After rushing out of Brad's hospital room, Nadine returned to the doctor's office. Even as she sat at her desk, her heart was still racing.
She and Brad had been married for six years, and she'd lost count of the number of times they'd been intimate. The moment her fingertips brushed against his smooth chest and felt his defined muscles earlier, it instantly brought back memories of their tin bed together.
Back then, she'd been bold and shameless. Her long, graceful legs would wrap around his waist, her hands eagerly exploring his abs, running over each defined ridge.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe would touch him and compliment him, saying how great his body was and how good he was in bed. Before she could praise him much, he'd lose control and silence her with his overwhelming passion.
Just moments ago, when her fingers touched Brad's abs again, her mind couldn't help but drift to the passionate moments they had shared. It was often said that men loved through desire, and women desired through love.
When Brad was with her in bed, surely he must have lost control at least a little, right? While she was lost in those thoughts, Seraphina walked in. "Cwith me, Nadine. I need to go over Mr. Hamilton Senior's condition with you." Seraphina was extremely professional and explained Adam's condition in a clear and simple way that was easy to understand. Nadine caught on almost immediately.
With a heart transplant, Adam could live for another three years or so. However, Adam had decided he didn't want to undergo the transplant. He believed the heart should go to someone with more to gain, someone who wouldn't be a burden on society.
Three years didn't mean much to him. Without the transplant, he could survive that long on medication alone. After hearing Seraphina's explanation, Nadine fell silent. While she was racking her brain, trying to figure out how to convince Adam to undergo the surgery, a nurse knocked on the door of the doctor's office.
"Ms. Scott, Mr. Hamilton from the VIP room says he's not feeling well and has asked for you to check on him." Nadine rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth. What on earth was that jerk up to now? After excusing herself from Seraphina, she suppressed her anger and made her way to Brad's room.
The moment she opened the door, she saw Brad sitting on the bed, a stack of documents piled on the small table over his lap. He was awkwardly holding a pen in his left hand, scrawling something on the papers.
As soon as he heard the door open, Brad looked up and smiled at Nadine. "You're here! Come, take a look at my writing! What do you think?" He wore a faint smile on his face, free of malice, as if he O genuinely wanted her to admire his work.

Nadine walked over to his left side, glanced at the words he had written with his left hand, and lied through her teeth. "It looks great." In truth, his handwriting was a mess-crooked and shaky, nowhere near as good as what he could do with his right hand. She could only recognize the n"Brad Hamilton".
Brad set the pen down and looked up at her. "Why'd you run away earlier?" Truth be told, when Nadine ran out of his hospital room earlier, he noticed the flush of red creeping up her ears and neck. That blush was a surefire sign she was embarrassed.
The fact that she blushed when she touched his abs meant she wasn't entirely indifferent to him. That thought alone was enough to make him call her back, wanting to confirm it for himself.
As soon as he said that, Nadine was reminded of the moment she om touched his abs, and her ears turned aldeep shade of red. The heat that had just faded surged, spreading from her ears to the back of her neck.
Brad paid close attention to her ears when he asked that question. As n. Ash soon as he noticed them turning re his face broke into a grin. He then red, grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest. "Didn't you say you liked my abs? Go ahead, feel them as much as you like!"
