This afternoon, she had been so angry with him that she didn't want to see him at all. She deliberately spent toutside with Sebastian until it was completely dark before returning. They even had dinner before coming back.
Just moments ago, Nadine was filled with disdain for Brad the moment she saw him at the entrance. But now, her heart clenched just from hearing that he hadn't eaten and had been waiting for them to return. She felt a pang of pity for him. However, Nadine quickly suppressed that feeling. She reminded herself not to pity him, or else she'd be miserable.

Though Nadine didn't feel sorry for him now, her heart still softened. After all, Brad was a patient, and she was a caregiver. Nadine couldn't just stand by and watch a patient suffer.
Hearing Nadine's gentle inquiry, Brad seemed momentarily dazed. Before their divorce, the slightest furrow of his brow would send her into a frenzy of concern. She'd ask questions and worry about his stomach to no end.
But now, even though he was in obvious pain, she only casually asked if he needed stakeout.
It was clear that Nadine no longer cared about Brad. The man she truly cared about had to be Jack. After all, a substitute could never replace the original. Brad gave a self-deprecating smile.

It had already been 20 minutes since Brad took the medicine. Why wasn't it taking effect yet? At this point, Nadine started suspecting that Brad might be faking it.
Still leaning against the couch, Brad opened his eyes and glanced at her. He scoffed before saying, "You think I'm an eyesore, don't you? Fine, you don't have to kickout. I'll leave on my own two feet." As he spoke, he tried to stand but staggered.

Nadine noticed his pale face just then. She couldn't bring herself to scold him any further. "Fine, I'll order takeout for you. Just lie down and rest."
In this situation, Nadine simply couldn't ignore Brad's suffering. Even е Bradise if he were a stranger, she wouldn't be able to turn a blind eye.
She walked back to the bed, picked up her phone, and opened theto order takeout for him.
As Brad lay on the couch, he smiled faintly. A trace of amusement M flickered in this eyes. She still cared a little bit about him after all, didn't she?
