Chapter 880:

Brysen, gripping Kallie’s hand, attempted to form words, her mouth moving soundlessly in a desperate effort to communicate.

“Miss Nixon.” Neal quickly stepped in, his expression tinged with feigned concern.

“Brysen’s still not stable. The doctor warned us not to upset her. It might be best if you left for now.”

Kallie wanted to say more, but the sight of Brysen thrashing about and hurling objects in distress made her bite back her words. She couldn’t shake off the guilt, believing Brysen resented her and couldn’t bear her presence. She surmised if that was the case, she would keep her distance.

“I see how deeply you care for Brysen,” she said, handing it over.

“Though you’ve taken time off work, with Brysen’s situation so unpredictable, it’s prudent to have some funds on hand for any emergencies.”
