Chapter 65
Not only did Brad fail to cherish Nadine, but he also cheated on her blatantly with Jean. While he was cheating with Jean he was also stringing Nadine along preventing her from divorcing him.
It was unbelievable that he wanted to have two wives at the same time. How could Brad be so shameless?
Brad had never liked Tyler. But now, he disliked Tyler even more. He couldn’t be bothered to comfort
Jean
Instead, he stormed over to Tyler and pointed a finger at him as he declared, “Believe it or not, I can make your life in Janctera City a living hell
Tyler raised an eyebrow, completely unfazed. Then go ahead and make my life a living hell! It doesn’t matter where I go, as long as Nadine leaves with me!”
Enraged by Tyler’s words, Brad clenched his fist and was ready to strike him.
Spotting the brewing conflict, Nadine rushed between the two men to separate them with urgency. “Dr. Sullivan! We’re still in the middle of the rounds with multiple people watching! Can you please calm down?
“Brad, this isn’t your place to act like this! You don’t get to call the shots here! Please drop that domineering act of yours!”
With so many colleagues around, Nadine was worried that Tyler would face disciplinary action if the director found out
She just wanted to diffuse the situation quickly before it escalated. Regardless of Tyler’s willingness, she yanked on his white coat and pulled him out of the patient’s room.
“Let’s go! Move on to the next patient.”
With Nadine’s intervention, Tyler reluctantly let her lead him out of the room by the arm.
As they stepped out of the patient’s room, Tyler muttered, “If it weren’t for you, I would’ve punched that shameless punk in the face.”
Nadine couldn’t help but roll her eyes at his childishness. “Seriously? A grown man and a doctor like you shouldn’t be acting like a child. If someone catches you acting like that and posts it online, you’ll face serious backlash.”
She spoke from experience, as she had been the target of relentless online abuse from Brad’s rabid fans.
Somehow, these trolls had found her Instagram account, and a handful would flood her comments
section with vile comments every day. Their insults were vile and hateful.
She knew the devastating power of cyberbullying. Therefore, she dragged Tyler out of the room because
she didn’t want him to experience the same pain she had endured.
Noticing the bitterness on Nadine’s face, Tyler realized she was a victim of online abuse. An agonizing wave of compassion engulfed him.

Swallowing his compassion, he clenched his fists and replied, “I understand. I won’t act like that again.
Living up to his promise, Tyler conducted his rounds with seriousness and professionalism that ensured each patient received the best possible care. He even passed by Jean’s room again without bothering her This put Nadine at ease.
Midway through the rounds, Nadine went to the restroom. As soon as she closed the stall door, she heard voices from the next stall gossiping about her.
“What’s so great about Nadine? She’s just using her looks to seduce Dr. Sullivan! If you ask me, she’s nothing but a shameless vixen!”
“Exactly! What’s so special about her? We don’t know, but Dr. Sullivan sure does! Just look at the way she struts around, swaying her hips with her chest practically bouncing out. What man wouldn’t like that?”
“The grass is always greener on the other side. Don’t you get it? Look at Brad, the richest man in Janctera City. He has a wife, but he still goes after other women. That’s just how men are.”
“Hey, hey, hey! We’re talking about Nadine. Why are you bringing up Brad? What does he have to do with

“Besides, what’s the big deal if a man cheats these days? As long as he apologizes with crocodile tears and pitiful pleas, all the women in Janctera City will forgive him. Plus, his wife will have no choice but to forgive him as well for the sake of money”
“Speaking of his wife reminds me of something. Isn’t her name Nadine?”
