Chapter 700
Nash said, "Any bit of information, no matter how small, needs to be reported to me immediately!"
"Understood, Captain."
Nash was anxious, and his team shared his urgency.
With Sawyer dead, he could not dwell on him any longer and had to find another way.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
When Nina woke up, her body felt fine, and she realized she was in a hospital room. She recalled everything that had happened.
She had a fleeting relief of thinking she had the cure, only to find out it was false hope. She had expected this outcome.
Pharaoh's poison was not something that could be easily countered.
Her head throbbed slightly, a lingering effect of the poison.
"Nina."
She looked up and saw Nelly, Penelope, and Yvonne. Surprised but smiling, she greeted them, "What are you doing here?"
"We tried calling you, but you didn't answer. We were worried. Then Nash told us you were in the hospital, so we came to see you. Are you okay?" Yvonne said.
Yvonne knew Nina best. When Nina did not answer her phone, she knew calling Nash would work. The others did not know the specifics of Nina's situation, but Yvonne did.
"It's a small issue. I'm fine now," Nina said, getting out of bed. "Have a seat."
"Have you been overworking? How did you end up in the hospital? You need to be careful, especially with the baby," Nelly said.
Penelope, who had just finished her work and joined them, asked curiously, "Did you and Nash make up?"
Yvonne knew the situation, but she respected Nina's privacy and would not bring it up. Even among friends, she refrained from discussing personal matters to avoid causing unnecessary worry.
Nina smiled. "Sort of."
Penelope understood and smiled back. "That's good."
Nelly, sitting nearby and peeling fruit, complained, "What's good about it? How did you two make up so quickly? After what he did, siding with Miranda instead of you, he deserves to suffer a bit. I'm worried he's just fooling you. Why does he get to have you when he wants and discard you when he doesn't? It makes no sense. I don't think he's paid for his mistakes!"
Each of them had different experiences with Nash, leading to varied opinions. Yvonne saw things most clearly, followed by Penelope. They avoided discussing Nash's past mistakes, not knowing all the facts. However, seeing Nash and Nina reconcile, they felt it necessary to address it.
"Nelly, I know, but my relationship with him is more complicated than you think. You've only seen one side. There's another side too," Nina tried to explain, knowing Nelly hada
negative view of Nash.
Yvonne quickly changed the subject. "Let's talk about something happier. Nina, look, I bought some baby clothes. What do you think?"
Nina's eyes lit up when she saw the baby clothes in Yvonne's hands. "Oh, they're adorable! You actually bought them!"
Yvonne handed the clothes to Nina, who marveled at how tiny and cute they were.
"It's not just Yvonne. I bought baby shoes, and Penelope got some cute pacifiers," Nelly added, shifting the conversation. "Baby stuff is so cute. I almost want to have a baby myself!" Nina's eyes softened with affection. "Then you need to find a boyfriend quickly."
