NovelEnglishChapter 635 Nadine had meant it when she said she wanted a divorce. After signing the divorce agreement, she moved out of Phoenix Villa to cut all ties with Brad. And she had been doing exactly that; she kept her distance, cut off all emotional ties, and stayed as far from Brad as she could.
However, everything changed when Brad was injured while saving her. Her heart felt tumultuous when she found out that the nerves in his hand were damaged beyond repair and he might becdisabled. It felt as if an earthquake had unleashed a tsunami that could engulf her whole.
Had this happened before that day, she would have been able to brush the news of Brad's injury off without a second thought. But now, she found it impossible to ignore him, especially not when it was just the two of them alone in the hospital room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGazing at Brad's serene, handsface, Nadine wrestled with her thoughts. In the end, she decided to stay and care for the man who had been injured because of her.
To be grateful was to repay kindness. She couldn't just accept Brad's favor without repaying it, nor could she bear to see him becdisabled because of her. No matter what, as long as Brad was in the hospital, she would stay and take care of him.
Just a little while ago, when Evelyn had tried to pick a fight with her, Brad had stepped in to defuse the situation. While it might not mean much, it at least showed that he was on her side.
Once she had made up her mind, she didn't pull her hand away from Brad's grasp. Instead, she sat quietly beside his hospital bed, took out her phone, and started scrolling through the latest articles.
Brad slept soundly, without any dreams or jolting awake. Ever since Nadine moved out of Phoenix Villa, his sleep quality had taken a nosedive, and he often found it difficult to fall asleep. When he did manage to sleep, he'd wake up in the middle of the night and could never fall back to sleep.
Later on, he found one of Nadine's shirts and held it close, and surprisingly; he was able to fall asleep. Still, it wasn't the peaceful sleep he was used to. He would still wake up in the middle of the night. Clutching the shirt and breathing in Nadine's scent, he often couldn't tell if he was awake or dreaming.
This was the best sleep he'd had since Nadine had asked for the divorce.
When he opened his eyes in the middle of the night, he found Nadine leaning against the hospital bed. One of her hands was clasped in his, while the other was busy tapping and scrolling on her phone, O completely absorbed in whatever she was reading.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCurious, he followed her gaze and noticed she was browsing through skind of report. The screen was filled with black and white, full of technical jargon.
He liked this atmosphere. His heart felt warm as he gazed at Nadine's delicate features. He didn't want to ruin this moment. Despite knowing he should call the doctor now that he was awake, he remained still, silently watching her. The only source of light in the room was the bedside lamp-Nadine had angled her body to block most of the light, probably to keep the glare from disturbing his slumber.
The dim moonlight filtered through the window, casting a gentle glow on Brad's face and softening his sharp features. His brows relaxed as he found peace in this moment.
He didn't want to say or do anything. He just wanted to gaze at Nadine's beautiful face. The air was filled with the smelt of disinfectant, but amidst it, Brad could still catch the faint scent of flowers-Nadine's scent, fresh and soothing, like a balm in the still night.
