Nina turned around to see Michelle storming towards her, furious. Without a word, Michelle slapped her. Fortunately, Nina reacted quickly, anticipating her move, and caught her hand. Michelle tried to resist, cursing, "You despicable woman! You set me up! While I wasn't paying attention, you cozied up to the powers that be. Not only did you receive donations, but you also managed to get your project noticed by the chief editor. Why? What right do you have to steal my spotlight?" At this point, if Michelle caused trouble for the orphanage, she would only be causing trouble for herself. The station would surely fire her if they found out. Moreover, she had people protecting her, so if she offended others, she would not get far in the future. Thus, she had no leverage against Nina.While Michelle was in a frenzy, Nina looked at her with a cold smile and shook off her hand. "You're allowed to scheme against me behind my back, but I can't defend myself? Besides, didn’t I help you s
Nina looked down and saw blood on her pants. Her face immediately paled, her stomach had been bothering her since yesterday, but she was too caught up in work to pay it much mind.Lacking experience, she ignored the discomfort, and now her stomach was hurting even worse. Instinctively, she clutched her abdomen, bending over in pain. Her face was pale and she was covered in cold sweat.Seeing her bleeding, Nash's expression changed drastically. He hurried over and grabbed her, saying, "Nina!"Nina was in so much pain that she almost fainted. This delayed reaction intensified the pain. She grabbed Nash's arm and said weakly, "The baby..."Without hesitation, Nash lifted her into his arms. "It'll be okay, I'll take you to the hospital!""Quincy, drive quickly!"Quincy was terrified, encountering such a situation for the first time. He quickly opened the car door for them. Nash placed Nina in the car, got in himself, and laid her head on his lap. Seeing her deathly pale face, he wa
Nash followed all the way to the operating room, watching as Nina was wheeled inside. He could only stand at the door, his anxiety mounting. He felt as if the weight of the world was pressing down on him. Suddenly, he remembered something and added, "Save her, and also save her child!"As Nina disappeared through the door, a sense of darkness enveloped Nash. He stood at the entrance to the operating room, panting heavily. Sweat dripped from his forehead, his chest heaving as he remained rooted in place for a long time. It felt like countless threads were pulling at his heart, making it hard for him to breathe. He felt a bit scared.Scared that Nina might be in danger.Scared that if Nina lost the child, she might resent him.In that moment, he truly felt it. Though he could not accept the child, he was even more afraid of losing Nina.Nash remained silent, not uttering another word throughout. He was sitting in a nearby chair, his head bowed, his face filled with worry. His palm
Upon seeing this, Miranda's pupils contracted slightly, revealing a mix of shock and anger. She directly threw her phone to the ground! Her assistant, witnessing the scene, asked, "What happened, Miranda? Why are you so angry?"The phone kept ringing, but Miranda's entire focus was on the news of Nina's pregnancy. Whose child was she carrying? Why was she pregnant? Didn't they agree they hadn't been intimate? Why would Nina be pregnant?Miranda clenched her fist tightly, her knuckles turning white. As the assistant approached, Miranda pushed her away, saying, "Don't touch me!"The assistant was startled by her reaction. Seeing it was Ruby, Miranda's face softened a bit, tears welling up in her eyes, appearing pitiful. She buried herself in the assistant's arms, crying."Why, after all I've done, is he still not satisfied? Has he forgotten my kindness to him?" Miranda sobbed.The assistant could not bear to blame her, seeing her so broken.---As Nina was wheeled out of
Nina woke up in the middle of the night. Feeling a weight on her hand, she opened her eyes and saw Nash sleeping soundly beside her, tightly holding her hand. His hair was disheveled, and his face showed signs of exhaustion, indicating he had not slept well. His usually clean-shaven face now had some stubble, which caught Nina off guard for a moment. Countless emotions surged within her.After a while, Quincy came over, holding various items in his hand. "Madam, you’re awake," he whispered softly. Nina nodded in acknowledgment. Quincy glanced at the sleeping Nash and continued, "Mr. York stayed by your side all night. I told him to get some rest, but he insisted on staying with you. He only fell asleep in the morning."Nina felt a lump in her throat and hoarsely asked, "The child..."Quincy replied, "The child is safe. It was a close call, but luckily the child is fine. Otherwise, it will be over between you and Mr. York. The moment you went into the operating room, Mr. York w
"Nash..." Nina's words were cut off as the door suddenly swung open. Zoe hurriedly walked in, her gaze landing on Nina with a hint of joy. "Oh my goodness, my dear, you're pregnant and you didn't tell me. You've made me the last to know! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gone on that trip. Tell me, am I the last to find out?"Zoe still held a suitcase, wearing a headscarf and sunglasses, looking like she had just gotten off a plane. Her skin appeared significantly tanner than before and she was carrying many things with her.Nina's words to Nash were interrupted by Zoe's arrival. Nina quickly sat up, calling out, "Zoe!"Seeing Zoe, Nina was overjoyed, as if all the clouds had dispersed. Zoe dropped her suitcase and walked over, pushing Nash aside to embrace Nina. "My dear Nina, you've worked hard, carrying the flesh and blood of our York family. It must have been tough."Nina hugged her, feeling either deeply moved or overwhelmed by recent events. She sniffled softly. "Why
The meals were packed in containers and kept warm. The pregnancy meals Nash bought were also cooked by a five-star hotel. Zoe completely disapproved, pushing aside those items and opening the containers, saying, "There are grilled salmon salad, spinach omelette, Greek yogurt with berries and many others. These dishes provide a balance of protein, iron, vitamins, and minerals essential for pregnant women."She recited alone but for everyone to hear, then turned to Nash. "This is your first time being a dad. Learn how to take care of a pregnant woman. You'll have to take care of the child too. These are the foods pregnant women should eat. Don't let her touch anything that promotes blood circulation. It can cause a miscarriage..."As Zoe continued, Nash interrupted, "She's my wife. I know how to take care of her.""You know how to take care of nothing!" Zoe did not believe him at all. "As a husband, letting your wife work and tire herself out, what do you know about taking care of h
She looked a bit surprised to see Mr. York, then tears welled up in her eyes. "Mr. York, I finally get to see you," she said.Mr. York looked up and saw the assistant with a distressed expression. He knew she worked Miranda, so he extinguished his cigarette and tossed it into the trash. "Is the company empty?" he asked.He owned an entertainment company but had an executive CEO to handle day-to-day affairs. There were also others to handle matters when necessary.The assistant replied, "Even if there are many people in the company, Miranda still needs you. And your phone has been unreachable."Mr. York did not want to hear more of this. He frowned. "Is there anything else?"The assistant wiped away tears, but they kept streaming down. "Miranda's old illness has relapsed. Yesterday, she had a performance, but she couldn't hear and had to cancel. If she goes deaf, how will she act? She's already struggling with singing, and now she can't even act. How will she cope with this blow?"
