Chapter 86
Jean hugged Brad so tightly that he had to push her away a bit. He said, “The doctor said you’re not well. So, get some rest. I have a meeting to attend.”
After freeing himself from Jean’s embrace, he turned and left. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot
to take his coat, which was hanging on the rack.
As Jean watched Brad walk away, the tears in her eyes disappeared as well. She called Lynn over. “What did I tell you? I told you to be careful and not let anyone catch you, didn’t I? How are you so stupid?”
Lynn didn’t even dare to breathe. She stood cautiously by the door and said respectfully. “Ms. Sawyer, I realize my mistake now. I’ll be careful not to let anyone catch me next time. Please, help me this time for the sake of my loyalty to you.”
Jean’s face was stern, and her eyes were filled with anger as she coldly glared at Lynn. “Fine. I’ll save you this time. But if it happens again, you’ll have to find your own way out. I don’t keep idiots around.
“Get out and reflect on your actions. I’ll explain everything to Brad.”
With that, Lynn hurriedly exited the ward and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. She thought that
Jean was easy to manipulate. Now, she knew that Jean was an alluring snake lurking in the shadows.
It was Jean’s idea to lock the bathroom door. Yet, she pushed all the blame on Lynn and pretended to be
Lynn’s savior. So, Lynn had to be utterly loyal to her. Jean played her cards well.
But despite knowing Jean was a cunning and alluring snake, Lynn had no choice but to rely on Jean. She
had no other options.
Since it was an overcast day, there was no trace of sunlight. The sky darkened quickly. By 4:30 p.m., it was already dark.
But the streetlights hadn’t come on, making the damp air even colder. It was as if a penetrating chill was
running up one’s spine.
After leaving the hospital, Nadine took a cab to the Hamilton Estate to look for Sean. She searched everywhere, including the Clover Villa, but there was still no sign of her precious child.
Anxious and desperate, she called Brad again only to find that she was still blocked. She gave up on
calling him and continued to search the Hamilton Estate grounds. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
However, she still couldn’t find Sean even after turning the entire estate upside down. What’s more, Sean’s smartwatch was turned off, and Nadine didn’t know where the Hamiltons‘ bodyguards had taken
him.
Would they treat him well? Had he eaten? Was he scared?
The sky grew darker, and it was getting late. Nadine was cold, hungry, and exhausted. She had to stop.
searching for Sean and returned to the Phoenix Villa to wait for Brad.
This was his territory. If Nadine couldn’t find Sean, she had no choice but to wait here and hope he would
come home tonight.
But she wasn’t sure if he would come back, though. He loved Jean so much that he’d probably stay at the hospital with her.
The house was cold and dark. Even the lights weren’t turned on. Nadine fumbled for the light switch and collapsed on the living room couch. She felt as if her soul had been drained overnight.
Nadine and Brad had been married for over five years but never shared any heartfelt conversations. Aside from informing each other about daily matters, they had no other communication. Even when they had sex, there was no verbal interaction.
Due to his dissatisfaction with the marriage, Brad didn’t even know Nadine’s Instagram handle or her family members. Sometimes, Nadine really felt pathetic.
