She leaned against the wall, feeling extremely uncomfortable, her face deathly pale as she continued to retch, but nothing came out.
Seeing this, Nash nervously approached and supported her. âWhatâs wrong? Where does it hurt?
Nina pushed his hand away, tears welling in her eyes. âYou just brought up divorce, and now youâre asking whatâs wrong?â
Seeing her pale complexion, Nash softened his
tone. âLetâs go home first. We wonât talk about this now.â
He held her waist and led her outside. Nina didnât refuse; she didnât want to argue with Nash at the doorstep, fearing her parents would see and worry about her. Her marriage might not be happy, but she didnâ want her parents to be overly concerned.
Arriving at the car, Nash looked at Ninaâs sickly appearance, sighed, and pulled her into his embrace again. âNina, what should I do with you?â
Nina leaned against his shoulder, her nose tingling. She wasnât sure when she had become so fragile. Perhaps because she found some solace in Nash, she had become more wilful. Wanting more and more from him, she no longer acted as sensible as before.
âNash,â she mumbled against his chest, âthank
you for everything youâve done for me.â
Nash gently patted her back. âWhat have I done for you that you need to thank me for?â
Nina replied, âThank you for coming to my house and letting my parents know that Iâm doing well. They wonât have to worry about me anymore. And thank you for spending two million to save our family back then. Iâll always remember these things in my heart.â
Then, she added with emphasis, âAnd thank you for saving me too.â
Though her words had a hidden meaning, Nash didnât catch them. Despite being a bit upset moments ago, Ninaâs comforting words made all his anger dissipate.
He held Nina tightly, perhaps out of fear of losing her, and said, âIâm your husband, and these are things I should do.â
Ninaâs lips tugged slightly as she lowered her gaze. Even though Nash had crafted a dream of being Mrs. Yorkâ for her, she knew one day she would have to wake up. She understood that everything wasnât about what she deserved, but rather what
came at a cost.
Nash handed Nina a bottle of water, and she drank it. He asked, âStill feeling unwell?â
Nina shook her head. âMuch better.â
âIs it gastric pain?â Nash inquired again.
Nina replied, âNo, not really. Iâm just feeling a bit nauseous. Maybe I ate something that upset my stomach.â
Nash fastened her seatbelt, and adjusted the seat downwards. âRest for a while. Weâll be home soon.â
Nina nodded obediently and lay down. Perhaps she was a bit tired because she fell asleep right away.
Upon arriving home, it was Nash who woke her up, but she could feel the fatigue in her body.
After taking a shower, Nina went back to sleep and slept until dawn. When she woke up, she was almost late for work.
Nash didnât wake her up, probably
wanting her to get more rest and et
arrive at the office a bit later. But this was the first time Nina had encountered such a S
situation. She had never been late before.
With her professional habits, Nina quickly washed up, not even bothering with breakfast, eager to arrive at the office on time.
As she descended the stairs, she
saw Sally busy in the kitchen,è
instructing the helper, âMake sure to stew this soup well and pay attention to the timing. Iâll take it to the hospital for Miranda.â S
Nina listened, knowing how much Sally liked Miranda. She knew that since Miranda was hospitalized, Sally would definitely go to visit her. After tidying up for a while, Sally had several thermos flasks, all intended for Miranda.

she frowned and said âWhy are you still at home? Itâs o late. Are you sleeping in?â
Nina slowed her pace. âIâm heading to the office now.â
