    “That would be best”


    Brittany couldn’t be bothered with Joie. She flopped onto the bed with the help of her bodyguard.

    Joie tried to stir the pot, but Brittany didn’t bite


    Biting her lip in frustration, Joie stormed out.


    Once Joie left, Brittany turned to her bodyguard and said, “Don’t tell Mr. Salter about Join’s visit”


    She knew these bodyguards were Isaac’s eyes and ears, keeping tabs on her every move, even what


    she ate and drank


    The bodyguard simply pressed his lips together and said, “Get some rest, Mrs. Salter”


    Clearly at a loss for a response, he chose to dodge the issue.


    Brittany took her medicine daily. She should’ve been getting better, but her health was only getting


    worse, and she was sleeping longer and longer


    Hannah tried to visit, but the security stopped her. Pissed, she called Isaac to give him a piece of her


    mind. Before she could finish, sleepiness overtook Brittany, and she was unable to calm her down.


    Hannah chewed him out, but Brittany didn’t respond. Helplessly, she hung up.


    Bet’s Mansion.


    Looking at the recent reports from the bodyguards, Isaac’s face hardened, “Didn’t you say you could


    develop an antidote?”


    Shona didn’t expect Brittany’s condition to be so severe.


    “The poison has mutated several times; finding an antidote isn’t easy Just give me more time. I’ll hurry


    Shona knew Isaac’s cooperation was all because of Brittany If anything happened to Brittany, Isaac


    might have even breached the contract.


    She didn’t want to fall out with Isaac, and she had a soft spot for Brittany. She didn’t want to see


    Brittany suffer.


    Isaac closed the file, “Ms. Bet, I’ll give you half a month. If there’s no progress by then, don’t me


    me for breaking our deal”


    1 understand.”


    Shona and Isaac talked for a long time. Before leaving, Shona asked, “I heard Ms. Dustin is locked up.


    How is she doing?”


    “Not well.”


    “Don’t you n to tell her about the child?” Shona was puzzled. Why wouldn’t Isaac tell Brittany that it


    wasn’t him who killed their child but that the child couldn’t have survived anyway?


    “She loved that child. I don’t want to upset her


    Shona scoffed. Was this love?


    “Mr. Salter, I advise you not to keep our deal from Ms. Dustin. You’ll regret it.”


    Shona only needed to use Isaac to increase her bargaining chips. She had no other intentions towards


    him, but she wished to see Isaac and Brittany happy together.


    “That’s my business.” Isaac left.


    In the spacious living room, Shona picked up a rose from the table, gently stroking it. After a while, a


    smell wafted from the kitchen. She instinctively


    covered her mouth.


    Her stomach churned, and she felt like throwing up.


    Shona forced down the nausea. She walked into the kitchen to see the maid preparing dinner.


    “What’s wrong, Ms. Bet?”


    Shona frowned, “Don’t cook anything with a strong smell.”


    It made her queasy.


    The maid quickly agreed.


    Brittany was awake less and less. Isaac spent most of his time at the hospital. Grace visited a few


    times, but Brittany didn’t want to talk to her, so she stoppeding


    In one of her rare lucid moments, Isaac helped Brittany change into winter clothes, saying, “Tomorrow


    is New Year’s. Let’s go out for a walk”


    As nned, he should’ve taken her back to Salter Manor on New Year’s Eve to ring in the new year


    with the family


    Despite the pain from her wounds, Brittany refused to use a wheelchair and insisted on walking on her


    own


    Isaac helped her put on her boots. The boots were lined with thick wool, warm and soft, like walking on


    clouds


    ‘Let’s go.”


    Isaac held out his hand.


    Brittany avoided his hand. She gritted her teeth and rose to her feet, “I want to see Kyle:


    That was the second time.
