Chapter 722

“And besides, he doesn’t come home, he let Miranda out, and I’m angry. I vent my anger, which is within reason, right? But he always leaves. Even when he came to find me, he agreed to let me go back to my parents’ house. Doesn’t that mean he’s giving up?” Nina’s eyes reddened, on the verge of tears. She held them back, not wanting anyone else to see her cry. Crying alone in a corner was enough.
Yvonne did not fully understand. “Go back for a few days and see what he says later. Maybe he’s just respecting your decision, afraid you’d resent him if he begged you to stay. Men and women think differently. But as long as there’s love, these issues can be worked out.” “Yeah, nothing is an issue,” Nina said with a bitter smile. “But he needs to compromise for me just once.”
“Don’t think about it anymore. Let’s go home, get some sleep, and you’ll feel better tomorrow,” Yvonne tried to comfort her.
Nina fell silent, swallowing her sadness and accepting the reality. Just like when they first talked about divorce, she had to go through this again.
“Captain, she’s gone,” one of the guards reported to Nash.
Nash stood still for a long time, as if he had turned to stone, staring in the direction Nina had left.
Felix, unable to bear seeing Nash so despondent, decided to speak up. “Captain, if you can’t let her go, why not say a few kind words and persuade her? She would understand and come back with you. This way, neither of you will suffer. It’s painful to see this outcome.” It wasn’t just Nash’s heart that ached. Those who watched wished they could intervene and force them to stay together. If Felix were in Nash’s position, he would fight to keep Nina no matter what.
But Nash wasn’t just thinking about the present. He worried about how long he could be there for her.
Nash got into the car, his voice calm but hollow. “Even if she comes home with me, how long can I stay with her? What if one day I hurt her? She’s pregnant. If something happens, she’ll hate me forever. I’m not afraid of her hating me. I’m afraid of hurting her and not being the hero she thinks I am.”
He had too many concerns. He wanted to maintain some dignity in her eyes.
“Captain, there has to be a way. We’ll find a solution,” Felix tried to comfort him, knowing how tough things were for Nash.
They were overwhelmed, searching for a cure while handling other pressing matters. It was nearly impossible to manage everything.
Nash thought about the poison. His situation was different from Nina’s. It wouldn’t kill him, but it would make him wish he were dead.
Wilfred had discussed this with him. During his research for the antidote, it became clear that they could only save one person. Nash had no hesitation in choosing Nina. Wilfred would have made the same choice, but he had still talked it over with Nash. Nash had instructed Wilfred to focus entirely on Nina. As long as he was alive, there was hope.
Nina returned home, bringing her disappointment with her but determined not to let her parents know. She had chosen this path and had told them from the beginning. If she showed regret or unhappiness, they would worry.
Julia saw her and exclaimed, “Your belly is so big now. It looks like you’re about to give birth. You little rascal, you didn’t even tell us you were pregnant. Are we the last to know?”
