Upon hearing that, Nina thought something was wrong and asked with concern, "Uncomfortable? Where does it hurt?"Her eyes widened as she looked at him.Looking at her face, Nash said in a husky voice, "My body hurts."Nina quickly checked to see what was wrong. When she felt his burning body and heard his labored breathing, she realized what was happening. Her face immediately turned red, and she pulled away, a bit annoyed. "At a time like this, you're thinking about that? Can't you control yourself?""It's a natural reaction. How could I possibly control it?" Nash said with a hint of helplessness, trying to calm the fire within him.Nina retorted, "I think you just think about it too much. It's always on your mind!"Nash looked at her and disagreed, saying, "If I didn't think about it, that would be a problem. If I couldn't get an erection being this close, I might as well be useless!"Nina, embarrassed by his bluntness, could not respond directly."Just sleep," Nash said, p
Nash used the process of elimination. The fact that they fired at him suggested a personal grudge. The only unresolved case from back then was the human trafficking case.These criminals would typically target children, not an adult woman like Nina, unless it involved organ trafficking.Given the exposure from the first attempt, they would likely be cautious and avoid targeting the same person twice. Moreover, Nina’s status made her an unlikely target for such criminals. This pointed more towards someone hiring them specifically to harm Nina.“Captain York, that woman from yesterday is here again,” a soldier reported urgently, unable to keep her out.Miranda stood not far away, visibly emotional as she saw Nash awake. As a public figure, she always wore sunglasses to avoid negative press, especially during sensitive times. Removing her glasses now, her eyes were red and tears streamed down her face, making her look both pitiful and deeply affectionate.“Nash, are you okay?” she
“What's going on? Are they getting along better now?”, Miranda thought to herself.She wanted to tear them apart, but wasn’t she just helping them now?Miranda's fingers clenched tightly, her unwillingness almost spilling from her eyes. If she could not have him, why should Nina? She knew Nash first and had risked half her life for him. Nina should not get to benefit from her sacrifices! It was not fair.“Miranda.” Nash’s sharp gaze fixed on her. “Did you hear what I said?”Miranda snapped back to attention, hiding the fierceness in her eyes. She softened her expression and said, “I understand. I won’t let myself be plagued by negative news anymore. I’ve already taken on several new roles and will focus on my career. I’ll make sure to build a solid image.”She had already stumbled once. To make a comeback, she needed to keep taking on new projects. As long as she focused on her career, people would eventually notice her. In the internet age, any image could be easily promoted.
Nina nodded. Nash had just finished his IV drip and was ready to eat together.In the hospital room, Nash had prepared a hearty meal specifically tailored for a pregnant woman. He opened the lid and handed a bowl of soup to Nina.She took a sip and found it delicious, even better than her own cooking. Her appetite had been quite good lately.Nash sat across from her. Nina picked up a piece of meat, tasted it, and found it too gamey. "This isn't good. You can have it." She tossed it into Nash's bowl and continued drinking her soup.Nash looked at the food in his bowl, then at Nina. He noticed how casually she relied on him for things she did not want, which made him feel needed. A smile crept onto his lips. "Alright, I'll eat anything you don't like."He ate what Nina did not want. Nina did not think much of it. It was just a natural action from her.After finishing her meal, she noticed that Nash had eaten everything she had left. She was a bit surprised and asked, "Why are you e
Nina was stunned by his actions. "How did you know I wanted strawberry cake?"Nash gave a slight smile. "I can do magic."Nina did not believe it. How could it be so coincidental?She glanced at the cabinet, then at Nash, and walked over skeptically to open it.Inside, she found it filled with all sorts of things such as snacks, fruits, cakes, and more, completely packed.She looked back at Nash.Nash pursed his lips. "It’s all for me."Nina laughed. "You’re putting on quite a show to please me. You must have put a lot of thought into this."Nash’s expression looked a bit unnatural, and his gaze shifted to James, who was standing guard at the door.James awkwardly looked away, starting to stare at the wall as if contemplating his actions.Just half an hour ago, Nash and James had been discussing how to surprise and delight Nina.James had suggested, "Fill the cabinet with snacks and then magically produce her favorite treats. It always works, every girl loves it!"Nash was
Nina did not quite understand and asked. "What do you mean? How is he being too hard on you?"James explained, "Yesterday, the captain punished me by making me train until midnight and then get up at the crack of dawn.""Didn't he say you like working out at night?" Nina was surprised."Did he say that?" James felt pitiful and could only swallow his tears and admit, "Alright, I like working out at night."When they arrived at Nina's floor, she said, "Wait here. I'll be back soon.""Okay." James would ensure her safety while respecting her privacy. They had checked the apartment environment, and it seemed relatively safe.Nina was heading home but paused at Wilfred's door. She had many questions but did not know why he wouldn’t see her. Maybe he had his reasons. Was he home now?Nina hesitated for a moment and then rang his doorbell three times.After waiting for a while with no answer, she assumed he wasn't home. Just as she was about to leave, the door suddenly opened, and
"How is this possible?" Nina never imagined seeing Wilfred like this. Why would he be afraid she wouldn't like him? He had every reason to be confident and not fear anyone's disapproval. Right now, Nina needed to take care of his wounds. She spoke softly, "Be good, let me take care of your injuries first."Wilfred was still hesitant. But Nina couldn’t worry about anything else. She needed to help him with his current problem. She unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his pale skin covered in horrifying scars. It pained her to see it.There was medicine on the coffee table. She gently applied it to his wounds and asked, "Did you come to see me yesterday?"Wilfred looked down and didn’t speak.As she treated his wounds, Nina thought over the past few days' events and said again, "You came to see me yesterday. You came but didn’t dare to face me. At that time, you weren’t injured. You got hurt after I was kidnapped. That woman, the red-haired woman, I saw her coming out of your ro
Nina was startled by his actions. "What are you trying to do?" Nina asked, pressing against his chest.Wilfred's eyes were dark and cold. "Aren't you afraid of the danger of barging into a strange man's room?"Nina replied, "We've known each other for a while now.""Do you really know who I am?" Wilfred challenged.Nina looked at him fearlessly. "Do you dare?"Even if I don't know everything about you, do you really dare to do anything to me?" Nina moved closer, completely unafraid of his threats.Wilfred's expression grew more complex.As Nina moved closer, he took a step back.Nina had guessed correctly that he was only trying to intimidate her with words. If he had wanted to harm her, he wouldn't have saved her in the first place.Wilfred stood up from the sofa, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "You're right. No matter what, I can't hurt you."Nina also stood up. "Scarlett didn't try to kill me that day."Wilfred said, "Don't concern yourself with that.""I don't wa
