Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 750

Bella furrowed her brow, "You guys were swimming in the ocean?"

Dailey nodded.

Panic laced Bella's voice, "Were there, like, sea snakes or something? Did one bite her?"

Christine was a strong swimmer, at least that's what Jane had mentioned before.

All Bella could think of was some kind of mishap occurring.

Dailey shook his head.

That area of the ocean was safe; he'd checked before letting Christine go swimming. If there was any danger, he wouldn't have let her in the water.

Seeing the distress in his face, Bella dropped the subject.

They just awaited the doctor's prognosis.

"Mr. Clarkson."

"What's the verdict?"

The female doctor said, "It looks like she got tangled in seaweed, which caused the drowning incident. But Ms. Jackson must have had an allergic reaction to something, which led to the shock."

"Allergic to what?" Dailey inquired.

The doctor replied, "It's hard to say. The ocean's full of variables; it could be an allergy to the seaweed, for all we know."

"Has Ms. Jackson swum in the ocean before?"

Dailey didn't know much about Christine's past. He couldn't just investigate her like she was a business deal.

They were in a relationship, not a corporate merger.

"I'll make a call."

He hadn't wanted to bother Jane and Gregory, especially since they had just been through a whirlwind of events and were finally settling into their honeymoon.

But now, he and Christine had disrupted their peace.

If only he hadn't pushed Christine away initially; perhaps staying in Vista Town would have been safer than being elsewhere.

Too many issues had arisen.
