RankNovelChapter 337 Deep down, Jean was truly terrified. She was afraid that Brad might actually stop caring about her. In Janctera City, she had nothing left except Brad.
Last night, she desperately wanted him to be with her, so she called him. But for sreason, he didn't pick up.
This made her incredibly anxious. She couldn't help but wonder if Brad had fallen for Nadine and if that was why he didn't answer her calls.
Brad, who hadn't slept all night, had been working overtat the office. Now, dark circles shadowed his eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRubbing his tired temples, he tried to comfort Jean, whose voice on the other end of the phone sounded deeply unsettled.
"There was an issue with a project at work at night, so I had to stay late. I didn't have my phone with me.
"By the tI saw your call, it was already the middle of the night. I figured you were asleep and didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't return your call." In truth, he did have tafter leaving the hospital last night, but his mind had been in turmoil. He just didn't want to see Jean. Even he wasn't sure why he told such a harmless little lie to Jean.
Once, he had loved her deeply. Yet, now, he found himself suddenly reluctant to face her.
Nadine's bloodshot eyes, the deep-seated hatred within, and the forceful slap she gave him still lingered in his mind. Even now, while speaking to Jean, he couldn't shake the image of Nadine's pained expression.
He must have really pushed her to the edge. Nadine, who was usually so gentle, looked like a firecracker ready to explode as she yelled at him with reddened eyes. Had he really gone too far last night? Jean could sense the indifference in Brad's tone and understood the emptiness behind his words, but she didn't call him out on it.
After coughing heavily while Vol clutching her chest, she softened her voice and said, "Brad, you promised to be withfor the checkup yesterday. You know how scared I am of needles. And the nurse in charge is Nadine..." She didn't finish her sentence, but the implication was clear.
Somehow, her words struck a nerve with Brad. His voice suddenly rose. "Nadine isn't someone who mixes personal feelings with business f.n Even if I'm not there, she'll do her job properly. She would never harm you!" There was a strong undertone of irritation in his voice, something he hadn't even realized. All he knew was that he didn't want to hear anyone badmouth Nadine.
Jean's heart skipped a beat, and a taut string deep within her snapped. At that moment, she knew without a doubt that Nadine held a far more significant place in Brad's heart than she had ever imagined.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPanic set in, and tears began to stream down her face. "What do you mean by that, Brad? haven't even said anything yet, and you're already defending Nadine!" She hadn't been wrong. Brad had indeed developed feelings for Nadine over time.
The man who once swore undying love to her was no longer the pure-hearted young man he used to be. His promises remained, but his heart had changed.
If she hadn't been tempted by Adam's offer of 200 million dollars six years ago and had chosen to stay by Brad's side during his darkest hour, would Nadine have ever had the chance to swoop in? Realizing that Brad was slipping away from her, like sand slipping through her fingers, Jean began to panic. Really panic.
Her tears fell uncontrollably, like a string of pearls breaking and scattering everywhere.
