“Oh my gosh, could it be that coincidence? Could it really be Nadine from our hospital?
“It really could be! Did you see how tense the atmosphere was when she was checking on Jean’s ward earlier? I’m telling you it’s definitely her”
“Impossible! If she’s Brad’s wife, why didn’t she use her status as Mrs. Hamilton to pressure us
been giving her a hard time at work lately, and she’s endured it without a word. That doesn’t sound like a rich and powerful wife to me.”
“If I were Nadine. I’d definitely stand up to anyone who tried to bully me. I would definitely call over Hamilton’s bodyguards and have them slap the bully 20 times.”
“Now that you mention it. I really think it might be her! Why else would Brad let Dr. Sullivan off so easily if it wasn’t her?”
“Do you know that the Sullivan family is also powerful? Neither they nor the Hamiltons are families anyone wants to mess with. Just relax! However, based on what happened earlier, I doubt Nadine is Mrs. Hamilton.”
“So what if she really is? Everyone knows Brad and Nadine’s relationship has been rocky for years. Even after all this time, the tension is clear. What can Mrs. Hamilton possibly achieve by coming here? Can she outwit us?”
“Alright! Let’s not talk about this anymore. Are you guys done yet? We should hurry up and get back to
work!”
As their footsteps faded away, Nadine flushed the toilet and stepped out. Overhearing their gossip, she was confronted with the stark reality that Brad would always love Jean.

Nadine dried her hands and reached for the bathroom door, but it wouldn’t budge. She stepped back and pulled with all her might, but the door remained firmly shut.
It seemed that they knew she was inside and had locked her in as they left. Panic gripped Nadine’s heart.
She pounded on the bathroom door with all her strength, screaming for help. “Is anyone there? Help! Help!

Despite the warm air circulating in the hospital room, Brad couldn’t shake off his unease. An incessant twitch plagued his right eyelid
He couldn’t shake off the feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Jean watched him incessantly check his phone. His mind was clearly elsewhere, and a silent anger welled up within her.
He had promised to spend the day with her, but his thoughts were completely preoccupied. Was this what companionship meant?
Ever since Nadine left, his soul seemed to evaporate from his body. His attention drifted away from her. She felt both angry and resentful.
Yet, she pretended nothing had happened, all the while maintaining a cheerful and charming demeanor towards him.
“What’s wrong, Brad? Are you in a bad mood? Why aren’t you talking to me? Do you hate me. spoke, her nose twitched, and tears welled up in her reddening eyes.

He hadn’t said a word. He simply craved some peace and quiet to collect his thoughts. How did this turn into him hating her?
“Aren’t you being a bit too sensitive? It’s just such a small issue. Why did you get so upset?”
At this moment, Jean felt so strange to him. He just wanted to be quiet for a while. Confused by her reaction, he wondered how that could have made her cry.
