NovelEnglishChapter 891 Brittany hadn't slept in days. Another blow had taken its toll, causing her to faint from exhaustion into Isaac's arms as he carried her to the car.
Nathan floored the gas pedal the moment he saw her condition.
Isaac held Brittany close, his jaw clenched, anger simmering beneath the surface.
At the hospital, the doctors dressed Brittany's wounds and gave her a nutritional IV.
“Mr. Salter, Ms. Dustin fainted from extrfatigue and is still unconscious. Try not to worry too much,” Nathan said in a hushed tone.

Nathan doubted his ears for a moment, but as he observed Isaac closely, he could tell the man was at his breaking point.
Carla's repeated targeting of Brittany had long exhausted Isaac’s patience. Now that she had attacked Brittany in public, how could he let it slide? “Understood.” Nathan immediately gathered the security footage and contacted their lawyer.
He didn’t need to stretch his imagination to predict Carla’s reaction. She would rage. Then she would beg for mercy. And then, she would offend again.
When Brittany woke up, her forehead was still throbbing with pain. Recollections of the incident flooded her mind, and she jolted upright, gasping for air as the er” from her wound intensified.
Glancing around, she noticed the room was empty.
Isaac was probably at the funeral.
After resting for nearly half an hour, Brittany called Kari.
“Kari, can you cto the hospital?” She couldn't make it to the funeral on her own.
Kari arrived quickly.
Seeing the bandage on Brittany's forehead, she seethed, “Brittany, Carla’s gone too far. She did this to you and didn’t even apologize!” Brittany massaged her temples. “Helpget dressed. | need to be there.” 1/2 08:10 Chapter 891 Grace was to be laid to rest in the morning. She couldn't be absent.

He's actually suingfor you!” “Carla!” A calm, authoritative voice cut through the air, freezing Carla in her tracks, her hand suspended mid-air. She turned, trembling.
Isaac stood nearby, clad in a somber black suit, his demeanor grave yet noble.
“Zac...” Carla stumbled over her words.
“I thought | warned you,” Isaac said, moving through the crowd.
Panic distorted Carla's face.
Isaac didn’t give her a chance to speak. He approached Brittany, his gaze tender on her forehead. “Weren't you supposed to rest at the hospital?” Brittany, mustering her strength, replied, “I wanted to say goodbye to Grandma one last time.” Isaac had anticipated Brittany's arrival. Taking her hand, he said, “Let's go.” Carla stood rooted in place, trembling uncontrollably. “Zac, | realize my mistake.” “The lawsuit stands,” Isaac stated firmly.
