Brad was currently in his most vulnerable state. If Evelyn had Jean stay by his side and take care of him, his impression of her would definitely improve. Since Jean wanted to stay and take care of him, Evelyn wanted to fulfill her wish.
However, Brad, who was sitting up on the hospital bed, said, "Dad, I only want Nadine. I don't want anyone else."
The longer he looked at Jean, the less he wanted to see her. He wondered why Jean was so full of lies.
Brad gave Daniel the perfect reason to dismiss Jean's intention. Daniel shook off Evelyn's hand and looked at Jean coldly. "Brad said he only wants Nadine. You should save yourself the trouble and just go home."
Daniel couldn't help but glance at Brad. He was glad to learn that Brad was at least clear-headed.
If Brad had the slightest intention of wanting Jean to stay, Daniel wouldn't have bothered to bring Nadine over.
Unexpectedly, Brad's response to Jean's plea was cold and heartless. It hurt Jean deeply. She didn't expect him to be so cruel, so she cried uncontrollably.
"Brad, I just want to take care of you. Can't you let me do that?"
Brad looked straight into her eyes and said firmly, "No way!"
The finality of Brad's words completely shattered Jean's remaining hope.
Jean didn't want to pretend anymore. She pulled out her phone, found the photo she had just taken, and showed it to Brad. "Look! Do you recognize the man and woman in this photo? This is Nadine. She's with Sebastian now, and she doesn't have the time to visit you at all."
