Chapter 725

As her father, how could Zion not worry? Even though he did not mention it in front of Julia, he kept it in his heart, fearing Nina might repeat her past mistakes.
Julia’s heart raced with anxiety over this matter. Nina comforted her, soothing her until she finally calmed down and went to rest. Zion remained in the living room, waiting for Nina.
When Julia had gone to the bedroom, Zion sat there, calmly drinking tea, and asked, “What’s been happening lately?”
Hearing her father’s question, Nina walked over. “What is it, Dad?”
“You haven’t been home in a long time,” Zion said. “Your mother already mentioned that you came back with a big belly. Have you even considered how long it’s been since you spent time with us? Have you been too busy, or has something happened? Is your relationship with Nash really stable?”
His concern was primarily for her happiness and safety.
“Dad, you really don’t need to worry. I can handle it.”
Zion pressed on, “Have they come after you again?” Nina paused.
“If they hadn’t, you wouldn’t be asking these questions,” Zion said, his expression growing more serious. “I’ll call the police. Protecting your safety is the most important thing.”
“Why are you just like Mom?” Nina wanted to ease their worries. “I’m perfectly fine. If something had happened, it would’ve shown by now. If something comes up, I can face it. Besides, if I managed to get out safely and survive till now, there must be something about me that makes them hesitate. That means I have value.”
Through her interactions with the organization, she understood she had unique qualities that others didn’t, including Seth’s apprehension towards her.
She suspected that Miranda’s jealousy over Nash’s love might be why she wanted her dead, but others might be after something specific she possessed.
She even suspected that Miranda had tricked her because of this.
“That makes it even worse. I can’t let you take this risk,” Zion insisted on calling the police.
“Dad,” Nina stopped him again, “I am your daughter, but there are many other girls out there who are also someone’s daughters, and they are just as important. I know you love me and don’t want me to get hurt, but for the sake of countless daughters, I have to be brave this time. It’s also for myself. Don’t worry, I will protect myself and not let you and Mom worry anymore.”
Even if they called the police, it wouldn’t help much. They were in the open, while the enemy was hidden. She couldn’t always have police protection. It would be an inconvenience to others and wouldn’t solve the problem.
Moreover, this organization was powerful and evil, doing terrible things and hurting many families. While the country was safe, the organization operated freely abroad. She wanted to dismantle the organization so that every family could live in peace.
Zion gazed at Nina and, in the end, didn’t make the call. He sighed and said, “My daughter has grown up. You’re no longer the little girl who needed to ride on my shoulders.”
“Now I have a family, a career, and soon, a child. Just look forward to having a grandchild,” Nina said with a smile.
She gave Zion hope, finally bringing a smile to his face. It was something to look forward to, the arrival of their first grandchild. They chatted for a while, reminiscing about memories from her childhood that Zion cherished.
Time passed quickly, and Zion reflected on how his precious daughter had grown up so much, signaling that they were aging as well. He had always been her protector, but soon, he might not be able to anymore. He just hoped there would be a strong man to protect his beloved daughter.
A few days later, Nina decided to find Miranda.
“What? Miranda hasn’t been to the company for a few days?”
