Please Give Me Another Chance, Mrs. Hamilton novel Chapter 684

The lawyer hurried after Nadine. "Mr. Hamilton's life is still hanging by a thread, Mrs. Hamilton. Aren't you going a little too far? It's been over five hours since the incident, and his surgery has lasted just as long. Don't you care about his condition at all?"

If this had happened in the past, Nadine would've rushed to the hospital right away, even if all she could do was wait in the corridor and pray. She would've stayed by Brad's side. But this time, all she wanted was to finalize the divorce and sever all ties with him.

Nadine smiled at the lawyer. "If you're that worried about him, why don't you go to the hospital and wait for him instead? Wouldn't it be nice if you were the first person he saw when he regained consciousness?"

Ignoring the lawyer, she walked straight into the open night, hailed a cab, and went to Clover Villa to pick Sean up. Leaning against the car window, she saw her reflection in the glass and registered the joy in her eyes. This time, she was finally free from Brad.

The guards had locked the door from the outside, so the two women kept pounding on the door. "Get Daniel here! I'm his wife! Tell him to let me out!" Evelyn's voice was hoarse from shouting, but the door remained firmly shut.
