HappyNovelChapter 684:
“Sit,” Isaac said, already easing into the seat across from her.
Freya pressed her lips together, and as she sat down, finally managed to greet him.
“Don’t be so nervous.” Isaac’s voice was soft, reassuring. “What happened to Kristian?”
Freya opened her mouth to explain but instead handed over the medical file she'd received from Lawrence.
“Please look at this first. Kristian just had surgery and hasn’t woken up yet. His condition... isn't good.”
Isaac’s heart gave a subtle jolt, but his hand remained steady as he took the file.
His composure was unshaken throughout.
“So, when he wakes up, there's a chance he might be paralyzed or... beceven more impaired?” Isaac's gaze
flickered as he read, but he recovered swiftly, his voice almost teasing.
Freya didn’t soften the truth. “Yes.”
Isaac kept flipping through the file.
With every page, the weight in his chest grew heavier.
But outwardly, he was all business—methodical, detached, like he was reviewing a stack of reports.

When he reached the final page, Freya spoke up. “I'm sorry.”
“For what?”
“Kristian ended up like this because he took a bullet for me.” She didn’t sugarcoat it. “He was hurt protecting

Isaac paused, and for a moment, a flicker of real emotion passed through him. “A bullet?”
Freya recounted everything—Brendan'’s trap, how Kristian had shielded her and taken the shot, laying out all the
crucial facts.
Lawrence had shown her the wound. Given its location and timing—if Kristian hadn't stepped in, there was a
ninety percent chance she would have been hit.

Looking back now, it was clear: Brendan had aimed for her.
He wanted Kristian to suffer just as he had.
Isaac listened in silence. When Freya finished, he gave her a small, reassuring smile, just like always. “Don’t take
all the blame. He made his choice—to protect someone he cares about. That's something to be proud of.”
Her guilt was etched all over her.
“You need my signature, right?” Isaac had already spotted the consent form she was holding.
Caught slightly off guard, Freya handed it over. “Yes.”
Isaac opened it, gave it a quick once-over, borrowed a pen from the café owner, and signed with practiced ease.
He handed the form back without the

“Okay.” Freya felt the guilt settle even deeper.
“Freya.” Isaac spoke her ngently.
She looked up, her eyes shadowed with guilt and a storm of unspoken thoughts.
