The door to the ward was pushed open.
Then, a tall man barged in, his gaze darkening at the sight of Brittany's arm in a sling.
That was too much. They actually hurt her hand!
Brittany had been holding back for a while. Upon seeing him, her eyes instantly reddened, "Zakky."
Hannah gaped at the man. Was that really the big boss?
She wanted to say something, but a look from Isaac silenced her. It was as if he was saying, ‘get out’!
Hannah froze, swallowing hard, then turned to Brittany, "Bri, you haven't eaten yet. I'll go get you some food. You two can go ahead and chat."
Leaving the ward, Hannah felt as if all her energy had been sapped.
Who could tell her what had happened? Her best friend had suddenly become her boss' wife. So, all her past complaints about the big boss to Brittany... he knew them all?
No wonder Nathan had warned her!
At this thought, Hannah's face scrunched up. She squatted by the ward door, looking helpless.
Inside the ward.
Isaac walked to the bed and saw her hand, "What did the doctor say?"
"Fracture. It needs time to heal."
Fracture.
Isaac's eyes flashed chillingly. Those people were asking for trouble, hurting her hand was like cutting off Brittany's livelihood.
She reached out a hand. Isaac walked over and, in the next second, she had wrapped her arms around his waist, tears streaming down her face, "It hurts so bad. My studio's been completely destroyed."
In the past half a month, she had been working tirelessly to prepare her studio, only for it to be destroyed.
Isaac was willing to talk to her because he hoped she could keep it a secret. "She doesn't know, and I hope you can keep it a secret too."
"Why?"
Hannah didn't understand. If people knew that Brittany was married to Isaac, who would dare bully her? The Dustins and Finn would have to bow down!
This was like a real-life drama. She could already imagine Finn's reaction when he found out Brittany was married to Isaac! These womanizing men deserved a good lesson!
"This is between Brittany and me. If you want to tell her, I won't oppose." Isaac said coldly with his hands behind his back, "But you should be clear if Brittany gets involved in the Salter family's affairs and gets hurt as a result, you'll have to take responsibility."
Hearing this, Hannah hesitated.
The Salter family was like a trap. It may look dazzling on the surface, but without a strong family background, Brittany could be in danger if they found out. The Chester family had been doing well in recent years, but compared to the Salter family, it was still not strong enough. She worried that her family would not be able to protect Brittany if there was a conflict.
After careful consideration, Hannah decided to keep Isaac's identity a secret. "Mr. Salter, I can pretend nothing happened, but I need you to promise me one thing."
