Primo definitely couldn't hide anything, but he hadn't spilled everything earlier, hoping to let Dailey cool down first.
If he had reported everything as it was, Dailey might have really lost it with Nelly.
But as he was about to speak, Jayne called for the security, to rush Nelly to the hospital.
Dailey, without a glance, signaled Primo to continue.
But Jayne spoke before Primo could: "Dr. Smith said the baby might not make it. Youâre coming with me to the hospital now."
Something clicked in Daileyâs mind, and he immediately called Dr. Andrews.
Dr. Andrews had just finished consulting a special case today.
Upon receiving Daileyâs call, it took him a moment to react before he arranged for a specialist to come over.
"Having him directly involved in the abortion procedure, we could try to save some tissue for DNA testing."
Hearing this, Dailey asked, "Why didnât you mention this before?"
Dr. Andrews replied, "...Mr. Clarkson, you didnât ask."
True, he hadnât asked.
Ever since he found out about Nellyâs pregnancy, he had only inquired about when the DNA test could be done.
He had indeed overlooked this.
"Iâm on my way to the hospital."
...
Gregory was about to cuddle up with his wife for the night.
Still, hearing about the situation, he made his way to the hospital.
Finding Dailey, he asked, "Dr. Andrews has arranged for the surgery?"
Dailey nodded.
Gregory pressed on, "Are you sure it was you acting impulsively, not Nelly forcing your hand?"
Dailey hadnât considered this yet; all he wanted was to prove the child wasnât his.
Then he could deal with Nelly once and for all before groveling for Christineâs forgiveness.
"Did you really not know about Christineâs trip to Mistwood?"
He countered, and Gregory, with an easy shrug and without missing a beat, said, "Had no clue."
Dailey didnât buy it.
But he didnât press further.
"Are you nervous?"
Although Dailey was usually a man of few words, he would engage more when discussing matters.
Today was clearly off, prompting Gregory to ask, "Worried the test might prove itâs your kid?"
Dailey hadnât planned to dive into this, but Gregory steered the conversation here.
Gregory couldn't help but chuckle, staying there for Dailey.
Dailey fell silent again.
Gregory found it amusing yet frustrating.
"Since youâve broken up, her fate shouldnât concern you anymore."
Dailey, with a hand in his pocket, looked towards the operating room.
Gregory leaned against the wall, arms crossed, observing him.
After a while, he offered, "Just a friendly tip, give Christine some space. Sheâs not one for forceful tactics."
Daileyâs lips twitched slightly, "She did contact your wife before heading to Mistwood, right?"
Gregory didnât directly answer, "You're not one to be clingy, Mr. Clarkson."

The only clear thing was Gregoryâs advice.
They too hoped Dailey would give it a rest, not exhaust resources and manpower searching for Christine.
It would be best if Christine never returned to Vista Town.
"Dailey."
Normand spoke, "Have you considered that going all out to find her might actually put her in more danger?"
