Chapter 851 In public, Brad always appeared immaculate and elegant. His hair was perfectly combed, his shirt had not a single crease, and even his walk exuded grace.
In private, however, he shed much of his cold demeanor. Still, he maintained a stern expression and spoke little, making him seem unapproachable. Even when he was ill, he'd pretend to be fine by putting on a façade. Perhaps, he feared people seeing his vulnerable side.
At this moment, Brad was leaning weakly on the couch. His left hand clutched his stomach while his right held a glass of water. His head was drooped to the side, and his face was pale, looking frail and weak.
Seeing his condition, Nadine knew he had a stomachache. She quickly rummaged through her suitcase, took out her antacids, and handed two pills to Brad.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Here," Nadine said curtly. Her words for Brad were sparse these days, not wanting to speak to him more than necessary.
Ever since their divorce, she realized she no longer felt anxious or worried about his feelings. She also no longer cared about his mood and was living comfortably with Sean.
So, when Brad constantly kept trying to make his presence felt around Nadine, it only disgusted her. It was a bit too late for him to show his affection now. Brad released his grip from his stomach. He accepted the medicine Nadine handed him, popped the pills into his mouth, and swallowed them with a sip of water. After taking the medicine, he put down the glass but continued to lean weakly against the couch.
In a feeble voice, Brad asked Nadine, "Can I rest her for a while?" His stomach really was hurting, and he was truly feeling weak. Although there was a bit of acting involved, he wasn't outright lying.
Seeing the paleness on his face, Nadine agreed. "Fine, lie down for a bit. Leave when you feel better." With that, she turned back to her bed, lay down, and closed her eyes to sleep. She hoped that Brad would leave once he felt better.
However, Nadine was wrong. Just as she was settling in, she heard Brad's faint, pained groans filled with agony.
Nadine repeatedly told herself not to care about Brad. He already took the medicine and would get better soon. She didn't need to worry about him.
But despite that, Brad's low moans made it impossible for Nadine to fall asleep. Brad's groans becmore frequent. Nadine then abruptly threw off her blanket, got out of bed, and walked over to the couch. With suppressed anger, she asked, "Brad, what exactly do you want? Haven't you taken the medicine?" Brad had a history of stomach issues. Nadine had known about it from the day they got married. She thereafter spent years carefully tending to him so as to not agitate his stomach.
Brad had stomach ulcers. That meant he couldn't go hungry, eat cold food, overeat, or consgreasy foods. There were all sorts of dietary restrictions he had to abide by.
Nadine had even bought a medicinal recipe book. She followed the recipes exactly and prepared various medicinal dishes for him to help with his stomach issues.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer efforts eventually paid off. After five years of careful nurturing, Brad's stomach indeed improved significantly.
However, it was also around this tthat he started attending more social gatherings, which inevitably involved drinking. To prevent his stomach from hurting, Nadine would make nourishing soups for him frequently.
Logically speaking, Brad should've felt much better after taking them medicine she'd given him. So why was he still groaning? Still lying weakly on the couch, Brad looked at Nadine approaching with an
apologetic smile. "I'm sorry. I didn't have dinner. I was waiting for you el and Sean. got so hungry that I felt dizzy." Brad had been waiting outside the hotel for Nadine for over nine hours without eating or drinking. His stomach did indeed improve after Nadine's long-term care-but he still couldn't go hungry. The moment he got hungry, problems would arise.
After he said this, his face bore a faint smile. It looked so casual that e there wasn't a slightest hint of bldirected at Nadine.
