NovelEnglishChapter 775 Nadine had always known that Brad was extremely busy to the point where he had no days off.
Although the Hamilton family was the most prestigious in Janctera City, Brad had never allowed himself a moment's rest since taking over Hamilton Group.
The vast empire they ran spanned countless industries-fashion, healthcare, construction materials, architecture, research, food, real estate, electronics, automotive manufacturing and sales, luxury jewelry, large shopping malls, and many more.

Yet, he not only attended Sean's kindergarten event but also stayed for lunch. And now, he was taking Sean to visit Adam at the hospital. Nadine couldn't help but wonder where he found the tto spare. She had a lot of questions in her mind, but she couldn't bring herself to ask them.
In their six years of marriage, she knew Brad's routine better than anyone. He typically woke up at 6:00 am and returned haround 11:00 pm. After returning home, as long as Nadine wasn't on her period, they would share moments of intimacy that often stretched until 1:00 am.
It was a routine that worried her for a long time, fearing for his heart. Afraid he might not be able to handle the strain, she made him different nourishing soups every day.
Had the sun risen in the west today? Brad had surprisingly taken the whole day off work. Was it a sign that something unusual was about to happen? Nadine was hesitating when the driver pulled up and stopped in front of them. Brad picked Sean up, glanced at Nadine from the corner of his eye, and got into the car without waiting for her. He knew full well that she wouldn't skip a visit to Adam.
Sure enough, she climbed in after him, closing the door silently, and sat as far away from him as possible, staring out the window. The ride to the hospital was filled with silence.
Adam's condition had stabilized, but with his heart under severe strain and no suitable donor available, he had to remain in the ICU. Due to his age and underlying health issues, he could only stay awake for a little more than 30 minutes each day.
Whenever she cto visit him, he was usually asleep, so she could only catch a distant glimpse of him through the ICU glass. Luck was on her side that day. Adam happened to be awake when they arrived.

Sean, ever energetic and missing his great-grandfather, let go of his parents' hands and dashed into the room, leaving the two adults behind. The hospital hallway was narrow, so when the two adults walked side by side, their shoulders nearly touched. Content Brad was already a stranger to Nadine, and the thought of being close to him was unsettling. Instinctively, she slowed her pace, hoping to create sdistance between them.
Considering her relationship with Brad, it felt inappropriate for them to walk side by side or to appear together in Adam's hospital room. But she underestimated Brad. He noticed her slowing down and he matched her pace, insisting on walking alongside her.
When she tried to slow down again, he couldn't help but blurt out, "After
everything Grandpa has done for you, can't you at least pretend we're still married to make him happy? You're so ungrateful!"
Brad was upset that Nadine had used him as a replacement for Jack, yet he couldn't stop thinking about her. Ever since he learned that Jean hadn't meant a single word she said to him, he had distanced himself from her.
After discovering her true intentions on New Year's Eve, he cut off all contact with her. He turned a deaf ear to any updates the bodyguards brought regarding Jean, showing no interest or concern. It was as if she had never meant anything to him. Their relationship was as good as over.
