Chapter 28
Nadine had sent out countless resumes, but they all vanished into thin air without any response.
Since no company was willing to hire her, she accepted Tyler’s suggestion and joined Harborview Hospital as his assistant.
Her medical school background made it relatively easy to pick up where she had left off. With Tyler’s help, she adapted to her new life within just a week.
Upon receiving Brad’s call and hearing about Adam’s Illness, she was frantic with worry.
She sought Tyler to learn more about Adam’s condition and lingered in his office for a while.
Knowing she was upset, Tyler patted her shoulder to comfort her. When he saw her in tears over Adam’s illness, he squeezed her shoulder to offer support and strength.
What neither of them expected was Jean walking in and witnessing the scene.
She immediately informed Brad, who was standing just outside. When she did that, she emphasized the
term “Mrs. Hamilton“.
Nadine’s heart sank at once.

Nadine’s mood instantly turned gloomy. She was worried about implicating Tyler, so she quickly stepped
back to avoid his hand.
But it was too late. Brad had seen everything.

His brows furrowed tightly. When he looked at Nadine, his gaze seemed to drip with venom.
Then his eyes landed on Tyler’s right hand. His gaze turned sharp, as if he wanted to mutilate Tyler’s hand with his eyes.

Brad noticed the challenge in Tyler’s eyes. He shot him a glare and went straight past Jean to confront Nadine. “Didn’t I tell you to go pick up Sean to see Grandpa? I thought Grandpa adored you the most. Is this how you repay him?

“He’s waiting for Sean at his sickbed, and you’re here fooling around with other men. Don’t you feel sorry
for him?”
After stopping beside Nadine, he reached out his right hand and firmly grasped her shoulder before shooting a gaze toward Tyler.
Where his hand landed was exactly where Tyler had touched earlier.
Nadine didn’t want any more physical contact with Brad, so she quickly escaped his grasp and stood far away from him.
Witnessing Brad’s series of actions from the side, Jean was filled with resentment. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
How could Brad touch Nadine right in front of her? How could he do this? Realizing she was being ignored, she coughed repeatedly while covering her chest.
