Chapter 689

He then gave Nina a kiss on the forehead before leaving with peace of mind.
Nina walked him to the door, watching as James and Felix were still running, drenched in sweat and repeating their chants. She felt a bit sorry for them.
Only after Nash got into the car and called them back did they finish their run. Watching them leave, Nina returned to the house.
She checked her phone first and was pleased to see that ‘Glory’ was gaining more and more popularity each day.
Nelly had complimented her sharp eye for spotting a good script, admitting that she herself didn’t have such foresight.
Meanwhile, Penelope Zhang’s popularity had skyrocketed. The largest billboard in the city center featured her image, and fans had bought subway ads to play her show three times a day. Discussions were buzzing. Penelope had made a spectacular comeback, and her schedule was now packed with endorsements and work. Despite her busy days, she still kept in touch with Nina.
Seeing Penelope’s radiant presence on the screen, Nina felt a sense of pride, as if she had helped elevate Penelope to this peak.
Feeling good, Nina went to her bedroom, opened the closet, and picked out a few pretty dresses to try on in front of the mirror.
Even while pregnant, she wanted to look her best when going out.

Nash headed straight to Wilfred’s lab. The lab was dimly lit as Wilfred was engrossed in his experiments.
When Nash entered, Wilfred paused his work and pulled a vial from his pocket. “I’ve tested this on lab mice. It should neutralize Nina’s poison,” he said.
Hearing this, Nash was overjoyed. “Really? That means Nina can be saved!” His excitement was palpable.
“Thank you, Wilfred!”
Wilfred, equally relieved, responded, “You’re welcome. Hurry and give it to her.”
Wilfred had a lot on his plate. Besides working on the antidote for Nina, he also needed to analyze the unknown toxins in Nash’s blood.
Despite his past affiliations with the organization, his exceptional skills and ability to save lives had made him a valuable and respected asset to the authorities. This gave him a far better treatment than others like Scarlett. “I have more tests to run,” Wilfred added.
“Understood. I won’t keep you,” Nash said, leaving the lab with the antidote for Nina. Just as he was about to deliver it, someone approached.
“Captain, Miranda wants to see you. She says it’s urgent.”
Nash frowned, skeptical of Miranda’s intentions. He handed the vial to James.
“Take this to my wife.”
“Yes, Captain,” James replied, understanding the vial’s importance. “I’ll deliver it to her personally.”
Nash then went to see Miranda. She was in a holding cell, sitting on the floor with shackled hands. Her hair was disheveled, looking like a madwoman.
Nash stood at the door, looking at her through the barred window with a stern expression.
Miranda looked up, her face lighting up with a smile. She quickly tried to tidy her hair, worried about her appearance. “Nash, you’re here. Did you come to take me out?”
All her hopes rested on Nash, hoping he would rescue her.
However, Nash remained cold and indifferent. “I’m here to hear about the important matter you mentioned, not your delusions.”
