Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 322

Kate chuckled and shook her head.

That reckless streak she had… it was a bit like her own when she was young.

She knew she couldn't be with Harold, couldn't even allow herself to love him.

Yet, she had his child.

Unfortunately.

Her recklessness had been a mistake.

And because of it, he never got to see his child grow up.

Isabel entered the hospital room.

Julian's lack of surprise was expected, but everyone else was shocked.

They quickly surrounded her.

"How are you?"

"Are you hurt? That bastard didn't touch you, did he?"

"Mommy." Edmund hugged her. "I'm sorry, I was useless."

Isabel knelt and hugged him back. "Silly boy, don't blame yourself for everything."

"I could say the same to you," Julian spoke up. "Alright, everyone, stop with the melodrama. Didn't I tell you Ms. Caldwell would bring her back safe and sound?"

Amanda also felt guilty. "Isabel, I'm sorry I couldn't help."

Isabel squeezed her hand. "This is the last time I want to hear that. Don't say it again. I understand."

"Yeah," Evelyn said. "If you're sorry, then I should be sorry too. I couldn't help either."

"Me too." Miles raised his hand. "I'm part of the Durantin family, for crying out loud. I just stood by and watched my cousin get snatched away by that dog. I couldn't do anything. I'm sorry."

Amanda laughed through her tears, feeling a bit helpless as the tension broke.

"Alright, everyone," Julian said again. "Let me have my wife back. I'd like to eat. I'm starving."

Only then did Amanda remember. "Oh no, we didn't bring the food up. It must be frozen solid by now."
