Chapter 702
Nina looked at him in surprise, not expecting him to have such thoughts. But she found herself agreeing with him. “You’re certainly not going easy on our son,” Nina said with a smile.
Nash wrapped his arm around her waist, his lips curving into a smile. “Boys need to grow up and get married. If they have too many bad habits and don’t know how to be considerate, which girl would dare marry them? And even if they did, they’d end up suffering.” Nina had something to say about that.
The others in the room were perceptive enough to give them space and among themselves about the future. They quietly left the room, closing the door behind them.
Nina turned to Nash, pointing at his chest with a hint of resentment in her voice. “You seem to have this realization now, but why didn’t you think this way when you married me? You were so harsh on me then. Hearing this from you is just hard to believe.” Nash hugged her apologetically and nuzzled her cheek. “I was wrong before. It’s precisely because of my past mistakes that I now understand. We can’t let our child follow our old path. Love and marriage both need to be handled well to avoid regrets.” Nina leaned against his shoulder. “So, do you regret it?”
Nash thought for a moment. “I regret not realizing it sooner, but I’m grateful you’re by my side now. That’s my happiest thought.” Reflecting on their journey, Nina realized it hadn’t been easy. Who would have thought Nash would fall in love with her?
Maybe his grandfather saw it coming. He approved of her and tied them together.
But if she hadn’t loved Nash, this marriage wouldn’t have started. Love triumphed over obstacles in the end.
However, she still had some lingering doubts. It seemed almost mystical. If her connection with Nash didn’t start in middle school and he hadn’t saved her, why did they end up at the same university? And why did she see him as her hero? It was truly baffling.
After spending some tender moments together, Nash had to leave again. His work kept him busy, juggling responsibilities with the military and managing his company, busier than ever.
Nina understood him. He had his mission and beliefs, and she supported him. He was still the hero, protecting the people.
Thinking about it this way made Nina feel a sense of awe.
She busied herself with arranging the gifts they had received for the baby, her face glowing with a motherly smile, eagerly anticipating his birth. All the negative thoughts were pushed aside. After a while, Yvonne walked in.
Nina looked at her. “You haven’t left yet? I thought you all had gone.”
“They did,” Yvonne said. “They left because they don’t know about your condition, but I do, so I wanted to ask you.”
She was very worried about Nina. Being pregnant and dealing with illness was tough.
Nina shook her head. “There are no results yet, but we can’t think the worst.”
Yvonne grabbed her hand. “Still no results? They’ve already taken action and caught those people. How can there be nothing? What kind of poison is this that can’t be cured? It’s outrageous!” Yvonne was getting agitated, finding it all too absurd. How could such bad people exist in this day and age?
Nina had initially struggled to accept it too, but in this vast world, there were many things beyond their sight and understanding. “I’m still alive, and I won’t give up.” She smiled gently at Yvonne.
Yvonne gazed at her, at a loss for words. She could only say that Nina had a natural ability to heal others, unintentionally instilling confidence in those around her. Just like before, when she always told Yvonne she had the talent to be an artist. Without that, there would not be the Yvonne of today.
