"However, the kidney source is in H city."
The place Mr. Salter needed to head to was H city.
"Book a flight ticket."
Isaac frowned. Whether for the memorial event or the kidney source, he felt the need to go there personally.
"Alright."
Every year around this time, Isaac would be out, and the folks in Grandeur Capital would tacitly avoid bringing up the matter.
...
After the meeting ended, he had a one-on-one with Derek. "I'm heading to H city. Look after Bri for me, will you?"
Derek knew what he was up to. He had heard bits and pieces about Brittany.
"Loraine was hospitalized because of her. Is she seriously not planning to come out and apologize?" Derek was still quite peeved when it came to this.
Isaac didn't expect Derek to think this way, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "You seriously believe the gossip?"
He thought Derek was at least discerning.
"Isn't that how it went down?"
Derek frowned; Loraine wouldn't lie.
And besides, if Brittany was really innocent, why hadn't she come out to explain anything up until now?
"Derek, Bri would never do anything to hurt others." Isaac forcefully tapped the table to clarify the situation. "She's been preoccupied with her grandma's severe illness lately; she hasn't had the time to clarify anything, but that doesn't mean she's admitting to it."
He didn't like Derek's attitude.
Probably realizing Isaac was partial to Brittany, Derek decided to drop the matter.
"I'll arrange for someone to be at the hospital; be careful in H city."
Isaac was still worried.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Brittany." Derek might not like Brittany, but he knew Isaac's personality. If he failed to protect Brittany, who knew what kind of mess could be stirred up?
Isaac looked into his eyes for a long while before saying, "I'll leave her in your hands; I trust you."
After confirming his itinerary, Isaac visited the hospital. As expected, Brittany was just about to go in to visit Donna.
