Chapter 431

Nina woke up in the middle of the night. Feeling a weight on her hand, she opened her eyes and saw Nash sleeping soundly beside her, tightly holding her hand.
His hair was disheveled, and his face showed signs of exhaustion, indicating he had not slept well. His usually clean-shaven face now had some stubble, which caught Nina off guard for a moment. Countless emotions surged within her.
After a while, Quincy came over, holding various items in his hand. “Madam, you’re awake,” he whispered softly.
Nina nodded in acknowledgment.
Quincy glanced at the sleeping Nash and continued, “Mr. York stayed by your side all night. I told him to get some rest, but he insisted on staying with you. He only fell asleep in the morning.” Nina felt a lump in her throat and hoarsely asked, “The child…”
Quincy replied, “The child is safe. It was a close call, but luckily the child is fine. Otherwise, it will be over between you and Mr. York. The moment you went into the operating room, Mr. York was very concerned about you, as well as the child in your belly. He was afraid that if anything happened to the child, you would resent him!”
Nina instinctively looked at Nash’s face and asked, “Is that really what he thinks?”
Quincy placed the items on the table and continued, “I wouldn’t deceive you. Mr. York is genuinely worried about you. Even if the child isn’t his or if he has considered terminating the pregnancy, he won’t push you if you’re unwilling. He’s afraid of making mistakes that could irreversibly harm your relationship.”
Nina had many concerns. She did not tell Nash because she feared he would not accept her child. After all, he had warned her from the beginning. Once he became ruthless, she would not stand a chance against him.
Furthermore, if she divorced him with a child in between, what would that count for? It would be better if he did not know at all. She could work hard and support the child on her own.
Until the moment she almost lost her baby, she still could not bring herself to believe in him. He had not given her the unwavering trust she needed. She also feared that Nash would take this opportunity to persuade her to terminate the pregnancy.
Until she woke up and saw him by her bedside, her emotionally numb heart softened slightly again at that moment.
Nina closed her eyes. At this moment, she hated herself for being so soft-hearted. But if she weren’t, she would not have been able to stay by his side for so many years.
Quincy noticed Nina’s distress, her complexion even paler than before, and asked, “Madam, I think you should talk to Mr. York about what’s on your mind. He’s not unreasonable.”
“Can I really?” Nina still had doubts. She was afraid that if she told him, she would have no way out. Logic told her she should not spend too much time on a man.
“You and Mr. York are still not divorced. You’re husband and wife, and should be honest with each other. If Mr. York can’t do that, then I won’t say anything more,” Quincy also wanted to give Nash a chance. Nina moved slightly, and Nash immediately sensed it and woke up.
“Nina!” The first thing he did when he woke up was call her name.
Seeing Nina awake, his dark eyes seemed to ripple. “You’re awake. Are you still in pain?”
Nina looked at him. His eyes were bloodshot, and he remained silent for a long time. “The doctor said you can eat when you wake up,” Nash said, looking at the table, his voice hoarse.
Nina did not answer but asked, “Nash, do you really worry about me?”
