Chapter 230
"Don't go! I'm sorry. I was wrong. Please come back, please," Nadine murmured in her sleep, her face contorted with pain.
Brad withdrew his hand, standing still as he watched the anguish on her face.
Jack? This was the second time he'd heard that name. The first time, Nadine had just uttered it. This time, she spoke more, pleading for him to come back.
What was the connection between Nadine and Jack?
Brad stood by the bedside, looking down at Nadine in her agony. Even as she curled up into herself, he remained unmoved. His eyes were veiled in deep, icy coldness.
After Nadine had endured this torment, Brad cast a cold, disdainful glance her way and left the bedroom. He had thought she would need him at a time like this. Now, he realized how foolish he had been.
Nadine kept saying she loved him, but in her dreams, she called out another man's name. How absurd! Brad suddenly realized he knew nothing about Nadine at all.
As he left Phoenix Villa, the cold rain began to pour. He didn't even bother to put on his coat. Starting the car, he drove away from the villa without a hint of regret.
Nadine slept deeply as if she had entered a pitch-black tunnel with no light in sight.
As she moved forward in search of brightness, she kept hearing Jack call her name. She tried to run toward the sound, but she grasped at nothing.
When she was finally exhausted, she saw Jack standing there, covered in blood, staring at her intently. The look in his eyes was terrifying.
Unable to bear the horrific scene, Nadine screamed and opened her eyes. It was only then that she realized it had been a dream.
After taking a deep breath, she sank back into the bed and shut her eyes wearily. When she confirmed that it wasjust a bad dream, her consciousness slowly returned.

Last night, when she faced Brad, she seemed to have gone mad. She hit and shouted at him, unleashing all her anger at him.
It seemed Brad hadn't taken it personally but had called the family doctor to give
her a shot. She had no memory of what happened afterward.
Thinking about her "fierceness" during the argument with Brad, she suddenly lacked the courage to get out of bed.
While she was tangled up in thoughts about the previous day, Sean's voice came from outside the door. "Mommy, are you awake?"
Startled by Sean's voice, Nadine jumped out of bed and quickly dressed. "I'm awake, baby. Just a minute. I'll open the door."
Sean was very polite. It wasn't clear who had taught him this, but every time he was about to enter Nadine and Brad's bedroom, he would always stand outside the door and ask first.
After Nadine replied, Sean's adorable voice came through the door again. "Okay. I'll wait for you."
Nadine hurriedly got dressed and opened the door for Sean. "Baby, I haven't washed up yet. Sit here and wait for me, okay?"
When she had packed up and
moved out, she hadn't taken her toiletries. She hadn't anticipated staying here last night. Entering the bathroom, she began to sort herself out.
Soon, she emerged and saw Sean sitting obediently on the couch. She couldn't
help but kiss his soft little face. "You're such a good boy."
Sean blinked up at her, looking pleased. "Where's Daddy? Didn't you sleep together last night?"noveldrama
