Please Give Me Another Chance, Mrs. Hamilton novel Chapter 797

Jean began to reminisce, her gaze filled with a bittersweet longing for those bygone days. If she could turn back time, she would have refused to accept that money.

Back then, Brad's heart condition often caused him to collapse, and there were several instances when he nearly met his end. Jean wanted both the Hamilton family's wealth and a healthy husband who could bring her happiness. How could someone as frail as Brad ever make her happy?

Consequently, after witnessing Brad narrowly escape death time and again, she decided to accept Adam's offer. She took the large sum of money and left Janctera City to start a new life abroad. Whether Brad lived or died was of no concern to her.

Six years ago, the night she messaged Brad was a test—a test to see how deep his feelings ran. More than anything, she loved the thrill of being pursued. At the time, she had already checked into Palace Hotel, ready to catch an early flight the next morning.

As the rain poured down harder, Jean, wanting to test how much Brad loved her, made a bet with her adoptive mother. She wagered on whether Brad would come and whether he truly loved her.

The downpour caused serious flooding in the city, making it nearly impossible to walk, let alone drive. If Brad could brave such harsh weather, it would prove his love for her.

Thus, she used her phone to send a message to Brad and then hid with her adoptive mother on the upper floors of Palace Hotel, watching through the glass as Brad lost his mind over her.

Honestly, she hadn't expected him to show up because of the heavy rain and his poor health. But when he showed up at Palace Hotel with his pants soaked through, she was stunned.

Once the commotion from the room next door died down, Evelyn used her status as the lady of the Hamilton family to unlock the door to the room next door. The pristine white sheets bore a vivid stain of a virgin's blood. Overjoyed, Jean rushed forward, snipping the piece of fabric for herself.

Six years ago, Jean hadn't thought much of it. It was Evelyn who reminded her about what had to be done. Now, Jean finally understood how important her mother's decision had been back then.

"Brad, I was under the watchful eye of your grandfather's bodyguard back then and was unable to meet you. I snuck out to see you, but they found me and took me away, forcing me onto a plane out of Janctera City.

"I wanted to be with you, but I couldn't go against your grandfather. So, I left with that bloodstained sheet and my memories of you." In the end, she was in tears, her eyes full and her nose bright red.
