NovelFinishChapter 496 Adam wasn't having any of Brad's bullshit. He whacked Brad's shin again. "Sit your ass down and behave! If you piss Nadine off again, I'll kick you out of here! It was supposed to be a nice, peaceful day, but you've ruined it! One more stunt like that, and I'll be the one breaking your legs!" Brad could tell his grandfather was about to snap, so he had no choice but to get a grip. He clenched his jaw and tried his best to calm down.
One of these days, he was going to put Nadine in her place. He wouldn't be Brad Hamilton if he didn't bring her to her knees.
Meanwhile, the VIP floor in Harborview Hospital that Jean had all to herself was now filled with other old folks due to Adam's intervention.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was so upset that she called Brad in tears, saying Adam was doing it on purpose to make her miserable.
But Brad didn't believe a word she said. He neither comforted her nor confronted Adam. He simply instructed Cameron to transfer her to a different hospital-Valor Military Medical Center, where they specialized in kidney diseases.
Because Brad pulled sstrings, Jean was placed in a VIP ward at the military hospital. The rooms on both sides of hers were empty, and the nurses even changed the flowers in her room every day.
Even though this hospital wasn't as highly regarded as Harborview, it was still better than being under Adam's watchful eye every day.
Although she had plenty of complaints, she had to bite her tongue. Jean could feel it; whenever she called Brad now, he wasn't as gentle and attentive as he used to be. Most of the time, he would just stay silent while she did all the talking.
It felt as if she was holding onto a handful of sand. No matter how tightly she grasped a fistful, it kept slipping through her fingers.
The thought filled her with dread, and she couldn't shake the feeling that Brad was drifting further and further away from her. The more she dwelled on it, the more insecure she became.
Those feelings of insecurity would always prompt her to call Brad. If he didn't answer her calls, she'd keep calling him until he picked up, irrespective of what he was doing. In that regard, Jean seemed to turn into a madwoman.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJean felt so hollow inside that it was almost unbearable, and she kept having nightmares about Brad leaving her for Nadine. It was a vicious cycle. The more she lay awake at night, the more she worried, and the more she worried, the less she could sleep.
She'd lost a ton of weight in just a few days and had acquired pronounced dark circles under her eyes that no amount of makeup could cover. The downward spiral was pushing her to the edge, leaving her mentally and physically exhausted.
It was the weekend, and Brad was supposed to visit her at the hospital. But it was already noon, and he still hadn't shown up. She was already a mess and this just made things worse. She picked up her phone and diated Brad's number over and over again.
Meanwhile, Brad had just been brought back to his senses by he m Adam's beating When be noticed Jean's npop up on his phone, he felt his temples throb. He muted his phone and let it buzz away.

repeatedly. He didn't need to see the caller ID to know it was that young wit lady from the Sawyer family. Cóntent
However, instead of asking about it, Adam observed his grandson's expression. The frown on his O M ve grandson's face told him everything he needed to know. With a smirk, he asked, "Is it Jean? Why aren't you picking up?"
