Chapter 444

Author: Faith Shaw
In Nina's perspective, she could not allow herself to affect others. Though she did not always succeed, within her capabilities, she had to make it happen.

"You're not him, so why do you think you're holding him back?" Yvonne remarked again. "It's the modern era now with emotional freedom and marital freedom. Don't confine yourself. So what if you have a child? You'll still be living together in the future. Besides, he doesn't mind. Why do you? You're just too considerate, always afraid of others being at a disadvantage, while they consider it a blessing!"

Nina looked at Yvonne. Their views on relationships were different. Yvonne was carefree, true to herself. When it was time to break up, she did it without feeling indebted. But Nina was different.

"I don't like him enough," Nina told her.

Yvonne did not see it as an issue. "You haven't even dated. How can you be sure you won't like him? Love can grow over time."

"What if I let him down?" Nina pondered deeply. " Relationships sho

    Nina suddenly realized, "So he knew all along." She had not said anything, but Scott understood it all too well.Yvonne looked at her and chuckled, "That's why not everyone can remain committed, Nina. Just be content." Nina fell into deep thought. What did she have to be discontented about? The two chatted for a while longer before Yvonne emerged. Scott was still standing at the doorway. Seeing Yvonne come out, he asked, "Is she feeling better?"Yvonne said, "Your mind is all on Nina. She's much better now. Don't worry, she's coming to terms with it. In her marriage with Nash, she had already envisioned the ending, though she still harbored dreams of growing old with him if luck was on her side. But dreams eventually must yield to reality."Scott fell silent, a trace of worry crossing his face. These years must have been tough on Nina too.Yvonne walked over, gripping the railing of the corridor. "I put in a good word for you."Taking a deep breath, she looked out the window.

    "I'm not upset," Scott replied. "I know," she continued, "I’m referring to me. But Scott, I have to tell you, I'm not ready to accept another relationship.""What was I thinking?" Scott chuckled. "Don't underestimate me. I admit I'm selfish, but I want to help you more than anything. Despite our feelings, I still consider you my best friend.""What's so good about me?" Nina did not understand, making him worry for so many years.Scott paused for a moment, then simply said, "You're very kind."Nina smiled again. Scott stayed by her side until she fell asleep. As he watched her up close, he reached out to touch her face, noticing the furrow between her brows even in her sleep. He gently smoothed it away, then whispered in her ear, "Nina, I'll never ask you for anything, because everything I have now is thanks to you." With that, he tucked her in, hoping she would sleep well and be free from worries in this life.---Nina was awakened by the sound of her alarm clock. As she

    Nina could not relax and was about to go find Zoe. Before she could, she saw Zoe walk in unharmed."Nina, look what I brought you. I noticed you've been feeling nauseous lately, so I brought some sour and appetizing pickles for you, and also this - your favorite soup.""Zoe."Nina's relieved heart sank back down, and she immediately ran over to hug her. Seeing her so excited, Zoe put down what she was holding."What's wrong? You're all grown up, yet you're acting so impatient!" Zoe teased.Nina let go and looked at her carefully. "Were you hurt? Did anyone throw stones at you?""What nonsense! How could I possibly get hurt? Don't forget what your aunt does. Who could dare to bully me!" Zoe rolled her eyes."Haven't you seen the news? Your beauty salon was vandalized. How could I not worry?" Nina was deeply concerned.Zoe sat down, crossed her legs, and took out a handful of nuts from her pocket, munching on them casually. "Let them vandalize. They'll have to pay for the damages

    Worries would always find a way to surface. This not only affected Zoe but also the company. Nash watched the video briefly. The video captured from this angle was taken at the entrance. It could have been secretly filmed by someone with an agenda or by one of the people present at the scene. At that time, they were all present, making it unlikely for any of them to have filmed it, but he overlooked another possibility. This could work to their advantage."Find a way to suppress the hot search topics," Nash instructed. "Minimize the losses."As an outsider to the entertainment circle, Zoe was accustomed to her freedom, making it difficult for her to deal with the various rumors and controversies on the internet. The power of the internet remained formidable. He did not want anyone to influence her in any way."Understood, Mr. York."They would have to work overtime to suppress the trending topics. After sorting out the trivial matters of the entertainment company in a meeting,

    "Is it true? Can we trust the news?" Upon hearing Michelle's words, they still asked for confirmation."It's true. I'm prepared to stay here all night. We've got the hospital surrounded from all sides. The moment Miranda appears, even if we only catch a glimpse of her, it's still a win!" Michelle assured them."Well then, we'll all stay here. I refuse to believe they won't come out!" They had been waiting here for a whole day, closely following any news about Miranda. They could not go wrong by staying here.However, Michelle's assistant asked, "Michelle, do we really have to wait here indefinitely?"Michelle was also pondering how they could see Miranda. Even if they only caught a shadow, it would be worth it. "We can't just sit around waiting to die."She looked at the nurses ahead and suddenly had an idea.Handing everything over to them, she said, "You guys stay here and keep watch. I'm going to take a look inside.""Michelle, the hospital is guarded. How do you plan to ge

    "Who... who are you? I don't know you. Nash, who is she, who are they all?" Miranda looked at the assistant with a puzzled expression.Everyone was stunned for a moment.The assistant, confused, said, "Miranda, don't you remember me? I'm your assistant, Ruby."Miranda pushed her away abruptly. "Get away from me! Nash, what's happening? Why can't I hear you? Come here, I'm scared!"Zoe was also taken aback by her reaction. She joked, "Started with deafness, now it's memory loss. If this were a drama, it would be too tragic!"Nash walked over.Miranda grabbed his sleeve as if he were her lifeline, hiding behind him and looking at everyone. "Nash, who are they, why are they looking at me like that? Get them all out, I'm scared.""You all, leave," Nash ordered.Zoe was furious to see him so easily swayed by Miranda. She snapped, "Nash, she pulls this and you fall for it? Do you even have a brain?""Leave!" Nash emphasized firmly.Seeing him so protective of Miranda and watching h

    Miranda looked bewildered and surprised, "What did I miss? Why can't I hear anything? Do I have some illness?""No," the assistant comforted her.Nash stood nearby, carefully observing Miranda's every move. Her every action indeed resembled those from the past, as if she was experiencing memory loss.After staring for a while, he typed a message to her, "There are many reporters outside wanting to interview you. Do you want to go and talk to them?"Miranda naturally refused, "I don't want to."Waking up from her sleep, Miranda suffered from memory loss and became a true victim.As for the video, Nash knew it was uploaded by her assistant, Ruby.When questioned about the incident, the assistant boldly admitted, "I'm the one who uploaded the video. Miranda was bullied, and no one came to her defense. So, I left it to the netizens to judge. She had no one to stand up for her, but she had fans supporting her, and I'm one of them. Mr. York, if you want to punish someone, punish me. B

    "Are you talking about the trafficking case?" Ben responded, "I remember, it was a very serious criminal case, and I was involved as a defense lawyer."At that time, there was no public trial. There were many dark things involved and he had a strong impression of it."Yeah." Ben was no stranger to this matter. Nash then said to him, "It was also around this time that Miranda left the country without notice."Ben added, "It might just be a coincidence. Miranda is just a girl. She shouldn't be involved in such a big case."If she was involved in this case, it would probably involve even more people around her. It would also indicate that Miranda was not simple.Ben had very little contact with Miranda. He had been friends with Nash for many years, and had only met her a few times. He wouldn't befriend her either."Let's hope not."Nash could only say that, "But you know, even though the case was solved, the mastermind behind it was never caught.""There were many suspicious point

    But instead of feeling touched, Vera’s first reaction was nausea. A wave of discomfort surged up from her stomach, and Vera’s face paled. She bolted for the bathroom. Caleb followed quickly. “Are you feeling sick?” “I don’t think so. I’ve been eating normally—nothing too heavy or weird lately.” Vera clutched her stomach, just as confused as he was. Then, a possibility flashed through her mind. Caleb clearly had the same thought. Without a word, he turned and walked into their bedroom, returning moments later with a pregnancy test. Vera looked at him, stunned. “When did you buy that?” He responded matter-of-factly, “Better safe than sorry.” Vera was momentarily speechless. Five minutes later, she stepped out of the bathroom, her hand instinctively resting on her stomach, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief. It was positive. They had only been married for three months. How did this happen so fast?Caleb, on the other hand, remained composed—at le

    Of course, Vera wasn’t about to dump all her responsibilities on her assistant. That would be exploitation. She called her assistant into her office. “You’re twenty-five this year, right?” Her assistant blinked, confused. Wasn’t her age common knowledge? Why was Vera suddenly bringing it up? A thought struck her. Was this an arranged marriage situation? Her face immediately filled with silent refusal. “Miss Vera, I’m still young. I’m not thinking about marriage anytime soon.” Vera tapped her pen against the desk. “I’m not telling you to get married.” “Oh.” “I just want to offload some of the smaller daily tasks to you. You don’t have to run every minor document by me.”Her assistant instantly understood. A raise. After confirming she was on board, Vera gave her a salary bump and had her hire a few more assistants to distribute the workload. “If I don’t have time to handle everything, you guys will take care of it. If something’s too complicated, jus

    Vera could sense danger the moment the conversation turned in this direction. Her father had never questioned her about married life, and she was lucky enough to avoid nosy relatives. But just because she hadn’t experienced it firsthand didn’t mean she hadn’t seen it happen to others. Without hesitation, she abandoned the half-folded pastry in her hands. “I... uh, need to use the restroom.” Before she could escape, Mrs. Smith caught her wrist. “You and Caleb aren’t getting any younger,” she said matter-of-factly. “You should start thinking about kids—make sure you’re putting in the effort, hmm?” Vera left the kitchen visibly drained. Mrs. Smith was a wonderful mother-in-law, the kind who treated Vera like her own daughter. Despite knowing Vera came from a well-off family, she had still gifted them a house as a wedding present. Of course, Caleb already owned a place, but his mother had insisted. “That’s your house. This is the home I’m giving you as a weddi

    That undeniable possessiveness flickered in Caleb’s gaze—subtle yet impossible to ignore. It was the kind of look a powerful man might give his beloved in an old Hollywood film. And right now, the photographer felt like the unlucky bystander who had accidentally stumbled upon an intimate scene. His voice wavered slightly, caught up in his own imagination. “Mr. Smith, lift your eyes toward the camera.” Caleb’s sharp gaze flickered over, intense and commanding. The photographer instinctively pressed the shutter. They continued with several more poses, reviewing the shots as they went. Vera loved them all, but her favorite was still the vintage-inspired one. “How long until we get the final prints?” she asked. “Two to three days at most,” the photographer replied. “I’ll have them shipped directly to you.” Then, after a slight pause, he hesitated before making a request. “I actually have a personal favor to ask—would you both be open to letting us displa

    Vera was tempted. They had already taken plenty of wedding photos—several sets at the island, more at the wedding itself. But this wasn’t just any photo studio. It was privately booked and known for being one of the most prestigious studios in the city. Appointments here were nearly impossible to get. The fact that Caleb had managed to secure a session meant he had gone to great lengths to make it happen. If they were just going to take ordinary wedding pictures, it would be a waste of an opportunity. Still, she wasn’t sure what kind of shoot she wanted. The photographer, understanding her hesitation, pulled out a sample album. “You can take a look at our past work. These are some of the styles we’ve done.” Flipping through the pages, Vera saw an array of stunning concepts—each picture more breathtaking than the last. Then, one particular set caught her eye. A Golden Age Hollywood theme.It was classic, nostalgic, and beautifully atmospheric. “Ca

    After the wedding, Vera considered taking some time off for a honeymoon. But the thought quickly faded when she realized Caleb had been practically living at the hospital. With a sigh, she dismissed the idea. She was used to it, but to say she wasn’t disappointed would be a lie. Her assistant picked up on it. “Mrs. Smith, don’t you want to go on a honeymoon?” she asked one day. “One of my friends just got married, and she’s been obsessively researching destinations. “She even said a marriage without a honeymoon is already half a failure.” Vera froze mid-page, suddenly losing interest in the documents she had been reviewing. Her assistant hesitated, then offered a suggestion. “Why don’t you go visit Dr. Smith at work?“You seem… distracted. Maybe seeing him will help.” Vera snapped out of her daze, suddenly aware of how preoccupied she had been lately. It was embarrassing to admit, but she had been zoning out far too often—especially after coming hom

    Whenever they did this in the past, Caleb always maintained some restraint. But tonight—he didn’t hold back at all. He took her from the bedroom to the bathroom, then back to the bed, his searing kisses trailing every inch of her skin. The next morning, even as she woke up, Vera could still feel the lingering traces of last night’s intoxicating pleasure. As expected, she ended up taking the day off. It wasn’t until two days later that she finally returned to work. *Everyone at the company had already prepared for this. The moment Vera walked into the office, she was greeted with knowing smiles and teasing remarks. “Congratulations, Mrs. Smith!” “Newlywed bliss, huh?” “Three whole days off? Someone had a good time.” It didn’t take a genius to figure out what she had been up to. Obviously, her married life was going exceptionally well—so well that she had completely abandoned work for it. Under the weight of their mischievous stares, Vera barely k

    Yelena still hadn’t accepted Hunter, but he wasn’t giving up either and was relentlessly closing in on her. Knowing Yelena’s soft heart, Vera figured it was only a matter of time before she gave in. She let out a sigh. Her friend’s love life wasn’t something she could interfere with. Besides, Caleb had already given her a little inside scoop. “She came to the hospital for a follow-up a few days ago,” he had mentioned casually. “Hunter was the one who brought her.” Vera had clicked her tongue at the news. Yelena always seemed quiet and reserved, but apparently, she was full of surprises.*Time flew by in the blink of an eye.By mid-month, Caleb had rented out an entire vineyard and spent several days transforming it into the perfect wedding venue.When the day arrived, the celebration took place right there.The vineyard was sprawling and elegant, every bit as grand as any luxury hotel—if not better. Even the wine cellar remained untouched, stocked with years-

    “Did you plan this from the start?” Vera narrowed her eyes, feeling like she had just walked into a carefully laid trap. “Mm.” Caleb smiled, then leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Because yes—he had always been planning this. The biggest change in Vera’s life after the island proposal was the ring now sitting on her finger. It wasn’t just any ring. It was custom-made, something Caleb had specially ordered. She only found out by accident when she glanced at his phone one day and saw the purchase record. It had been ordered two months ago. Vera did the math and was stunned. He had been preparing for this long before she even started getting impatient. Her heart swelled with emotion. And as soon as Caleb’s parents heard that their son had finally proposed, they wasted no time pushing them to get the marriage license. *One day, Vera overheard Caleb’s mother lecturing him. “Your dad and I weren’t expecting much from you.
