Chapter 217
"I have some matters to deal with at the company. Once you've sorted out your uncle's affairs, it's best not to delay work," his words left no room for debate.
She had another identity, that of Nash's secretary. Despite being separated from life, work had to be done well.
For Nina, her time at work would not last much longer. Today seemed to be her last day. Yet, she still had to fulfill her month's work as no one would be exempt from financial penalties.
If she did not show up for work, her pay would still be deducted. A few days spent in her hometown had already consumed her vacation days.
When she eventually resigned from the York Corporation, it would mark a new beginning. She needed to plan her future path carefully.
After much hesitation, Nina finally agreed. "Alright, Mr. York."
Satisfied with her answer, Nash shifted his gaze forward and Nina followed behind him.
As usual, they maintained their professional relationship, leaving behind their roles as husband and wife. With just a glance, Nina knew what Nash needed, promptly providing it to him. This was one aspect tha pleased Nash. In this world, Nina was the only one who could satisfy him professionally.
They arrived at the hospital as planned. Nina knew very well that he would definitely visit Miranda. At the brink of divorce, Nash and Miranda needed to foster their relationship more. Since Miranda was not on set coincidentally, there was plenty of time.
Both of them stayed noticeably silent as they rode the elevator up. By the time they reached the ward, Miranda's wounds had been bandaged, but the doctor said she had suffered psychological trauma and needed counseling.
A psychologist was brought in to assist with her psychological well-being. Miranda was already in need of comfort. When she saw Nash, she rose to her feet and softly called out, "Nash."
She immediately ran over and hugged him, curling up in his arms. "I'm so scared," she murmured.
Nina stood at the door, watching them embrace, her emotions not stirred. Over time, she seemed to have adapted to this environment, harboring no expectations. Hence, there was no need to be saddened or upset for anyone.
Nash pulled Miranda away and calmly asked, "Have your wounds been properly treated? Do you have any other issues?"
"I'm scared," Miranda replied. Tears welled in her eyes and one fell onto the back of Nash's hand, looking pitiful. "I always feel like someone is going to harm me. That girl wanted to kill me. When I close my eyes, I see her covered in blood, coming to take my life..." Her body trembled as she spoke.
The doctor added, "Miranda has suffered severe psychological trauma. She needs counseling and comfort. She must not be frightened, otherwise, she may develop stress disorders, which are detrimental to her health. She has already lost hearing in one ear and may experience symptoms such as headaches, tinnitus, nausea, and vomiting." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
After explaining everything, the doctor left. Miranda sat there, still feeling fearful and uneasy. She was only wearing a thin hospital gown, and with her slender frame and small face, she exuded a fragile and broken aura.
Not to mention Nash, even Nina could not help but feel sorry for her. Seeing her in this state, Nash asked, "Was not there a security guard at that time?"
The assistant explained, "When
Linda came to see Miranda, Miranda
thought she was just coming to hang out innocently. They had met a few times, and Miranda felt sorry for her, seeing that she was young and had no support here. So, she let her in not expecting her to turn violent."
