It was just a document. Gigi didn't think much of it. Without giving it much thought, she agreed. "Alright. I'll get the document and hand it over to Brad when I visit him at the hospital later."
Evelyn and Jean exchanged relieved smiles when she agreed. They chatted for a bit before sending her on her way.
After Gigi left, Jean could hardly contain her excitement. Her heart raced as if it was about to leap out of her throat. She clutched her chest to calm herself down. Jean looked at Evelyn expectantly. "Mom, if this works out, I'll be sure to take good care of you once we're out of here."
Evelyn's eyes sparkled as well. "Don't worry, Jean. What's yours will always find its way back to you. No matter how long you've been apart, you'll eventually reunite. And if it's not meant for you, you'll never be able to hold on to it."
…
It was the third day of the new year, and it was a nationwide holiday.
The masses had already feasted on three days of juicy gossip but still craved more. Many kept replaying the video of Jean stripping at Clover Villa, watching it over and over again. Even though the video was censored and Jean's body wasn't fully visible, her face certainly was.
Those who had once supported Jean were now as quiet as a mouse. Meanwhile, those who supported Nadine flooded the comments section, ensuring that the video remained at the top of the trending list.
@EarthyPotato: "Speaking of which, do you guys think Brad still has feelings for Jean after seeing her like that? Can you continue to love someone who's turned out like this? @BradHamilton"
Brad leaned against the headboard of the hospital bed while Cameron sat beside him, scrolling through the online comments and reading them aloud. Each comment he read made Brad's expression darken a little more. Cameron decided to stop reading after noticing how furious he looked.
Brad finally asked, "Where is Jean right now?"
