Since Jean and Evelyn were there to take care of Brad, Nadine saw no reason to stick around. She didn't have to repay him anymore. That kind of thing was for people with a conscience, and for someone like her, who had none, it was utterly meaningless.
After leaving the hospital room, Nadine couldn't stop thinking about Evelyn's expression. What kind of mother didn't love her own child?
If Sean were the one in pain like Brad was, there was no way she'd be wasting time arguing with someone else. All she'd be focused on was her child, her entire being consumed with worry for him. There wouldn't be room in her mind for anyone else.
Yet, just a moment ago, Evelyn not only ignored Brad, who was curled up on the bed in agony, but she also let him lie there on the hospital bed without care, rushing over to confront Nadine instead. What was going on? Was Brad not her biological son?
Almost immediately, she dismissed that assumption. There was no way Daniel would tolerate such humiliation, after all.
…
As soon as Nadine left, Jean rushed to Brad's bedside, gripping the rails tightly while looking at him curled up in pain. "Brad, are you okay? Does it still hurt? I'll call the doctor right now!"
Her cheek still burned from Nadine's slap, and her eyes were blazing with fury. But Nadine was already gone. She couldn't take it out on her, so all Jean could do was focus on Brad.
This time, she was determined to make the most of the opportunity Evelyn had given her. She would do her best to win Brad back.
