Nadine didn't particularly dislike Zara, nor did she mind her pursuing Brad. In fact, she secretly hoped Zara would succeed. That way, Brad would stop pestering her, and she'd never have to see him again.
However, Zara had crossed a line. Nadine couldn't believe that she would seduce Brad right in front of her during working hours.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs a medical professional, Zara's job was to focus on her patients, not prance around in front of them like a peacock. Such behavior did nothing but tarnish the reputation of healthcare workers. Hence, Nadine couldn't hold her tongue any longer.
Zara didn't take Nadine's sharp criticism to heart at all. "Why are you making such a big deal out of this, Nadine? I'm doing you a favor by dealing with this problem for you, aren't I?" Zara was well aware that Nadine wanted nothing to do with Brad and was desperate to shake him off. That was exactly why she insisted on staying in his room. She figured that Nadine would eventually give her an opening to win Brad over.
But things hadn't gone as Zara had hoped. Ultimately, the first person to call her out wasn't Brad or anyone else -it was Nadine! That really grated on her nerves.
"I know you don't like him, Nadine, and I'm trying to help you out. The least you could do is thankinstead of tearing into me. Don't you feel even a little guilty for being so ungrateful?" In reality, Zara intended to take things further with Brad that very day. Hence, she was armed with drugs when she walked into the hospital room.
Colorless and tasteless, this drug only required a light spray near the nose to stir deep desire. It was far more potent and fast-acting than what Jean had once used on Brad.
Unfortunately, her plan didn't work out. When Brad lost his temper and shoved at the equipment to the floor, he accidentally bumped her hand at the exact moment she was about to spray the drug on him. Consequently, the drug was sprayed in Nadine's direction instead.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSince the drug was colorless and odorless, and her movements had been subtle, no one noticed what had happened-not even Nadine. It all happened in a split second, with the fallen equipment providing perfect cover.
Nadine was still fuming over Zara's shameless antics. Noticing no sign of remorse from her, she dug in her heels. "It's working hours right now. If you want to pull this nonsense, do it on your own time. Stop polluting the environment here with your antics!"
Nadine couldn't understand how someone like Zara could becSeraphina's assistant. A healthcare el worker who spent her work hours ogling men instead of doing her job-how had she even passed the exams? The head nurse quickly pieced together what had happened. Noticing the rising tension between Zara and Nadine, she called for housekeeping to clean up the mess and asked Seraphina to sort things out.
When Seraphina arrived and got the full picture, she immediately called Zara out for a scolding. In the end, Nadine was left alone in the room with Brad.
Once everyone had cleared out of the room, she realized something was terribly wrong. Her entire body felt G like it had been dipped in boiling water hot, burning, and aching. The heat coursed through her veins, from her core to the crown of her head.
She felt so weak that she couldn't even stand properly. If Brad hadn't. caught her just in tshe would have collapsed to the floor. Worse still, there was a gnawing emptiness inside her, a hunger she couldn't ignore-a desperate need to be filled.
