Nina did not know how long she sat there, but a deep sadness enveloped her heart. Nash lay motionless in Nina’s arms. The room was quiet with only the sound of his steady breathing.She wanted to ask, but there were no answers. Perhaps she already knew without needing to ask.Eventually, Nina quietly left. This time, her feelings were different. There was more bitterness."Ma'am," James called out, seeing her come out silently. "Did you have a fight with Captain? Are you both okay?"Felix tugged at James's sleeve, signaling him to say less. Seeing Nina's pale face, it was clear things did not go well.Nina looked up at James and said, "Take good care of him." Then, she walked out the door.James stood there, sighing at the fate of two people who could not be together. It was like fate was playing a cruel joke.When Nina returned to the apartment, Wilfred was waiting for her."How did it go?" Wilfred asked. "Is everything okay?"Nina looked at Wilfred and asked, "Do you k
Scott returned home and began searching through all his documents, trying to learn about the organization called Nile. He wondered how he could get in touch with them and whether he had even a slim chance of obtaining the antidote.He spent the whole night searching. The organization was very secretive and operated in border countries to avoid sanctions. Some of the people who had been captured over the years spoke different languages and did not appear to be from the same ethnic group.At this moment, the door opened, and Scott's mother walked in. "Scott, what are you doing? Why is everything so messy?""I'm searching for information.""What kind of information is worth losing sleep over? You haven't slept, have you?" Scott's mother, who looked like a gentle and kind housewife, spoke softly. "You've been so busy with work these days, and now you don't rest. How can your body take it? Besides, Yasmine will be here soon. You need to be ready to spend time with her. Stop what you'r
Yasmine was taken aback by his questions. "I've heard people say that. Why do you ask?"Scott pressed on, "Can the Yaren people create antidotes for their own poisons?"Yasmine found his questions odd but answered patiently, "I don't know. My dad is from the Yaren tribe, so I have half Yaren blood, but I'm not very familiar with their ways. I've heard my dad say that the small country is very chaotic, with high and low castes."She pointed at a person in the newspaper. "They look like us but have darker skin. They're from the lower caste and have very low status. My dad is from the high caste."Scott knew little about this tribe. The small country was poor and backward, still ruled by a monarchy, and he had never visited it. He was not familiar with their civilization either.Scott made a decision that he wanted to go and see for himself. Maybe he would find something useful.Yasmine warned him, "It's very dangerous there. The people are not well-educated, and many curious touris
Nash rubbed his forehead. The pain was preventing him from focusing on their words. He could not remember what he had done last night. It felt too much like a dream. If Nina had come, at least he would have seen her. He could not continue to appear so disheveled."You two, leave," Nash said hoarsely, dismissing them."Yes!" They both promptly left.But within ten minutes, James reported from the doorway, "Captain, Miss Miranda is here!"Nash quickly washed up and changed his clothes. He felt a slight discomfort at the news but concealed it. "Have her wait downstairs," he said coldly.Miranda was in a good mood. She had secured the starring role in the most anticipated TV series adaptation, a major breakthrough for her career.If the drama became a hit, she would firmly establish herself in the entertainment industry. She came specifically to share this good news with Nash.After waiting for about twenty minutes, Miranda saw Nash coming down. She immediately greeted him, "Nas
Miranda wanted to see how Nina would make a fool of herself. Not doing her job properly as a reporter, she actually went to invest in a TV series, and in the end, it would all go to waste. She would immediately become a pauper. This was Miranda's most anticipated outcome.Nash did not say anything, but there was a subtle change in his expression. His car was parked at the door, and the two of them sat in it. Miranda wanted to lean on Nash, but he spoke, "You've posted so much online but when are we getting married? When will there be a cure?" Miranda smiled widely. "Don't worry, I'll start filming soon and won't have much time. Besides, Nina won't die now. I won't let her die. She might suffer a bit more, but with Wilfred around, she won't suffer much. I promise she'll be fine in the end!" Nash looked at her coldly. "I hope you can keep your word." Miranda said affectionately, "It seems like I'm betting on Nina, but actually, I'm betting on you. If I let you down, wouldn't I
"We have a big crew and fight scenes with actors flying around. It's really hard to control, sorry!" Despite the apology, the actor continued flying around."You've already encroached on our set!" Angel said angrily. "We're filming a modern drama here. Is it reasonable for you to be flying around? Doesn't your cameraman worry about continuity errors?""We're just at the edge, we haven't crossed into your area. Have you thought about why you got hit? Maybe you intruded into our space!" the flying actor retorted."You!" Angel put her hands on her hips, knowing from their tone it was intentional. "You’re obviously twisting the truth!"The flying actor sneered disdainfully and muttered, "What a crappy drama you're filming. Your investment isn't even a fraction of ours, yet you're making a scene. Do you think this film studio belongs to your family?""You..." Angel was furious.Nelly stopped Angel and warned the other actor, "We may not have as much investment or popularity as you, bu
Miranda overheard the comments, knowing they were meant for her. Not wanting to lose to Nina, she smiled and said to the crew, "Nash and I are treating everyone to a meal. Order whatever you like. It’s on me!""Wow, a feast!" The crew was delighted."Thank you, Miranda. Thank you, Mr. York. You’re really generous, just like a future Mrs. York!" This flattery pleased Miranda immensely. She wanted to uphold the title of Mrs. York even more, so she said to everyone, "You’ve all worked so hard. You need to eat well to have the energy to work. Nash and I hope that our drama will be a big hit!"They all raised their glasses filled with beverages in toast.Miranda's assistant got busy taking everyone's orders. Angel watched Miranda, thinking she was already acting high and mighty without even being married yet. She could not understand why Nina divorced Nash and why he ended up with Miranda. It was all too complicated.Angel felt bad for Nina. Nash never publicly announced their marr
"Am I being sarcastic? I'm just stating the facts," Nina replied to Miranda. "A scratch is nothing to him."Miranda insisted, "Even if it's just a scratch, I still worry."She reached for the first aid kit, intending to treat his wound.Nash pulled his hand back. "No need," he said coldly, clenching his fist. "It's a small wound, it'll be fine in a couple of days.""No," Miranda said firmly. "It needs to be treated. Listen to me, I'm afraid it might get infected."Nina continued, "Let her take a look. She worries because she cares. Otherwise, she might not sleep well tonight."Nash's expression darkened even more. He was visibly uncomfortable.Seeing no reason to stay, Nina decided it was best to leave them be. Angel loved gossip and complaining. She found Miranda’s behavior so annoying that it gave her goosebumps. Because of this, Angel had complained to Nina many times about how pretentious Miranda was. Nina had interacted with Miranda many times before and knew that Miran
