The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 539

Brittany caught sight of that text, and forgot her nightmare from moments ago. She replied with a simple "okay," settling on a time to meet with Daniel before drifting off to sleep again.

...

Imperial City, PrimeCare Hospital.

Outside the operating room.

Upon hearing about Isaac's condition, Grace rushed over. She was old acquaintances with the doctor in charge of the surgery.

"Grace, the surgery is over."

"What happened?"

"Mr. Salter has been hitting the bottle hard these past few years, which led to stomach problems. This time, possibly due to severe emotional swings and drunkenness, he suffered a sudden gastric bleed. Luckily, he got medical help in time, so it's not too serious."

A gastric bleed!

Grace gripped her cane tightly, letting out a sigh, "Thank you."

The doctor shook his head, "Mr. Salter is still young. As long as he's willing to quit drinking and rest, his stomach will recover."

Isaac was moved to the VIP ward.

Grace, led by Nathan, went to visit him.

Isaac had awoken. His face was pale, and his eyes vacant.

Grace asked, "Why did you drink so much?"

Seeing him harm his body like this, Grace felt both heartbroken and angry.

"Even if you wreck yourself this badly, Bri won't come back to you. Why are you doing this to yourself?" Grace's voice trembled, "I told you five years ago. You were so cruel to her. How could she possibly forgive you?"

Isaac leaned against the head of the bed, listening to Grace's words, his eyes flickering slightly.

Unable to hear anymore, Nathan interrupted, "Grace, please stop. Mr. Salter really loves Ms. Dustin."

He was the only one who knew the truth about what happened five years ago.

Seeing Isaac's haggard face, Grace couldn't find the words to continue.

After a while, she walked over to the bedside, gripping Isaac's hand, "Zac, you need to rest."

Grace left the hospital to find Brittany, but Brittany had already gone out.

She sighed, with no choice but to return to Salter Manor.
