Chapter: 884
ALL of the blood on Nelson's face seemed to have been drained. His gaze fell to the end of the page that stated that Greta and Isaac were mother and son.
Nelson loosened his grip and the paper fell to the floor Like a Leaf. Greta frowned and went to pick it up, but Nelson got it first and tore it roughly into pieces.
“This is fake!"
"Nelson!" Greta had never seen him this way. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Nelson squeezed her hand gently and said, “Nothing. Come on, let's go home."
When he draped his arm around Greta‘'s shoulder, she could feel him shuddering.
She looked at him with tenderness in her eyes and said, "Don't be scared, Nelson. I'll stay by your side no matter what happens."
Upon hearing this, Camila instinctively looked up at Isaac.
But his expression was unreadable.
Camila knew him too well though, and she could see the stiffness of his neck.
“Let us out, please," Greta said, now standing in front of the door with Nelson by her side.
Isaac stood still at the door, staring at her with an empty gaze. Alick suddenly got angry in his stead.
“Mrs. Johnston, you..." “Alick!" Isaac gave him a sharp look. "Let them go."
Camila understood why Isaac did that. Greta couldn't remember him. There was no need forcing her to stay when he wouldn't gain anything from it.
With a heavy sigh, she held Isaac's hand.
He had to be hurting.
His own mother couldn't recognize him.
There was no way he was really indifferent to this.
He was hiding his pain in the deepest parts of him.
After the way was freed for them, Greta and Nelson walked out, but a few moments after, Greta looked back at Isaac with a complicated emotion in her eyes.
Camila turned to Josiah and asked, "Can I take the rest of the day off?"
After all that had happened today, Josiah knew that Camila wouldn't be able to focus on work.
“Sure, go ahead," he answered.
Camila nodded gratefully at him and said to Isaac, "Let's go."
Camila and Isaac sat in the back seat while Alick went to the driver's seat.
