Nash did not answer the call but instead sent a text and put his phone on silent. The calls from Miranda stopped coming. They waited for a long time. Nina, growing sleepy, began to doze off. Her head was bobbing as she struggled to stay awake.Seeing her exhausted state, Nash sat down beside her and gently rested her head on his shoulder. Nina seemed to find some comfort in this position, her body relaxing as she leaned fully against him. Nash looked at her peaceful side-profile, wishing this moment could last forever. His eyes softened as he watched her. Time seemed to stand still, despite the bustle of people passing by. “Miss Walker…”A doctor emerged from the lab, calling out.Nina woke up immediately, standing up quickly. “Here!”In her haste, she did not notice Nash beside her, her mind solely focused on finding out if her condition would affect the baby. The doctor’s serious expression made her heart pound with anxiety.”After the examination, we found that your bodily functions are gradually deteriorating…”The doctor’s words hit her like a thunderbolt. Was it showing symptoms now?Previous tests had not revealed anything, but now, with the bruises, her body was showing signs of decline.Nina stood in stunned silence.Before she could ask any questions, Nash spoke up. “She’s been poisoned with a rare toxin that’s infiltrating her system. Without an antidote, how long can she hold on? What can be done to slow it down?””We discovered a rare virus in Miss Walker’s body,” the doctor explained. “It’s something we’ve never encountered before. It’s strange that there were no previous symptoms. Given that Miss Walker’s bodily functions are deteriorating and she is pregnant, this will likely accelerate the virus’s spread. If the toxin isn’t neutralized, she might only make it until the baby is born.”The doctor seemed hesitant, looking at Nash. “Mr. York, please come to my office.”Nash’s expression was grim as he followed the doctor to the office.Nina stood at the door. Her palms were sweaty and she was uncertain about their conversation. She had only heard that she could hold on until the baby was born. Did this mean the baby wasn’t affected by the toxin?Her relief was mixed with tension. She realized she had only a few months left. In those months, she needed to finalize everything, ensuring everything was in order for her child’s future.Nina started planning how to protect her child.Who would take care of the baby after she was gone? S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ƒindNoᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Her parents could, but they were old.And Nash?She feared that if he married Miranda, her child would suffer.Just as she was lost in thought, the door suddenly burst open. Nash with his stern expression, strode over and grabbed her hand.”What are you doing? What did the doctor say?” Nina was alarmed and asked.Nash did not reply, dragging her in another direction.”Nash, speak to me! What did the doctor say? Didn’t you hear? I can make it until the baby is born. There’s still hope!” Nina shouted. Nash looked at her with cold eyes. “Abort the baby.”
