The medical team performed the first round of emergency treatment, putting back together Isaac’s shattered bones.
Upon hearing the news, Wesley rushed over. When he arrived, he was panting heavily. "What on earth happened? How did they end up in a car accident?"
"Mr. Salter was trying to save Ms. Dustin, who had been kidnapped, and they were hit by a car on their way to the…"
"Where's the driver who caused the accident?!" Wesley interrupted him; his voice was gruff.
"The truck toppled over. The police are still investigating." Nathan looked weary and said.
Wesley massaged his temples. "I knew it! He was bound to get himself killed because of Brittany."
Upon hearing this, Kari chuckled. "It's not Brittany's fault; it's him who did Brittany wrong!"
Wesley didn't want to argue with Kari.
However, Kari continued to vent her anger. "If it weren't for Isaac playing with Brittany's feelings and forcing her to break up with Mr. Dillion, the Palmer family wouldn't have dared to act so recklessly if Brittany was under the protection of the Dillion family!"
"Mr. Salter never played with Ms. Dustin's feelings."
"Not play with her feelings? Who was it that imprisoned Brittany and got engaged to Shona Bennett?!"
Kari usually avoided discussing the events of five years ago when she was with Nathan, but now she didn't hold back. "It’s all Isaac’s fault. If it weren't for him, Brittany wouldn't have suffered so much, and she wouldn't have…"
Nathan couldn't stand it anymore. "Five years ago, Mr. Salter got engaged to Shona to save Ms. Dustin."
Kari was taken aback. She looked at Nathan with a blank expression. "What do you mean?"
Nathan took a deep breath. "Five years ago, when Ms. Dustin was hospitalized, a dangerous toxin was discovered in her system. Shona had the best research team and was confident they could develop an antidote. Their engagement was a strategic alliance."
Nathan was one of the few who knew the truth.
Kari was in disbelief.
Wesley seemed to have an epiphany. "That explains why he suddenly broke up with Brittany five years ago, got engaged to Shona, and then called off the engagement after Brittany disappeared."
He was confused too back then. But now that Nathan had revealed this, everything suddenly clicked into place. From beginning to end, Isaac had been doing it all for Brittany.
He never expected Brittany to fall into Leda's hands, nor did he expect her to survive after falling into the sea.
