NovelEnglishJane was puzzled, "What does that mean?"
Gregory leaned in and whispered an explanation.
Immediately, Jane grabbed her phone and started to scrutinize it closely.
Due to the ambiguous noise earlier, she hadn't been able to pay full attention.
Now, with the sound off and after Gregory's hint, she realized what was wrong.
"Does this mean that Nelly has the surveillance footage of Christine and Dailey's memory gap?"
Gregory nodded, "Ninety-five percent sure."
Jane understood the remaining five percent. Given Nelly's cunning, capable of ensnaring someone as sharp as
Dailey in her web, she must have kept something very convincing up her sleeve. But even the best-laid plans
can have their slip-ups.
Thus Gregory's ninety-five percent certainty, rather than a full guarantee.
"You need to tell Dailey."
Gregory was calm, "He's without his phone, how should | reach him? And if | do, what if the Clarksons catch wind
of it?"

Jane arched an eyebrow, "You're right, but | know you'll find a way."
A light sparkled in Gregory's eyes as he chuckled, "Alright, I'll have Lucius drop off sfood for you and your
sister. I'm heading over to the Clarksons."
Jane looked worried, "You just got Dailey out of the Clarkson estate, are you sure you can get back in?"
Gregory had his ways. He patted Jane's head, "Don't worry."
Jane walked him to the elevator. Just as the doors were about to close, Gregory suddenly blocked them.
Jane flinched.
Typical of brothers, both Dailey and Gregory had a knack for stopping elevator doors.
"Aren't you too old for these dangerous stunts?"
Gregory didn't argue, merely stating, "Keep your distance from Merritt. Speak up; at his age, he's not hard of
hearing. No need to get too close." Jealous much?
Jane didn't argue, simply nodding in agreement, "Got it."
Back in the hospital room, Jane saw Merritt sitting by the bed, his gaze fixed on Christine without blinking.
Occasionally, he moistened her cracked lips, his every action radiating care and affection.
But that didn't change the fact that he had hurt Christine.
"I'll take care of her. Regardless, you bringing her to the hospital is a favor to us. We'll repay you, no matter what
happens in the future, no one will harm your grandmother.

Jane's intelligence was not lost on Merritt.

He had never fully convinced her of his innocence, yet he believed in his genuine affection for Christine,
confident he wouldn't truly harm her.
Thus, Jane left room for grace.
"Jane, | actually..."
Jane signaled for him to continue.

But Merritt was interrupted by a call from the set; he had to leave for filming. His role couldn't keep the crew
waiting.
"Jane, I'll cright after I'm done to relieve you."
Jane was more interested in whether he was about to confess about that night.

But she couldn't press him. After all, desperate times could lead to desperate measures.
"Do your thing. I've got Chris; it's easier foras a woman."
The implication was clear; he had no
business being too close to
Christine. Despite saving her,
Christine and Dailey were still
together, and he needed to maintain a respectful distance.
Merritt hesitated, his phone incessantly ringing, forcing him to leave.
He decided to wait for a more appropriate moment to cclean about that night.
"Jane, wait for me."
Jane said nothing more, watching him go.
Soon after, Lucius arrived.
Not only did he bring food, but he also brought a video call from Gregory.
