?Chapter 1061:

    Elsa stubbornly clung to her version of the story. “Rosanna only fell because she wasn’t watching her step. I never pushed her. Kenny just got caught up in it while trying to help. My heart is breaking for him; he is still unconscious…” The word “unconscious” shocked Ethan. He hadn’t realized how serious things were earlier—Kenny was actually in aa.

    Fury surged as Ethan leveled his re at Elsa, ming her for escting things too far. Ever since she’d left her job at Shirie University, she’d done nothing but cause trouble for both Kenny and him. Now, she’d gone so far as to shove her own daughter-inw down the stairs? How cruel was that?

    Each new thought sent Ethan’s anger spiraling higher. To him, Elsa was out of line, forcing Kenny and him to the brink of cutting ties with her.

    His words came out like ice. “Did Kenny hit his head? Mom, you’ve crossed the line this time. Wasn’t our family already in enough turmoil?”

    Brenna, still reeling from it all, thought Elsa hadn’t actually been so harsh with her. Knowing how Rosanna, a pilot with a strong physique, had been pushed to the point of a miscarriage by Elsa only showed how outrageous Elsa could be. In a hushed voice, Brenna asked Bess, “Did Rosanna really lose the baby?”

    Bess replied in a low voice, “No. She’s in maternity on an IV, trying to stabilize things. The doctor said the situation is critical, so they’re keeping her under close watch. Kenny acted as a cushion to save her when she fell, hitting the back of his head. The Mitchell family is all there, keeping watch outside the operating room.”

    Shock shed across Brenna’s face. “Wait, Kenny is unconscious and still in surgery?”

    That exined why he wasn’t answering any of Ethan’s calls.

    Bess said, “Kenny fainted right after he hit his head. He’s only just been taken into surgery. We still have no idea how things will turn out. See? Elsa lookspletely rattled. She can’t even meet Ethan’s eyes. You walked in without a word to her, and for once, she didn’t say much about it. She’s so worried about Kenny.”

    Ethan overheard that and red at Elsa. “Are you still going to oppose Kenny being with Rosanna? Their marriage is none of your business. Why can’t you just let them be happy? You’re retired—find something else to do. Travel. Enjoy yourself. Please, just stop stirring up trouble for everyone else.”

    With frustration weighing on him, Ethan turned and hurried off toward the operating suite to check on Kenny’s condition.

    Brenna trailed behind, casting a disdainful nce at Elsa as she left.

    ???????????????? ?????????????? ???????? g???????????????????????

    Honestly, Brenna thought Elsa was nothing but a headache, always causing trouble.

    Catching up quickly, Bess tugged at Brenna’s sleeve. “Let’s go see Rosanna. She’s all by herself right now. Her family’s too far away to get here, and the Mitchells are all waiting outside the operating room for Kenny.”

    Brenna agreed, and together, they made their way to the third-floor maternity ward. Sure enough, Rosanna sat alone there, hooked to an IV and lost in thought at the edge of her bed.

    “Rosanna,” Brenna and Bess called out together.

    Strong as ever, Rosanna didn’t let a single tear fall. She looked up at her visitors, nodded, and a quiet relief flickered in her eyes—their presence meant she wasn’t an outsider here.

    “You didn’t deserve any of this,” Brenna said gently as she settled onto the vacant bed nearby. Her gaze fell on the empty table at Rosanna’s side. No one had visited to bring her some water.
