Chapter 56
After he left, there were only desperate cries inside.
Nina had a long dream where a demon was chasing her. She wanted to run but couldn’t move.
Overwhelming fear enveloped her, making it hard to breathe, as if she was about to die. She sobbed, tears still streaming down her face.
Nash saw this and wiped the tears from her eyes. Nina had a high fever. Taylor cried on the side. She had wanted to call for help but encountered Nash at the door. Luckily, he arrived in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
She cried, “Mr. York, it’s all my fault. I didn’t take care of Nina properly. She has a fever. Let’s take her to the hospital.” was very ;.
At this moment, Nash like a block of ice, devoid of any compassion. He simply said, “No need, Quincy, take her home!”
With that, Nash carried Nina into the car and left.
Meanwhile, Taylor continued to blame herself incessantly, crying uncontrollably. Quincy advised, “Stop crying, let’s go home. With Mr. York around, Nina will be fine.”
Taylor’s legs trembled as she cried out, “Nina was in trouble earlier and Mr. York seemed like a different person, like he’s ready to kill someone. I’m really scared.”
As for their relationship, Quincy couldn’t say much.
In the past, he might have had many doubts, but not anymore.
Quincy advised Taylor, “It’s fine now, but we need to be
careful in the future. Nina is a special person to Mr. York. None of us can afford to provoke him!”
Although Taylor didn’t understand fully, she nodded earnestly.
In the dimly lit bedroom, Nina woke up from a nightmare. “Don’t!” she exclaimed.
Still groggy, she opened her eyes wide, unable to see clearly what was in front of her, and
instinctively pushed away anyone trying to touch her. “Go away!”
“It’s me, Nina,” Nash said in a low voice.
Nina looked at Nash and then glanced around her environment, still unable to stop trembling. Her face was still swollen, and Nash had just been applying ice to her face. “Does it hurt? I’ll apply some ointment for you later,” he said.
With red-rimmed eyes, Nina kept her head down, fingers tightly gripping herself.
Nash sat beside her, noticing her distance, and wrapped his arms around her waist. Nina recoiled, saying, “Don’t touch me!”
She realized her words were too agitated, so she turned away, calming herself down, unwilling to face him. “I want to take a bath,” she said.
Nash replied, “You’ve already bathed.”
“I want to take another one” Nina said, her voice slightly heavier as she nervously picked at herself.
Seeing her unstable emotions, Nash said, “Okay, I’ll fill the tub for you.”
He walked into the bathroom, filled the bathtub with water, checked the temperature, and then came out to call Nina.
Nina entered, saying, “You can leave.”
Worried about her, Nash asked, “Are you sure you want to be alone?”
“I’m fine,” Nina replied.
Nash looked at her several times, noticing nothing unusual, and then left.
Once Nash was gone, Nina dropped all pretense, her face pale, eyes reddened, feeling dirty all over. She sat in the bathtub, turned on the shower again, and squeezed out some body wash to vigorously scrub herself.
Feeling it wasn’t enough, she scrubbed harder,
wanting to wash away the filth from her body. Her skin turned red from the force, and she even drew blood, feeling no pain.
The thought of being touched by that disgusting man made her feel uncomfortable all over.
Nash had been waiting outside, checking the time. Ten minutes later, he knocked on the door. “Nina, are you done?” he asked.
There was no response.
Sensing something was wrong, Nash furrowed his brows and said sternly, “I’m coming in.”
