The night before, the two of them had ended up at the police station and parted ways on bad terms. Nadine had stormed off, hopping into a cab with nothing on her mind except getting as far away from him as possible. She'd completely forgotten about her belongings until Brad reminded her about them.
Looking at the smug expression on the man's face, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and give in. "If I stay, will you giveback my phone?" Her phone contained a lot of important materials, all related to heart transplantation, many of which were hard to acquire. She didn't want to lose them.
Besides, why should she have to lose something that was hers to begin with? If all it took to retrieve her phone was swallowing her pride for a moment, she could live with that.
Brad arched his brows and grinned without a word. To get her phone back, Nadine looked at Zara, who was still bent over disinfecting the equipment. "Ms. Zimmerman, I don't have anything else to do right now. Why don't I take over Mr. Hamilton's examination so you can focus on your other tasks?" While she spoke to Zara, Brad had already let go of her wrist. With his usual composure, he sauntered back to the window, completely unconcerned about whether she might try to escape. He believed that Nadine's phone was far too important to her. If not, there was no way she'd back down.
Zara's expression changed drastically when she heard that Nadine wanted her to leave. She looked at Nadine with a wounded expression, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Have I done something wrong, Nad? Is that why you wantto leave? I was just trying to help you. I didn't mean anything by it! Please don't driveaway!" Nadine was dumbstruck. All she'd said was that Zara could focus on her other tasks. How did that translate to wanting her gone? "Hold on, Ms. Zimmerman. What on earth are you on about? I just didn't want to take up your time, that's all. How did this turn intodriving you away? You know I didn't mean that!" Nadine was completely stunned. Did she genuinely misunderstand her, or was she pretending not to understand? Tears had already started to roll down Zara's cheeks. She wiped her tears away with the back of her hand. Then, she looked at Nadine with teary eyes.
