Chapter 543

Seeing that Nina had not come out for a long time, Julia went into the study.
“Nina, what are you looking for?” Julia asked from the doorway, seeing Nina buried in her search.
Nina looked up. “Mom, I remember Dad loved collecting newspapers. How come I can’t find them?”
Zion had a hobby of collecting newspapers, keeping them in a box from the earliest editions to the most recent. They should have been well-organized, easy to find. But she could not locate them.
At this, Julia’s expression changed slightly. Not wanting Nina to notice, she walked over with a smile. “What newspapers are you looking for? Let me help.”
Nina replied, “It’s from when I was in middle school. There should be some, right?”
Julia grew more nervous. “Which issue specifically? You were in middle school for three years. Do you know the exact issue?”
“When I was kidnapped at school,” Nina said casually. “That was a big event. It should’ve made the papers.”
Julia’s expression shifted again and again. “Why are you looking for that?”
Nina paused, then looked up at her mother. “I’ve been feeling strange lately. I thought looking at those newspapers might help me remember something.”
Julia immediately grabbed Nina’s hand. “There’s no need to find that. Why remember such a painful experience? It’ll only make you unhappy. Besides, your dad’s collection doesn’t include every issue. If you can’t find it, it means it’s not there.”
Nina confirmed, “Are you sure it’s not there?”
Julia replied, “No, it’s not. But tell me, what have you been thinking about lately?”
Nina had searched through everything but could not find the newspapers from that period. It seemed they really were not there. She decided not to waste more energy.
“Not much, just some nightmares,” Nina said. “It’s similar to being kidnapped, just in a different setting.”
Julia’s expression grew more serious. “You haven’t been sleeping well lately, have you?”
Nina chose not to mention the recent dangers to avoid worrying her mother.
“A bit,” Nina admitted. “Maybe it’s just work stress.”
Julia felt sorry for her. “I’ll make some calming tea later. You need a good night’s sleep. Don’t let work wear you out.”
“I will,” Nina said, holding her mother’s hand. “Everything will be fine.”
Julia then asked in concern, “How are things with you and Nash? Are you still considering the divorce?”
This was Nina’s most troubling issue. Should she divorce Nash?
He had risked his life for her and was now lying in the hospital, critically injured. Asking for a divorce seemed heartless. Nash had treated her well, and she was carrying his child.
The best option would be a happy family. She did not want her child to lose their father.
Seeing Nina’s hesitation, Julia understood her thoughts. “It’s up to you. I’m not pressuring you. Just think carefully about your decision so you don’t regret it. Otherwise, you’ll be the one suffering.” Julia was only looking out for her. Nina knew this and felt grateful. She gave her mother a reassuring smile. “I know, Mom. I’ll think it through.”
“Alright, I’ll go make the tea,” Julia said. “Go chat with Yvonne.”
“Thank you, Mom.”
Julia smiled. “Being a mother means doing everything for your child. It’s not tiring at all. My biggest wish is for you to live a peaceful and happy life.”
