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

    "Not a chance," Lisa snapped, her agitation causing the pliers to nick Nina's neck. Blood trickled down, and the onlookers gasped in horror."Well, then I can’t agree to your demands. Do whatever you want," Nash said, pulling out his phone, pretending to call the police, though his eyes never left Lisa. He was ready to act the moment she made a move.Lisa hesitated, realizing too late that she should have acted when she first entered the room. The arrival of the hospital director only added to her unease."Lisa, what are you doing? Let her go!" the director pleaded, trying to approach her. But Lisa pulled Nina closer and backed toward the window.Nina, sensing the danger, spoke softly, "You can still stop this. Once the police get here, it will be too late to turn back.""Think about your parents," the director added, hoping to appeal to her sense of reason.Nash quietly inched closer, but Lisa noticed and panicked. "If you come any closer, I’ll do it!" she screamed, tightening h

    Nina did not want to argue, so she remained silent. Pharaoh was about to continue persuading her when Nash returned from his phone call, noticing the tension between them.He glanced at Nina, then at Pharaoh. "Father, what were you two talking about? Did something happen?"Pharaoh explained his concerns. "I suggested that she come back with me. That way, you can focus on your work without worrying."Nash smiled slightly, understanding his father-in-law's good intentions. "Is that all? There's no need to go to such lengths. I’ve already handed over the company matters to Quincy."Nina, feeling a bit guilty, asked, "Won’t that be too much for him? He hasn’t taken a day off in years."Nash chuckled, "He’s going on a business trip anyway. He’ll be with his new assistant, so the workload won’t be too heavy. It’ll give him a chance to relax."Nash wasn’t lying about the workload, but it was still no easy task. At that moment, Quincy was sitting at the airport with furrowed brows. His

    “Ava.”A deep voice cut through the air, and Karina turned to see a man in a black suit, wearing a hat and a mask, striding toward them. But the man’s white eyelashes and distinctive eyes were all Karina needed to recognize him. He was her albino patient, Xavier Jasper!Xavier also didn’t expect to run into both Wilfred and Karina here. “It’s you two,” he exclaimed in surprise.Wilfred’s gaze sharpened as he calmly addressed Xavier. “Keep your sister in line. Apologize.”Before Xavier could respond, Ava stepped forward and, to everyone’s surprise, said, “I’m sorry. I was too impulsive. Please forgive me.” Karina was taken aback by how quickly Ava apologized. Even Xavier, who knew his sister’s arrogant tendencies well, looked stunned.Karina nodded, her tone steady but firm. “I forgive you, but that doesn’t mean everyone else will. You should work on your attitude. Stop acting so entitled everywhere you go.” With that, Karina turned on her heel and walked away. Although Xavie

    ”Those were her meticulously compiled notes, the result of hours of hard work—and now they were ruined just like that?” Karina thought.“I’ve never wronged you. Why would you do something like this?” she demanded, her voice trembling with indignation. Something about the situation felt off, and Karina’s sharp intuition told her this wasn’t a simple misunderstanding.Under Karina’s intense gaze, the nurse finally broke down, revealing Ava’s role in orchestrating the whole thing. Karina’s anger turned into a mix of rage and incredulous amusement. “Really? Rich people—did they all enjoy throwing money around like this?”All this trouble, just to ruin her hard-earned work over a seat?Her carefully compiled notes were gone, and there wasn’t a second copy. Arguing wouldn’t bring them back, but Ava wasn’t going to let this slide without giving someone a piece of her mind.Finding Ava wasn’t difficult. In fact, Ava didn’t even try to avoid her. She seemed to be waiting, eager to see

    Just as Ava was about to cause a scene, the sound of steady footsteps filled the room. Wilfred strode in, his white coat enhancing his composed, almost ethereal aura. Ava shot Karina a glare, silently committing her to memory, then begrudgingly found another seat. Wilfred’s gaze swept across the room, pausing ever so briefly on Karina before moving on. She wasn’t sure if it was real or just her imagination. “Today, we’ll discuss cellular structures. I’ll start with an example from my doctoral thesis,” Wilfred announced, adjusting the projector. To Karina’s surprise, he was an exceptional lecturer—clear, engaging, and far more comprehensible than many university professors. She listened intently, taking meticulous notes. Yvette peeked over at Karina’s notebook, wide-eyed at the densely packed writing. “Karina, when you eventually get promoted, land a big raise, or go for your doctorate, I promise I won’t be jealous. Truly.”Karina chuckled. “If you need these notes, I can len

    Karina glanced at the time and quickly gestured for Yvette to sit down as well. However, barely had they taken their seats when a haughty woman marched up to Karina, her sharp gaze fixed on the chair she was sitting on. “You, get up. I want that seat!” Karina frowned, studying the unfamiliar woman. She didn’t recognize her from the hospital, but the designer jewelry around her neck and the branded bag on her arm screamed wealth. She seemed like the kind of entitled socialite who rarely had to fight for anything, let alone a seat.Unsure if the woman was trying to pick a fight or genuinely wanted the chair, Karina pointed to the open seats nearby. “There are plenty of seats over there. Take one of those.”Then, she lowered her head, dismissing the woman entirely.The woman’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Excuse me? I said I want your seat. Get up. Now!” Not content with words alone, she reached out to pull Karina up by force. Karina, now genuinely angry, shook her off. “I was h

    Karina looked slightly surprised. She distinctly remembered that Wilfred wasn’t a drinker. “I thought you avoided alcohol?” Wilfred, ever the epitome of control and composure, preferred to steer clear of anything that dulled his sharpness. Back when they worked at the Birkham Central Hospital, she had seen him reject bottles of expensive wine from people trying to curry favor with him. He sipped his tea slowly before replying, “You’ve started at a new hospital. As your former mentor, I haven’t given you a proper congratulatory gift yet.” “This is… for me?” Karina asked, her voice tinged with disbelief. Wilfred’s gaze was steady as he replied, “Don’t like it? If not, I can send it back and we can find something else later.” He raised his hand to call the server over. “Wait! No need. I like it a lot,” Karina interjected hastily, stopping him in his tracks. The idea of going gift shopping with him later felt uncomfortably like a date. And knowing Wilfred’s personality, w

    Wilfred’s gaze swept over her without a word, and Karina climbed into the car on her own. When choosing her seat, she instinctively moved toward the back, but before she could get in, Wilfred spoke, “Sit in the front. It’s more convenient.” Karina hesitated briefly. Not wanting to appear overly particular, she complied and took the passenger seat. Although there was a saying that the front seat was reserved for a girlfriend, Wilfred didn’t strike her as someone who cared about such details. She decided to pretend she didn’t know. After buckling her seatbelt, a phone suddenly appeared in front of her. She looked up, her face full of confusion and surprise. Wilfred glanced sideways at her, one hand on the steering wheel, the car still stationary. “I haven’t decided on a restaurant yet. I’ll be driving soon. You pick something.” Karina took the phone. As Wilfred drove, she scrolled through the options, narrowing it down to three restaurants. But her mild indecisivenes

    Karina forced a smile. “Really, it’s fine. You all go ahead.”Yvette pouted, her disappointment clear as she relented. “Alright then.”Once the others had left, Karina tried to refocus on work. She pulled out her research materials, determined to get something done. Yet, no matter how hard she tried, her thoughts kept wandering. The cheerful chatter from outside finally snapped her out of it, making her realize just how distracted she had been.Karina gave a wry smile and muttered to herself, “This is why you don’t get ahead of yourself. Seriously, one of life’s biggest delusions.”For a fleeting moment, she had thought Wilfred might feel something for her too. But it was better this way, she told herself—better to wake up now than to fall in too deep later. Romance wasn’t her strong suit; focusing on her career was safer.While others might drown their heartbreak in food or a night out, Karina chose the most grueling outlet: work. It might be exhausting, but it was effective. S

    After hearing Wilfred’s response, the director could barely contain his excitement. He immediately signed the contract.As he finished, the director couldn’t help but remark, “Dr. Wilfred, I had a feeling you’d be a great ally for our hospital. And now I see I was absolutely right!”Wilfred replied in his usual composed tone, “Well, considering you’ve helped me solve a big problem, it’s only fair I return the favor.”The director froze for a moment. When had he ever helped Wilfred? He had no idea what Wilfred was referring to.Instinctively, he glanced at Karina, catching the fleeting surprise and uncertainty in her expression. Realization dawned, and he let out a hearty laugh. “Dr. Wilfred, you’re too kind! Honestly, Dr. Norman is so talented. She’s hardly a burden. If anything, we’re the ones benefiting.”The rest of the conversation blurred in Karina’s mind. Her thoughts were stuck on Wilfred’s earlier comment, delivered so casually yet carrying so much weight. Was it really

    Karina froze for a moment, watching as Wilfred walked through the crowd toward her. He wasn’t wearing his white coat but casual clothes—a khaki turtleneck sweater that softened the sharp angles of his features, paired with tailored pants. The outfit gave off a relaxed, homely vibe, yet the air of aloofness surrounding him remained untouched. If anything, that distance only added to his allure, intensifying the crowd’s fascination and desire to get closer. Wilfred extended a hand to the hospital director. “Dr. Lincoln, thank you for personally greeting me.” “No need for thanks, Dr. Wilfred,” the director said with a chuckle. “It’s a privilege to have someone of your stature visit our hospital. As the director, it’s my duty to show the proper respect.” Their handshake was brief, followed by the usual pleasantries. Karina kept her gaze down, avoiding any indication of familiarity with Wilfred. She guessed he would prefer it that way, and her suspicion was confirmed when
