Chapter 562 Jean laid feebly on the hospital bed in Valor Military Medical Center, her eyes red and puffy. She had tried to take her own life by overdosing on sleeping pills but failed.
Lynn stood next to the hospital bed and softly urged, "Please stop crying, Ms. Sawyer. The doctor said it'll only make things worse for you." Ever since Brad left in disappointment that day, Lynn had been filled with nothing but resentment toward Jean. How could someone as seemingly intelligent as Jean fail to pick up on her cues and manage to drive Brad away? There was no telling when he'd show up again. Forget about Lynn wanting to see him-even Jean would find it nearly impossible to catch a glimpse of him now.
Even though she resented Jean, she couldn't let it show. After all, no one else would pay as much for a caregiver as Brad did, and she desperately needed that money. With it, her quality of life had vastly improved.

These days, she didn't have to hesitate to buy serums that cost thousands of dollars. She no longer had to stare at the luxury serums for ages, too afraid to even ask for a sample.
With her increased incand the near-new clothes that Jean occasionally handed down to her, Lynn's style had improved significantly. She was no longer that meek girl she used to be and now carried herself with far more confidence. It had reached the point where people were stopping her on the street to ask for her contact information.
These were all things she'd never had the chance to experience before. Having tasted the sweetness of life, how could she ever go back to the bitter days of the past? Even though Jean was wallowing in self-pity and seemed utterly defeated, Lynn remained by her side, encouraging her.
"Ms. Sawyer, you will have the last laugh in the end. Things are far from over, so you can't give up yet!" Lying on the hospital bed, Jean's eyes finally cback into focus, but she still looked like a lifeless doll. Her gaze was empty and dull, as if she were a flower that had long since wilted.
After listening to Lynn's words, Jean smiled wryly. "You don't have to try and comfortanymore. He's not going to visitagain. I was still under the effects of the anesthesia, and yet the first thing he did was questionabout why I did that to Nádine.
"But what he doesn't understand is that I'm the one who should have been his rightful wife! That bitch is nothing but a nobody! "He toldhe'd marry me, yet he ended up marrying someone else. Even so, kept telling myself that he still lovedand that Nadine was just a temporary stand-in. But Row I know that he's already fallen for her. The one he loves is Nadine, and he's already broken our promises a long tago.
"You have no idea how heartbroken I am, Lynn. I'm in such a fragile state that I can't even move, yet all he cared about was confrontingover Nadine! He didn't care about my condition at all! I guess... he really doesn't wantanymore." Jean felt utterly defeated when she thought about how cold and distant Brad had been toward her. She just couldn't cto terms with the fact that he no longer loved her.

Noticing how devastated she was, Lynn continued, d. "Msx Sawyer, don't think MNHamilton has completely given up on you. If he truly didn& ne
care about you anymore, why would he still be paying for your hospital bifts? If he really didn't care, he En.
wouldn't be paying for any of it.
"He's just under Nadine's spell right now. As long as you expose her true colors and tear away the mask she's using to deceive Mr. Hamilton, he'll crunning back to you." Jean's interest was immediately piqued, and she forced herself to sit up. "Do you have any good ideas?" Lynn pulled out her phone and pointed at a news article. "We can use this!"
