Nash furrowed his brows, clearly running out of patience. “Is this the important matter you wanted to discuss?”
“No,” Miranda replied softly. “This is my most important matter. Once I’ve said my piece, I’ll get to what’s most important for you.”
Nash did not respond verbally, but his eyes communicated to Miranda that his patience was wearing thin.
She sighed softly, a bitter smile on her lips. “When have I ever lied to you? Just listen to me, and you’ll understand.”
Miranda’s feelings for Nash were genuine. She might have deceived many people and committed countless unscrupulous acts, but Nash was the one person she had always treated sincerely.
“In your mind, you think I rescued you from the organization, but it was you who saved me,” Miranda began. “I took advantage of your kindness, your sense of duty as a soldier, trying to erase my own dark past. But no man had ever treated me the way you did. The first thing you did when you woke up was ask for me. ‘Where is Miranda?’ you said. When I stood in front of you, your gentle eyes looked at me, and I knew I had fallen for you.
You never disappointed me. You visited me often, believed everything I said, and even the smallest injury I had, you would wipe my tears. You gave me a new life, made me feel like I should be a better person. All these years, you’ve always been the most special to me. Whatever I wanted, you gave me. I truly believed you loved me. But then Nina came into your life, became your wife, and everything changed.
I should never have gone abroad. If I hadn’t, you would have been mine. You wouldn’t have married her. But I had no choice. If I didn’t leave, they would have come for me, and my true identity would have been exposed. And for my health, I had to go abroad to find a doctor who could treat me.”
Nash listened to her ramble, then calmly said, “Do you know why I treated you well?”
Miranda, eyes brimming with tears, looked up. “Because I risked my life to get you out of that organization. That was the start of our fate.”
“I’ve known since I was a child that I’m not related to the York family by blood,” Nash said.
Miranda froze.
Nash continued, “And I know you’re the real child of the York family.”
Miranda’s eyes widened in shock. “When did you find out?”
Nash replied, “When you left the organization and came to the York family, I knew.”
“That early?” Miranda couldn’t believe it. How could he have known so early?
“I treated you well because I knew the York family owed you, and Grandpa owed you. Even though your parents were neglectful, Grandpa took care of everything for you, including the expenses when you were abroad. I was just carrying out his wishes,” Nash explained.
“No way!” Miranda shouted, refusing to believe it. “How could he care about me? He wouldn’t even let me marry you. There’s no way he cared about me!”
She remembered his coldness. He never approved of her getting close to Nash. At the time, she did not know he was her grandfather. It was only because she liked Nash that she treated them with respect.
But when she found out she was the real child of the York family, all she felt was hatred. Her parents did not love her, and that was why she ended up with Seth.
They all wronged her!
They had wronged her for a lifetime!
