Chapter 173

Author: Faith Shaw
Usually, Nina appeared distant and indifferent, rarely showing anger. Even when Linda pushed her boundaries, Nina remained distant, speaking only when necessary.

It was only when Nina was pushed to her breaking point that Linda dared to be so bold.

Linda even believed that Nina had no standing in the York family, considering herself superior, which gave her the confidence to try to dominate Nina. However, when Nina suddenly exploded and struck her, Linda felt somewhat lost. With Nash still in the hospital room, she couldn't argue with Nina and had to show weakness. With reddened eyes, she could only meekly say, "I... didn't mean to."

Of course, Nina saw through her tactics, understanding that Linda was trying to put on a performance for others.

Nina no longer wanted to tolerate this behavior. In the end, it was pointless, and others might perceive her as afraid.

She continued, "Just a moment ago, you accused me of scheming against you. You are too self-centered. Take a good look a

The Story is good but it's taking so long for the story to take a turn. Too many circling around the same plot with a different person.

    "I brought this for you," Nina said, removing it from the bag. "Is this the one?"Nash was initially unhappy, but upon seeing that she took it and didn't give it to another woman, his expression softened slightly. However, he couldn't help but question, "If you took it, why did you still let her come over?"Nina looked at Linda. "Ask her if she insisted on coming over, despite my advice. I won't take the blame for this."Nash's gaze returned to Linda. At first, Linda had hoped to show weakness, hoping that Nash would pity her. But as soon as she saw his expression, she knew something was wrong and cautiously said, "I... I just wanted to take care of you, to show you that I care. I'm sorry, it was my fault. I didn't understand clearly. I promise I'll listen next time. I won't do it again."Nash's eyes turned icy. "Get out."This was the first time Nash had treated Linda so coldly, a complete contrast to the man she had chatted with in the villa before. He had even shown sympathy an

    "How could I not worry? You're hospitalized. You can't scare me like last time!" Miranda's voice trembled as tears streamed down her face. "I don't want to see you lying in a hospital bed again. It keeps me up at night. You are more important than filming. I would rather be by your side than shoot any movie."As she spoke, Nash suddenly remembered a serious injury he had suffered before, one that almost cost him his life. It was Miranda who saved him. In response, Nash said, "That won't happen again."Miranda still felt worried, her teary eyes fixed on him. "You promised me before that you wouldn't let yourself get hurt again because you don't want to see me sad. Don't punish me with your body!"He had once teetered on the brink of death.During that time, Miranda had stayed by his side for seven days and nights, hardly closing her eyes.As a result, whenever he got injured afterward, Miranda couldn't sleep all night. Even a small wound cast a shadow over her. She feared he might

    "Ruby, you’re talking too much,” Miranda interrupted, then turned to Nash and said, "I'm fine."Nash glanced over and noticed that her ankle was red. He called out, "Quincy, take her to see a doctor.""Okay, Mr. York,” Quincy responded, walking over.Miranda said, "There's no need to see a doctor. It's just a minor injury. A little cooling spray will do. We often get injured on set, much worse than this. Quincy, could you buy me some medicine?"Quincy looked at Nash, waiting for his response.Nash calmly said, "Go get the medicine.""Yes, Mr. York,” Quincy replied before hurrying out.Even after all this time apart, Miranda still missed him. She restrained herself partly for the sake of her career and partly out of resentment towards him for embarrassing her with Nina. But this visit proved to be useful; at least Nash still remembered her kindness. It put her mind at ease.Miranda took the knife and began peeling an apple for him. "You got hurt and didn't even bother to call me

    She turned off the car engine and waited for Miranda to approach.Miranda, holding the food she brought, smirked coldly. "Why didn't you come inside? Feeling uncomfortable seeing Nash and me chatting?"Nina turned to face Miranda. "Is there something you need?" she asked, meeting Miranda's gaze as she approached."You haven't answered my question yet," Miranda replied.Nina withdrew her gaze and calmly stated, "You know, there's this feeling of pretending to have something when you actually have nothing. The more you flaunt, the less you gain." She knew Miranda was trying to mock her, probably just to flaunt in front of her. Miranda's expression turned cold, clearly disliking Nina's composed demeanor."You're pretending to be unaffected, but deep down, you're hurting. No matter how far apart Nash and I are, he still has a place for me in his heart."You know very well that he established the entertainment company for me. When I expressed my interest in acting, he immediately ar

    Nash avoided all contact with others. Quincy stood at the doorway, politely informing Miranda, "Miss Lewis, Mr. York is resting. He said you don't have to worry about him and should go back to the set."Miranda responded, "That's alright. I've already taken a leave of absence and the director has approved it. I'll come back after he's discharged."Quincy found himself in a dilemma. He gently commented, "Mr. York needs rest."Miranda glanced at the ward, understanding what he meant.She wasn't upset and said, "Could you please give this to Nash for me? I'll bring over Sally's cooked meals when I return.""Of course, Miss Lewis," Quincy replied, taking the document.When he saw the bold letters on the paper, he too was shocked. Miranda said goodbye and left. Her assistant asked, "Why didn't you go inside? It's a rare opportunity.""No rush," Miranda replied. "There will be plenty more opportunities in the future. I should go back to the York residence first."She had more importa

    She refused to release Nina, holding onto her tightly. Her intention to harm Nina was evident."I always knew you were a bringer of bad luck. We would have been fine without you. Zion would have supported me, and our family could have lived happily. It's because of your interference that Zion abandoned us. You're a heartless witch. I will kill you!"Nina's hair was disheveled by Lily's grip. Instinctively, Nina tried to evade her and push her away. Lily's slightly long nails scratched Nina's cheek, leaving a few marks."Madam, this is a police station. Your actions could result in your arrest!"Consumed by rage, Lily lost control of her senses, saying, "Arrest me if you want. As long as I can kill her, even if it means death for me! Even in death, I will drag her to hell!"Lily thrashed about, but the police had no option but to restrain her, forcing her to the ground. Despite being restrained, she glared at Nina with intense anger.Sue, pale-faced, shed tears and pleaded, "Mom,

    Sally quickly added, "Since you've already met, that's even better. Miranda, this is Linda."This is Miranda," Sally introduced.Linda carefully examined Miranda, her expression turning somewhat grim as she suddenly realized, "Sally, could this be... the girl who captured Nash's heart?"She had thought Sally would accept her child and, by extension, accept her as well. But she had obviously been mistaken.Miranda rather liked being addressed this way and amiably responded, "Hello there. Sally has already told me about you, and she said you're carrying Nash's child and taking care of it at home."Linda had concerns and instinctively covered her stomach, fearing that they might harm her child. Miranda sensed her worry and reassured her, "You don't need to be afraid. Since it's Nash's child, I'll naturally treat it well. You don't have to worry. Once you give birth, things will only get better."Linda wasn't sure and asked, "Will you really let me have the baby?"Miranda spoke ge

    Even if she wouldn't accept, Sally would accept it. She couldn't go against her wishes. And she definitely wouldn't stoop to being the villain.After a while, there was a knock on the door. Linda, in her room, asked, "Who is it?""It's me, Miranda," came the reply.Linda hesitated for a moment but still went to open the door. Miranda stood there, holding a bowl of soup, smiling gently at her. "Since you didn't come down, I brought you some soup. Sally made it, and it smells delicious.""I'm not really hungry," Linda said.Miranda placed the soup on the table and turned to look at her. "Did you lose your appetite because you saw me coming?"Linda hurriedly denied, "No, don't think like that.""That's good then," Miranda said, affectionately taking her hand. "You're young, so call me sister from now on. If you need anything, just let me know. As long as I can, I'll help you."Her warmth made Linda feel a bit overwhelmed. "I...""Don't be shy. I'm an only child and always wanted

    Vera forced an awkward smile at Hunter before quickly retreating back into the bathroom to change. Hunter, watching her leave, couldn't help but smirk. “You’re really living the good life, huh?” he teased. “Didn’t expect you to have such luck.” Caleb rolled his eyes, clearly uninterested. “Enough with the nonsense. Why are you here? And who exactly were you talking about over the phone?” He didn’t want to entertain pointless banter, especially not about women. If he was being honest, even he couldn’t fully explain his feelings toward Luna. He wasn’t sure what was left between them—was it love, or just the remnants of something that had long turned sour? That pitiful look in her eyes earlier had shaken him. For a fleeting moment, he had wanted to pull her into his arms, to comfort her like he used to. But after so many years of being humiliated and pushed aside, he had forgotten how to even speak to her anymore. So instead, he did what was easiest—he change

    Hunter spoke casually, his tone light. “Just someone, that’s all. Do you really need all these details?” Caleb was now certain of his suspicion. “Hunter, did you forget what I do for a living? I’m a doctor. If you’re asking me about this, I need to get a clear picture before I can give you an answer.” Hunter exhaled lightly. “That’s fair, but some things can’t be diagnosed right away.” Based on the information Yelena provided earlier, Hunter was only speculating about Liam. But Caleb was an expert in this area, so he specifically called to ask him.Still, explaining everything over the phone wasn’t going to work. “Forget it,” Hunter said. “This isn’t something I can explain over a call. Where are you? I’ll come over.” Caleb hesitated for a moment before glancing at Vera, who was still beside him. In the end, he gave Hunter the address to his villa. Hunter chuckled. “Haha. I’m surprised. You actually do go home to rest.” Caleb ignored the jab and tossed his p

    “Call me Liam.” Before Yelena could finish speaking, Liam cut her off with a sharp, angry voice. She quickly nodded and corrected herself. “Liam, don’t worry. I’ll do exactly as you say. I’ll be good. I won’t make you angry again.” But Liam didn’t care. With a violent shove, he threw her to the ground. Yelena barely had time to brace herself before hitting the cold floor hard, pain radiating through her limbs. Liam, however, just looked down at her with a twisted grin, laughing like she was nothing more than a ridiculous joke. “You’d better learn fast,” he sneered. “And leave your hand broken for a few days—feel the pain properly.” “Alright.” Her voice was quiet, submissive. But Liam wasn’t listening. Without another glance, he turned and walked away. As she watched his retreating figure, Yelena felt a deep sense of dread rise in her throat. Liam wasn’t human. He was something far worse. Her future with him would be nothing short of hell.

    Yelena had made her stance clear—her loyalty was with Hunter. But instead of being convinced, Hunter let out a sharp, mocking laugh. “You sure your loyalty is to me? Or is it just to money?” His words hit like a slap. Yelena stiffened, feeling the sting of humiliation. It was true. When she had been desperate, with nowhere left to turn, she had thrown herself at Hunter, begging him for help. If she had any other choice, if she hadn’t been pushed into a corner, she would have never given up her pride like that. Lowering her gaze, she spoke with measured calmness. “Mr. Hall, you gave me two hundred thousand dollars. You helped me when no one else did. That makes you my benefactor. And loyalty to one’s benefactor… that’s only right.” She didn’t dare meet his eyes, but her voice was firm. Hunter studied her for a moment before scoffing. “Enough with the useless talk.” His voice was cold and dismissive. “Just go back to Liam’s side and do what you’re suppose

    Yelena needed to tell Hunter about this. But before she could finish, Hunter’s cold voice cut through her thoughts. She lowered her head. “This is just how I normally dress. I didn’t deliberately choose my outfit to seduce you, Mr. Hunter. Besides, your brother isn’t even interested in me.” She hesitated before adding, “That two hundred thousand…” Hunter narrowed his eyes. “What are you trying to say?” Seeing his growing impatience, Yelena clenched her fists, still looking down. “I mean exactly what I said. Any normal man wouldn’t turn down a woman who willingly throws herself at him. That night, Liam clearly said he would take me somewhere else… but when we got there, he never touched me. Ever since then, he treats me like I don’t even exist—like I’m nothing but air.” Hunter’s expression darkened instantly. “Are you implying something?” The implication in Yelena’s words was clear. She had just suggested that any normal man wouldn’t refuse a willing woman.

    Vera, as a bystander, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pity for Luna. But if she felt that way, how much worse must it be for Caleb—the man who had loved Luna for years? His pain was unimaginable. Yet, despite the hurt clawing at his chest, Caleb remained cold and unmoved. He didn’t let go. He didn’t waver at Luna’s tearful pleas. Instead, his voice was indifferent as he spoke. “Luna, women always say that late affection is the cheapest thing of all. But the same goes for men—I don’t love you the way I used to. You should go back to Simon.” And as if to drive the knife even deeper, he added, “I’m sure Simon still loves you very much.” If Luna had truly wanted Simon’s love, she would have accepted it long ago. She would have stayed by his side instead of chasing after Caleb now. In the end, men and women were the same. When they loved you, they would cherish you like a treasure. When they stopped, you became nothing more than an afterthought.

    Caleb had no desire to argue with Luna any further. Instead, he turned to Vera. With just one look, she understood and stepped closer to him. Caleb wrapped an arm around her waist. “Luna,” he said calmly, “being with Vera isn’t as exhausting as being with you. Love should go both ways. I hope you can understand that.” “No!” Luna’s voice cracked. “She’s only with you because you helped her solve her problems. If you weren’t Caleb Smith, if you didn’t have the power to fix things for her, she’d be nothing!” Her dark eyes burned with resentment as she glared at Vera. Vera knew she had become Luna’s enemy—but what could she do? Caleb had already made his stance clear. Was she supposed to deny it? Pretend he didn’t just declare his feelings in front of Luna? With a steady voice, Vera replied, “Yes, I do go along with Caleb. He treats me well, and we’ve chosen to be together. We’re both single adults. What exactly is the problem?” She met Luna’s icy gaze head

    Caleb had never seen Luna like this before. But then again, even after realizing her feelings, she still carried herself with the same untouchable arrogance. He turned his head away, refusing to look at her. “Don’t you already have Simon by your side? “Or is he not enough for you?” The moment the words left Caleb’s lips, Luna felt a sharp stab of pain in her chest. Simon had always been the biggest issue between her and Caleb. To her, there was nothing between them now—just an unresolved regret from the past. Yet Caleb had never stopped making it an issue, over and over again. “You keep bringing up Simon because you want me to push him away. But tell me, Caleb, where exactly do you expect me to send him? He’s alone with a daughter to care for.“We’ve known each other for years. It’s not just about Simon. If you were in his position, I would help you too.” Luna’s voice was steady, her words firm—completely oblivious to the mistake in her reasoning. Caleb ha

    Luna took a deep breath, clarity washing over her. In that moment, she knew that she had to get Caleb back. She yanked her hand free from Simon’s grasp. “Simon, I need to go find Caleb,” she said firmly. “I’ll be leaving now. You and your daughter can rest here. Stay in this villa for now, and once you have the money, I’ll sell it to you at half price.” With that, she turned and walked away without hesitation. Luna drove as fast as she could to find Caleb. Caleb was a complete workaholic—aside from the hospital, there was nowhere else he would be.But when she arrived, he was nowhere to be found. A nurse informed her that Caleb had taken the day off. Luna knew exactly where his private villa was. Instead of calling him, she went there directly. She knocked on the door, and to her surprise, the person who answered wasn’t Caleb—but Vera. Vera seemed equally taken aback but quickly regained her composure, maintaining polite courtesy. “Miss Gibson, please wait h
