Chapter 621

As she fell into Nash’s arms, Nina felt her eyes burn with unshed tears.
“Let go of me!” she pushed him away, her eyes locked onto his. “I don’t need your sympathy.”
“Nina…” Nash called her name helplessly.
Nina took a step back, her bitter smile unwavering. “Don’t look at me with pity. We have no ties after the divorce. Take your people and go.”
“I can’t just leave you,” Nash stepped forward. “Things aren’t what you think.”
“Don’t come any closer! That’s enough!” Nina shouted hysterically. “Nash, I hate you! You hid everything from me, left me in the dark, and now Scott has to risk his life to save me. If anything happens to him, I’ll hate you forever!” Nash’s expression grew complicated. “Would you really treat me like this for Scott?”
Nina retorted, “Scott is a hundred times better than you! He’s willing to risk his life for me. Would you do that? You chose someone else when I was at my lowest!”
“Is that how you see me?” Nash’s voice was tinged with sorrow.
Nina sneered. “How else should I see you? Go be with Miranda. You can never be a good person to me!
“Nash, we’re over!” she declared, stepping back further and further, until she turned and walked away.
This time, she did not linger in the rain, disappearing from Nash’s sight.
Nash stood rooted to the spot, unable to move. Nina’s words echoed in his mind, each one piercing his heart.
Her mind was consumed with Scott. Ever since Scott began his quest to find her cure, her heart had grown closer to his.
And what did that leave him?
“Captain!”
Seeing Nash standing alone in the rain, motionless like a soulless machine, his team grew worried.
“The rain’s getting heavy. Let’s get to the car,” James said, holding an umbrella over Nash’s head.
Nash’s eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were clenched tightly. Despite his suppressed emotions, he remained silent. He had arrived at the event looking glamorous and radiant, but no one knew what he was truly going through. The car slowly left the area. Nina walked step by step towards home, her eyes growing redder with each step, tears falling more frequently. Eventually, she stopped, unable to completely steel her heart. She turned back to look at the departing car. Perhaps this was for the best.
She would not be a burden to anyone anymore. She did not want to drag anyone else down.
Nina looked up, wiping away her tears. The sky was gray and overcast, as if it were crying with her. She forced a bleak smile and disappeared around the lonely corner.

“Captain, since Ma’am already knows, maybe it’s better to tell her the truth. It’s better than these misunderstandings,” James suggested.
Felix added, “This is too heartbreaking. Even TV dramas aren’t this tragic. If she knew you were seeking a cure for her, she’d definitely be grateful.”
They both tried to persuade Nash. If things continued like this, it would only create more rifts in their relationship.
Nash, looking disheveled, had gone from being impeccably dressed at the banquet to a drenched mess.
With James and Felix talking in his ears, urging him to explain things to Nina and reconcile, he finally spoke in a subdued tone, “How’s the cure coming? Do we have any other options?” His question left them at a loss for words.
