It seemed she hadn't expected to see them there, but quickly regained her composure. Melody smiled and greeted, "Grandpa George, my mother and I have come to see you.""Hi George," Melody's mother called out.Nina pondered for a moment. George, whom Nash held in such high regard, seemed familiar to the Wallace family. There was a sense of acquaintance there.George smiled and said, "Why have you all come?""You're ill, so of course we all wanted to come see you," Melody replied warmly, placing the flowers in a vase and then giving George a hug. "But Grandpa George, there are other guests here."George said, "Nash is the grandson of my comrade. He is like my own grandson.""I've met him," Melody confidently turned to Nash. "Hello, Mr. York, it's nice to see you again."George asked, "But weren't you abroad for a long time? I haven't heard that you knew Nash.""Just a few days ago, Dad took me to meet him, and we even had dinner together," Melody didn't hide it. "Grandpa George,
She didn't politely address him as "Mr. York," but rather by his name. She stood in his way, blocking his path, and Nash asked coldly, "Miss Wallace, what's the matter?"Melody looked at him, her inherent arrogance evident, still not quite believing, "What you just said, about being married. Is it true?"She had never heard any news of his marriage. She suspected he was deliberately avoiding it, hence her questioning.Nash's expression remained indifferent, "Is there a need to lie?""I've never heard of it, and no one knows who your wife is. I suspect you're making excuses.""It's none of your concern."The more indifferent he became, the more intrigued Melody grew, treating him like prey, desiring to conquer him. She liked those who were unattainable. Her lips formed a slight smile, exuding boldness in both demeanor and approach as she leaned closer, "Married or not, divorce is always an option. It doesn't matter to me."Nina's expression shifted as she listened. Nash had alw
He was remarkably observant, noticing that she experienced stomach pains during her period. This took Nina by surprise. She used to believe that even if she spent her entire life with him, he might never truly understand her preferences or her health condition. If she ever became ill, he might be the last to know.But now, with the passage of time, even if he didn't wish to remember it, he would inevitably remember.Nina blew on the ginger tea, then drank it all in one go. "Rest well," Nash carefully tucked her in.Nina gazed at him and asked, "Where are you going later?""I'll be at home, not going anywhere," Nash replied.Nina would wonder where he would be today, considering he wasn't home a few days ago.There were so many places he could be, but eventually, he would settle somewhere.Nash noticed the disappointment on her face. The next moment, he lay down and slipped under the covers, his hand resting on her abdomen. "Is it still hurting?" Nina's body tensed, staring a
Julia was still preoccupied with Zion's condition when she overheard someone gossiping nearby. Irritated, she remarked, "Lily, you can criticize Zion all you want, but you can't say he doesn't care about Xander! Throughout the years, when has he ever neglected him or failed to clean up his mess? But you can't just turn to him whenever you're in trouble, expecting him to fix everything. What's your own family doing?"In response, Lily Clark sighed, "I'm in a desperate situation now, aren't I? If I had a solution, why would I seek advice from Zion and you guys?"As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes."Mom, don't cry, there's always a solution," her daughter comforted.Julia hadn't cried yet but Lily beat her to it, which was something she couldn't stand. Over the years, their family had been burdened many times, with relatives always coming to them in times of need, but never remembering them in times of prosperity. Out of familial obligation, they never said much. Julia harbor
"Lily, could you be a bit more reasonable? When did I ever try to influence Zion? Look at the state you've reduced him to. What more do you want?" Julia couldn't tolerate her attitude."Fine, then let's get to the point," Lily blurted out, "How was the last two million resolved? Last time, you claimed there was no money, but together, you all found a way. At that time, Xander was scraping every penny, nearly selling his kidney. But in the end, everything was resolved. You said the two million was repaid, so we didn't need to worry."Their smooth repayment of two million had always left them suspicious. They believed their family still had money."Zion, where did you get so much money from? Are Mom and Dad's savings all in your hands? Did you embezzle the money?" Lily asked directly. This was also a sore point for her. She believed that their family took their parents' money without informing them. Surely, they took more than just their fair share.This accusation made Zion cough
Nina inquired, "What's your educational background?"Sue answered, "I graduated from a local university.""We only recruit graduates from prestigious schools. Your credentials don't meet our standards," Nina promptly declined.Sue's demeanor soured, but she plastered on a smile and retorted, "But you're employed there, aren't you? With a cousin like you, the alma mater shouldn't matter."Nina replied icily, "A reputable company adheres to standards. If you're so keen on cutting corners, you'll crumble sooner or later. There won't be any room for you."After being rebuffed repeatedly, Sue grew disgruntled. "Nina, you're just unwilling to lend a hand. That's why you're saying this.""You're well aware of it. If you're always depending on others, you'll be worse off than a beggar when no one lends a hand," Nina's words were cutting."If you won't help me, fine, but why insult me? Mom, look at her!" Sue couldn't bear the humiliation, her eyes turning red with anger.Seeing her daug
Nash stood by the door. He was never someone who could tolerate noise, especially near his father-in-law's sickbed. Upon hearing his arrival, the mother and daughter stopped crying, turning their attention to Nash.Nina looked up, somewhat taken aback to see Nash. She hadn't informed him about this. "Why are you here?" she asked.Nash met her gaze and responded, "The hospital director called me to inform that Dad was sick, so I rushed over from the company.""Dad, Mom," he greeted them first, noticing Zion with a cast on his hand, then inquired, "How is it?"Nina explained, "He had a fracture in his hand bone and needs a few days of rest."Observing the crowded and noisy environment, Nash frowned and remarked, "It's too noisy in here, disturbing Dad's rest. I'll arrange for him to be moved to the VIP ward.""No need for that, I'm not that delicate. Nash, don't trouble yourself," Zion declined.Though not entirely satisfied with Nash, Zion appreciated Nash's concern and couldn't
"Nash."Sue thought it would be wiser to approach Nash rather than Nina. He held more influence in the matter. "Nash, I'll be starting my internship in a month. Could I possibly intern at your company? I'm currently without a place to go temporarily. I just need the internship completion certificate; it won't disrupt your affairs."Lily added, "We're Nina's close relatives. Please assist her so she can secure a good job in the future."Nina furrowed her brows. This seemed like taking advantage of Nash being her husband, attempting to gain from him. It was one thing to benefit from their family before, but now they wanted to benefit from Nash as well.She couldn't help but glance at Nash, concerned that he might form a negative opinion of her family, especially given that it was their first encounter and things were already turning out this way.Moreover, her relationship with Nash wasn't intimate enough for him to be responsible for managing the entire Walker family's affairs. It
