Chapter 681

Author: Faith Shaw
"Probably, but I feel like I've caused you trouble."

"Don't say that. We're friends, and this isn't your fault. You've helped me with so much. If I didn't say such polite things, neither should you. Are we not friends?" Penelope laughed and added, "By the way, I have some great news for you. Our drama is a hit!"

Nina was pleasantly surprised. "Really?"

Penelope continued, "Yes, it's been steadily gaining momentum and now has the highest ratings in history. When you have time, you should check it out. Also, 'Demon Bone' started strong but is now falling apart. Everyone's criticizing it online, saying the plot is dragging and it looks like it's going to have a bad ending. Its ratings are dropping day by day. We won this round!"

"That's fantastic," Nina said. "I expected as much."

She had always had high hopes for their show. Even when the initial buzz was low, she believed it had potential.

She thought, even if the audience's acceptance wasn't high, at least breaking even would be

    Pregnancy was inherently difficult for a woman. With her belly so big now, he had not fulfilled his duties as a father. He had not been there to take care of her, leaving her to face everything alone, and this filled him with guilt. He owed Nina a lot.Seeing his reddened eyes, Nina smiled and placed her hand over his. "Isn't everything fine now? Pregnancy comes with some discomfort, but even the hard parts are filled with happiness. Every day, I look forward to his arrival, and just thinking about it makes me happy."Nash said, "You've been through so much. I don't want you to have to go through this again."Nina laughed. "Are you saying one child is enough for you?"Nash replied softly, "Once the baby is born, you'll have gone through so much. I don't want you to endure that again."He had learned about the process of childbirth. Carrying a baby for ten months, with the child growing each day, he knew it became increasingly uncomfortable for her. It was a tough journey, and wh

    Nash paused for a moment, surprised. "He moved!"Nina felt it too. "See, I told you it was real."Nash pressed his face against her belly. "Do you think he can sense me?"Nina looked down at him, smiling. "Probably. Babies are quite perceptive, even before they're born. I think he can hear us talking."Nash was overjoyed. It was a new feeling, the joy of becoming a father. He kissed Nina's belly, cherishing their time together.Nina stroked his hair. "You'll get to meet him soon. Even though you haven't been around much lately, you'll have plenty of time to bond with him once he's born."Nash smiled without saying a word. He helped Nina to the bedroom. She wanted to take a bath and rest. He prepared a nightgown for her and helped her with a bath. These were tasks Nina had always done for Nash, but now the roles were reversed. Nina felt a bit shy but reminded herself that they were about to have a child, so she let Nash take on the responsibilities of a husband and father.Na

    "Yeah." Nash replied.Nina was stunned for a few seconds. She had not fully processed the information. The hero she had always looked up to, Zac, had turned out to be a figment of her imagination. Did that mean her relationship with Nash was based on her imagination? She had followed in the footsteps of a hero only to be told that it was all due to a mix-up in her memories. It was hard for her to accept.It felt like her belief was slowly crumbling. Even though she had doubted it before, she didn't want to shatter this beautiful illusion.Staring at Nash, she felt a deep-seated rejection and denial. "No way," Nina insisted. "Impossible! How could my memories be wrong? I remember it clearly!"Seeing her struggle to accept the truth, Nash tried to comfort her softly. "Even if it wasn’t true, it doesn't matter. Fate brought us together, and that's what counts. Don't dwell on it."Nina couldn't hear his words. If this wasn't real, then what was? What had she been holding onto

    Nash was fortunate.In the first half of his life, he was not sure what he was striving for. On the surface, he had achieved a few things, holding a respectable position, but his life felt incomplete and hollow. He was merely getting by, with no clear direction. Even returning to the York family to fulfill his grandfather’s wishes was more of an obligation than a desire.He knew his grandfather felt guilty towards him. Growing up in the York family, he never experienced parental love and was burdened with the family's expectations. His life was materially rich but emotionally barren. His grandfather, feeling sorry for him, wished for someone to love him properly. And then Nina appeared.Hearing this, Nina felt a bit of bittersweetness. Maybe it was because she was pregnant, her thoughts were more sensitive, and she felt more vulnerable."Nash," Nina looked down, feeling that her past imagination no longer mattered as much. "Will we be able to stay together happily? Without doub

    Nash chuckled, pinching her nose. "If you really like kids that much, we can adopt in the future. I don't want you to suffer anymore. This baby came as a surprise and has already caused you a lot of discomfort."Nina reassured him, "It's not tough. Let’s just go with the flow. As long as we’re happy, everything will be fine!"Nash looked at her with loving eyes, a natural smile forming on his lips. "It's late. Let's get some sleep.""Okay," Nina agreed, lying down and finding a comfortable position to sleep. After all the running around, she really needed a good rest.Nash kissed her forehead, then her lips, each kiss filled with tenderness. But it still did not feel enough. He held her tightly, soothing her, and lulling her to sleep. Soon, Nina drifted off into a peaceful slumber. Nash watched her sleeping, his face lit up with happiness. With her by his side, he felt ready to face any challenge that came their way.The next morning, Nina woke up late. The sun was already high

    Nash helped Nina to her seat, thoughtfully pulling out the chair for her. These were tasks the helpers usually handled, but he found a sense of accomplishment in doing even the smallest things for her. In matters of love, he didn’t have much experience, but he knew he needed to be attentive and considerate to his woman.Nina noticed a change in Nash but couldn't quite pinpoint what was different. Perhaps their relationship had just become closer. The breakfast spread was simple but offered a variety of options. Nina, wanting to ensure she got the necessary nutrients, chose some eggs, beef, and pasta. Nash sat beside her, helping to serve her favorite foods. "That's enough, I can't eat that much," Nina protested, gently pushing his hand away. Just because she was pregnant didn’t mean she needed to eat everything in sight.Nash disagreed, "You're pregnant, but you don't seem to be gaining much weight. When I hold you, you're still so light. You need more nutrition, so eat a bit m

    Felix was just a bit slower.James gave him a smug look, feeling proud of his quick reaction!Inside, Nina was startled by their shouting. Flustered, she quickly pushed Nash away! She then picked up her fork, pretending nothing had happened. Her face flushed red, and she dared not look up, hoping they had not noticed anything.Nash, taken aback by the sudden push, stumbled back a couple of steps, surprised by Nina's strength. He looked towards the door and saw the two men standing like watchmen, blocking the view. Nash's face darkened with irritation, his sharp eyes fixing on them. His moment with Nina had been interrupted, and he was far from pleased.James and Felix looked inside, seeing only the couple eating breakfast, completely unaware that they had just interrupted an intimate moment of them kissing. Nash's clothes were wrinkled due to the result of Nina's grip, making him look slightly disheveled. As a straightforward man with little romantic experience, James did

    He then gave Nina a kiss on the forehead before leaving with peace of mind. Nina walked him to the door, watching as James and Felix were still running, drenched in sweat and repeating their chants. She felt a bit sorry for them.Only after Nash got into the car and called them back did they finish their run. Watching them leave, Nina returned to the house.She checked her phone first and was pleased to see that 'Glory' was gaining more and more popularity each day.Nelly had complimented her sharp eye for spotting a good script, admitting that she herself didn't have such foresight.Meanwhile, Penelope Zhang's popularity had skyrocketed. The largest billboard in the city center featured her image, and fans had bought subway ads to play her show three times a day. Discussions were buzzing. Penelope had made a spectacular comeback, and her schedule was now packed with endorsements and work. Despite her busy days, she still kept in touch with Nina.Seeing Penelope's radiant pres

    As Caleb spoke, he looked at Vera with a hint of helplessness. After all, her hand had been injured because of Luna. “Don’t feel guilty about this. Honestly, it’s nothing to me.“And I’m not the type to carry burdens over things like this.“Besides, it’s been so long. If this had happened back then, I might have cared. But now? I just don’t think it matters anymore.” Vera’s voice was steady and sincere. But Caleb’s expression darkened. “Why would you say that? Why do you think it doesn’t matter? Do you really see me as just the same as everyone else?” For some reason, at this moment, Caleb took it personally. Vera couldn’t help but laugh. “Of course not. You’re different from the rest—so obviously, I wouldn’t see it the same way.“You’ve helped me so much. The least I can do is acknowledge that, instead of stubbornly nitpicking about what’s right or wrong, don’t you think?“Besides, whatever happened between you and Luna, that’s none of my business. It’s in

    “I didn’t mean to just now. Besides, you’ve been acting all sneaky lately—so really, who else is to blame?” Seeing Yelena in tears, Liam, who had been furious just moments ago, felt a small pang of guilt. He was never good at expressing emotions. But watching her like this made him a little uncomfortable. “Go get your hand treated. Otherwise, people who don’t know any better might think I’ve been abusing you.” With that, he turned and walked away. Yelena watched his retreating figure, feeling a bit helpless. This wasn’t something she could decide on her own. Installing surveillance? It wasn’t as easy as it sounded. Liam was naturally suspicious. If he caught wind of it, the consequences would be disastrous. But she had no choice. She had a mission to complete, and there was more at stake than just this moment. Letting out a deep sigh, she finally decided to head to a clinic to get her hand treated. *“What happened to you? That’s a serious injury. You

    And just like that, the conversation fell into a brief silence. Meanwhile, on the other side, Hunter received a call from Yelena. “What did you just say?” Yelena told him that her hand was broken, and on top of that, Liam seemed to be getting suspicious. She wasn’t sure what to do, so she called Hunter for advice. “I don’t really care what happens to you, but at the very least, take care of yourself.“Otherwise, if something else goes wrong later, I’ll have to step in and clean up the mess. Don’t you think so?” Hearing this, Yelena was a little taken aback. “It’s not just about my injury. The real problem is, I’m scared of what he might do now.” Sure, she had taken the two hundred thousand dollars, but she had to stay alive to spend it. At this rate, she wouldn’t even make it through in one piece. “I already told you—protect yourself. If you need anything else, I’ll try to provide it. But right now, I need you to do something for me.” Hunter had been look

    “Yes, it’s in that mountain area. If you’re worried, you can go check it out yourself. But as for anything else, we don’t really have much more information.”Compared to everything else, this was the most baffling situation.“You make a good point. But given the current circumstances, I think it’ll be difficult to pull off.”Vera was speaking with the private investigator. Deep down, she was more worried than anything else.“Don’t worry,” the private investigator reassured her. “Aside from what we discussed earlier, nothing else seems too extreme. Plus, we’ve already looked into it pretty thoroughly.”By the time he finished speaking, his expression had grown more complicated.“Alright. I understand.”After hanging up, she anxiously looked straight ahead. If she had been mentally prepared before, now she was starting to feel uneasy. “What’s going on?” Caleb asked while driving, glancing at her. Vera hesitated, debating whether to tell him or not. But seeing the strange

    “I only had one surgery today,” Caleb said as he drove, his voice calm but firm. “Now that it’s done, I want to know why this happened.” After that, he said nothing more. Vera sat in silence, her heart uneasy as the car pulled up in front of an upscale club. Even though her hand was already bandaged, she still felt a sting of pain every time Caleb showed concern. “So this is what it feels like to have someone care,” she thought to herself.Back when Vera had been stepped on, her only concern had been the contract—whether the deal would fall apart and if her suffering had been for nothing.If it had been anything else, she probably wouldn’t have cared as much.But Caleb’s concern made it impossible for her to brush aside.It kept lingering in her mind, refusing to let her feel indifferent.“Don’t overthink it,” Caleb said, his voice firm. “Whatever happened between Luna and me doesn’t change the fact that this concerns me too—and I owe it to you to make things right.”

    “Oh? So this is the apology you wanted?” Vera’s forehead was covered in cold sweat from the pain, but the two women standing over her barely reacted. As if this was normal to them. As if humiliating her was just another game. “I asked you a question.” Vera remained half-crouched on the ground, her hand still pinned under Luna’s heel. Helena smirked. “Yeah, I’d say that’s good enough.” She hadn’t expected Vera to be this stubborn, but it didn’t matter. With an exaggerated sigh, she casually scribbled her signature onto the contract. The deal was officially secured. Vera didn’t waste another second. She cast one last glance at the two women. “I have no interest in getting involved in your personal drama. As for Caleb and me, that’s between us. We both made our choices.” Luna’s expression twisted slightly. “I won’t bother commenting on your relationship,” she said, voice dripping with disdain. “But don’t think for a second that this will ever earn

    The moment Vera heard her assistant’s words, her expression darkened. Her previously calm tone turned firm. “If that’s the case, I understand. But I still have to go. This is my responsibility, and no one else can handle it.” If she didn’t take the lead, the other party would only grow bolder. However, the moment she glanced at the name on the negotiation list, she couldn’t help but frown. Because the person she was supposed to meet wasn’t just anyone. It was Helena Xander. Vera had encountered her before—back when her relationship with Caleb hadn’t yet escalated. Even then, Helena had openly mocked her, saying that since Caleb had been Luna’s devoted lapdog for years, he should know his place and never overstep. She had also thrown a few sharp words at Vera, telling her to recognize her own status—as if warning her that getting involved would only bring trouble. Back then, Vera hadn’t taken it seriously. She never thought she would cross paths with the

    “Alright, enough of this. If you’re serious about investigating, you’ll need proper psychological evaluations,” Caleb said nonchalantly.“The best way to assess something like this is through clinical observation—watch for behavioral inconsistencies, memory gaps, or personality shifts. If you can, gather video footage of his daily life. That’s the only way to get a clearer picture. Otherwise, it’s just speculation.”Caleb made the remark casually, then swiftly issued a dismissal.“You came all the way here just to mess with me? What about your own situation? How’s that going?” Caleb’s sarcasm was dry and pointed. Hunter let out a long sigh. “What else could it be? Business as usual. Compared to others, I’m probably the only one with enough patience for this mess.” He was, of course, referring to his ongoing battle with Liam. Caleb gave him a small nod. “Alright, you should get going now. I need to rest. Don’t loiter around here.” Without hesitation, he waved his hand

    Vera forced an awkward smile at Hunter before quickly retreating back into the bathroom to change. Hunter, watching her leave, couldn't help but smirk. “You’re really living the good life, huh?” he teased. “Didn’t expect you to have such luck.” Caleb rolled his eyes, clearly uninterested. “Enough with the nonsense. Why are you here? And who exactly were you talking about over the phone?” He didn’t want to entertain pointless banter, especially not about women. If he was being honest, even he couldn’t fully explain his feelings toward Luna. He wasn’t sure what was left between them—was it love, or just the remnants of something that had long turned sour? That pitiful look in her eyes earlier had shaken him. For a fleeting moment, he had wanted to pull her into his arms, to comfort her like he used to. But after so many years of being humiliated and pushed aside, he had forgotten how to even speak to her anymore. So instead, he did what was easiest—he change
