The more Nadine avoided him, the more it showed she had something to hide. After hearing Brad's indifferent tone, Nadine's tense nerves relaxed a little. "I came to check on your condition and ask you a few questions."
At that moment, she was a doctor, and a doctor's job was to care for every patient, no matter who they were.
He initially thought she had come specifically to see him, and he felt happy for a brief moment—enough to quell the simmering anger inside him. As soon as he realized that she saw him as just another patient, his mood instantly soured, and the anger he had suppressed flared up again.
"I don't need you!" he spat. He thought she was here to check on him, but it turned out she was just here to ask about his condition and advance her skills.
He thought, "Nadine Scott, you're really something else! After using me as a replacement, now you want to use me to climb the ladder? How despicable!"
Nadine's nerves, which had just started to relax, immediately tensed up again. Six years of marriage had taught her everything about Brad, and she could read his every little move and facial expression.
For instance, his currently raised eyebrows, the faint wrinkle between them, and the tension in his posture all screamed one thing: he was on the verge of losing his temper.
Realizing Brad might snap, she politely advised, "Mr. Hamilton, you're not in the best condition right now. You should avoid getting worked up. Since you're not willing to cooperate today, I'll take my leave. I'll come back when you're ready to work with me."
