Last night, her fury was so intense that she likely wanted to kill him, but in the end, all she did was slap him. She never let her tears fall.
Her cheeks had flushed, and her eyes were misty. Yet, they burned with defiance. Like two stubborn little flames refusing to be extinguished in the dead of winter, her gaze was fierce and unwavering.
There was immense hatred in her eyes. She clearly wanted to tear him apart, but she forcefully held herself back. Her fingers even turned white from the strain.

To avoid further complications, he softened his tone and tried to sound as though he was comforting her. "Jeanie, you're a patient. Don't overthink things. Don't eat breakfast just yet. I'll cover and take you to your checkup." Today was a regular workday, so Nadine would definitely be at the hospital. He'd be able to see her there. When he saw her, he'd be sure to give her a proper hug.
As soon as Jean heard he was coming to be with her, she immediately stopped crying. "Really? I'll be waiting for you." Brad reassured Jean verbally, but his mind was preoccupied with something else -how to make Nadine happy when he saw her.
The rift between them had deepened too much recently. She was constantly threatening divorce or running away from home, which was driving him crazy.
The Hamilton family had a strict rule passed down through generations-no Hamiltons, male or female, were allowed to divorce.
Those who did would be expelled from the family and removed from the family tree. This was the reason why Tristan had been disowned by Adam years ago.
So, even though Brad didn't particularly like Nadine, the thought of divorce never crossed his mind after they were married.
the He picked up the landline and instructed his driver to prepare car. After checking his appearance in the mirror, he grabbed his coat and headed straight to the hospital.
When Brad arrived, the attending, doctors had just started making their rounds. Since Jean was a VIP, they treated her with special care, even softening their tone when speaking to her.
"Mr. Hamilton, Ms. Sawyer's condition has been well-managed with the treatment so far. As long as her illness doesn't worsen, we have ton our side.

Thank you for your efforts." The doctor waved his hand modestly. "No need to thank me, Mr. Hamilton. Saving lives is our duty." Jean listened to the doctor's words with a faint smile on her face. When she looked at Brad, her eyes sparkled with affection.
Brad, though seemingly attentive to the doctor, was distracted. He was O scanning the medical staff for a familiar face. Today was a workday, but Nadine wasn't among the doctors and nurses making rounds. Why?
Just then, he thought about Sean's injury and Nadine's expression from the night before, and a sense of dread settled in his chest. After exchanging a few polite remarks with the doctor, he excused himself, saying he needed a smoke, and headed to the nurses' station.
"Excuse me, has Nadine Scott not cin today?" he asked.
The nurse, clearly captivated by the handsman before her, eagerly shared what she knew. "No. She's ΕΠ taken the day off."
