Christine said, "You go make sure she takes the medication. I'll ask the front desk."

Dailey grabbed Christine's hand, "Come with me."

Christine shook her head, "We should split up. I'm worried someone might destroy evidence."

Dailey's first suspect was Merritt. He just never seemed as innocent as he appeared.

"Even if you ask now, you won't find out anything."

Christine's face fell slightly.

After sleeping since the early hours, if someone had planned something, they probably wouldn't find any evidence now.

She followed Dailey back to the top floor of the hotel.

Watching him knock on Nelly's door, it wasn't long before the door was pulled open from the inside.

Nelly peeked out, timidly looking at Dailey, "Dai..."

A flicker of emotion crossed Dailey's dark eyes, but his expression remained impassive.

He handed over the medicine.

Seeing the label on the box, Nelly lowered her eyes, trying to hide her turmoil.

With a voice filled with grievance, she said, "Dai, what are you trying to say?"

Even though Nelly was like a sister to him, growing up together, people change over the years.

He couldn't help but suspect her.

Dailey's voice was indifferent, "Take it. It's for your own good."

Nelly turned back, took out a medicine box, and looked up again, her eyes brimming with tears, "I've already taken it, Dai. I heard that taking too much birth control at once can harm your health."

Christine couldn't help but intervene, "When did you buy it?"

It wasn't that she lacked empathy, but Nelly's performance didn't seem all that innocent.

Yet, as soon as she asked, Nelly started crying.

Tears fell heavily, as if she had been greatly wronged.

"I know you'll suspect me, and even if I defend myself, you won't fully believe me. Let's let the evidence speak for itself and see what's really happening."

"Dai, I promised I wouldn't tell and I won't. I've already taken the pills, but if you don't believe me, I'll take yours too."

"Even if it harms me, I won't blame you. It's better to prevent pregnancy than to deal with it unmarried."

Saying so, she reached for the medicine box in Dailey's hand, but he pulled it back.

"Get some rest."

Leaving those words behind, he pulled Christine and stepped into the elevator.

Merritt caught up with them, "Sis, have some toast and milk to tide you over."

He handed Christine the food and continued, "After you're done, let's go have something nice. I found

restaurant with great review velo

local specialties."

Christine was genuinely hungry, but Dailey didn't let her accept the food.

"No need, I'll take her out."

Merritt just hung his head low, "Sure,

Mr. Clarkson can afford fancier

places, but at least let her eat

vel.ne

something now. Being hungry can

ruin your appetite."

Dailey already had little patience for Merritt, and seeing him act as if nothing was wrong only deepened his suspicions.

"From now on, just call her by her name."

Merritt complained to Christine, "Sis, he's too domineering, even dictating how people should address you."

Christine, her mind a mess, wasn't in the mood to mediate and just tugged gently at Dailey's sleeve.

Dailey, however, took her hand in his, intertwining their fingers.

He glared at Merritt, "Christine is now my girlfriend. You'd better understand your place, or don't blame me for being rude."
