    Greg''s eyes turned a shade colder, "If she finds a way to get rid of the baby after the wedding, then it''s not yours. If she doesn''t, then it''s definitely yours."


    Dailey couldn''t help butugh, "Let me ask you something, if you were in the same boat, would you use this tactic?"


    Greg leaned back in his chair, his casual tone piercing straight to the heart, "I wouldn''t let such a situation happen in the first ce."


    ...


    Hospital.


    After getting her IV removed, Christine was ready to leave the hospital.


    She didn''t fancy staying any longer, risking more unwanted conversations.


    Back in her cozy apartment, she felt her spirits lifting. Maybe all she needed was to be home to start feeling better.


    "Did you start cooking?"


    Jane went to pour her a ss of water, noticing the kitchen was filled with new utensils and the fridge was stocked full.


    "If I remember correctly, you couldn''t cook to save your life."


    "Nice way to put it."


    Christine leaned against the doorframe, sipping on a yogurt drink, "Dailey cooks, I do the dishes."


    Jane was surprised, "You''re doing dishes?"


    "I thought you hated the feel of grease on your hands."


    "And didn''t you install a dishwasher for that very reason?"


    Jane could never understand why Christine would bother getting a dishwasher if she didn''t cook.


    It seemed pointless then. But now, it was hard to argue.


    "It looks like you two are getting along well, in every aspect."


    Christine tossed the yogurt container in the trash and rubbed her face, her voice unusually low, "Jane,ing home, I suddenly feel..."


    Knowing each other for years, even Christine''s hesitations were clear to Jane.


    Jane hugged her, gently patting her back, "Chris, you''ve walked through tougher paths before. I believe you''ll do even better now and in the future, and I''ll always be here with you."


    Just like before.


    Christine smiled, "Worried I might do something drastic?"


    "Don''t you dare."


    Though Jane''s words were light, her embrace tightened.


    After a moment, Christine pulled away, candidly saying, "I just meant, I felt suffocated in the hospital.


    Being home feels so much better. As for the road ahead, it''s tough, but at least I''m not walking it alone, and that makes me happy."


    Hearing this, Jane rxed and handed her a ss of water, "Drink up. Lucius will probably drop off dinner soon."


    Originally, she had thought of ordering takeout, but Greg would have none of it.


    Just then, the doorbell rang.


    It wasn''t just Lucius at the door, but Primo too.


    "Mrs. Ford."


    "Here for dinner?"


    Primo respectfully replied, "Yes, the young master sent me. It''s all of Ms. Jackson''s favorites."


    "I''ll take it."


    Jane took the meals from their hands, "Thanks for the trouble."


    "It''s our duty."


    Lucius clearly had other matters to attend to and left promptly.


    Primo stepped aside, standing upright.


    Jane didn''t inquire further, guessing Dailey must have found out

    Christine was discharged and sent his trusted man to ensure she wasn''t disturbed.


    She walked in, teasing Christine with the meal Primo brought, "Your love meal."


    Christine shot her a look, "Like you''re any different."

    Christine smiled too.


    Taking a bite of the meal Dailey had sent over, she still thought his cooking was the best.
