Isaac fired up the car and made a beeline for the hospital.
The pain in Brittany's belly was getting worse. Before long, her forehead was all sweaty, and she was soaked through as if she had just been fished out of the water.
Seeing this, Isaac looked worried and said, following the doctor's previous advice, "Bri, chill out; take deep breaths."
Brittany tried to do as he said and slowly relaxed.
But the pain in her belly didn't let up, and she tried her best to keep her cool.
Once they got to the hospital, Isaac carried her straight to the maternity ward. After a thorough check, the doctor said the situation was not good.
"Mr. Salter, Mrs. Salter has a weak constitution, and she has been scared a few times during her pregnancy. We've got her in time, so there's no problem for now."
He paused, "But the current results show that the baby might be weak. She needs to rest well and absolutely cannot overwork."
Hearing this, Brittany felt a chill run down her spine.
Isaac held her hand tightly and comforted her, "Don't worry, our baby is doing well right now."
Isaac took the doctor's advice and arranged for Brittany to be admitted to the hospital, planning to stay for a few days.
When the pain eased a bit, Brittany remembered her dinner plans with Grace Salter, "Zakky, Granny is still waiting. Give her a call."
"I already did."
Isaac had already informed Grace.
Grace, knowing Brittany had a bellyache, was on her way.
Before he could finish, Grace hurried in.
"Bri, how are you feeling? Does it still hurt? You were fine. How come you have a tummy ache now?"
Grace looked worried.
Brittany instinctively held her hand, "Granny, it doesn't hurt now."
"Zakky, did you not take good care of Bri?"
"Granny, Zakky has nothing to do with this." Brittany shook her head, "I just haven't been resting well recently. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Grace knew there were a lot of things happening recently. She sighed, "Your health is the most important thing right now. You can put the work aside for now and wait until your body stabilizes."
Brittany had planned to do the same.
The baby is more important than work.
"Granny, I'm sorry. I was supposed to have dinner with you and my sister." Brittany felt guilty. She didn't expect to have a bellyache and upset Grace's plans.
