Chapter 874
The more Nadine avoided him, the more it showed she had something to hide.
After hearing Brad's indifferent tone, Nadine's tense nerves relaxed a little. "I
came to check on your condition and ask you a few questions."
At that moment, she was a doctor, and a doctor's job was to care for every
patient, no matter who they were.
He initially thought she had come specifically to see him, and he felt happy for a
brief moment-enough to quell the simmering anger inside him. As soon as he
realized that she saw him as just another patient, his mood instantly soured, and
the anger he had suppressed flared up again.
"I don't need you!" he spat. He thought she was here to check on him, but it
turned out she was just here to ask about his condition and advance her skills.
He thought, "Nadine Scott, you're really something else! After using me as anoveldrama
replacement, now you want to use me to climb the ladder? How despicable!"
Nadine's nerves, which had just started to relax, immediately tensed up again. Six
years of marriage had taught her everything about Brad, and she could read his
every little move and facial expression.
For instance, his currently raised eyebrows, the faint wrinkle between them, and
the tension in his posture all screamed one thing: he was on the verge of losing
his temper.
Realizing Brad might snap, she politely advised, "Mr. Hamilton, you're not in the
best condition right now. You should avoid getting worked up. Since you're not
willing to cooperate today, I'll take my leave. I'll come back when you're ready to
work with me."
Nadine couldn't tolerate his bad temper and didn't want to deal with his attitude. If
he didn't want to cooperate, she'd just leave.
Nadine had just turned around when she heard a thunderous roar behind her.
"Did I permit you to leave? Nadine Scott, if you take one step out that door, I'll file
a complaint against you for being impatient with your patients!"
This woman was just too much! How dare she come and go as she pleased?
What did she take him for? If he didn't put her in her place today, she wouldn't
know who she was dealing with!
Sure enough, after his outburst, she
stopped in her tracks and stood still
for a moment. Nadine was aware
that her recent promotion had made
her the target of jealousy and
gossip. The staff at the hospital
whispered behind her back,
spreading all kinds of rumors.
She had kept a low profile and didn't
engage with those people, which
was why things had been peaceful
for her now. Having just been
assigned to Seraphina's team and
starting on the new research, the
last thing she needed was a
complaint against her.
Staff members who received complaints at Harborview Hospital were either
demoted or had their pay docked. More importantly, she didn't want to lose the
opportunity she had just gotten.
Nadine bit her lower lip, weighing her
options. After a moment, she turned
back around, her face donning a
professional, practiced smile. "Our
customers come first. Mr. Hamilton,
you are our top priority. We will do
everything we can to fulfill your
demands. So what can I do for you,
good sir?"
Brad was threatening her with a complaint. What else could she do but smile and
play along?
Life was just one big performance. Once she humored this jerk for a little while,
he'd quiet down on his own.
What do you think?
