Chapter 603
Daniel seemed to sense her sadness. His small hands wrapped tightly around her neck as he whimpered quietly.
Brittany was crying so hard she couldn’t control herself. Her whole body was trembling.
They held each other tightly, crying for a while. Then Daniel held back his tears and reached out to wipe Brittany’s away, “Mom, don’t cry; it makes me really unhappy.”
Did he do something wrong to make his mom so upset?
He had been crying just a minute ago, so his eyes red-rimmed and his nose pink, looking utterly pitiful.
Brittany hastily wiped her tears and reached out to him, “Can I eat the gift you gave me?”
“Of course.”
Daniel opened the box and took out a small cake, presenting it solemnly to Brittany.
Brittany knew the cakes Emily made were delicious, and this one was no exception.
She took a bite through her tears, her eyes glistening, “This is really yummy, thank you, Daniel.”. Daniel beamed, giving Brittany a sloppy kiss. Her face was covered in slobber, but it felt incredibly sweet. Isaac stood outside the lounge and saw them huddle together. There was a touch of sadness in his eyes. Brittany hadn’t recovered yet. He looked at the time and thought it best for her to rest.
He went over to them, “Go get some rest first. You haven’t recovered yet.”
Brittany didn’t feel like talking to Isaac. She wanted to keep holding Daniel, but her body was too weak.
Reluctantly, she stood up, leading Daniel back to her room.
Back in her room, a nurse re-administered her IV. Daniel climbed up onto the bed, quietly staying by Brittany while his eyes were darting around.
“Mom, are you sick?” He asked.
“Um, I’m just a bit under the weather.”
Brittany’s attention was almost entirely on Daniel.
Isaac walked in. Seeing them huddled together, he frowned, “Daniel, it’s late, you should go.”
He didn’t like that all her attention was on Daniel.
Daniel didn’t want to let go.
Brittany didn’t want Daniel to leave either. “Let him stay, I’m fine now.” She said.
Isaac gave a small smile, “Just this once.”
Daniel lay in Brittany’s arms. He had cried earlier and he was a bit tired now. His grip on her dress loosened and he dozed off.
Once he was asleep, Brittany tucked him in and kissed his forehead, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Isaac walked to the side of the bed, picking up Daniel and handing him to Emily.
With her arms empty, Brittany felt a pang of loss.
“You said before, as long as Kyle was alive, you’d hear me out.” Isaac said to her,
Isaac had been waiting for a chance to explain.
Brittany leaned against the headboard with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. “How do you plan on explaining? Explain that everything five years ago was a sham? That your engagement with Shona was a lie? Or that the injuries I sustained from falling off the boat were fake?”–
Isaac had prepared a lot to say, but facing Brittany’s gaze, he couldn’t get a word out.
Even if the engagement was fake, the pain and tears Brittany experienced were real!
“Bri, I…”
“I’ve forgotten about what happened five years ago.” Brittany gave him a serious look, “If you really feel guilty, could you give Kyle to
me?”
She licked her lips. She was thinking about Kyle all the time in the past five years, and now she found Daniel was Kyle and he was still alive. She’d never imagined that.
“To you?” Isaac’s expression immediately changed, “You want to leave me again?”
“We were never married.” Brittany lowered her eyes, “That’s my only request.”
“Impossible.” Isaac shook his head, “He’s my only child. I won’t let him leave the Salter family.”
“You can remarry…
“I won’t!”
Isaac interrupted Brittany, his eyes cold, “I won’t marry anyone besides you.”
Brittany was taken aback by his gaze. Was he pretending to be affectionate? Didn’t he get close with other women five years ago?
Isaac took a deep breath, knowing now wasn’t the time to discuss this. He rubbed his temples, waiting a moment before speaking. “Let’s talk about this later; you should rest now.” He said.
