Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 715



"Danny..."

Her voice was laced with a pitiful choke, "I never wanted to be a bother, but I've got no family left. If you can't be there for me, then I guess it's up to Auntie Karen to take care of me. I just don't want to be alone at a time like this."

"Even though it's just a minor injury, I'm still pretty scared."

"I hate being in the hospital by myself, you know that."

Nelly had returned from abroad because her grandfather was critically ill.

Most of her time lately had been spent caring for him in the hospital, which is how she ended up in his ward.

Her grandfather had been Caldwell's chauffeur his whole life. Plus, Caldwell had sent her abroad for such a long time, keeping her away from her grandfather for so many years, depriving them of time together.

So, he was given treatment in a VIP ward.

But it wasn't long before he passed away.

Having faced tough times abroad already, Nelly found it especially hard to say goodbye to her grandfather in a place reeking of disinfectant. Moreover, she and her grandfather had only had each other, making the hospital an even lonelier place for her after he was gone.

But thanks to Dailey, she had visited quite a few times.

Dailey felt guilty about Nelly.

If it weren't for him, her grandfather might not have sent Nelly abroad.

Even though he had tried to explain, her grandfather wouldn't listen and was adamant about sending her away.

"Just rest, I'll stay here with you," he assured her.

Nelly's eyes lit up, brimming with tears, her frail body buried in the blankets, her pale face almost blending with the white linen, looking as pitiful as a homeless puppy waiting for a kind soul to take care of her.

"Danny, you really won't leave me?"

Dailey couldn't help but soften his voice, "Yeah, I won't leave."

Nelly closed her eyes, content for the moment.

Even if he left later, today's mission was accomplished.

It wasn't for nothing that she ended up with a fractured arm.

When I woke up the next day, Gregory's side of the bed was already cold, indicating he had left early.

Glancing at the clock, it was almost noon.

After getting up and ready, I stepped out of my room to see Mom all dressed up, preparing to take the kids out.

Seeing her makeup, I teased, "Got a date with Mr. Shaw?"

"What are you on about,"

Bella shot me a look, "He's flown abroad, remember?"

I slapped my forehead, "Oh, right."

"So, my dear mom, where to then?"

Mom replied, "Going to see Ike. He wanted to come stay here yesterday, but I didn't want to impose on you guys, so said no. He's been fussing about seeing his sister all morning, and Gregory didn't want to disturb your sleep. So I thought I'd take Mira over."

Recalling yesterday, I awkwardly scratched my cheek, "So, you're not coming back for dinner?"

Mom shook her head, "We will. The kids need their dinner."

"But once they start on solids, you'll have it easier. Not like now, having to find time to pump and store milk in the fridge."

I smiled, "Is the driver arranged?"NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
