Chapter 276
Brad's mind was filled with the image of Nadine treating his wounds.
Upon seeing him bleeding, she didn't say a word. She immediately put down Sean, rushed to the room, and returned with a first aid kit.
At that moment, she looked like the first ray of sunshine breaking through the darkness, shining brightly on his heart.
She dispelled the shadows in his mind and illuminated his eyes.
Pursing her lips, Nadine was focused. She swiftly wrapped the bandages with precision, not uttering a single unnecessary word.
In comparison, Evelyn's concern felt like a distant, empty promise.
Nadine didn't utter any sentimental words. She simply solemnly took care of his wounds. On the other hand, Evelyn often claimed to cherish him but had ignored his injury. She was only concerned about Gigi.
He wondered why he had never noticed this before.
He had once asked Alex and Sammy about why Evelyn disliked Nadine so much.
Alex, who was single, answered, "What's the point of asking? Same sex repels; opposite sex attracts. As long as your dad doesn't dislike Nadine, that's all that matters."
Sammy had pondered briefly and said, "Rather than saying your mother dislikes Nadine, it might be that your mother doesn't love you. A truly loving mother wouldn't make her son choose between her and his wife, especially when Nadine is so understanding and obedient. If she still finds fault with her, it only means one thing. Your mother doesn't love you."
Back then, he had thought Sammy was speaking nonsense.
But now, reflecting on it, he found some truth in his words.
As Brad stood smoking while gazing at the dark night sky, Evelyn approached him from behind. "Brad, can't you reconsider and not make Gigi apologize to Nadine?"
Brad didn't respond.
He took a deep drag of his cigarette and stared into the distance in silence.
This wasn't the outcome he wanted.
Sensing his silence, Evelyn
continued with a hint of frustration, "Brad, you know Gigi's temper. She would rather go to jail than apologize to Nadine. We're family. Blood ties bind us. Can't you show some leniency for the sake of family bonds?"
Seeing Brad remain silent, Evelyn grew anxious.
Biting the bullet, she pressed on, worry.

Brad looked up at the twinkling stars and let out a bitter laugh.
"I didn't know human life was so

Evelyn's face turned pale. "Brad, let's talk this over. Can't we come to an
agreement? Brad, Gigi is your sister..."
Brad ignored her pleas and strode off determinedly.
Anxious, Evelyn paced around. "What are we going to do now?"
When Brad returned to Phoenix Villa, Nadine had already served dinner.
Well taught, Sean was already eating on his own at just five years old.
He passed Nadine a piece of fried chicken, smiled sweetly, and obediently said, "Mommy's cooking is the best!"
The scene was heartwarming.
But Brad's arrival shattered the warm atmosphere.
