looked at Gregory, who avoided his gaze.

He nodded, "Exactly."

Jane got it, cutting to the chase, "So, Chris has to suffer for a while."

"Let's separate for now."

Dailey immediately objected, "No separation."

Jane looked towards Gregory.

Gregory sighed.

He shouldn't have been just an observer.

Now he was dragged into the .

"Look, Christine needs to recover, and you won't be able to focus with the Clarksons breathing down your neck.

Plus, she and Jane's company are launching their winter line. A little tapart won't hurt."

"It's not like we're saying you should break up."

Jane didn't mean that, but she didn't correct Gregory either.

Whether they break up or not wasn't her call.

"Once Chris is better, we'll ask her, then make a final decision."

But before Christine could recover, the Clarksons forced Dailey to return.

Nelly was having pregnancy issues.

Caldwell waited for Dailey right at the hospital door.

Dailey, without his phone, couldn't be reached. Gregory, even if he could take calls, would cover for Dailey.

He had no choice but to come.

The elders illness had just improved; there he was, waiting at the door.

Dailey couldn't just leave.

Especially not with Nelly's child at stake.

"Protecting the child to prove it's not yours, Mr. Clarkson, isn't it ironic?"

Merritt followed him out, whispering to Dailey.

Dailey had no intention of arguing with Merritt, simply saying, "When the evidence comes out, and Christine

learns you conspired with Nelly against her, she won't care about you anymore. And | won't let you off either."

Merritt said nothing, turning back into the hospital room.

He had made mistakes, and he would own up to them.

But compared to Dailey's, his were minor.
