Chapter 622

While keeping Miranda in check, they also had to search for a cure.
“It’s not like what Ma’am said. It’s not just Scott risking himself for her. You are too…” James felt a deep sense of injustice.
Nina could not see all that Nash was doing for her. It felt so unfair.
Mentioning this, Nash’s brows furrowed slightly. “I didn’t expect Scott to find out.”
He certainly did not expect him to venture into such a dangerous place alone.
“We’ll find another way,” Felix said. “Right now, Ma’am needs reassurance.”
Nash gave a bitter smile. “Didn’t you see? She hates me now. Going back will only make her more upset.”
He took off his soaked jacket and headed upstairs to change clothes.
James and Felix followed, sensing his sadness and frustration. They had rarely seen him this dejected. Even a strong man could be vulnerable in matters of the heart.
“Solving the core issue is what matters most,” Nash said softly. Despite Nina’s anger and resentment, he knew what he wanted. He needed to find the cure first.
The sound of an engine outside caught their attention. Miranda drove her car inside. After the event, she had rushed over. Clad in high heels, she walked in and immediately saw the group, all still drenched.
Concern flickered across Miranda’s face. “Nash, how did you get soaked? You haven’t even changed clothes. What were you all thinking, letting him get caught in the rain? What if he catches a cold?”
She walked over, fussing over Nash. James and Felix watched, only able to roll their eyes. Nash said nothing, his gaze fixed on Miranda. When she reached for a towel to dry him, he grabbed her hand, his eyes cold. “When will you have the cure?” he asked.
Miranda had heard this question countless times, each one more irritating than the last. She forced a smile. “I told you, we’ll have it on our wedding day. Why are you in such a rush?”
“When are we getting married?” Nash pressed.
Miranda pondered for a moment. “After I finish filming this drama. It’s important to me. Then I can marry you in style!”
Nash’s lips tightened, his eyes growing colder. “Can Nina hold out that long?”
“I’ll make sure she does!” Miranda said confidently. “It’s just a matter of time. Don’t worry, I won’t let her die.”
“Do you really have the cure?” Nash asked, skeptical.
“Of course,” Miranda replied with conviction. “I’ve gone to great lengths for you.”
Nash, perhaps overwhelmed by his pent-up frustration, grabbed Miranda by the neck with one hand, his eyes fierce. “You better not be lying. If you don’t deliver, I’ll make you pay with your life!” Pain shot through Miranda’s neck, and her face twisted in agony. She clutched Nash’s arm, struggling to speak. “Without me… she won’t survive!”
Nash released her, unable to contain his anger.
Miranda coughed violently, looking up at Nash, who now stared at her without a trace of compassion.
In that moment, fear gripped her heart.
On the surface, she possessed Nash, but he seemed more distant than ever. His thoughts were more occupied with Nina.
Seeing him drenched, Miranda asked, “Did you go to see Nina?”
