Chapter 473
“It’s me!” Nash grabbed her hands.
Nina looked up and saw Nash standing in front of her. “What are you doing here?”
Nash’s expression was dark. “I should be asking you that. What are you doing here?”
Nina still had the medical records in her pocket and could not let Nash find out. If he knew, he might destroy them. She quickly responded, “I came to see a friend.” “Do you think I’ll believe that?” Nash retorted.
“What else would I be doing here?” Nina countered.
“You went to the fourth floor,” Nash said coldly. “Do you know the consequences of entering a stranger’s territory?”
Nina replied, “But I came out just fine!”
Seeing her lack of concern, Nash’s brows furrowed. “Nina, if something had happened, you could have lost your life. Do you realize how serious this is?”
Nina studied Nash, wondering why he was here. Was it for the same reason as her?
She could not be sure. Maybe their purposes were different. Regardless, she had what she came for.
She softened her tone. “I understand. I won’t recklessly enter someone else’s place again.”
Nash’s expression softened a bit. “I’ll take you back.”
He had also been following Miranda. Nina simply got there first, making it difficult for him to act. Miranda’s situation was complex, and it was unclear if she was connected to a certain case. He also did not want to alert the prey prematurely.
He had calculated that if Nina did not come out within twenty minutes, he would go in to ensure she was safe. To his surprise, she had emerged in just a few minutes. For now, Nash put Miranda aside. As long as Nina was okay, that was all that mattered.
Nash did not ask her more questions.
Nina suggested, “Let’s go back to the hospital. Aunt Zoe might be awake by now.”
“Okay,” Nash agreed without hesitation.
Miranda returned to the York residence.
Sally was pacing anxiously. Seeing Miranda return, she sighed in relief. “Miranda, where did you go? You’re not well. Don’t wander around. I worry about your safety.”
“Why are your clothes so wet?” Sally touched her damp shoulder. “Did you get caught in the rain? Let me see if you’re okay.”
She touched her forehead.
Miranda’s eyes focused on Sally. “Sally.”
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Sally asked, concerned.
Miranda looked at her but clenched her fists tightly. “Why are you so kind to me now? And why didn’t you treat me better earlier?” Sally’s expression stiffened. “What happened?”
Miranda rested her head on Sally’s shoulder, her gaze cold. “I got caught in the rain because I didn’t bring an umbrella.”
“Go change your clothes quickly. I’ll make you some tea,” Sally said.
Miranda nodded and went upstairs.
Watching her leave, Sally’s eyes filled with pain. She felt deeply indebted to Miranda. She wanted to make amends but did not know where to start. If not for her past mistake, she would not have to spend so much time now trying to make up for it.
Sally wiped her tears.
At that moment, William came back from outside. She turned to see William, immediately perking up. “You actually came back.”
William coldly responded, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve done. You’ll have to deal with the consequences of your own actions.”
