Isaac's heart was pounding like a drum. She wanted a divorce to shack up with William. How was he supposed to agree to that?
She was meant to be his!
Isaac grabbed tightly onto her hand, his voice trembling as he said, "I can make up for the mistake I made five years ago. I won't agree to a divorce. If…”
“I’ve been to the cemetery. Kyle Salter's tomb has been dismantled."
Isaac was speechless.
“Isaac, we ended five years ago."
“Kyle, he..." Isaac tried to explain.
Brittany's phone started to buzz in her pocket. It was Hannah Chester.
As if she had a premonition, Brittany’s heart started to pound.
"Bri, my mom's really sick... come quick!"
Hannah's sobs echoed in Brittany's ears. She was practically shoved into the car by Isaac. She felt completely lost.
By the time she snapped back to reality, she found herself in a hospital.
Isaac's doctor took over the treatment of Tanya Chester. The entire hallway was eerily silent.
Blake Chester's eyes were red and swollen. Lionel Chester was no different.
Hannah was quietly crying, with her hand over her mouth.
Brittany watched the scene in front of her, feeling like she was back to five years ago when she helplessly watched her grandmother being wheeled into surgery, her breathing gradually becoming weaker.
The warmth of her grandma's body slowly faded away.
The fear of losing a loved one suddenly hit her. Brittany leaned against the wall, her eyes red and swollen, but no tears would come.
Isaac looked at her frail body, and his heart ached.
For five long years, she hadn’t had it easy.
