CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Nina woke up groggily to the smell of roasting meat. When she opened her eyes, the sky was just beginning to lighten.

She checked the time and it was only a little past 5 a.m. The temperature difference between night and day was stark, and as she stepped out of the tent, she instinctively hugged her arms for warmth. Everyone was already up, and Moana pointed to the fire where meat was roasting.

July translated, "You didn't eat last night. You should eat something now. We'll be leaving soon."

Nina did not have an appetite. She had always harbored a doubt. Her goal wasn't simply to find Scott but to uncover her possible connection to the organization.

How else could she have known the secret mechanisms subconsciously?

She might have escaped the organization as the only clean slate, but Seth's reaction to her was too strange, as if he saw another person within her.

There might be a shocking secret she carried, one that only she could unlock. She knew this journey was dangerous, but if she let fear hold her back, she would be trapped in this mystery forever. Someone was out to get her, and she couldn't remain passive. She had to take the initiative.

Feeling guilty, she looked at Scarlett. "I'm sorry."

Scarlett was surprised. "Why are you apologizing? You haven't done anything wrong."

"I didn't expect the conditions here to be so harsh. I was naive and made you suffer," Nina explained.

She had grown up in a comfortable environment. Not wealthy, but without hardship. Only upon leaving her country did she realize how sheltered she had been.

Scarlett raised an eyebrow and smiled. "I'm not afraid of hardship. Compared to my past, this is nothing. At least I'm alive and well. Don't overthink it and don't feel bad. I don't have any family, and I've long considered you as my family.

"Besides..."

"Besides what?" Nina asked, seeing Scarlett hesitate.

"Even if you hadn't come, I would have. Don't forget, I'm a special forces soldier now. This is my duty," Scarlett said.

Nina joked, "You're really committed. Have you been brainwashed?"

Scarlett laughed. "Maybe. It's strange. Before, I never thought about it, but now that I have this title, I feel a responsibility. I want to be a hero."

Scarlett leaned closer to Nina, linking arms with her, "Do you think if I hadn't joined the organization, I might have become a soldier? My life could have reached another level."

Nina squeezed her hand. "Absolutely. You're incredibly brave and you would have achieved great things."

Scarlett laughed, unable to stop.

"What's so funny?" Nina asked, finding Scarlett's laughter a bit excessive.

Scarlett finally managed to control her laughter and said, "It's just that you said it so seriously. It's kind of funny. But I agree with you. If my life hadn't started with the organization, I would have been someone who really loves life."

"It's not too late, Scarlett. You'll do great things," Nina said, boosting Scarlett's morale.

Scarlett was filled with confidence.

Her first mission was to teach Nina and her second was to fight on the front lines. They shared the same goal which was to destroy the harmful organization.

As they chatted, there was a commotion. Ten masked men burst in, weapons drawn. Without warning, they opened fire, giving no time for thought.

Scarlett's expression turned grim. She quickly grabbed Nina and ran upstairs, with Moana carrying her child and July following. The scene was pure chaos.

"Boss, some ran upstairs," one of the attackers reported.

The leader made a gesture, and they headed upstairs.

The leader spoke coldly, "Alive or dead, we need to find Nina. As long as we bring back her body, our lady and Pharaoh will reward us handsomely!" "Yes, sir!" they responded in unison, their voices echoing.

Scarlett felt a chill.

Pharaoh was after Nina! Why?NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Was it because of the poison in Nina's body? But it had been neutralized.

And they had just come out of the desert. How did Pharaoh's people find them so accurately?

Was there a traitor among them?

Scarlett gripped Nina's hand tightly. "Nina, take off your clothes. We'll switch. You go west, I go east."

Moana spoke rapidly, and July

translated, "Miss Nina, she says to

follow her. She'll take you to her

tribe, and they'll help you find who

you're looking for."

"July, go with them. I'll hide here. Nina, hurry, there's no time!" Scarlett shouted.

"What about you?" Nina asked.

"Don't worry, I won't die. I've seen worse," Scarlett reassured her.

Nina couldn't believe how chaotic it was. It was far beyond her expectations.

"No, I can't leave you," Nina said, unwilling to abandon Scarlett.

A loud explosion rocked the building, sending a wave of heat and force that threw Nina. July and Moana each grabbed one of her hands, pulling her through a large hole in an iron door.

Inside, the room was pitch black until a faint orange light flickered on.

Nina's heart pounded with worry for Scarlett, who was nowhere to be seen.

She wanted to go back and find her.
