Chapter 853
Nash took a deep breath, suppressing the pain in his heart as he tenderly caressed Nina's cheek.
His heart ached deeply as he said, "Nina, I know you're not that kind of person. But life is full of uncertainties. You have a long life ahead of you, you know that? Quincy will be your best support."
With Quincy supporting her career, Nina wouldn't have to worry at all. Nash had even arranged for Scarlett to be by her side. If she hadn't come to the Yaren territory, she would indeed have had the best life in the capital.
But without him and their child, her life would become stagnant. There were things she wouldn't be able to understand, and she would always live with the guilt about Scott.
"Nina, I love you. If I could, I'd wish we'd never met," Nash said, holding her hand and kissing her forehead. Despite the loving words, the next moment he wished they had never met, so she wouldn't be in danger because of him.
She didn't believe that memories appear without reason, just as people would not just come into each other's lives by chance. Everything would have a process.
Gripping Nash's hand tightly, Nina said in her hoarse voice, "Nash, it's too late for you to say these things now. You are my Zac, my hero. I've always looked up to you and admired you. When your grandfather wanted me to marry you, I was all in the moment I saw you."
Perhaps knowing their chances were slim, or maybe Nash's honesty had moved her deeply, Nina opened up her heart. She had never told Nash these things, and he rarely spoke of them. One thought the other didn't love them, leading to their foolish misunderstandings.
Nash wiped the tears from her eyes. Some words, despite being on the tip of his tongue, he swallowed back. Keeping certain things from her, though cruel, was also a form of protection.
His only wish now was for Nina to live well.
"I know. The child was mine." Nash admitted. Hearing the word "child," Nina couldn't hold back anymore and collapsed into his arms, sobbing,
During her pregnancy, she had been constantly on edge. When Nash found out about the baby, he wanted to terminate the pregnancy, but eventually, he relented. It was a time of immense struggle.
Nash gently wiped her tears. "Nina, I was so slow to realize. The woman that night was you. It took me so long to figure it out." How absurd it seemed now, having Nina investigate herself.
Nina, her voice hoarse, said, "Nash, that's all in the past. Let's find a way out of here, get Scarlett and Scott to safety, and I'll stay with you."
Nash had been poisoned because of her. Knowing now that everything he did was for her, she couldn't leave him behind. She had seen too much death and loss here.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
She understood that keeping loved ones close was the most important thing. She couldn't lose Nash again. Tears streamed down Nina's face as she spoke. Before Nash could respond, the sound of clapping grew louder. Nina and Nash looked up to see Micah striding confidently toward them, a deep, enigmatic smile on his lips.
