"You..." James was at a loss for words. His good intentions were completely misunderstood, and no matter what he said, it would be wrong in her eyes. He felt a bit aggrieved, never having dealt with such a difficult woman before.Scarlett, not wanting to argue further, turned to Felix and asked, "You said I could see Nina. I'm injured and can't escape even if I wanted to. Even if I'm guilty, I should be allowed to visit her until the charges are official. I've cooperated with your investigation. You could at least grant me this one request."Felix nodded in agreement and said to James, "Let's cut her some slack. Even Nash hasn't objected. We should show some humanity."Reluctantly, James agreed. "Fine."Scarlett calmed down, realizing they were willing to cooperate. Although she left the organization, she did not have many people in this world that she truly cared about. The only ones she worried for and valued were those few people.She would not run away. Unless pushed to th
Nash looked at Scarlett and asked calmly, "What kind of fate do you think awaits you?"Scarlett gave a bitter smile. "I don't know if I'll die or end up in prison. I've accepted my fate since I'm not exactly a good person.""What if there's a chance for you to atone for your actions?"Scarlett looked up with a glimmer of hope. "Is that really possible?"Nash told her, "Anything that benefits the country can be considered atonement."Scarlett's eyes filled with a mix of hope and doubt. "But what use could I be? Other than fighting and doing bad things, I have no other skills."Nash reassured her, "You have value. There are still many people waiting for you to help them. Focus on recovering first."Scarlett looked at Nash, feeling a surge of hope. His words were like a ray of light, showing her that her life had value and purpose. She could still make a positive impact.It wasn't as dark as she had imagined. This gave her a newfound confidence and excitement. She had always hoped
Sawyer laughed upon hearing Nash's words and said, "You seem surprisingly normal. I guess you got the antidote from Seth? Wait, that's impossible. Seth couldn't have developed a real antidote."His eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Nash, puzzled. "Haven't you noticed any physical changes?"Bang!Nash slammed his hands onto the table, creating a loud noise, and glared at Sawyer with cold, sharp eyes. "Say something useful!"Sawyer, noticing Nash's bloodshot eyes, smirked. "You didn't get the antidote."The veins on Nash's arms bulged, and his joints cracked as he clenched his fists in frustration.Recognizing the tension, Sawyer decided to cooperate. "Pharaoh never shows his true face. Neither Seth nor I have seen it. Those who have probably aren't alive anymore. As for Seth and I turning against each other... that's not really accurate. It was all about our own interests. He wanted a piece of my pie, so I threatened him. When we couldn't come to an agreement, I ended up as a prison
This directly impacted the reputation here. The warden's position was now at risk."Captain York, this was my oversight..."Nash glared at the prison guard, unable to contain his rage. His eyes bloodshot, he kicked the guard with full force. The guard was sent sprawling to the ground, coughing violently as two of his ribs cracked.But Nash's anger wasn't appeased. He yanked the guard up from the ground, his face twisted with fury. "Are you one of their men?""My mission is complete."The guard smiled, seemingly brainwashed, viewing his mission as a sacred duty. Completing it meant a perfect end to his life."Was it Seth or Pharaoh? What are they trying to hide?" Nash demanded harshly."I don't know," the guard replied. "My mission was just to kill him!"Such a response only fueled Nash's fury. His anger surged like a flood, and he punched the guard hard, twice, leaving his face bruised and bleeding.Seeing the blood, Nash seemed to lose control, throwing the guard to the groun
Nash said, "Any bit of information, no matter how small, needs to be reported to me immediately!""Understood, Captain."Nash was anxious, and his team shared his urgency. With Sawyer dead, he could not dwell on him any longer and had to find another way.---When Nina woke up, her body felt fine, and she realized she was in a hospital room. She recalled everything that had happened. She had a fleeting relief of thinking she had the cure, only to find out it was false hope. She had expected this outcome. Pharaoh's poison was not something that could be easily countered.Her head throbbed slightly, a lingering effect of the poison."Nina."She looked up and saw Nelly, Penelope, and Yvonne. Surprised but smiling, she greeted them, "What are you doing here?""We tried calling you, but you didn't answer. We were worried. Then Nash told us you were in the hospital, so we came to see you. Are you okay?" Yvonne said.Yvonne knew Nina best. When Nina did not answer her phone, sh
When the topic came up, Nelly immediately rejected it, "Forget it, dating is too much trouble."She had never dated before. It was just too complicated.She had attended an all-girls school from a young age and had not had much interaction with men. Consequently, she did not even think about it.In fact, she was somewhat averse to men."This pacifier is so cute," Nina said, holding the gift they had given her. "Thank you all so much, you have been so thoughtful for the baby.""Don’t mention it! We’re the baby's godmothers, after all!"Nina smiled and said, "Then my child is really something special. One godmother is a popular star, another is a director and screenwriter, and there's also an artist. With you all as godmothers, my child won’t have to struggle at all.""Having a few amazing godmothers is great, but wouldn’t having a great dad be even better?" Yvonne joked.Nina thought for a moment and then disagreed, "We need to be careful. We can’t spoil him. If he turns out bad
Nina looked at him in surprise, not expecting him to have such thoughts. But she found herself agreeing with him."You’re certainly not going easy on our son," Nina said with a smile.Nash wrapped his arm around her waist, his lips curving into a smile. "Boys need to grow up and get married. If they have too many bad habits and don’t know how to be considerate, which girl would dare marry them? And even if they did, they’d end up suffering."Nina had something to say about that.The others in the room were perceptive enough to give them space and among themselves about the future. They quietly left the room, closing the door behind them.Nina turned to Nash, pointing at his chest with a hint of resentment in her voice. "You seem to have this realization now, but why didn’t you think this way when you married me? You were so harsh on me then. Hearing this from you is just hard to believe."Nash hugged her apologetically and nuzzled her cheek. "I was wrong before. It’s precisely be
She hugged Nina tightly. Nina gently stroked her back, comforting her.They were still like they used to be, sharing everything as best friends. Over the years, their friendship had deepened into something more like family.Nina did not want to stay cooped up in the hospital room all day, knowing she might have to spend a lot of time there in the future. So, she and Yvonne went out for a walk."Nina?" As they walked and chatted, a girl suddenly approached them, looking unsure but calling Nina’s name.Nina turned around and was a bit surprised by who was calling her. When she saw the girl, she had a vague recollection but could not remember her name clearly. She hesitated until the girl said, "Nina, don’t you recognize me? Have I changed that much? I sat next to you in class. We used to chat a lot during breaks. Have you forgotten?"Nina smiled politely. "I’m sorry, you seem familiar, but I can’t recall your name right away.""It’s me, Lucy Lane! Do you remember now? I’m so ha
