Brittany smiled weakly. "Thanks for coming to see me, Graham. I'm all right now. I'm sorry for worrying you."

Graham, a parent himself, could hardly bear to hear such words. He turned his head away, fighting back his emotions, and offered a few words of comfort before making small talk for over half an hour. Finally, he left the hospital.

As they departed, Brittany stared at Graham's retreating figure, feeling a strange sense of familiarity. But before she could piece her memories together, the doctor arrived for a check-up, and her train of thought was disrupted. She drifted off into a heavy sleep.

Back at the hotel, Graham discussed the matter of Daniel's future with Noel.

Noel was adamant about taking the child away, but Graham had a different opinion.

"Noel, you're looking to settle down and start a family of your own. Do you really plan on raising Daniel all by yourself?"

"Why can't I?" Noel was determined to preserve Isaac's only legacy.

"But have you thought about how tough it will be for you?" Graham sighed. "The Lynette family's suggestion seems reasonable. You can't be in two places at once. It might be better for him to stay in Craneville with regular visits to our family and Imperial City every year."
