Nina suddenly felt a wave of pity for Penelope. Growing up without parental love must have left her with a deep sense of insecurity, making her more likely to endure hardships silently. Unable to help herself, Nina linked her arm with Penelope's. "It's all in the past. Things will get better from now on. One day, you'll reach the pinnacle of your career."Penelope smiled. "You have high hopes for me.""If you could endure so much from a young age, there's nothing you can't achieve."Penelope felt a growing fondness for Nina. Perhaps it was the encouragement that stirred a renewed determination within her. She could not go back to the past. She had to escape poverty and hunger.Just then, Miranda arrived. She spotted Penelope and Nina together. Seeing Nina walking around energetically, showing no signs of weakness, confused her. But her sharp eyes noticed the beads on Nina's wrist, and her expression changed. She rushed over and grabbed Nina's arm."Where did you get these?" Mi

He quickly picked her up and rushed to find a doctor. Nina was taken into the emergency room, where the doctors began to examine her. Nash stood outside, feeling anxious. His deep eyes were fixed on her silhouette, unable to relax as his palms grew sweaty with worry. He could sense something was seriously wrong with Nina.After about ten minutes, the doctor came out and spoke to Nash. "I couldn't find anything wrong with the patient. All her tests came back healthy. There's no clear reason for her sudden fainting. However, I did notice several bruises on her body, which appeared rather suspicious. Also, there was a needle mark on the back of her neck."Hearing this made Nash's expression grow even grimmer. Not finding any symptoms was the most dangerous sign. He went into the room and looked at Nina's thin face. She had lost a lot of weight recently. Pregnancy was already hard on her, and now there were these additional symptoms. He could not help but feel a pang of sorrow.Nash

Nash had heard of this name back in the military, but he could never track down the person."You've never seen him either?" Nash asked.Wilfred shook his head. "He's very secretive. He never shows himself to anyone. He's skilled in both virology and combat. That's all I know about him."Involving this criminal organization made things even more serious. It seemed that Nina might have been caught up in this long ago. This matched with her disappearance for an entire summer during high school, when a criminal gang was busted. Many were captured, and many died. Now, it seemed that one would be released soon, and this Pharaoh was still at large.Nash looked at Wilfred. "Aren't you afraid of the organization retaliating against you for telling me all this?"Wilfred smiled. "I've told you, my purpose for living is to protect her. Besides, I'm a healer. Creating a healer takes a lot of resources and effort. They won't harm me."Wilfred's willingness to risk his life for Nina surpris

"I can teach you," Nash offered.Nina's mood brightened. "Great! Then I don't have to find a teacher, I'll just learn from you.""Let's talk about it later," Nash said. "You've been cooped up in the hospital for a while. Let's go out and have some fun."Nina linked her arm through his and said in her playful voice. "I want some candy apples and donuts.""You sure love sweets.""Well, I'm pregnant. My cravings change all the time."It was a rare opportunity for Nina and Nash to spend time together. She felt happy and content, a feeling she had not experienced before. She wished this happiness could last forever.James drove while they sat in the back. The motion of the car made Nina feel tired, and she soon leaned against Nash's shoulder. Seeing this, Nash gently supported her head, letting her rest more comfortably. Eventually he placed her head on his lap. Normally, Nina would wake up, but this time, she seemed deeply asleep.This worried Nash. He feared the day might come

Before the man could reach Nash, James stepped in and twisted his arm, causing him to cry out in pain."Ouch, ouch, ouch!"James, a trained fighter, was always on high alert. Anyone making a move towards them would not get far. He quickly neutralized the threat, leaving no opportunity for the attacker to act."You okay, Captain?" James asked."I'm fine."Seeing James in his camouflage uniform and realizing his skill level, the men suddenly became very respectful towards Nash, realizing they had messed with the wrong person.They quickly came to their senses and apologized. "We're sorry, boss. We were out of line. We shouldn't have said those things!""You're right, loving your wife does bring good fortune!""Please don't hold it against us. We didn't know who we were dealing with!"Nash had not said much, but the men were already scared. They feared losing their jobs, which would be far worse than not getting rich.Nash, now in a better mood, did not bother to make things dif
