Answer : It was also kind of unclear to me too but i hope this helps you out a little !! :)

Edgar nurses Catherine for the next two months. During this time, it is revealed that Catherine is pregnant. Edgar longs for a male heir, to prevent Heathcliff and Isabella from inheriting the Grange.

Six weeks after she runs away, Isabella sends a letter to Edgar, announcing her marriage and begging forgiveness. He does not reply. After that, a distraught Isabella sends a letter to Nelly, questioning the humanity of Heathcliff. She tells Nelly that they are living at Wuthering Heights and begs for a visit

Answer:

She reveals to Nelly that she is afraid of being alone and she is restless because Heathcliff is not around her.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wuthering Heights is the only finished novel written by Emily Bronte, under the pseudonym "Ellis Bell," published in 1847, and written in Victorian Era. The novel contains gothic fiction elements.

One night Catherine tells Nelly about the proposal made by Edgar to her for hand in marriage and she confesses that she had agreed to it. Heathcliff overhears this conversation that marrying Heathcliff would "degrade" her so she is marrying Edgar. Heathcliff does not listen to the whole conversation in which Catherine later confesses her love for him. Heathcliff runs away from the Wuthering Height and disappears for three years. Meanwhile, Catherine makes herself sick in the absence of Heathcliff. When Nelly was tending her, she makes some important revelation to her, "I'm afraid of being alone." Catherine was used to having someone around her, whether her father, Nelly, Heathcliff or Edgar. Secondly, she reveals that she longs to live her childhood, the time when she was most happy. She wants to go out and play on the moors. She is restless after Heathcliff left, "I won't rest till you are with me."
