But the young man didn't even get a chance to call for help.After he was taken away, Nash walked over to Nina. "In situations like that, I can handle it. Why did you have to step in?"Nash held Nina's hand, then wrapped his arm around her waist. After being apart for five years, Nash treasured Nina even more. And now that she was pregnant, he treated her with the utmost care, as if she were a fragile treasure."I couldn’t stand it. With his mouth running like that, didn't he deserve to be slapped?"Nash wasn’t some "nobody." Nash was the third prince of Salterra, the one Dominic had intended to groom into a future president.If it weren’t for Nina and their children, Nash might have stayed in Salterra to take on that role. How could a spoiled brat like that young man have the audacity to belittle him?Besides, Nash wasn’t just her husband, he was the father of their children. Of course, she couldn’t let that go."He did deserve it. But you shouldn’t have to get your hands dir
A mocking smile played on Nash's lips. "So, what now? You expect me to bow my head, apologize, and compensate you, and everything will be fine? Otherwise, if I don't play along, you'll hold me accountable, and I'll have to face the consequences myself?"Although Nash was smiling, the coldness in his eyes was unmistakable.These people were seasoned in the political arena, having dealt with all kinds of individuals before. They weren't easily intimidated by Nash’s demeanor. But they were determined to make him pay for his actions."Since you understand, then it's best you comply," one of them said.But there was no way Nash would let himself be outmatched, especially by someone trying to use their position to strong-arm him.Since they had come to him with this approach, Nash decided to take action. He made a single phone call, and soon after, the disciplinary committee arrived to investigate the young man and his family. The investigation revealed that Orin had been trying to ri
Zion said, "Nina is married now and has her own family. If she comes with us, what about Orion? Nash wouldn’t let her go alone."Julia responded, "What’s there to worry about? They can all come with us."Julia's idea was good, but it wasn't up to them to decide."It still depends on whether Nash agrees or not," Zion added.Julia, unhappy with Zion's comment, replied, "Just because they’re married and have their own family doesn’t mean Nina is cut off from us. It certainly doesn’t mean she’s Nash’s possession."Marriage might create a new family, but Nina was still free to make her own choices, not bound to ask Nash for permission.Zion continued, "Now’s not the time to discuss this. What matters is what Nina wants."Nina responded, "If I go with you, I’ll just be a burden. Now that I’m pregnant, my appetite is all over the place. It’s better if you both stay here with me for a while. Then I’ll see you off when it’s time."Julia insisted, "It’s not about being a burden, and it’s
"I'll go make dinner and cook your favorite dishes," Julia said, pulling Zion into the kitchen. Once inside, she shared her plan, "I still think Nina should come stay with us. When Nash gets back, make sure you back me up."Zion sighed, ready to protest, but the look Julia gave him silenced him. With a reluctant nod, he agreed.It wasn't long before the meal was ready, filled with all of Nina's favorite foods. As they sat down, Julia served Nina, noticing the slight frown on her face. "I know the first trimester can be rough, but you need to eat a little of everything. Try to eat whatever you can, even if it makes you feel nauseous.""But the nausea has been really intense," Nina replied. This wasn't her first pregnancy, but this time the morning sickness was hitting her hard, to the point where just looking at food made her stomach churn.Julia placed a piece of fish in Nina's bowl. "That’s exactly why you should eat more. The more you eat, the less awful it will feel when you d
Nash gently placed her back on the sofa and smiled, "Not bad at all. I quite enjoyed that. I’m looking forward to our next session." With that, he quickly escaped to the bathroom, and soon the sound of running water filled the room. Nina knew exactly what was going on and couldn’t help but smile to herself.The next morning, Julia woke up early, waiting for Nash. As soon as she saw him coming downstairs, she approached him. "Nash, there's something I want to discuss with you."Nash nodded and joined her on the sofa. "Sure, what’s on your mind?""I’d like Nina to come stay with us for a while. I mentioned it to her yesterday, but she’s a bit hesitant. I think if you agree, she’ll be more likely to go along with it."Julia’s request put Nash in a difficult position. Work was hectic, and agreeing would mean being separated from Nina. The thought of being apart from her, even for a short time, was hard for him to accept. After all, they had missed out on so much time together, and
After dinner, the three of them sat around the coffee table, reminiscing about old times. The atmosphere was warm and nostalgic. Nina was reluctant to leave and go to bed, and it wasn’t until Julia pretended to be upset that she finally agreed to head to her room.As she was getting ready for bed, Nina went to the bathroom and suddenly felt that something was wrong. When she looked down, she saw blood."Mom! Mom, come quickly!" Nina called out in a panic, completely unsure of what to do and instinctively reaching out for Julia.Julia rushed over, alarmed at the sight of a few drops of blood on the floor. She quickly helped Nina get dressed and guided her back to bed before calling for Zion at the door.Seeing blood during pregnancy could be serious, and neither Julia nor Zion dared to delay. They immediately took Nina to the hospital.After a thorough examination, the doctor diagnosed it as a threatened miscarriage and recommended that Nina stay in the hospital to rest and take
Nash hesitated, feeling uneasy. He wasn't sure what the back room of the nurse's station was used for, but the fact that they were alone, combined with Lisa's earlier behavior, made him wary."You should bring it out. If it's not convenient, I can come back later," he said, preparing to leave.Lisa, called out, "Mr. York, do you really think I'd try something? Relax, there are cameras everywhere. What could I possibly do?"Reluctantly, Nash stepped inside but only stood at the doorway.Lisa immediately moved closer to him. She wasn't in her nurse's uniform anymore, but instead wore a strappy short dress that showed off her figure. Nash kept his gaze straight ahead, refusing to look at her. "Nurse Lisa, where's the medication?" he asked.Lisa pouted, "Mr. York, I strained my back while getting your wife's medicine. Could you rub it for me?" She grabbed his hand, trying to place it on her back.Nash quickly pulled his hand away, forcefully pushing her off. His expression turned
Nash didn’t wait for the nurse to speak. He immediately called the hospital director and made his stance clear that Lisa had to be fired. Lisa panicked, clutching Nash’s legs and begging, "Mr. York, I realize my mistake. Please, give me another chance. My parents went through so much to get me this job. I can't let them down.""If you were truly concerned about your parents’ efforts, you wouldn’t have slandered me," Nina stated firmly. "Director, if she's not fired, I’ll escalate this matter, and if the hospital gets dragged into it, don’t say I didn’t warn you."Understanding Nash’s influence, the director immediately had Lisa removed from the hospital. Her cries and protests echoed through the entire floor as she was dragged out. The director apologized profusely to the couple and reassigned the head nurse to take over Lisa's duties.Nash was satisfied and, on his way out, mentioned that he would fund the renovation of the inpatient department. The director was overjoyed and tha
