Chapter 796

In the hospital room, Dailey was carefully peeling an apple for Christine.

The two hadn't spoken much all day.

Yet, everything that needed to be said was understood.

Dailey peeled the apple meticulously, making sure even the smallest bits of peel were gone.

He fed Christine piece by piece.

After she finished the apple, he offered her swater.

Then, he finally spoke up, "Hungry for anything special? | can go grab it for you."

Christine couldn't really shake her head, so she just waved her hand, "You should head back."

After a moment of silent understanding, Dailey leaned over and gently kissed her forehead.

"I'm sorry."

Christine reached up to embrace him, patting his back, "You've got nothing to be sorry for."

"It's not about Nelly."

So, it was Madge's harsh words then.

Christine caught on and asked, "Were you at the door when your grandma came?"

"Yeah."

"So, you heard everything."

"I did."

Dailey hugged her tenderly, then suddenly tightened his arms around her as if wishing he could meld her into his

very bones.

"| told them, too, I'm sticking by you no matter what."

Christine managed a laugh, "That's all | needed to hear. Now, go on, get back."

"Don't cseeuntil you've sorted things out."

Dailey let go of her, adjusting her pillow and tucking the blanket around her more snugly.

"Rest up. I'll csee you whenever | get a chance."

"Alright, off you go."

Leaving the room took Dailey what seemed like an eternity, though it was only a few steps to the door.

Christine turned away, wiping a tear from her eye as Dailey left the room.

Gregory was about to head to the office, which was conveniently on the way to drop Dailey off.

Before leaving, Gregory turned to Jane: "I'll cby again in the evening."

Jane nodded, returning to the room once they were in the elevator.

Sitting next to Christine, who was still turned away, Jane broke the silence, "Sneaking tears when you're alone?"

Christine dabbed at her eyes before facing her, "Who's crying? Not me."

"Sure, and puppies don't whimper."

Jane unwrapped a tootsie roll, popping it into Christine's mouth. "Don't fret over things. Just focus on resting."

Once they were in the car, Gregory handed Dailey a bottle of water.

No sooner had Dailey taken a sip than Gregory dropped a bombshell, "I have a suspicion... That child

Nelly's carrying might be Chile

Coughing violently, Dailey spat out his water.

Gregory, having anticipated the

reaction, dodged the spray, eyeing the now stained leather seats, "You're covering the cleaning bill."

"That's your takeaway?!"

Dailey took a deep breath, "What do you mean 'you suspect'? Nelly's child, mine?"

"I'd know if I'd been with someone, even if she used drugs, mushrooms, or skind of voodoo on me, |

wouldn't touch her."

Gregory crossed his arms, his gaze dark, "What if she touched you without you reacting?"

Dailey bristled, "I wouldn't be turned on by her."

It seemed Gregory believed him, nodding slightly.

"Ever heard of someone taking a sperm sample to get artificially inseminated?"

It took Dailey about five minutes to process that.

"Are you speaking English?"

Gregory: "You heard me."

"And understood."

"But..."

Dailey

frustran a hand through his hair in

, "I've had people watching

her, how did she manage to get artificially inseminated?"
