Chapter 84 Chapter 84: The atmosphere grew awkward as the silence stretched on.

In the end, it was Yvonne who spoke first. "Is Brian's leg really broken?" "The doctor just sent over his medical report. Do you think he would givea fake?" "Then you'd better go see him. Who knows, maybe the sight of you will move him to tears of joy, and his leg will miraculously heal," Yvonne teased.

Norton warned through gritted teeth, "You really have a knack for pissingoff." "Thank you for the compliment," she quipped.

This only made Norton scowl deeper. Huffing in frustration, he turned and stormed out of the room.

Meanwhile, in another hospital room, Brian lay bored and listless. He hadn't moved since Ronald gave a report on the situation.

"I can extend another invitation to Ms. Marsh if you really wish to see her," Ronald offered.

"What for?" Brian retorted stubbornly. "Who said I want to see her, anyway?" Ronald could only shut his mouth.

Then, as if on cue, the door swung open. Brian immediately went on alert, sitting up and straightening his clothes.

He waited in anticipation as the door fully opened.

When he saw that it was just Norton, his expression turned sour.

"Why is it you?" Brian whined, unable to hide the disappointment in his voice.

Norton raised an eyebrow and gave him a knowing glance. "Expecting someone else?” Before Brian could respond, he added, "Aren't you curious why I'm suddenly here in Amberfield?"

"She cto see Rachel, right?" Brian asked, though he pretty much knew the answer already.

"Rachel called my wife in the middle of the night, crying her heart out and begging for help. She sounded absolutely devastated," Norton calmly recounted what little he knew of that phone call.

Brian, on the other hand, boiled with rage. Jeffrey had been in trouble last night, so of course, Rachel needed all N the help she could get. And yet, the first person she had thought of was Yvonne, not him. He was her fiancé, the man she was supposed to rely on for the rest of her life. Why didn't she turn to him first? Brian pressed a hand against his chest to ease the heavy, suffocating mass that seemed to have closed in around his heart.

He knew he had let Rachel down in the matter involving Doris. If he had only handled it better, Jeffrey wouldn't have been driven to such a state, to the point where he would actually try jumping off a bridge.

Brian figured that Rachel wouldn't want to see him, and he couldn't blher. When noon rolled around, Brian asked Ronald to order an extravagant meal. A massive dining table had to be brought into the room, and even though it was a VIP ward, the table almost took up the rest of the available space.
