Nina frowned but remained silent.Eugene continued, "I won't hurt you. I have some things I need to tell you."Nina looked at him, waiting for him to speak.After a moment of silence, Eugene began, "Mr. Nash was saved by the President and remained in a coma for over three years. The bullet was very close to his heart, and he had multiple fractures and severe injuries all over his body. During his recovery, without the use of anesthesia to avoid side effects, he underwent countless surgeries and therapy sessions. In his moments of pain, he always called your name. He cares about you deeply. Now, he's even willing to defy the President for your sake. The President has a Reset Plan—""Eugene!" Eugene was abruptly interrupted by Nash's angry shout from outside the room. He immediately stood at attention, responding instinctively.Nash's men were trained to react this way. Despite the interruption, Eugene's words echoed in Nina's mind. She had suspected Nash had reasons for his actio
This was the real Nash!No matter how angry Nina had been before, she loved Nash deeply and could not bear to see him die in front of her. Besides, his men had already explained everything to her. He had explained it himself, and she could understand his situation and feel his pain.Nina held Nash even tighter. "Nash, you have your reasons. Honestly, I’m grateful your father saved you."If it weren’t for his father, Nash might have died in that icy river. She would never have seen him again or been able to hold him like this.Most parents would want their children to succeed, and his father was the president. Their positions were different, especially now that she had been exposed as Pharaoh’s daughter and labeled the "daughter of a demon.""Nash, can I take Orion back to Birkham?" Nina decided not to dwell on their issues because thinking about them would only bring pain and suffocation. Orion was her child, and she wanted to take him out of the war zone and give him the best
Dominic could not believe that Nash was actually throwing words at him here right now!He did not need anyone to point fingers at what he was doing.Nash's expression darkened as well. He pulled Nina behind him and said, "If you don't want to listen, then handle your own matters yourself. Don’t drag others into it."This could also be understood as he was stepping down as the Third Prince.And all of this was because of Nash's stance, particularly because of his relationship with Nina.Dominic pulled out his gun. As he cocked the trigger, Nash stood in front of Nina. Nash was ready to face death.Dominic was ruthless, but Nash had recovered and was still his most valued child. He could not just shoot Nash dead."It seems like you’re determined to be with her, even if it kills you. Fine, if she wants to be your wife, then she has to fulfill the duties of a wife. Being the wife of the Third Prince of Salterra isn’t that easy!" Dominic glared at Nina, his words cold and sharp.Nin
Nina was fearless, but Nash held her hand tightly. Although Dominic did not say anything, Nina noticed the cold fury in his eyes, making him look like a demon emerging from hell.As the ruler of a nation, Dominic was not accustomed to anyone speaking to him in such a tone, except during wartime."You’d better pray you don’t end up alone..."Before Dominic could finish his sentence, Nash angrily cut him off. "If you want to kill her, you'll have to kill me first!"Determination flashed in Nash’s eyes, spreading through his entire being in an instant.Dominic did not respond. His lips pressed into a straight line as he stared at Nash for a few seconds before finally turning and leaving.After Dominic left, Nina grasped Nash’s hand. "Maybe you should go back to Salterra and follow your father’s plan...""Nina, I wanted to wait until everything was settled. Because of uncontrollable circumstances, I couldn’t be by your side. But now, at this point, I can’t leave you because... you’r
For now, the only option was to coax him into eating a bit more. Thankfully, Micah’s words seemed to work. However, apart from eating, Orion remained completely silent.Micah watched Orion, hesitating for a moment before dialing Wilfred’s number. Wilfred quickly answered, "Mr. Micah."Micah said, "Nina has been helping a little boy, but he won't speak. I have a feeling something's wrong. Are you in Salterra? If so, come over and take a look at him."Since Nina had come to Salterra as a war journalist, Wilfred had also relocated and opened a small clinic to treat the local residents. Knowing how devoted Wilfred was to Nina, the Pharaoh had even helped Wilfred regain a civilian identity."Yes, I’ll come right away."Although Wilfred was usually busy treating patients at his clinic, he would always make time to see Nina. But Nina was often unavailable, and he did not want to impose, so he always asked her first before visiting. Lately, though, she had not been responding to his mes
Wilfred’s eyes widened in shock. "I was summoned by the military and just got out today."Micah understood immediately. He then signaled with a look, "Just do the DNA test between him and me.""Alright."However, when Wilfred tried to draw Orion’s blood, the boy resisted fiercely, clenching his teeth like a cornered wild animal.Orion quickly fled.Micah tried to calm him down, saying, "We just need to run some tests to make sure you’re not sick. We’re Nina’s friends, and we mean no harm.""You… liar!" Orion struggled to speak.Micah was taken aback. He had not expected Orion to talk but he was determined to get an answer now.Just as he was about to catch Orion, the boy ran straight into someone’s arms. Micah looked closely and realized it was Nina.Standing beside her was a man, about six-foot-three, wearing a black mask. From his sharp, cold eyes, Micah recognized him instantly.He blurted out, "Nash?""It’s me," Nash replied in a low, hoarse voice.He and Nina had rushe
Nina held Orion's hand and led him to find something to eat. She had made up her mind. She would resign from her position as a war journalist and take Orion back to Birkham to live a normal life. When the time came, Orion would go to school, and she would work to support them.Nash noticed that Nina was preoccupied and did not press further.Meanwhile, although Wilfred had come to understand everything, the heavy expression on his face said it all. When Nash was presumed "dead," Wilfred thought he might have a chance. But despite his efforts over the past five years, Nina had never allowed him into her heart.Now that Nash was alive and their child was too, Wilfred knew he had even less of a chance. But all he wanted was for Nina to be happy.Micah, who had always stood by Nina’s side, was ready to support her no matter who she chose."I’m warning you, don’t let your love turn into hatred. If you even think about disrupting Nina and Nash’s relationship, I won’t let you off eas
Nash walked up to Nina, a gentle smile on his lips. "Nina, let’s remarry."Let’s go back to Birkham together."Nash had made up his mind.The idea of reuniting their family was something Nina had only dreamed of, and now that it was slowly becoming a reality.It felt almost unreal to her. She reached out, instinctively touching Nash’s face, feeling the tangible warmth of his skin.Her throat tightened with emotion.At that moment, Orion suddenly collapsed, convulsing in pain, his face twisted in agony."Orion!" Nina screamed.Previously, when Orion had shown signs of distress, Nina’s concern was driven by compassion. But now, it was a mother’s worry for her child.Nina cradled Orion in her arms, her whole body trembling.Wilfred quickly approached. "Nina, let me take him. I’ll treat him!"Reluctantly, Nina released her hold on Orion.But Nash suddenly realized something important. Back when Orion was with his father, he had specific meals at regular intervals, including a s
