Nadine watched as the family of three was taken away in the police car and she let out a long sigh.
Then, she remembered Brad. When she looked over at him, she noticed a swarm of medical personnel surrounding him, completely blocking her view. Soon, a stretcher arrived, and the medics helped Brad onto it, hastily moving him away.
Nadine felt tears welling up in her eyes, and her nose tingled. The man lying on the stretcher turned his head slightly and gave her a gentle smile before being taken away on the surgical cart.
Nadine smiled back at him. Unfortunately, Brad missed it as he was being rushed into the operating room. The once chaotic scene suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Nadine regained her composure when the biting winter wind blew by. She took a moment to reflect on everything that had just happened and realized Brad was injured. She hadn't even noticed because she didn't care about him at all.
While she stood there, lost in her thoughts, her phone rang. It was Avery, and her voice was full of concern. "Babe, are you okay? Has everything been resolved now? Did Jennifer and her family all get taken in? I have to admit, I'm seeing Brad in a new light. He really stepped up this time!
"When David swung that knife at you, Brad put everything on the line. I'm telling you, if someone's willing to risk their life to save you, that shows how much you mean to him. You really ought to reconsider the divorce."
Someone had captured the moment David held a knife to Nadine's neck on video and posted it online. Because Brad appeared in the clip, it spread like wildfire, racking up billions of views.
After the video went viral, Avery, being chronically online, naturally stumbled upon it. She even tracked down a follow-up video that someone had captured with a drone and shared it online. Brad's courageous act of saving Nadine was etched in everyone's minds.
