Nadine smiled back at him. Unfortunately, Brad missed it as he was being rushed into the operating room. The once chaotic scene suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Nadine regained her composure when the biting winter wind blew by. She took a moment to reflect on everything that had just happened and realized Brad was injured. She hadn't even noticed because she didn't care about him at all.
While she stood there, lost in her thoughts, her phone rang. It was Avery, and her voice was full of concern. "Babe, are you okay? Has everything been resolved now? Did Jennifer and her family all get taken in? I have to admit, I'm seeing Brad in a new light. He really stepped up this time! "When David swung that knife at you, Brad put everything on the line. I'm telling you, if someone's willing to risk their life to save you, that shows how much you mean to him. You really ought to reconsider the divorce." Someone had captured the moment David held a knife to Nadine's neck on video and posted it online. Because Brad appeared in the clip, it spread like wildfire, racking up billions of views.
After the video went viral, Avery, being chronically online, naturally stumbled upon it. She even tracked down a follow-up video that someone had captured with a drone and shared it online. Brad's courageous act of saving Nadine was etched in everyone's minds.
Avery was scared senseless when she saw David's knife pressed against Nadine's neck, so she immediately called to check if her friend was okay. She only relaxed when Nadine's voice cthrough on the line.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNadine had finally calmed down, though a lingering sense of fear remained. She briefly explained the situation to Avery. "Don't worry, I've only got a small cut on my neck. It's already healed, so there's really nothing to worry about." That minor injury was the least of her worries. Brad, on the other hand, was a different story. Since she hadn't witnessed how he got hurt, she felt uneasy. She had no idea how badly he was injured or if it was serious.
While she was still talking on the phone, a medic approached her cautiously and asked, "Ma'am, do you feel unwell at all? Since you're also one of the victims, we need to take you in for a thorough check-up. Can you cwith me?" Nadine shook her head, knowing she was fine. "I'm actually a healthcare worker myself, so I'm well aware of my condition. It's just a minor scrape nothing to worry about There's really no need for a full examination, so let's save those resources for someone who really needs them."
Her mind was a jumbled mess, and all she could think about was visiting Brad to see how badly he was hurt. Everything else seemed unimportant at that moment.
Noticing how adamant she was, the medic didn't push further. "Alright, ma'am. If you're sure you're fine) We won't insist. However, I do recommend that you visit our psych department. I can wait for you to finish your call before taking you there."
The medic insisted, and although Nadine wasn't well-versed in e psychology, she thought it through and decided to go along with it. She turned back to her phone and told Avery, "Babe, I need to go fora check-up now. I'll talk to you later." Avery, ever understanding, responded, "Alright, go ahead. If you need anything, just call me. I'm always here for you! And girl, Brad was such a hero today!"
