Tyler had his gaze fixated on Nadine's face. He thought she looked absolutely stunning today. Unsure of whether
he was hallucinating, he felt like she'd completely transformed as if she'd been rejuvenated.
Noting his enthusiastic greeting, Nadine stopped in her tracks and waved at him with a smile. "You look good
today too, Tyler. Lots of women are going to swoon over you."
Their department had always had more women than men. Among the 40 people in their department, only 12 of
them were men, and four of them were already married.
Under such circumstances, many women in the cardiology department coveted Tyler. After all, he looked
attractive and had becthe department head at such a young age. Several nurses openly pursued him, even
claiming that he was theirs and they'd win him over someday.
So, Nadine knew to keep her distance from him. She might have been divorced, but she didn't want to jeopardize

But her praises did nothing to cheer Tyler up. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Stop teasing me! How is
your preparation going for the nurse qualification exam? Are you confident?"
Having worked at Harborview Hospital for more than a month, Nadine had to pass a rigorous exam to beca
certified employee.
She'd been out of school for six years, yet she had to sit for an exam so soon after she began working. Her
situation truly was worrying.
She flashed a smile at him and pumped her fist in the air. "Don't worry, Tyler. I'll work hard! I'm going to hit the
books now. Bye!"
Nadine could sense Tyler's feelings for her. But she couldn't respond, nor could she promise him anything. She
could only ignore him. Sometimes, feigning ignorance was an act of kindness.
Tyler wanted to talk with her a bit more. But unwilling to becthe target of gossip, she left promptly. He could
only watch her disappear out of his sight from his office, shaking his head.
Had he really made a mistake six years ago?
Nadine had set a small goal for herself. If she couldn't forget Brad, she'd treat him as a friend instead of as her
husband. In this case, she wouldn't have any hopes for him anymore.
She planned to find a tto explain to Sean that Brad wasn't his biological father and that he wasn't obliged to
raise him. So, he could no longer call Brad "Dad". But this was a daunting task for Nadine. She had no idea how
to break it to Sean.
Sighing, she headed to Adam's ward. His condition had improved after treatment. As long as he wasn't severely

Once Nadine saw that Adam was in good shape, she was relieved.
Adam was thrilled to see her. He couldn't help but blurt out, "Nadine, you're here! How's your job here going? Did
anyone bully you? Did anyone mistreat you?
"Tellif anyone dares to do that to you. I'll teach them a lesson."
Adam hadn't forgotten the twhen the hospital fired Nadine, and he berated the hospital director back then.
Whenever he thought about it, he'd summon the director over and reprimand him again.
In the end, the director was too afraid to even show up for work.
Nadine was also aware of this. She smirked and strode over to him, massaging his temples. "Grandpa, no one
has the guts to mistreat me. Even if they did, you've already scared them away. There's nothing to worry about."
