It was late into the night. The world outside was shrouded in darkness, while the ward was softly lit by a bedside lamp. The shadows of the night made everything inside the hospital room appear soft and inviting.
The first thing Brad saw when he woke up was the person he'd been yearning for. His eyes lit up as he stared at Nadine. "Is that you, Nadine?"
As soon as he felt the warmth of her hand, he knew it wasn't a dream. It was real! Nadine was right here, by his side.
Unlike Brad, who was surprised and filled with joy, Nadine's expression was notably calm. The only reason she had stayed behind to take care of him was because Daniel had gone back to the company to handle an important deal and couldn't be here.
Not wanting her beloved father-in-law to tire himself out, she asked Travis to take Sean back to Phoenix Villa. She stayed behind to look after Adam and Brad.
Before coming to Brad's room, she first checked in on Adam. He was on a respirator and still under the effects of the anesthesia, so she stayed in the ICU for a short while before stepping out.
Brad's condition was much less severe than Adam's. He only needed to be monitored for a few days and could be discharged once the medication wore off, and the test results came back normal.
While she was taking care of Brad, her mind wandered back to when they had first gotten married six years ago, and she hadn't even noticed Brad was already awake.
