Chapter 107
In the Hamilton family, Adam was the one who treated Nadine the best.
He was a warm and loving grandfather to her. Facing him, Nadine could not bring herself to lie
But she was worried about his health, so she did not dare to tell him the truth
Her eyes met Adam’s cloudy eyes. Seeing the concern in his gaze, Nadine bit her lip.
After a long moment of silence, she finally spoke up. Grandpa, can you not get involved in this matter?”
She had asked Adam’s attending doctor about his condition. At this moment, Adam had already entered his twilight years. He would not be able to handle any shock.
His greatest wish was for her and Brad to love each other. If he found out about their divorce matter at such a critical time, she could not imagine how it would affect Adam’s health
Seeing how she would not talk more about it, Adam shook his head.
He let out a long sigh. “That brat told me everything. Jean got sick, so she came back here for treatment. She has no family in this country. Apart from that brat, she has no friends who could help her.
“The reason why that brat is helping her is because of their past relationship. After Jean recovers, he will send her off. So, don’t fight with that brat anymore.”
After hearing Adam’s words, Nadine became bewildered.
When did she get into a fight with Brad? They were clearly getting a divorce!
Adam did not give her a chance to speak even though she wanted to explain.
“Nad, I’ve been through a lot of things in life. I could tell that the brat only had sympathy for Jean. There is no love anymore.
“You should turn a blind eye and let him help her out. Right now, the more you try to stop him, the more he would side with Jean. You just have to focus on retaining control over the Hamilton family’s finances!
“Don’t worry, I’ve drafted a will. After I pass away, all of my shares and assets will be transferred to your and Sean.
“That brat would not get a single penny. If he actually has feelings for Jean again, just kick him out of the family. He would not be considered as a Hamiton anymore.
“You’re the daughter–in–law that I’ve chosen. You have to look at the greater picture. Even after Jean recovers, she would need another few years to recuperate.
“By then, she would be in her 30s already. How would she be able to compete with you, who’s

young and
“Nad, let’s put all of that aside. You can outlast Jean purely by waiting it out. She will surely die before you.
“Don’t make the mistake of divorcing that brat. If you get a divorce now, wouldn’t it mean you’re

supporting their relationship?
“We should be more selfish and think for ourselves. If I were you, I would do nothing and hold onto the
title of Mrs. Hamilton. I would let them suffer by themselves.
“As long as you’re still holding that title, Jean would not be able to see the light of day. Isn’t that good?”
These days, his time of being awake every day had been decreasing more and more. After saying so many things to her, he looked visibly exhausted.
Nadine could tell that he was tired. Her grandfather who loved her the most had become so weak and frail.
Her eyes welled up with tears.
“Grandpa, get some rest. I’ll help you to the bed. As for the divorce matter, I’ll listen to you.”
Seeing Adam’s unhealthy complexion, she could not bring herself to tell him anything at all.
Adam beamed and let her help him to the hospital bed.
“Nad, I love seeing you smile the most. It had been a long time since you last smiled.”
Suppressing her sadness, Nadine sniffed and forced a smile. “I’ll smile more, then.”
Only then did Adam nod in satisfaction. “That’s more like it. When you head back home, bring that fruit basket with you. I told the butler to buy it for you. It’s filled with fruits that you like.”
