Chapter 30
In the ward, besides Brad, there was only Nadine. Jean was nowhere to be seen.
Nadine couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled when she noticed Jean’s absence. How could Brad leave her alone when she was sick?
Did his behavior in Tyler’s office just now make Jean angry? Did they have a fight, so Brad came here?
But regardless of the reason, it had nothing to do with her. The name “Brad” would not be part of her life
anymore.
Stepping into the ward, Nadine glanced faintly at Brad standing there, then quickly averted her gaze
toward Adam.
“Grandpa, how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?”
Sean, being pulled along by Nadine, couldn’t rush to Brad’s side immediately, so he called out, “Grandpa Adam!!
Brad saw Sean but didn’t show much emotion. He just nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Seeing him so indifferent, Sean subconsciously felt like he had done something wrong, and Brad was not happy with him. He lowered his head, feeling down.
Nadine looked at him and felt sorry for him. Just as she was about to say something to comfort Sean, Adam spoke up.
Adam, upon seeing his great–grandson, suddenly became more spirited.
He propped himself up against the head of the bed and waved to Sean. “Come here, Sean. Come to me.” When Sean came over, Adam reached out to touch his head and smiled gently. “Sean, don’t bother with your dad. He’s just a blind and stupid fool. Stay with your mommy more in the future, okay?”
Adam was extremely dissatisfied with Brad’s behavior. If it weren’t for the fact that he was currently sick and weak, he would have already beaten him to a pulp.
With Adam’s comfort, Sean brushed off his previous disappointment. “You’re right, Grandpa Adam. My mommy is the smartest and the best! She can do everything!”
When he looked at Nadine, his eyes were full of admiration.
Adam, upon hearing Sean praise Nadine, was curious and couldn’t help but ask, “She can do everything? Tell me. What can she do?”
After some thought, Sean replied while counting his fingers, “She can cook, do laundry, do housework, drive, climb trees to pick fruit, use a lawnmower to mow the lawn, trim flowers and trees, do paper cutting, give me injections, and she can even beat up bad guys! Grandpa Adam, she’s amazing, right?”
Some words, when spoken, might be unintentional, but they meant something to the listeners.
After a glance at Nadine, Adam asked Sean, “She beats up bad guys? How does she do that?”
Nadine, upon hearing Sean talk about this, tried to interrupt. “It’s nothing, Grandpa. Sean, this is just a small matter. Let’s not talk about it, okay?”
She tried to cover it up, but Adam wanted to know the truth. “Sean, tell me the story in a more engaging way, and I‘!! buy you chocolate.”
Sean loved chocolate the most. With such a big temptation, he naturally said everything, ignoring
Nadine’s warning eyes.
“It’s like this, Grandpa Adam. That day, Mommy picked me up from school. When we reached the doorstep of our home, a car suddenly rushed out and came at me. The car was driving so fast, but Mommy hugged me tightly and dodged it. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“After we dodged, the car came at us again. Mommy hugged me and dodged again. But it came at us again, so Mommy hugged me and hid behind a big tree. She then threw stones at the car. The car couldn’t reach us, so it drove away.
“Grandpa Adam, don’t you think Mommy is amazing? She scared the bad guys away!”
