SWNOVELS Chapter 748
Chapter 748
BANG!
The hospital room door was forcefully pushed open.
A slender figure barged in. Brittany threw herself onto the bed and hugged Daniel as tightly as she could. Her voice was choked with emotion, and tears were endlessly streaming down her face. "Daniel..." Daniel instinctively held his mom, barely noticing that his shoulder was quickly drenched with her tears.
"Mom..." Daniel's voice was hoarse.
Brittany released him and took a hard look at him. Seeing that he was truly awake, her heart, which was hanging in mid air, finally settled down.
Isaac got up and moved aside, giving them enough time to bond.
Brittany, holding back her tears, couldn't help but kiss him.
Daniel enjoyed her intimacy, and his eyes were shining brightly. "Mom, Mom."
After Brittany had calmed down, she let go of Daniel. "It's good that you're awake. Are you tired?"
Daniel was indeed tired, but he didn't want Brittany to worry.
"I'm not tired."
Brittany could tell he was lying. Although she wanted to know how he had fallen, she knew that his recovery was more important.
Daniel could no longer hold on and soon fell asleep in Brittany's arms.
Isaac worried that she might tire herself out. "You should put him down and go rest."
Brittany laid Daniel down and adjusted his blanket. "Once Daniel is discharged, you and Grace can visit him at my house."
She wouldn't let Daniel step foot in Radiant Residences or the Salter Manor anymore.
She couldn't bear another disaster.
Isaac bit his lip. "You know this situation has nothing to do with Grandma."
Grace was already blaming herself for Daniel's hospitalization. If she learned of how Brittany was feeling, she would feel even worse. "That's your problem."
Brittany lifted her head, and her red-rimmed eyes cast a disdainful gaze at Isaac's tall figure. "I have no reason to put my son in danger for your affairs." Isaac was clearly feeling guilty. He felt a sudden urge to smoke. His throat was dry and uncomfortable, and after a moment, he took a step back.
"I can go, but if Grandma wants to see Daniel, I hope you can at least be cordial."
"In that case, we'll have to go to court for custody." Brittany refused to back down. "I won't give him to you again."
Brittany stared at Isaac. She didn't trust anyone from the Salter family.
She suspected that Daniel's fall was no accident.
Isaac rubbed his temples, and, after a long while, he said, "The Salter Manor..."
"Isaac, before you plead, think about how many times my son has been in the hospital because of your family!"
Neither of them would back down, resulting in a stalemate.
Grace was drained from worry about Daniel's hospitalization.
She hadn't slept well for several days.
Finally managing to get out of bed, she saw Joie push open the door just as she was going downstairs. "Grandma, are you feeling better?"
Joie didn't dare to visit the hospital, so she could only approach Grace.
Grace gave a faint nod. "What brings you here?"
"I've been busy with the drama crew lately. I wanted to come to see you."
Grace had no energy to chat with Joie. She just walked into the living room.
Joie noticed her change in mood, feeling dissatisfied.
Despite claiming to treat her as a granddaughter, she refused to give her anything other than money.
Even knowing that she liked Isaac, she refused to play matchmaker. She even hoped that Brittany and Isaac would reconcile.
Just as Grace sat down, Emily emerged from the kitchen. "Grace, the hospital called. The young master is awake."
Joie instinctively clenched the gift box in her hand as her body stiffened.
That little jerk actually woke up?
