Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 633

Gregory wasn't in the mood to engage in conversation.

Dailey knew his friend was upset.

Even if Jane had approached him just to deliver a message, the closeness of their interaction was undeniable.

"You need to brace yourself for Ramona Jane's passing. She won't take it well."

Gregory stared into the seemingly endless darkness ahead, his deep eyes almost swallowed by the night, deep and melancholy.

He had thought, under those circumstances, that maybe the child wouldn't survive. That would have made it easier to speak up.

But after seeing the video, knowing the child was still there, because she wouldn't have communicated in such a manner otherwise, Gregory couldn't help feeling a bit helpless.

...

I still ate the food Mark had brought me.

I could handle the hunger, but the baby couldn't.

I had no choice but to trust that Mark hadn't poisoned the meal.

"The water's safe too."

Seeing me choke and struggle to swallow, Mark poured me a glass of warm water.

"If I wanted to harm the kid, I wouldn't need to go through all this trouble. We have a doctor on board; you don't need to be so wary of me."

If I trusted him completely, I'd be a complete fool.

"Where are you taking me?"

I asked after I had my fill.

Mark cleaned up the dishes without answering.

But seeing him leave the room, I couldn't help but sigh in relief.

Looking out the window again, everything was pitch black.

I wondered if Gregory could understand my message.

I had to laugh at the thought of him getting jealous over the video, but my reflection in the window looked bitter.
