Chapter 169

Regardless of his anger, Nash should not joke about his own health. However, Nash couldn’t focus on Quincy’s words because his mind was consumed with Nina’s decision to leave. When did it become her turn to leave him behind?
“Call Nina,” Nash said, his expression icy.
Quincy hesitated, not fully comprehending Nash’s intentions. Their marriage reaching this point was unexpected and bewildering. No wonder they kept it a secret. Quincy used to believe that Nash loved Nina, but now it appeared that his love wasn’t as strong as he had imagined.
Taking out his phone, Quincy said, “Alright, Mr. York.”
He dialed Nina’s number. Coincidentally, Nina happened to be at home with her parents at that moment.
Zion insisted on being discharged from the hospital even though the doctor said his fracture wasn’t severe. They agreed to let him leave, but there was a lingering silence among them. They avoided discussing the incident, even though their faces didn’t show much happiness.
Lily and Sue were both called to the police station on charges of defamation and disturbing public order. The evidence against them was conclusive, and they would have to face legal consequences. The police asked Nina if she wanted to press charges.
She wanted to deal with her parents first before going to the police station. As soon as she got home, she received a phone call. Thinking it might be from the police station, she told Julia, “Mom, I’ll take this call.”
“Okay,” Julia thought that since Nina and Nash were getting divorced, it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to stay at the York residence to avoid gossip. She said, “Nina, I’ll tidy up your room. You can stay at home for now.”
Nina nodded and stepped out, quickly answering the call, “Hello.”
“Nina, it’s Quincy here.”
Quincy spoke, suddenly unsure of what to say, his gaze shifting to Nash, not knowing his instructions. Since it wasn’t a call from the police station, Nina asked, “What’s wrong, Quincy?”
She thought Quincy had some questions. Nash remained expressionless, calmly stating, “Tell Nina that my clothes are stained with blood and it’s uncomfortable. I need to change into a new set.”
Quincy immediately relayed the message, saying, “Mr. York said his clothes are covered in blood and it’s uncomfortable. He needs a new set.”
This statement momentarily surprised Nina. Why did Nash want to change clothes and involve her? Nina pursed her lips and said, “He wants to change clothes. Can’t you help him with that?” Quincy glanced at Nash. Indeed, why would Nash need Nina’s help to change clothes? Quincy covered the receiver and said, “Mr. York, Nina says you can ask me for the new clothes.”
Nash’s expression darkened, his tone cold again, “There are plenty of clothes at home. Let her fetch them.”
“Nina, Mr. York says there are plenty of clothes at home. He suggests you fetch them,” Quincy relayed.
“You could go yourself?” Nina couldn’t understand. “I’m at home right now and I’m busy.”
“Mr. York, Nina says she’s busy,” Quincy didn’t want to trouble Nina further. “Mr. York, should I go and get the clothes for you?”
But Nash said, “You wouldn’t know where they are.” After a pause, he added, “Tell Nina, it’s getting cold, I want the white checkered sweater. Only she knows where it is.”
Quincy relayed the message again. Nina stood by the window, watching the maple leaves fall outside. The weather was getting cooler, and it was indeed time to bring out the winter clothes. She added, “The clothes are stored in the walk-in closet on the left side. The helper can find them with a little searching.”
