Twisted Ties of Love (Izabella Salotti and Brett) novel Chapter 207

Liam never thought that the always busy Brett would actually knit scarves in his free time.

And, why did the scarf in his hand look so familiar?

Brett was a quick learner in everything, but he was clumsy when it came to knitting scarves. He had watched the tutorial many times, but still couldn't get it. The scarf he made was uneven and the lines were twisted.

Hearing the noise at the door, Brett frowned and looked over without putting down the needle and thread in his hand. He calmly looked at Liam, who was standing outside.

Liam felt a chill from his gaze and hesitated before calling out, "President Windham."

Brett simply hummed in response and finally put down the needle and thread.

The entire scene felt uncomfortable, and Liam was embarrassed. If he didn't have something to tell Brett, he would have left already.

Liam walked in with a folder, "President Windham, here is the company's report for this month, please take a look."

Brett took a sip of cold water, "Just put it on the table."

After putting the folder on the table, Liam's gaze turned to Brett again, still hesitating.

"Is there anything else?"

"President Windham, Ryker Dempsey has disappeared."

Brett's eyes widened, "Disappeared?"

"Yes," Liam said. "The orphanage director has reported the case and they have been looking for him for over a month, but he's still missing. Ryker has always been a little slow, so... the situation doesn't look good. The police have decided to treat the case as a death."

After investigating Ryker's identity, Liam hadn't paid much attention to him. In addition, recent events kept them busy, and Izabella had become a vegetable, with Brett watching over her day and night. Liam had been dealing with most of the work piled up.

When people were busy, it was easy to overlook some things, and that was exactly what happened to Ryker.

Knowing that Ryker had once saved Brett's life, Liam rushed to the hospital as soon as he learned of his misfortune.

Brett didn't have a deep impression of Ryker, and when he learned that he was Cameron Windham, aside from being surprised, he felt a sense of crisis.

Brett worried that if Izabella and Ryker interacted too much, she might find out that he was the one who saved her all those years ago.

"President Windham, should we arrange for someone to look for him?"

"Yeah, do that, and donate some money to the Happy Nest Orphanage while you're at it," Brett looked at Izabella's face. "Do it in Izabella's name."

After leaving the hospital, Brett got up and stretched his neck. Outside the hospital were many ginkgo trees, which were beautiful in every season.

The leaves were beautiful in spring, summer, and autumn, but in winter, the charm was in the branches and trunks covered with a thin layer of snow.

Brett admitted that he was a selfish person. When he heard that Ryker disappeared, he was surprised but had no extra feelings, not even a bit of concern. He even thought it was better for Ryker to disappear.

That way, when Izabella woke up, she would not find any clues and would always regard him as the person who had saved her.

A month had passed, and the person Brett sent out to investigate Ryker's disappearance received news. Ryker's traces were found by the sea.
