"Miranda!"Her assistant finally arrived, holding an umbrella to shield her from the sun. But Miranda's dress was already dirty."Nina has no manners at all. Let me help you clean it," the assistant quickly knelt down, pulling out tissues to wipe the dress.Miranda glared in the direction Nina had left, her eyes wide with hatred. How dare she act so arrogantly when she was so sick! She would beg for mercy when her illness got worse.Miranda took a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure. "Let's go wait at Nash's villa."From the rearview mirror, Penelope saw Miranda's furious expression and could not help but smirk. "Give her an inch, and she'll take a mile. She's spoiled."Nina did not care about Miranda. Honestly, she did not even want to acknowledge her existence. It was Miranda who kept pushing, always trying to harm her."The weather is nice today. How about we set up a tent and go camping?" Nina suggested, noticing the bright sun."I think that's a great idea. Let's

Miranda's face turned bright red from the slap, stunned into silence."Stop trying to intimidate me with his name. I've wanted to kill him for a long time!" Sawyer snarled. "If you don't want to die, keep your mouth shut, and maybe you'll live."This shut Miranda up completely.Nina's heart pounded, her hands slick with sweat. She was not alone in this. She had a child to think about, so she dared not make any rash moves."I'm surprised you're still alive," Sawyer sneered at Nina. "Looks like Nash has gone to great lengths for you."Nina responded with cold sarcasm, "Nash? What effort? Don't you know he dumped me? I'd love to kill him myself right now!"Sawyer glanced at Miranda again, laughing. "Looks like this woman has some tricks up her sleeve, just like her father!"Nina continued, "I don't understand why you kidnapped me. Even if you have a grudge against Nash, that has nothing to do with me. We have no conflict!""You and I have no conflict," Sawyer admitted, pacing in f

Nina, bound and unable to struggle, had already been injected once and knew her fate. Her fear had diminished. She watched Nash, his tall figure standing out in the crowd. But the light that once shone for her in his eyes was gone.She felt a pang of sadness. He was no longer just Nash to her but Captain York, a man with a mission beyond protecting her. The love she once felt seemed absent, replaced by a sense of duty that did not include her. Her heart ached with an indescribable feeling of loss.Nash hesitated, delaying his decision, which only made Nina see reality more clearly."Hurry up and choose, or they both die!" Sawyer grew impatient, ordering his men to tighten their grip on Nina and Miranda, forcing Nash to make a choice.Nina felt uncomfortable, her body restricted, her breathing labored. Her face turned pale as she struggled to stay conscious.Miranda's eyes filled with tears as she shook her head, pleading silently with Nash. She looked pitiful and in desperate

Nash squinted. He remained silent, but his eyes turned fierce."Hahaha." Sawyer found it amusing that such a righteous man would take a path of no return for a woman. But his gloating was short-lived as Nash kicked him hard in the stomach.Sawyer clutched his aching stomach and decided to forsake fair play. He suddenly reached for a mini pistol at his waist. Nash instinctively dodged.However, Sawyer's true aim wasn't to kill Nash but to inject Miranda with the poison. As he moved quickly toward her, Miranda panicked."Watch out!" Nash shouted, lunging from the other side to tackle Sawyer.Sawyer could not retract the needle in time, and it plunged into Nash's shoulder.Miranda's eyes widened in horror, her body struggling frantically, muffled cries escaping her lips, "Mmm..."But it was too late. Sawyer paused for a moment, then laughed even harder. "Nash, you’re a lovesick fool! Hahaha..."The injection disrupted Nash's nervous system, causing his head to spin and his body to

Scarlett's fingers twitched as she opened her tired eyes and saw Nina's face. She grabbed Nina's hand tightly.Nina noticed and looked at her again. "Scarlett!"Scarlett's weak voice whispered, "So cold..."Nina held her close. "I'll hold you. You won't be cold. You won't be cold.""Am I dying?" Scarlett asked weakly. "I'm sorry. I couldn't find the antidote for you... I... cough, cough...""It’s okay, it’s okay!" Nina said. "Don't talk. The ambulance is here. I'll get you on it, and you'll be fine."Scarlett's eyes started to glaze over. She spoke faintly, "Don't be sad for me. We didn't have much connection. It was all for Wilfred. Living is exhausting. It’s kind of nice that I won’t have to struggle to survive anymore."Her life felt like it should never have started. There was no joy, only constant helplessness. No family, alone, and no one to love her. Living had lost its meaning. "Now you can live well," Nina said, trying to ignite Scarlett's will to survive. "Sawyer is
