Brittany was a coffee junkie once upon a time.
"Lately, my ticker hasn't been feeling so hot. I've switched to warm milk."
After her big breakup with William, Brittany threw herself into her work. Working late hours, she felt her heart wasn't quite right.
She got it checked out, but it wasn’t anything major. However, she definitely needed to take better care of herself.
Kari felt bad for her, "Brittany, should I come back and help? You've been working your tail off lately."
"Sure, take some more time off."
Kari coming back would indeed be a big help.
The two of them chatted while drinking. Brittany didn't talk about work. Instead, she asked about Kari and Nathan.
From Kari's story, Brittany found out that during her vacation, Kari's mom had fallen ill. Nathan found the best doctor for her, and she was then gradually getting better after surgery.
"Kari, why didn't you tell me something this big happened?"
"Brittany, everything happened so suddenly, and you've been going through a rough patch. I didn't want to pile on." Kari knew exactly what Brittany had been dealing with.
News about Brittany and William's breakup had spread like wildfire.
The Dillion family was actively looking for a new partner for William. How could she not know while living in Imperial City?
Brittany blamed herself, "Kari, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you."
"Brittany, it's not your fault."
Kari shook her head, "My mom's condition is stable now. There's no need for you to worry."
At six in the evening, Nathan came to pick up Kari.
Kari went to the bathroom.
Brittany said to Nathan, "Nathan, thank you for helping Kari's mom."
"Ms. Dustin, it was the least I could do." Nathan knew Brittany and Kari were close. He was very polite, "No need to thank me."
"Kari told me you two are together now." Brittany got up, looking sincere, and said, "Kari is a great girl. I hope you two will be happy."
