From the beginning, Miranda had already lost in matters of love. She was abandoned by her parents and given to Seth. Despite this, she foolishly chose to believe in love one more time, mainly because Nash had given her such a sweet dream. She thought she could be loved, but she was wrong. Nash still did not love her.Tears silently fell from Miranda’s eyes. She couldn't help but ask, "You risked your life for me, and that was all fake? You played this role so well that you even risked your own life." Normally, no one would risk their life in such a way. Even her father had been deceived, thinking Nash was on their side because his life was at stake.Nash glanced at Nina, as if not wanting her to know everything, and ordered, "Take her away." Miranda started laughing, her tears flowing more freely. Her gaze on Nash held no hatred because she truly loved him.When she left the organization, it was indeed to use Nash to escape her identity. But back then, Nash was genuinely k
He did not dare take the risk. Even if he gambled with Miranda's life, he feared the other side would not buy it!Hearing his words, Nina felt a twinge of heartache. The long period of tension between them had left her to face everything on her own. It was too tough. Despite putting on a brave front, being in love made her vulnerable. Now, as she listened to him, her eyes welled up with tears. Tears started to fall unintentionally. Her grief and sorrow poured out like a waterfall. Nash saw her trembling shoulders and knew she was hurting. He immediately went over and pulled her into his arms. "I'm sorry," he whispered softly. "I'm so sorry for everything you've been through."He knew how tough it had been for her. She was pregnant without her husband by her side and he had put her through so much. He felt immense guilt. But compared to her life, this was the only way he could protect her. Love could be repaid but a life was irreplaceable.Nina, leaning against his chest,
Wilfred's expression turned serious. "What's going on?"He thought Nash had gotten the antidote. If Nash could wake up after being poisoned, it meant Seth had given him the antidote. How could he still have symptoms?"I'm not sure," Nash replied. He thought he would be fine, but a few hours later, his body had a strong reaction. "Maybe Seth didn't give me the real antidote."Seth was a cunning person. It was possible he had a backup plan.Wilfred helped Nash to a nearby seat, increasing his concerns. "The poison affecting you is different from what Nina has."Based on Nash's symptoms, Wilfred speculated that the poison's components were different from Nina's. Nash could not describe his pain, but his body felt obstructed. The poison might not have spread throughout his body, or it might not be a fatal poison.The symptoms came and went. Nash thought he could endure it but was curious about his fate. "If there's no antidote, what will happen to me?"Wilfred's serious expression
"Probably, but I feel like I've caused you trouble.""Don't say that. We're friends, and this isn't your fault. You've helped me with so much. If I didn't say such polite things, neither should you. Are we not friends?" Penelope laughed and added, "By the way, I have some great news for you. Our drama is a hit!"Nina was pleasantly surprised. "Really?"Penelope continued, "Yes, it's been steadily gaining momentum and now has the highest ratings in history. When you have time, you should check it out. Also, 'Demon Bone' started strong but is now falling apart. Everyone's criticizing it online, saying the plot is dragging and it looks like it's going to have a bad ending. Its ratings are dropping day by day. We won this round!""That's fantastic," Nina said. "I expected as much."She had always had high hopes for their show. Even when the initial buzz was low, she believed it had potential. She thought, even if the audience's acceptance wasn't high, at least breaking even would be
Pregnancy was inherently difficult for a woman. With her belly so big now, he had not fulfilled his duties as a father. He had not been there to take care of her, leaving her to face everything alone, and this filled him with guilt. He owed Nina a lot.Seeing his reddened eyes, Nina smiled and placed her hand over his. "Isn't everything fine now? Pregnancy comes with some discomfort, but even the hard parts are filled with happiness. Every day, I look forward to his arrival, and just thinking about it makes me happy."Nash said, "You've been through so much. I don't want you to have to go through this again."Nina laughed. "Are you saying one child is enough for you?"Nash replied softly, "Once the baby is born, you'll have gone through so much. I don't want you to endure that again."He had learned about the process of childbirth. Carrying a baby for ten months, with the child growing each day, he knew it became increasingly uncomfortable for her. It was a tough journey, and wh
Nash paused for a moment, surprised. "He moved!"Nina felt it too. "See, I told you it was real."Nash pressed his face against her belly. "Do you think he can sense me?"Nina looked down at him, smiling. "Probably. Babies are quite perceptive, even before they're born. I think he can hear us talking."Nash was overjoyed. It was a new feeling, the joy of becoming a father. He kissed Nina's belly, cherishing their time together.Nina stroked his hair. "You'll get to meet him soon. Even though you haven't been around much lately, you'll have plenty of time to bond with him once he's born."Nash smiled without saying a word. He helped Nina to the bedroom. She wanted to take a bath and rest. He prepared a nightgown for her and helped her with a bath. These were tasks Nina had always done for Nash, but now the roles were reversed. Nina felt a bit shy but reminded herself that they were about to have a child, so she let Nash take on the responsibilities of a husband and father.Na
"Yeah." Nash replied.Nina was stunned for a few seconds. She had not fully processed the information. The hero she had always looked up to, Zac, had turned out to be a figment of her imagination. Did that mean her relationship with Nash was based on her imagination? She had followed in the footsteps of a hero only to be told that it was all due to a mix-up in her memories. It was hard for her to accept.It felt like her belief was slowly crumbling. Even though she had doubted it before, she didn't want to shatter this beautiful illusion.Staring at Nash, she felt a deep-seated rejection and denial. "No way," Nina insisted. "Impossible! How could my memories be wrong? I remember it clearly!"Seeing her struggle to accept the truth, Nash tried to comfort her softly. "Even if it wasn’t true, it doesn't matter. Fate brought us together, and that's what counts. Don't dwell on it."Nina couldn't hear his words. If this wasn't real, then what was? What had she been holding onto
Nash was fortunate.In the first half of his life, he was not sure what he was striving for. On the surface, he had achieved a few things, holding a respectable position, but his life felt incomplete and hollow. He was merely getting by, with no clear direction. Even returning to the York family to fulfill his grandfather’s wishes was more of an obligation than a desire.He knew his grandfather felt guilty towards him. Growing up in the York family, he never experienced parental love and was burdened with the family's expectations. His life was materially rich but emotionally barren. His grandfather, feeling sorry for him, wished for someone to love him properly. And then Nina appeared.Hearing this, Nina felt a bit of bittersweetness. Maybe it was because she was pregnant, her thoughts were more sensitive, and she felt more vulnerable."Nash," Nina looked down, feeling that her past imagination no longer mattered as much. "Will we be able to stay together happily? Without doub
