Brad used to despise Nadine and didn't care about her at all. No matter how much Evelyn humiliated her, he would turn a blind eye and ignore it, pretending like he didn't see anything.
Now that he was no longer blinded by his love for Jean, he could see her true colors. Not only did he like Jean less, but he also somehow came to hate her.
That day, even though he was in so much pain that his body was trembling and he could barely focus, he overheard what Evelyn said to Nadine.
At that moment, he entertained the thought that he wasn't Evelyn's biological son. Otherwise, Evelyn would have cared for him instead of making things difficult for Nadine.
Perhaps Nadine didn't mean anything by the conjecture she made, but it was different for Brad.
Before Evelyn and Jean entered the ward, Brad wanted to ask Daniel something. However, due to the two women's arrival, Brad had no choice but to keep the question that was at the tip of his tongue to himself.
Up to this point, Evelyn still slandered Nadine. Brad couldn't take it anymore, and he felt his anger rising.
When Evelyn realized Brad had fixed his gaze on her, she began to panic. She even wondered if Brad had discovered something. That said, she couldn't say anything to refute him, lest he truly did learn the truth. All she could do was keep up the act of a good mother.
"Brad, you're overthinking this. After you fainted that day, Nadine walked away on her own two feet. It had nothing to do with Jeanie and me, so don't accuse us. And although the photo Jeanie took doesn't prove much, it's still true that a man hugged Nadine.
"Nadine has been going on about the divorce for half a year now. Maybe she already has her eyes on that pretty boy. Don't be befuddled and accuse us for no good reason."
