Chapter 162
Nina waited anxiously outside the operating room, concerned about Nash's well-being. The nail had deeply embedded itself and required surgery for removal. Her main worry was whether any organs had beer injured.
Julia arrived and asked, "How's Nash?" with a worried expression.
"He's still in surgery," Nina replied.
"This Lily is causing trouble, hurting my son-in-law!" Julia exclaimed.
Zion remained silent, waiting patiently by the side.
Finally, the doctor emerged from the operating room.
"How is he, doctor?" Julia asked, filled with concern.
"The nail has been successfully removed. Don't worry, no vital organs were harmed. He'll be discharged after a few days of rest," the doctor reassured.
Everyone let out a collective sigh of relief.
Nina's anxiety started to subside as well.
After what happened, Nina couldn't shake off the guilt she felt for Nash's injury. He was still unconscious and had been moved to a regular ward.
Nina sat outside, lost in her thoughts. Nash had selflessly put himself in harm's way to protect her. Sometimes he showed such kindness, but at other times, he could be distant and cold.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing Nina's worry, Julia tried to offer some comfort. "Nina, Nash is going to be all right. Don't be too hard on yourself."
Nina looked up at her parents and pleaded, "Mom, Dad, you've already been through so much. Please go back home. I'll stay here."
Zion couldn't find peace of mind knowing that Nash had put himself at risk to save Nina. He suggested, "Nash still hasn't regained consciousness. Let's wait for him together."
Nina didn't have much else to say.
Twenty minutes later, Sally hurried over, her voice filled with anxiety. "How is Nash? How is my son?"
She rushed through the corridors until she reached Nash's ward. Her face darkened as she saw Nash lying unconscious.
Noticing her urgency, Julia spoke up. "Nash is still asleep, but his condition is not serious. The doctor said..."
Without warning, Sally angrily slapped Nina across the face. Nina was taken aback, her shock evident as she looked up at Sally.
"Nina, it's you again!" Sally disregarded their explanations and directed her anger towards Nina. "You're a disaster. My son only encountered danger because of you. When will you stop causing trouble for my son?"
Equally shocked, Julia defensively
pulled Nina behind her. "Hey Sally, why are you hitting your
daughter-in-law so recklessly? Nash saved my daughter, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm grateful. But this was an accident. Nobody could have predicted it!"
Sally looked at Julia with disdain, showing no warmth. "Who said she's my daughter-in-law? I never acknowledged that. I'm hoping Nash divorces her!"
"Divorce?" Julia was astonished.
She and Sally hadn't interacted much. Their marriage had been somewhat hasty, with them getting married without informing Sally and her husband, simply obtaining a marriage certificate.
They only met Nash's grandfather
briefly. Nash grandfather was easy
to get along with, and they
respected him. Sally had little contact with them. Without saying anything, they could feel that Sally wasn't easy to get along with, so they saw no need to confront her.
Until now, Julia still didn't know that their marriage was built on top of two million. She just felt that Nina had found a good match who could provide for her, and this allowed her to repay the debt of two million. Zion had a lot on his mind. Even though no one had said it outright, he couldn't help but feel that Nina wasn't happy about marrying Nash. Nina had always been responsible and considerate, always prioritizing her family.
Julia questioned Sally, saying, "Sally, why can't you have some positive hopes? Nash is your son. Instead of wishing for his divorce, shouldn't you be hoping for his happiness? What kind of mother does that?"
