Brad wished Jean would recover soon. Not wanting her to be depressed, he kept comforting her in hushed tones and telling jokes to cheer her up.
This eased the intense jealousy Jean harbored toward Nadine. The fact that Brad was willing to leave Nadine in the middle of the night to come and see her was enough to show that he truly cared for her.
Relishing his concern for her, Jean smiled.
"Thank you, Brad." She took his hand in hers, which was attached to an IV needle. "There's something I've been wanting to tell you. Now I think I'm ready to say it.
"I left you and Janctera City back then because Mr. Hamilton Senior told me to. It has nothing to do with Nadine. I've misunderstood her."
The moment she brought this up, Brad's expression darkened.
"This has nothing to do with you. You don't have to speak up for her. She doesn't deserve it! Now, go to sleep. The doctor said you need rest."
Brad withdrew his hand and covered Jean's eyes, refusing to let her speak any more.
Despite having her eyes covered, she flashed a sweet smile at him and said, "Alright. I'll do as you say. You'll stay with me tonight, won't you? If you will, I'll do whatever you say."
Brad patted her back with his other hand. "Alright."
Watching the scene before her in the corner of the room, Lynn whisked out her phone and snapped a photo of the two. Then, she posted it online.
The previous incident where Brad wrapped a woman in his coat at Rose Garden was still trending. Lynn's photo of him keeping Jean company in her ward did nothing but fuel the rumor that he doted on Jean.
