Chapter 390
"Nad, if one day I'm no longer here, live well and take care of Grandma for me, okay? You're the kindest and most beautiful girl in the world, and you deserve happiness."
Slowly, Jack's face began to merge with Brad's. On the nearly identical face, the smile faded, replaced by a look of cold fury.
With a menacing glare, he spat, "Nadine, is this your lover? I'll kill you!" His elegant hand reached toward her slender neck.
Nadine jolted awake, clutching her throat. Her chest heaved, and she gasped for breath.
Winter mornings always came slowly.
That day was a typical workday. With no sun, the sky remained overcast, and the northern wind howled fiercely. Even indoors, the wind's roar was audible, as if it aimed to topple everything in its path.
Daniel had spent the entire night by Adam's side. His face was deeply strained from exhaustion. At nearly 60 years old, his stamina and energy were not what they used to be. Just one night of watching over Adam left him with a sore back and aching knees.
Fortunately, Adam had woken up. Struggling to sit up, he looked at the weary Daniel with concern. "You're not young anymore. Why are you still here? Go home and rest."
Daniel was still worried about Adam's health, so he refused to leave. "Dad, I couldn't rest knowing you were alone. I need to stay here."
Adam's normally gentle demeanor turned stern. "I know my body. I won't die anytime soon!"noveldrama
"Go home and get some rest. When you're better, check on the company's shares. Find out how many are in that brat's hands and figure out how to get them back for Nad."
Adam's frustration from the
previous night was intense. The mere thought of confronting Brad made his chest ache even more. He was furious that Brad had the audacity to bring his lover toca family celebration, causing such disgrace to the Hamilton family.
Adam dismissed the thought of Brad with disdain. He was better off without him. After all, he now had a great-grandson who was charming, and adorable and brought him joy. Since Brad was unreliable, he could focus on Nadine.
Daniel guessed Adam's intent. After a brief pause, he said, "Alright, I'll head back and bring Sean with me. Nadine must be exhausted after last night; I'll take care of the child for now."
Adam was particularly fond of his great-great-grandson and was reluctant to part with him. He firmly refused. You've had a long night too. Leave Sean with me; don't worry, I can handle it. I'm stil waiting to see that little brat face his comeuppance!"
Daniel's face twitched, and he silently hoped for Brad's misfortune. After leaving
the hospital, Daniel didn't rest but went straight to Clover Villa.
He learned from the maids that Gigi had been put in time-out by Brad for reflection, while Evelyn had gone out to play poker and hadn't returned all night.
Daniel frowned, reconsidered his plans, and went to Phoenix Villa instead.
Upon entering the main building, he found the maids whispering among themselves with ambiguous expressions.
