Chapter 468

Nadine mistook Brad for Jack when she first laid eyes on him. But it didn't take long for her to realize that the two of them were worlds apart. Lost in memories of her love, she wept inconsolably in the solitude of the emergency exit.

Just then, the emergency exit door swung open, and a tall, slender figure walked in. The emergency exit was shrouded in darkness, save for the dim green glow of the exit sign, which flickered like a dying firefly. Then, a familiar earthy scent wafted through the air.

Nadine, who was bawling her eyes out, instantly recognized who it was. She couldn't make out his face in the darkness, but from the way he carried himself and that familiar scent clinging to him, she could tell without a doubt that it was Brad.
