Chapter 721
Isaac locked eyes with her and was momentarily at a loss for words. His lips were pressed tightly together as he
tried to negotiate with Brittany but to no avail.
The atmosphere was tense.
Brittany no longer had the energy to converse with Isaac. She buried her face in her hands and leaned against the
wall. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Daniel. Time seemed to stretch on endlessly.
Daniel finally emerged from the ER.
Brittany wiped her tears and approached the doctor. “How’s my son?”
)
The doctor removed his surgical mask. “A slight concussion, but we’ve dressed the wounds on his face. All in all,
he’s not too bad off.”
Brittany let out a sigh of relief and thanked the doctor before asking for any special precautions she should take.
Daniel was transferred to a VIP room, and Brittany stayed by his side, fearful that if she didn’t keep a close eye on
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim, she might lose him again.
Isaac stood guard outside the door until Nathan, hearing the news, arrived.
“Mr. Salter, my apologies.”
His men had been close by at the kindergarten, but they’d received information from others in the afternoon,
giving Leda’s people an opportunity.
“This is the third time.” Isaac looked at Nathan with a grim expression. “Deal with them. I don’t want to see them
again.”
Nathan knew he had made a mistake. “Mr. Salter, I’m sorry, I should’ve…”
“Leave!” Isaac thought about Daniel’s bruised face, his breath quickening. A wave of anger washed over him.
Nathan didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly left.
Brittany stayed awake all night, all her thoughts on Daniel. Seeing the imprint of fingers on his cherubic face, she
wished she could kill Leda herself!
As dawn approached, Isaac pushed open the door of the room and walked up to Brittany. “It’s late. You should go
home and rest.”
Brittany was too engrossed in her thoughts to hear him. She gently touched Daniel’s hand, bending down to kiss the
back of it. Her eyes were filled with endless tenderness.
Feeling her warmth, Daniel stirred.
“Daniel?” Brittany was overjoyed to see her son awaken, her eyes welling up with tears.
Seeing her, Daniel’s eyes also reddened, and tears started to stream down his face.
“Mommy, it hurts…”

Sobbing, he burst into tears. The tears fell on his wounds, causing a burning sensation, and he cried even harder.
Brittany felt both distressed and heartbroken. She gently held his hand. “Don’t cry, don’t cry. Mommy’s here. This
won’t happen again.”
Once Daniel had cried himself out, he choked out, “Mommy, I’m sorry.”
Brittany was taken aback. “Why are you apologizing?”
Daniel’s lips quivered. “That woman said she knew where you’ve been these past five years. That’s why I followed
her.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBrittany hadn’t anticipated Leda using such underhanded tactics to trick her son, and her heart ached even more.
“It’s okay, but you mustn’t follow strangers anymore, okay?”
Daniel obediently nodded. He was still in pain and very tired. After a good cry, he snuggled back into his bed and fell
asleep.
Isaac watched the mother and son, his lips pressed into a tight line.
Once Daniel was asleep, Brittany stood up and turned to Isaac. “Can we sign the divorce papers now?”
She licked her lips. “You hurt my grandmother, and I got you kicked out of Grandeur Capital. We’re even. I don’t
want to be involved with the Salter family anymore. Can you let me go?”
She had had enough. Time after time, she had been manipulated by Leda and the Salter family. What had she and
her son ever done to deserve all that?
Isaac looked into her eyes for a long moment before seemingly conceding. “Fine, I’ll sign.”
If signing the divorce papers could make Brittany feel better, even for a moment, he was willing to do it.
Brittany was surprised that he agreed so readily and let out a sigh of relief. “Good. Let’s get the paperwork done as
soon as possible.”
“I can sign, but I can’t give you sole custody.” Isaac’s lips tightened. “We can share custody. If you agree to this, I’ll
sign the papers right away.”
Brittany just wanted him to sign the papers. “Fine.”
