?Chapter 1072:

    Her words gave Elsa an out, halting her insistence on seeing Kenny.

    When Ethan reached Kenny’s hospital room, Kenny’s eyes had just fluttered open, meeting the anxious faces surrounding his bed. The sight of their concern jogged his memory of the moments before he had cked out, and worry surged through him. “Where’s Rosanna?”

    A collective sigh of relief swept through the room. Kenny’s concern about Rosanna showed his head was fine.

    Emmett grinned, his voice bright. “She’s okay, and the baby’s fine, too. She’s getting an IV in the maternity ward, should be done in about an hour.” Kenny’s head was freshly shaved, but it suited him stylishly.

    “Good. My mom didn’t give her a hard time, did she?”

    He couldn’t shake his worry about the tension between his mother and his wife.

    Emmett’s face darkened slightly. “No way. With all of us present, we wouldn’t let your mother do that. Your wife is carrying our family’s child, after all.”

    Cason chimed in, reassuring Kenny. “Just focus on getting better. Don’t stress. Rosanna wille to see you once her IV’s done.”

    Over in the maternity ward, Brenna had nned to head back to thepany for lunch, but with no one else to stay with Rosanna, she decided to stick around and went to grab some food.

    By one o’clock, Rosanna’s IV was finished, and Belen was wheeled into surgery. Brenna and Ethan waited outside the operating room together.

    Waiting for the procedure to end was tedious, so Brenna vented to Ellie about the drama between Elsa and Rosanna through messages.

    Ellie, in response, talked about crossing paths with Fay at the studio. Fay had bragged about her uing wedding to Jayceon in just over two months. She had ced an order for a ten-million-dor wedding dress in her studio.

    It felt like she was showing off to Ellie on purpose.

    After more than an hour, Belen was back in her hospital room, and Brenna finally left with Ethan.

    Ethan’s day was packed, and the morning’s chaos had thrown off his schedule. He also had a dinner meeting lined up.

    He dropped Brenna off at her ce before heading to a high-end restaurant to meet Waldo about investment matters.

    Back at home, Brenna copsed onto the couch, drained from the day’s events. Julia handed her a ss of water.

    Brenna noticed several chefs bustling in the kitchen, the dining room already set with an unusuallyvish spread. “Are we expecting guests today?” she asked.

    Julia’s face showed resignation. “Yes, Rosie and Maxley are stopping by to talk with Dalton about a concert in Plieca.”

    Brenna’s mood soured at the mention of Rosie’s visit. Despite her disdain for the Harper family, Rosie still put on an act and wanted to visit them.

    “Couldn’t they meet somewhere else?” Brenna grumbled to Julia. “Did Dalton agree to this?”

    Julia sighed, equally frustrated. “At first, your parents were against Dalton doing a concert in Plieca, especially after you almost got into trouble there. But Rosie insisted that his TV show’s poprity in Plieca makes it a golden opportunity for a concert, saying that he could make a lot of money from it.”

    “Dalton doesn’t care about the money,” Brenna said, finishing her water, the aroma of the food sharpening her hunger.
