Chapter 600

“Where is it?” Scott continued to ask.
Wilfred hesitated before finally responding, “Do you know the Nile organization?”
Scott’s expression tightened. “Isn’t that a terrorist organization? It was supposed to have been eradicated years ago. How could…”
“It wasn’t,” Wilfred said, his eyes darkening. “I was one of them.”
Scott fell silent, recalling the time Nina was kidnapped. He looked at Wilfred again. “Is Nina being targeted by this organization?” Wilfred looked down. “I don’t think so.”
“Nash and Miranda’s scandal, could it be that he…” Scott had a terrifying thought that seemed to make sense.
“She might not have the antidote,” Wilfred said. “But right now, it’s our only lead. Without her, finding the antidote would be nearly impossible.” Scott clenched his fists, the concern for Nina evident.
They were all worried about her, each in their own way.
“I understand,” Scott said. “I’ll find a way.”
Wilfred cautioned him, “Do what you can, but be careful.”
Just then, Nina came out with her bag. Seeing them deep in conversation, she smiled. “What are you two talking about?”
Both men looked at her.
“Is something wrong?” Nina asked, noticing their serious expressions. “Why do you both look so worried?”
Wilfred quickly regained his composure, smiling. “What do you want to eat tonight?”
Nina studied his face. “You look so pale lately, almost like you’ve lost all your blood. We should get you something nourishing. How about I treat you both to dinner?” Scott forced a smile. “Sure.”
Nina, feeling generous, took them to an upscale restaurant.
“By the way, I’m not just working at the TV station now. I’ve also invested in producing a TV drama,” she said while looking at the menu, unaware of the tension on their faces. “My career is expanding, and so are the pressures. But I won’t give up easily. I need to work harder. Let’s see, grilled salmon, beef liver, lentil soup, quinoa and black bean bowl…”
She glanced at Wilfred. “You need to improve your blood health.”
Wilfred’s eyes softened, a smile appearing naturally as he looked at her.
“And this one,” Nina continued, looking at Scott. “Your favorite.”
She made sure to treat everyone fairly.
Scott asked, “You’re investing in a TV drama? Do you need more funds?”
“No, I’m fine,” Nina replied. “I’ve saved some money. Spending it all might leave me broke, but I’m determined to work hard. Besides, I have to support myself and the baby.”
“Don’t worry, you have me,” Scott said earnestly.
Nina looked at Scott appreciatively but she was determined to rely on her own efforts.
As the waiter brought the dishes, she said, “Let’s eat, I’m starving!”
Nina ate heartily, determined to be well-fed and ready for another day of hard work.
Scott habitually put food on her plate. “Eat slowly. No one’s going to take it from you. Is work very tiring? Do you even have time to eat?”
“No, I’m pregnant and have a big appetite!” Nina said between bites. “Don’t worry about me. I feel great and more purposeful than ever!”
This was her truth. She used to live for Nash, but now she was living for herself. She was full of energy and determination. However, Scott still felt a pang of heartache for her.
Wilfred understood her well and would always support her decisions. He remained silent, eating slowly and steadily. Suddenly-
Ding, ding, ding!
An alarm went off in the restaurant.
“Quick, get out! There’s a fire!”
Upon hearing the alarm, the diners rushed towards the exits.
