Chapter 880
After a month-long recuperation in the hospital, Brittany was finally given the green light to head home.
During that month, she had come to terms with many things. As soon as she was discharged, she had Charles look into Grace’s past.
“Bri, are you sure you want to do this?” Charles hesitated. If it turned out that Grace was the one behind the poisoning, where would that leave Brittany and Isaac’s marriage?
“Just do it!” Brittany insisted.
With a heavy sigh, Charles had no choice but to hang up and get to work.
Brittany decided not to rush back to the studio but instead to focus on spending time with
Daniel.
Initially unaware of Brittany’s hospitalization, Daniel grew suspicious as days passed, eventually learning the truth and leaving Noel with a splitting headache after he cried his eyes out. Finally, Noel had no choice but to bring Daniel to the hospital to visit her. eyes
Following her discharge, Isaac became even more attentive to Brittany’s needs. He took her to see a naturopath to ensure her full recovery and prevent any lingering health
issues.
Daniel, too, became extra cautious around her.
Brittany’s miscarriage was kept quiet, with only those close to the family aware of it. To others, it simply seemed as though she was on an extended leave of absence.
Isaac, juggling multiple responsibilities, was stretched thin, leaving Brittany to take over the school runs for Daniel.
This new arrangement seemed to irk Hana.
Why was Brittany being so petty? Previously, it had been Mr. Salter handling the school runs. Was Brittany so possessive that she’d pushed Mr. Salter out of the way just to prevent any interactions between them?
Hana’s mood soured further, and one evening, her friends dragged her out to a bar to lift her spirits. Amid the buzz of alcohol, Hana overheard her friends discussing Brittany’s miscarriage.
“Miscarriage, for sure?”
“Yes, my uncle’s head of the hospital. They say she was under a lot of stress…” One friend was adamant, “She stayed in the hospital for over a month.”
“What a disgrace, not even married and already pregnant,” Hana spat in disgust.

“It seems Mr. Salter has proposed again, so a reunion is likely.”
“Though Mr. Salter has been making big moves at Grandeur Capital, Brittany seems to be laying low at home these days,” the gossip continued.
Hana sneered, inwardly judging anyone who couldn’t even keep a child as unworthy of marrying Mr. Salter.
As the conversation drifted to other matters and Hana drank more than intended, she caught sight of a few men entering the bar.
Among them was Isaac, who looked like he’d come straight from Grandeur Capital, still wearing his crisp white shirt with his suit jacket casually draped over his wrist. Even in such a place, he exuded a regal presence that was hard to miss.
Surrounded by several good-looking men, they stood out in the crowd.
Quickly touching up her makeup and spritzing her mouth with breath freshener to ensure she was presentable, Hana approached them.
Isaac had planned to spend the evening with Brittany, but Wesley had dragged him out to the bar for a “friends’ night.” He had been about to decline when Derek called Brittany, who insisted Isaac go out and have fun, just to be home early.
Isaac, buried in work and under immense pressure, could use a drink to unwind.
