Chapter 656

After speaking, Scarlett turned to leave.
Nina grabbed her hand. “What about you?”
Scarlett replied, “I can protect myself. I need to help them!” She gave Nina a reassuring look.
Nina hid in a small corner, a door shielding her in the darkness. Fear crept in, but she had to protect herself and her child, no matter the terror she felt.
She hugged herself tightly, closed her eyes, and tried to endure. However, the gunfire outside kept her on edge, breaking out in a cold sweat.
With her eyes shut, a memory suddenly flooded her mind.
A thin girl with yellow hair, dressed in tattered clothes, smiled. Her face was dirty as she said, “Why don’t you talk? There aren’t many living people here. It’s so boring if you stay silent.” “Aren’t you afraid?”
“Not anymore,” the girl replied. “I’ve been here since I was little. I’ve seen too many dead people. I’m not scared anymore. I don’t even know when it will be my turn.”
“You won’t die! You can’t die!”
“It’s okay,” the girl smiled. “My parents abandoned me. My life should have ended long ago!
“I’m older than you, so from now on, I’m your big sister. It’s better than having no family. By the way, have you seen a boy who always soaks in strange potions? He’s my little brother!”
The scene shifted to a group of people beating the girl. She was pressed into the mud, a bun shoved in her mouth, but she protected two buns under her body.
“No, I won’t give it up!” The girl, bleeding from the mouth, crawled out of the crowd and handed the dirty buns to Nina. “Quick, eat it. You need to eat to stay alive, or it will be taken away soon. Hurry! “You can hit me. I’m tough. You can’t hit her!”
The girl with yellow hair often fought with groups of boys for the scarce food. She was frequently injured but always resilient.
“Why are you so good to me?”
“Because we are both girls! My life is worthless, but you have such nice skin. You must be someone’s precious daughter. You can’t endure this.”
“Then I will protect you too!”
“You can’t fight them, but I can!”
“Do you think we can get out?”
“I don’t know. But if I do get out, I want to live clean and beautiful, like a real girl.”
Outside, Nash was fighting with Sawyer.
Sawyer’s goal was clear. Injecting Miranda with the poison was his ultimate objective, to ensure Nash would suffer for a lifetime. He saw Nash’s eagerness to save Miranda and recognized her as his weak point. But Nash didn’t give him the chance.
Miranda watched Nash approach, her eyes filled with hope, wishing he would defeat Sawyer and end this nightmare. It confirmed for her that Nash’s love was for her.
Sawyer was a skilled fighter and held his ground against Nash for a long time. He taunted, “It seems I was right. Miranda is your weak spot!”
Nash, emotionless, replied, “You have no way out. Surrender while you still can!”
“You’ve said that several times now. Do you think it’s still possible at this point?” Sawyer kept laughing.
“I didn’t expect you to team up with Seth. Have you really accepted him as your father-in-law? If I think about it more deeply, could it be that you might even be planning to betray your own side?”
