Chapter 63
“Go to Jean if you’re horny! Isn’t she your true love? Get lost! You scumbag! You keep claiming to love Jean, but you still cheat on her. Do you think she’ll ever forgive you?”
Due to her fierce resistance, or perhaps the mention of Jean, Brad was unable to take advantage of her. Nadine’s nails left a scratch on Brad’s flawless jaw. He touched the small wound on his jaw and let out a cold snort. Then he turned to leave.
Bam! The thunderous sound of a door slamming shut jolted Nadine awake. After a moment of silence, she heard Brad’s phone ringing.
She heard Brad pick up the phone. His voice was gentle as he spoke to the person on the other end. “I’m on my way.”
Then there was a moment of silence, and then she could no longer hear Brad’s voice.
A few minutes later, a car rumbled out of the garage and vanished into the rainy night. Its headlights pierced the darkness for a moment before the car vanished into the cold night.
Only when the sound of the car engine faded did Nadine realize Brad had left.
She collapsed weakly onto the bed where she had once shared countless intimate moments with Brad. Her mind was completely blank.
“Mommy! Mommy! What’s wrong?”
Upon hearing Sean’s voice, Nadine hurriedly sat up and straightened her clothes.
She’d just finished tidying up when Sean burst through the door and asked, “Mommy, I heard you. screaming. Are you alright?”
Sean’s heartfelt concern ignited a spark of warmth in Nadine’s otherwise cold heart
Forcing a smile, she crouched down in front of her son and stroked his little face. “It’s nothing. I just had a little argument with your dad.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Sean gently brushed away a stray strand of hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear before hugging
her tightly.
“Don’t worry, Mommy. Once I learn taekwondo, I can protect you! Sign me up right now!”
With her son’s comforting words, Nadine’s mood lifted considerably. Settling into the taxi with Sean,
Nadine felt despair sink in as the chilling rain lashed around them.
She left Phoenix Villa without glancing back
The winters in Janctera City were particularly chilly when it rained.
The cold wasn’t something one merely felt on the skin It was a bone–chilling dampness that seeped into
the very core, like an unrelenting parasite clinging to the body.
The rain fell in a relentless drizzle the next morning, and it seemed like it would never stop. Swept along by the rain, the fallen yellow leaves carpeted the streets. The scene was melancholic.
Nadine had to squeeze into a crowded bus to take Sean to kindergarten. When Nadine finally arrived at the hospital after dropping off Sean, she was three minutes late.
Rushing into the office to avoid being late, she found Tyler had already gathered all the nurses for their morning rounds. Everyone was waiting for her.
Realizing she had delayed the rounds, Nadine apologized quickly. “I’m so sorry I’m late.”
Tyler glanced at her and gave a slight nod. “Hurry up and change into your uniform,” he said. “It’s time for rounds.”
Without any delay, Nadine swiftly changed into her nurse’s uniform and hurried after the group
Having studied abroad before, Tyler was not only accomplished but also handsome. It was no wonder that many young nurses in the department secretly admired him.
When Nadine stood beside Tyler, others would occasionally squeeze in and crowd her out. It took Nadine a while to understand she was being ostracized.
But she didn’t care about all this. Her focus was solely on doing her job well and ignoring the petty actions of others. Soon, they arrived at Jean’s ward.
