Chapter 780

Brad felt a sharp ache in his chest. "Nadine, you know damn well that's not what I meant! Jean is locked in my basement right now. I can take you to see her!"

It hit him then that no matter how much he tried to explain, Nadine wouldn't believe him. That realization left him feeling utterly powerless.

Jean had been waiting for a kidney transplant, but a suitable match had yet to be found. Until then, all she could do was rely on medication and dialysis to keep her condition under control.

Even at this moment, she lay weak in a specially prepared room in the Hamilton manor, isolated, without a phone or connection to the outside world.
