Daniel’s eyes were sparkling. “I fell all by myself.”
Brittany stared at him. “Really?”
Daniel nodded seriously. “Really, Mom.”
Brittany knew he wouldn’t lie. She gently touched his forehead. “Okay, Mom believes you. You need to rest and not run around for a few days, okay?”
Daniel cupped Brittany’s chin and planted a kiss on her cheek. “Okay.”
Brittany took care of Daniel all night, and the next day, her assistant took her home to prepare for the final competition.
Isaac was worried about Daniel being in the hospital, so he had Nathan bring all the work to the hospital.
Daniel woke up at some point. He was dressed in a thin hospital gown as he stood in front of Isaac.
“How are you awake?” Isaac was startled. He closed his files, stood up, walked to him, picked him up, and put him on the bed. “Are you uncomfortable?”
The doctor said he should try to stay in bed as much as possible.
Daniel shook his head. His big, glowing eyes stared at Isaac for a long time without moving.
“Do you have something to say to Dad?”
Like father, like son. They had an unspoken connection.
Isaac sat by the bed. “Go ahead.”.
Daniel licked his lips. “Daddy, do you like Ms. Joie?”
Joie?
“No.”
Isaac never expected his son to ask this kind of question. Probably because Joie had been around the Salter family for years, he just/couldn’t help but ask this.
“I like your mom. I always have.”
Daniel sat on the bed. His thin body was slightly trembling as he clenched the quilt, then, after a long time. “She pushed me.”
“What?” Isaac’s eyes changed dramatically. “Is this true?”
Daniel nodded heavily. “She pinched me and pushed me.”
From the glow in his eyes, Isaac knew he was being sincere.
“I didn’t tell Mom because I didn’t want her to worry.”
Not only that, but Joie had the freedom to enter and leave their mansion. It was better to pretend not to know for the time being, so as not to startle the snake.
Isaac looked at his five-year-old son, who was already too calm for a child his age. He took a deep breath. “Okay, Daddy knows about this, and I will investigate as soon as possible and give you an explanation.”
Daniel leaned against the headboard. “Don’t tell Mom about this.”
“I understand.”
Brittany loved her son more than anything. Once she knew about this, she would cause a ruckus.
If news of this spread, it would startle the snake, and it would be even more detrimental to Daniel.
Ever since Isaac found out that Joie pushed Daniel, he had become more cautious of her.
He secretly instructed his people to cut off several of Joie’s endorsements, which kept Joie too busy to worry about Daniel.
The night before the final.
Brittany stayed in the hospital with Daniel.
Every time Daniel tried to get out of bed, she would feel uneasy. She felt as if he would slip away at any time.
It wasn’t until late at night that she fell into a deep sleep.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night.
Her phone’s frantic ringtone woke her up. Brittany sat up from bed, drenched in sweat.
She answered the phone and heard a panicked voice on the other end. “Ms. Dustin, something bad happened.”
In an instant, Brittany felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet, and her blood seemed to freeze over.
“What happened?”
Brittany heard ber own numb voice.
“Kari… she’s been kidnapped.”
Brittany got up from the bed and wiped the sweat off her face. “Did you find her?”
“We found her.” Her assistant’s voice sounded choked up. “She’s not looking good. Can you come?”
