1. Brooke’s Pain Before Her First Exam

It was eight o’clock in the morning. Soft sunlight filtered through the bedroom window, but Brooke’s room remained enveloped in deep darkness and silence. Brooke lay in bed covered under a blanket, tears streaming continuously down her face. Today was her first university exam, but she had flatly refused to go.

Seeing her in this state, her parents, Larry and Bethany, became deeply worried. Larry stepped forward and placed his hand on Brooke’s forehead—she was burning up. She had a severe fever, and her face looked pale.

Bethany tenderly held Brooke’s hand and asked gently, “Brooke, my child! What happened to you? Why are you refusing to go to university like this? Your entire future is tied to this degree. Tell us, what is the matter?”

At first, Brooke stayed silent, but seeing her mother’s love and her father’s concern, she broke down and wept bitterly.

2. A Father’s Anger and Determination

Her voice cracked as she spoke. She had taken the betrayal so deeply to heart that the shock left her physically and mentally exhausted. The intense mental stress had caused her body temperature to spike, leaving her severely ill.

When Larry heard these words from his daughter, his blood boiled. For a father, seeing his daughter in such a condition because of someone else’s betrayal was unbearable. A surge of anger flashed in his eyes.

Bethany tried to calm Larry down, “Larry, easy! Brooke needs us right now.” However, Larry had already made up his mind. Isaiah needed to come in person, own up to his mistake, and apologize to Brooke.

3. Larry Brings Isaiah Face-to-Face

Larry left the house immediately and headed straight toward Isaiah’s neighborhood. He didn’t have to search for long. Isaiah was standing outside a cafe with a few friends, laughing and talking as if he hadn’t an ounce of regret.

Without wasting a second, Larry marched up, grabbed Isaiah by the collar, and dragged him aside. Isaiah and his friends panicked.

Seeing the raw anger and authority on Larry’s face, all of Isaiah’s pride vanished. He quietly got into the car with Larry.

4. Isaiah Apologizes and Brooke Finds Peace

When Larry brought Isaiah home and led him straight into Brooke’s room, both Bethany and Brooke were stunned. Tears welled up in Brooke’s eyes once more when she saw Isaiah standing before her.

Larry pushed Isaiah forward and ordered, “Now speak! Say whatever you have to say to her face.”

Isaiah hung his head in shame. Looking at Brooke’s pale face and burning forehead, he felt genuine remorse. He bent down near Brooke’s bed and pleaded desperately:

Brooke took a deep breath, wiped her tears, and said softly, “Fine, Isaiah… I forgive you, but only on the condition that you never show your face in my life again.”

Isaiah quietly nodded and left the room at Larry’s signal.
