Chapter 87
âQuarrels between husband and wife happen all the time; itâs just part of marriage. Whatâs the big deal? Iâll let Nash know youâre in the hospital so he wonât worry himself sick about you.â Nina internally resisted. âPlease, donât tell him.â
âDidnât you hear what the nurse said? You need to notify your family. Without that you canât leave the hospital,â Caleb insisted.
Nina glanced at Caleb. âI hope you stay out of this.â
Her complexion was dreadful, and she was stubborn, but her tone mirrored Nashâs. Truly like a married couple.
Caleb continued, âNash has been searching all over for you. Iâve already reached out to him, and heâll be here at the hospital soon.â
Nina pursed her lips tightly. She didnât want to, but Caleb was Nashâs friend, surely biased toward him.
Afraid that Nina might try to escape, Caleb kept a close eye on her until Nash arrived at the hospital.
He was out of breath. Upon seeing Nina, he finally relaxed and walked over briskly. âWhatâs wrong? Where does it hurt?â He reached out to touch Ninaâs forehead.
Nina instinctively pulled back. Nashâs hand hovered in the air for a moment, noticing her pale complexion and distant demeanor before he withdrew it.
âI heard you collapsed halfway. Why werenât you at home? Why did you run out?â Nash asked patiently.
Nina still didnât lift her head. âI was bored, went for a walk, didnât expect to collapse. Probably didnât eat much that day, low blood sugar.
Nash glanced at Caleb, who shrugged and honestly replied, âIt was indeed low blood sugar.â
Finding her at last, Nashâs anxious heart significantly eased. He arranged for Nina to be transferred to a regular ward.
Nina lay silently, facing away from the window, her energy greatly diminished. Nash could sense her unhappiness. Overnight, she seemed like a completely different person from the cheerful one of yesterday, Caleb sighed, âAh, Nina needs your coaxing.
Nash furrowed his brows but didnât speak.

Caleb seemed to understand, âA womanâs heart is like finding a needle in a haystack, you can search for ages and still not uncover it, but youâll notice when sheâs unhappy.â Women were indeed a mystery.
Why even bother getting married? Women were just too complicated!
Nash shot Caleb a glance and commanded coldly, âNot busy with work? Get lost!â
Seeing Nashâs irritation, Caleb didnât press further, not wanting to stir up trouble. With a polite smile, he made a swift exit.
Nash entered the room, finding Nina turned away from him, evidently in a mood. His tone was cool as he inquired, âDonât you have anything to say to me?â
Nina gazed at the clear blue sky outside, bright and sunny, while her heart was raining.
She kept telling herself, what was the big deal?
Wasnât she used to his indifference, his unattainable love? Why should she be sad about his manipulation?
She shouldâve seen it coming from the start.
Nina closed her eyes, wondering what she was really seeking.
Was she just being greedy, expecting more from Nash?
She couldnât get over this hurdle, unsure if she had the right to be angry.
What was she even angry about?
She shouldnât be angry, right?
Nina forced a strained smile, trying to overcome her emotional struggles and find relief from her pain.
She turned to Nash, gazing at his cold, handsome face, realizing he was still upset about her disappearance.
âI really, truly just fainted while walking. I didnât mean anything by it. Iâm sorry for worrying you. There wonât be a next time.â BIG SALE: 3500 bonus free fou you
