Chapter 68
When Brad received Jean’s call, he mistook it for Nadine’s. Without looking at the caller ID, he asked, ” Where are you?”
Not only was his tone sharp but it was also filled with dissatisfaction. It was a far cry from his usual easygoing demeanor.
Startled by his brusque tone, Jean feared that she had done something to offend him.
Her voice trembled as she stifled a few sobs. “Brad, what’s wrong? Did I do something?” she asked. timidly.
Already on edge, Brad found himself growing more and more irritated by her sniffling. “What’s the matter? Are you going to cry over everything I say?”
Perplexed by her sudden outburst, he couldn’t fathom what had upset her. Her tendency to cry easily only made his annoyance worse.
“I didn’t say anything either!”
Before he could finish speaking, the call had already been disconnected. Frustration gnawed at Brad as he stared at the disconnected phone. Had he said something so unforgivable?
On his grandfather’s instructions, he searched for Nadine for a long time. Despite his efforts, he couldn’t find her and eventually had to give up.
When Brad returned to the ward alone, Adam noticed Nadine wasn’t with him.
Adam’s face contorted in fury. The veins bulged on his forehead as he shouted, “What are you doing
here? Get out! Get out! Get out of here!”
As he spoke, he grabbed an apple from the nightstand and threw it at Brad. “Damn it! I get furious every
time I see you. Call Nadine over! I only want to see her! I won’t take my medicine if she doesn’t come!”
