Gregory grunted in agreement.
Dailey asked, "To make her sweat a bit first?"
"It's the only way to see her true colors." Gregory closed his eyes again. "With her cunning, she wouldn't dare
make a move with your guys on her tail."
"Right now, her focus is on the kid. She won't reach out to Merritt either. So, the best move is to let her trip over
her own feet."
Nelly indeed overheard what Gregory said, but she knew him well enough to understand that his words often had
a deeper meaning, potentially a dangerous trap.
For now, she couldn't afford to panic first.
The surveillance footage from the escape room, which she had obtained from the owner upon leaving, didn't
capture her conversation with Merritt. She could easily explain it away as a random encounter during the game.
Yet, for sreason, hearing it from Gregory unsettled her.
She pulled an old flip phone from under her bed, was about to turn it on, but then decided against it, putting it
back.
Glancing at the clutter on the floor, she called for the housekeeper to clean up her room.

Madge entered right as the housekeeper was tidying up and asked, "What happened?"
Nelly forced a smile, "Just a little clumsy, knocked sstuff over."
Madge had watched Nelly grow up and could sense something was off but chose not to pry under the
circumstances.
"If you're feeling unwell because of the pregnancy, just let Abigail know. She'll take care of you these days."
"Thanks, Grandma."
Madge waved her off and left to find Caldwell playing chess in the backyard, urging him to go to the hospital.
Caldwell asked, "Dailey's probably already there. What are we going to do?"
"Get admitted."
"What?"
It took a moment for Caldwell to catch on, "Who's getting admitted?" "You."
Dailey had just reached Christine's hospital room when his phone rang.
It was his grandmother calling.
She should be at hat this hour. Could it be Nelly stirring up trouble again? "Hello, Grandma."
Madge cut to the chase, "Get to room V808. Your grandpa's been admitted."
Dailey sighed, "Grandma, that's a bit far-fetched."
Madge simply hung up.
As Dailey lowered his phone, he saw Jayne rushing towards him.
Without a word, she pulled him along, "Con, your grandpa's been admitted."
Jane emerged from the room and was surprised to see Gregory waiting outside. "How's Christine?" Gregory
inquired.
Jane replied, "She's on the phone now. No more nausea, just a headache."

A flicker of something passed through Gregory's eyes as he mentioned, "Caldwell's been admitted too, on this
floor. Let's go check on him."
Jane frowned slightly, "Did you have a row with him yesterday?"
Gregory looped an arm around Jane's neck, "If | had been mad at him last night, he'd have been in the hospital
then."
"I'll tell you..."
He whispered in her ear.

After listening, Jane sighed, "Poor them, coming up with an excuse like that."
"Give them a chance. Madge is reasonable. Let her have a talk."
Jane gave him a playful look, chuckling

Gregory laughed, ruffling her hair, "Just cutting to the chase."
Jane teased, "Just so you know, if Chris suffers because of this, you're in for it."
