Chapter 684 The lawyer hurried after Nadine. "Mr. Hamilton's life is still hanging by a thread, Mrs. Hamilton. Aren't you going a little too far? It's been over five hours since the incident, and his surgery has lasted just as long. Don't you care about his condition at all?" If this had happened in the past, Nadine would've rushed to the hospital right away, even if all she could do was wait in the corridor and pray. She would've stayed by Brad's side. But this time, all she wanted was to finalize the divorce and sever all ties with him.

Wouldn't it be nice if you were the first person he saw when he regained consciousness?" Ignoring the lawyer, she walked straight into the open night, hailed a cab, and went to Clover Villa to pick Sean up. Leaning against the car window, she saw her reflection in the glass and registered the joy in her eyes. This time, she was finally free from Brad.
It was New Year's Eve, and while most families were celebrating at home, the Hamilton Estate was eerily silent. Evelyn and Jean were locked in the basement, under the watch of the Hamilton family's bodyguards.
The guards had locked the door from the outside, so the two women kept pounding on the door. "Get Daniel here! I'm his wife! Tell him to letout!" Evelyn's voice was hoarse from shouting, but the door remained firmly shut.
Jean, who was sitting on the floor, noticed Evelyn's voice growing hoarse and couldn't help but urge her, "Stop shouting already. Even if you scream your throat raw, no one's going to listen to us.

How could he possibly have tfor you? If I were you, I'd just sit quietly and conserve my strength." After hearing that, Evelyn lowered her sore palm and stopped banging on the door. She slumped down beside Jean, defeated. "I'm his wife. He loves me. Once he's dealt with everything, he'll definitely cfor me." Even though she said that, she wasn't sure it he would. After being married for so many years, no matter how big a mistake she made, Daniel had never hit her. But he slapped her for the first ttoday, and she still couldn't figure out why.
Jean sneered, "By the the's done, you'll freeze to death here. Besides, are you really sure he loves you? If he did, Why would he slap you in front of all those people?" Evelyn's cheek was still swollen from the slap, and the distinct marks of his fingers were still visible on her face.
Stung by Jean's words, she looked over and glared at her. "Did you forget why I got slapped? Who do you think did all this for? It was for you! Now that we're in this mess, you're making snide remarks to upsetinstead of helping? How much of that stuff have you taken to say such hurtful things?"
When she realized Evelyn was genuinely enraged, Jean decided to stop provoking her might be saying things you don't want to hear, but it's the truth, isn't it? You claim that Daniel loves you. Would you dare bet on that?"
