Chapter 863
Nadine had no idea why Brad was in her hospital room. Sebastian was the one
who had brought her to the hospital, yet when she woke up, Brad was the one
standing there.
The moment she noticed the man's dark, brooding expression, she instinctively
shrank back. It wasn't out of fear-she simply didn't want to deal with him. Nadine
shot him a cold look, threw off the covers, got out of bed, and tried to leave.
"Stop right there!" Brad snapped, standing in her way. "Are you looking for
Sebastian? Well, you won't be able to find him!"
Seeing her wake up only to immediately attempt to leave infuriated him. He was
angry that she used him as a substitute and didn't care for her own well-being.
What irritated him more was that she was concerned about Sebastian.
How could Brad not feel frustrated? She cared about everyone except him.
Nadine stopped in her tracks and looked up at the man who towered over her. Her
eyes were filled with rage as she yelled, "What did you do to Sebastian?"
This was Brad, after all. He often acted without thinking of the consequences.
Who knew what he might have done to Sebastian?
The mere thought of Sebastian suffering because of her filled Nadine with guilt.
He had done so much for her already. The idea that he might endure Brad's wrath
on her account weighed heavily on her heart.
Brad's anger only grew as he watched her fret over Sebastian. "What have I done
to him? That depends on you! As long as you behave yourself and come with me,
he'll be fine."
What did Nadine take him for? A ruthless tyrant? If anything, he was grateful to
Sebastian. If it weren't for him, who knew what Nadine would have had to face?
The last thing he wanted was to harm Sebastian. In fact, the only reason
Sebastian wasn't here now was because his family needed him to fly back to
Chillnada on urgent business.
Nadine's face flushed with anger.
Clenching her fists, Nadine lashed
out at him. "Brad Hamilton, whatever
issues you have, they're with me!
Leave Sebastian out of this! If younoveldrama
have a problem, take it up with me.
Don't drag him into it!"
Had it not been for her, Sebastian wouldn't have crossed paths with the Hamilton
family. If Brad had hurt him, she would do whatever she could to help him.
Brad hadn't expected Nadine to go
to such lengths for Sebastian.
Seeing her so distraught, any
amusement he might have felt
earlier vanished in an instant. Was
Sebastian really that important to
her? If something had happened to
him that day, would she have been
just as worried?
"Is that so? Fine, then! I won't make things hard for him. I'll make things hard for
you instead! Since you're okay, you're coming back to Phoenix Villa with me!"
Nadine parted her lips and was about to refuse when he added, "Sean's still at
Phoenix Villa."
Those few words stopped her in her tracks, forcing her to swallow all her protests.
Her Achilles' heel, Sean, was still in Brad's hands. What else could she say?
Grinding her molars, she glared at Brad's back and reluctantly got into his car. By
the time they left the hospital, it was well past midnight.
The streets were nearly empty, save
for the neon lights that painted the
city in a kaleidoscope of colors.
Along the river, the shimmering glow
on the water's surface stretched
endlessly, like a dazzling, twisting
dragon.
Nadine gazed at the passing scenery outside the window, but her mind was
elsewhere. The only thing on her mind was what Brad would soon do to her.
What do you think?
