Suddenly, someone burst into the room. Seeing Nina lying motionless on the bed, Nash’s face was full of tension and urgency. He ran over and immediately took Nina into his arms. At that moment, Nina was too stunned to react.Overwhelmed with worry, Nash had not noticed that Nina was only undergoing a check-up. He held her tightly and whispered, "I’m sorry…"Those simple words carried a multitude of emotions. Nina, pressed against his chest, was a bit shocked but still managed to push against him slightly. "What are you doing?"Nash’s eyes were red, and as he looked at Nina, he seemed a bit disoriented. Nina was startled to see his unshaven face. He looked so different from the Nash she knew."Are you… okay?" Nash’s eyes examined her, relieved to see she was not gravely ill. He then realized that he had overreacted. "I’m... fine," Nina replied in a calm tone, lowering her eyes. "I’m just having some tests done."Nash took another look around, realizing they were indeed in a tes
Nash did not answer the call but instead sent a text and put his phone on silent. The calls from Miranda stopped coming. They waited for a long time. Nina, growing sleepy, began to doze off. Her head was bobbing as she struggled to stay awake. Seeing her exhausted state, Nash sat down beside her and gently rested her head on his shoulder. Nina seemed to find some comfort in this position, her body relaxing as she leaned fully against him. Nash looked at her peaceful side-profile, wishing this moment could last forever. His eyes softened as he watched her. Time seemed to stand still, despite the bustle of people passing by."Miss Walker..." A doctor emerged from the lab, calling out.Nina woke up immediately, standing up quickly. "Here!"In her haste, she did not notice Nash beside her, her mind solely focused on finding out if her condition would affect the baby. The doctor’s serious expression made her heart pound with anxiety."After the examination, we found that your
"What?" Nina was stunned. She immediately pulled her hand away and stepped back. "What nonsense are you talking about? You want me to abort the baby now? I won't do it!"Nash's eyes bore into hers with a stern intensity. "Your body is not fit for pregnancy. If you terminate the pregnancy, it won't drain your nutrients, and you might live longer. The longer you live, the more chances you'll have. Do you understand?"His words were urgent and decisive. He wanted to save her first. There could always be another child.Nina, however, wasn't listening. The moment he mentioned abortion, she wanted to get as far away from him as possible. She didn't want to answer him, so she turned and walked away."Nina!" Nash called out sharply.Nina turned back, yelling, "Didn't the doctor say I can make it until the baby is born? Isn't that enough?""You're risking your life!" Nash retorted. "What happens to you after the baby is born?"Nina's eyes widened with emotion. "And if I abort the bab
The thought that the poison had no cure made her despair even more. She did not want to regret it again. Gathering her resolve, she spoke softly, "Nash, I don’t expect you to love him much, but please, don’t harm him. That’s my final wish."At this moment, Nash saw the determined look in Nina's eyes, and it broke his heart. He couldn't bear to imagine, much less think about, the worst outcome. His fists clenched, hands trembling, and his lips pressed tightly together as he struggled internally. He wished she didn’t have to endure such suffering."Are you sure about this?" Nash finally asked in a soft voice."Yes, I’m sure."Nash made a concession. He no longer insisted on aborting the baby. With Nina threatening her own life, what else could he do? All he wanted was for her to be safe and happy.Seeing Nash's sorrowful and worried expression, Nina offered him a reassuring smile. "Don’t see me as so fragile. I’m stronger than you think. Trust me, I’ll be fine. I will be fin
Nash replied, "Starting a new life means letting go of the past. Nina is part of the past now. Once you finish this drama series, we’ll get married. We can then meet each other’s parents. You already know my mother well, but I haven't met your father yet. Gaining our parents' approval will make our marriage complete."Miranda's eyes lit up, and she quickly wrapped her arms around his. "Your thoughts align perfectly with mine," she said, beaming with joy. "Thank you, Nash. I feel like the luckiest woman in the world!"She hugged him tightly, She rested her head on his shoulder with her eyes closed, savoring the moment of happiness. There was nothing more gratifying than him accepting her back into his life. Her efforts had paid off. She knew Nash still liked her and that Nina was just a temporary distraction. She believed that as long as she continued showing him how much she cared, he would eventually come back to her. Soon, she would truly be happy.Nash held her gently with one
Their relationship was the talk of the industry, making many people envious. At various events, Penelope often heard rumors about Nash and Miranda's relationship. Gossip columns were filled with headlines like, "Nash York Deeply in Love with Miranda Lewis." It irritated her even more than Miranda’s attempts to undermine her."Stop looking at that!" Nina said, taking Penelope’s phone away. "Staring at it won't change anything.""You sure seem to be handling this well," Penelope replied.Nina sat down beside her, munching on a plate of fruit. "I've come to terms with it. Right now, the only thing I care about is my baby. As for everything else, I'm not concerned. Oh, and of course, making sure our drama does well. That’s my focus.""Do you really think that?" Penelope asked. "I still think you love him.""Love isn’t my whole life," Nina said with a smile. "I’m not limited to loving just one person."Penelope could not accept it. It felt like all the good things were going to the
The sudden outburst caught everyone's attention. They heard Nelly exclaiming that their drama series could not get aired on television. This news dealt a heavy blow to everyone’s confidence.Penelope, sobering up quickly, rushed over. "Nelly, what does this mean? Didn’t we pass the review?"Nelly’s expression was grim. "They said our drama is too dark and isn’t suitable for prime-time TV. We’ve put so much effort into this. We can’t let it go to waste. I need to get some answers. I won’t accept this without a fight!"They had high hopes for the drama's broadcast success. This news felt like a cold bucket of water poured over their heads, leaving them all stunned and disheartened."I’ll go with you," Nina offered.Unlike the others who were panicking, Nina remained relatively calm. She had anticipated various challenges. Things were not as dire as they seemed. There was always hope. Nelly’s expectations had been very high, and she held herself to equally high standards. From the
After half an hour, the office door finally opened. As soon as the door cracked open, Nelly sensed there were people inside."Chief, I must treat you to a meal sometime," Miranda said, her face beaming with a smile. "Your advice today was invaluable. I really must thank you."She never missed an opportunity to get close to influential people."Of course, if it's a meal with Nash around, I'll certainly be there!" the broadcasting bureau chief replied, indicating his willingness to accommodate Nash.Nash shook hands with the chief and said softly, "Miranda is one of my artists. She'll be invaluable in many projects moving forward."The chief chuckled and teased, "Is she an artist or your girlfriend? Nash, at this point, there’s no need to hide things from me. I understand why you'd get involved personally."Miranda blushed slightly but maintained her composure. "Chief, you have a keen eye. When Nash and I get married, you must come!"She clung to Nash’s arm as she spoke."Absolut
