Miranda's head jerked to the side, and she fell directly from the hospital bed. It was a heavy fall, and the sound of bones hitting the floor could be heard clearly. She ended up lying sprawled on the ground in a miserable state.Just as Nash was about to push Miranda away, Zoe took the initiative and slapped Miranda first.Seeing Zoe present, Nash asked sternly, "What are you doing, Zoe?"At that moment, only the assistant rushed to help Miranda up."What am I doing? I'm dealing with the third party. Can't you see?" Zoe retorted coldly, showing no mercy to either of them.Tears flowed even more intensely from Miranda's eyes as she lay motionless, appearing fragile and helpless.Nash frowned, pulling Miranda up from the ground and saying, "She's ill, I just came to check on her.""And who are you to her, that she needs you to check on her?" Zoe disapproved. "She's faking it all. The whole point is to make you feel sorry for her, and you're falling for it!""I'm her boss. Even i
Nash intervened, pulling Zoe back, fearing her impulsive actions might escalate the situation. "What's going on, Aunt Zoe? Let her go!"Zoe shrugged off Nash's hand. "I'm not letting go. Today, I'm going to reveal her true colors and show you all. She's nothing but a liar. She's not deaf at all!""Ah—" Miranda screamed loudly. "You all wish for my death, I'll die then!" In the midst of their entanglement, she pushed past everyone and ran out. She crashed into the wall. Blood gushed from her head, and she fell to the ground unconscious. Nina widened her eyes, watching Miranda's action in shock, her face pale and her body retreating. Zoe was also stunned, not expecting Miranda to be so reckless. No one reacted in time. "Miranda!" The assistant called out in fear, "You gang of tormentors, you're all hurting her!" Nash did not hesitate, and he carried Miranda out directly. "Quick, call the doctor!" The assistant did not have time to argue with them and hurried out to call the d
"Nash..." She had just approached and was just about to call out but Nash turned back. He was still on the phone and he walked past her without noticing. "Block the news. Don't let anyone know about Miranda's condition. It won't look good..." Brushing shoulders with Nash, she felt like she was being treated as invisible. At that moment, Nina felt quite uneasy. While she worried about Zoe, it seemed that Nash was consumed with concern for Miranda, fearing it might affect her future prospects. She should not have thought so much about it, but everything she saw planted seeds of doubt in her mind. Seeing Nash so preoccupied with Miranda, he must have been very worried. Nina did not want to trouble him to find out more, so she headed towards the office. The doctor would surely provide her with accurate answers.Talking to the doctor about Miranda's condition, she learned that Miranda was deaf in both ears, completely unable to hear. She had already known about Miranda's inability
She owed him too much, debts she had not yet repaid."I'm fine," Scott walked in, wiping his sweat with a smile. "I rushed over from home so I didn't even have time to change clothes."Looking at him, Nina smiled. "Sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water.""No need, I'll do it myself!" Scott grabbed it, not wanting her to strain herself. "Is the baby okay?"Hearing him, Nina sat back down. "Has Leonard already told you everything?"Scott sipped his water, smiling but not saying a word.Nina teased, "He tells you everything. I suspect he's your informant. The moment something happens to me, it's immediately in your ears.""No way," Scott placed the glass down. "He and I are just good friends. We chat more because we're classmates.""Good then, or else I'd have no privacy left," Nina joked.Scott's gaze lingered on her belly."The baby's fine. There’s been some bleeding but it's not serious, the doctor told me to rest more," Nina informed him.Scott inquired further, "How man
Upon hearing this, a look of shock crossed Nina's face. Scott hung up after finishing his words. This decision had been on his mind for a long time. He needed to be brave and give it a try. If he did not seize this opportunity, he might never have it again."Scott, what are you saying!" Nina had never expected him to do this. She was not carrying his child, yet he was eager to step in as the father. This was unheard of.Scott explained, 'I'm sorry for making this decision on my own, but I believe it's the only way to make him give up.'"But what about you?" Nina furrowed her brows. "The child isn't yours, yet you're taking on this responsibility. It's not fair to you!"She was mindful of the situation. Scott was still young, with a long road ahead. What would his future wife think? What about his family? She could not let him bear this responsibility for her sake, inviting gossip and criticism.Scott responded, "Fair or unfair, in this life, I'll do what I like. I don't care w
"Scott..."The door slammed open, revealing Nash's grim face as he stormed in angrily."Scott!" Nash grabbed Scott's collar as he approached. "You've got some nerve to say that!"He had been itching to punch him for a while now! Lingering around Nina, it had been fueling his frustration.But for Scott to say something like that today... it was asking for trouble!He landed a direct punch on Scott's face."Nash!" Nina intervened immediately, scolding, "This is a hospital, don't resort to violence!"Nash's voice turned cold. "He's the one I'm hitting!"Despite taking a punch, Scott chuckled. "Go ahead, I owe you this. But once it's done, can Nina be returned to me?"Seeing his relaxed smile, Nash clenched his fists so hard they creaked. "Scott, you're not leaving with a face!""As long as you give Nina back to me, my face means nothing. I'd even give you my life!" Scott wiped the blood from his lip, completely unfazed by how much more beating he might take."You're asking for
Scott knew Nina inside out. Everything became crystal clear to him."Great, you two are on the same page now, and I've become the outsider!" Nash's heart turned cold. His gaze shifted to Nina, a smirk playing on his lips. "You want to tell me this, don't you? You and Scott have the closest relationship!"From that moment on, Nina knew they had completely severed ties. It still hurt her. However, knowing how caring he was towards Miranda, it was an insurmountable barrier even if their marriage persisted. He would never let go of Miranda. For her, it was a thorn in her side, a nagging feeling that would not go away."Think what you will," Nina said. "I've said my piece.""There’s no need for you to say anything," Nash retorted. With icy resolve, he pulled out their marriage certificate from his inner coat pocket.Holding up the certificate, he scoffed at Nina. "Our marriage, you don't want it? Well, neither do I!"Before their eyes, he tore up the marriage certificate. Nina wat
Nash was unaware, but Scott was. She had truly kept it to herself, not mentioning it to anyone.Scott's words resonated with her deeply. If someone paid even a bit of attention to her, they would recognize the person reflected in the depths of her eyes.The absence of attention meant ignorance. This indirectly suggested that Nash did not know about her feelings because he hadn't focused on her.She felt immensely sad. Scott's heart ached sharply. He had never seen Nina cry so intensely. It was merely Nash tearing up their marriage certificate, seemingly a trivial act, yet it left Nina utterly devastated. Scott embraced her, gently patting her back. "I understand your sadness. I understand you. You're not wrong. There's nothing wrong with liking someone.""I was wrong," Nina shook her head. "I was wrong from the beginning. I thought I was special, but I was just a passing figure in his life. It was wrong from the start!"She liked him because Nash had saved her, and she believe
