Nash did not want to involve her, but since it concerned her directly, she had the right to know the truth. He knew how stubborn she could be, especially when she was angry.After a moment of silence, Nash spoke slowly, “These people are from my father’s side. Sally isn’t my biological mother, and William isn’t my biological father. My real father is the president of Salterra. When I fell into the river that runs through the Yaren tribe, it was my father who saved me. I spent a long time recovering, and later he arranged many things for me. Nina, I made a deal with him back then. There were things I had to agree to.” Nina could guess some of the complications that had kept Nash from contacting her, but hearing it from him still hurt.She wanted to reach out and hold him, but she held back, thinking about their child. “What about the child, Nash? I’m not a child myself. I can handle the truth. Is our child alive or not?”Tears welled up in her eyes as she gripped Nash’s hand.Stroking her head gently, Nash replied, “Nina, I sent our child to be with you. I intended for him to stay with you for a while as I sorted things out here. I didn’t expect…”Nash’s voice was hoarse, filled with regret. These past years, Nina was the one person he felt he had truly wronged.”Nash, why didn’t you tell me sooner? Do you know I almost sent that child away?” she sobbed, realizing that Orion was her own son.No wonder she felt such a deep connection to Orion, why he clung to her and said those things. Unable to contain herself, she bit Nash’s hand hard. He didn’t flinch, letting her vent her anger.Eventually, she tasted blood and released him, her eyes red and swollen. “Why did you keep this from me? Do you know how much pain I’ve been in? You hid the truth from me for five years! I thought our child was dead! I haven’t even had the chance to acknowledge him…”Nina buried her face in her hands, sobbing uncontrollably. As she spoke, she pounded Nash’s chest with her fists, “Nash, why did you have to hide the truth about our child from me?”Nash’s voice was soft yet filled with sorrow, “I traded his safety for your antidote. To save you, I had no other choice.” Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Findηøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Tears streaming down her face, Nina understood his reasoning but felt the weight of his decision crushing her. “What about now? If you were so helpless then, why reveal yourself at such a critical moment?””Because of you. You are everything to me. I can’t stand by and watch you get hurt. Nina, I’ve decided. I’m ready to leave everything behind. I want the three of us to be together as a family,” Nash said firmly, gripping her shoulders.His gaze was resolute as he looked into hers, speaking each word deliberately.Nina could see Nash’s determination, but she was also deeply concerned about his safety and the implications of his actions.
