Donna Dustin didn't get to the hospital until nightfall, and Isaac was still out cold.
Donna Dustin was clearly shaken up, gripping Brittany's hand tight, and asked, "What did the doc say?"
"He lost a lot of blood; they need to keep treating him."
Brittany poured Donna Dustin a cup of coffee, "Granny, can you manage by yourself at home?"
Donna Dustin nodded, "No sweat; I can stay home alone."
By the time Isaac woke up, it was already night.
Brittany saw him come to and went up to ask, "You awake; does it still hurt?"
It kinda did. But he didn't want Brittany to know, so he shook his head, "Nah, it doesn't."
Brittany hung her head, dampened a cotton swab with warm water, and gently cleaned his lips, "The doc said you need to rest for a while."
Isaac looked at her with an intense gaze.
After Brittany wet his lips, she put down the glass, "Thanks for saving me."
"It's what I’m supposed to do." Isaac gripped Brittany's hand firmly, his eyes resolute, "Bri, I genuinely want to protect you."
Everything happened so suddenly in court that he didn't even have time to hesitate and instinctively hugged her. When the pain hit, he felt only relief.
Thankfully, Brittany wasn't hurt.
Tears filled Brittany's eyes. She lowered her head and kissed the back of his hand, "Zakky, take care of your wounds while I take care of you."
"Mm."
Isaac was injured and the corporation's matters were all pushed to Derek, who just got back from H city.
Derek was swamped. He wanted to visit when he heard that Isaac was hurt but was held back by the board.
After Brittany settled Isaac down to sleep, she contacted Hannah.
“Get me Robert’s DNA sample.”
Hannah, who was driving, was startled and slammed on the brakes, causing the vehicle to make a screeching sound. She couldn't believe it, "Bri, what do you need the DNA sample for?"
"I need to know what the relationship between Robert and me is."
Seeing the tears in Brittany's eyes, Hannah also felt heartbroken.
