Chapter 58
Nina wrapped her arms around his neck, "I want you to stay with me."
"I won't go anywhere," Nash caressed her cheek, Your skin is all red. When you sleep, try not to move too much to avoid aggravating your wounds, okay?"
Looking at him, Nina finally understood how it felt for Miranda to show vulnerability to him.
The crying baby gets the milk. She showed a bit of vulnerability, and Nash was indeed very gentle with
her.
"Okay," Nina reluctantly let go of his hands.
Nash tucked her in and sat on the edge of the bed, "Are you feeling cold?"
Nina shook her head, "No, I'm not."
"You have a slight fever," Nash said with concern, Let me cool you down with a towel."
"Okay, you're so good to me," Nina looked at him, speaking from her heart.
Nash smiled, pinching her nose. Nina didn't flinch, just gazed at him affectionately, wanting to remember his kindness forever.
However, Nash said, "Little girl, don't easily praise others."
He added some ice to a towel and placed it on her forehead. His voice was husky as he said, "In the

future, without me by your side, don't let any man deceive you with even the slightest bit of kindness."
Hearing this, Nina couldn't help but purse her lips, feeling a surge of bitterness in her nose. She forced a smile and pretended to be strong, "How is that possible? I'm not a little girl anymore. Where is there someone so easily fooled? No way."
"I think you're quite easy to fool. Weren't you charmed by that guy, Zac?" Nash said softly.
Nina paused for a moment, not answering him.
Curious, Nash asked again, “You never told me what the guy you liked looked like, the one you've the one you've been thinking about for so many years.”
Nina averted her gaze, her voice dull, "He's a bit. like you, except he's a bit gentler to me than you are."
Nash felt a bit regretful upon knowing, it didn't sit well in his heart; he didn't possess the gentleness of the man she had in mind.
"Let's go to sleep," Nash didn't want to ask further.
In truth, Nina didn't want to bring it up either. These were her warmest memories, secrets she wanted to keep hidden deep within.
If they were exposed, the embarrassment and difficulty in explaining would be hers alone.
She rested her head on Nash's arm and closed her eyes to sleep. Nash lay on his side, gazing at the person in his arms, feeling a sense of
incomprehension.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

As he caressed her delicate cheek, there was a hint of mockery in his expression, "This girl who's been with me all these years will one day belong to someone else."
Why was he finding it so hard to part ways?
Nina stayed at home to recuperate for three days. When she returned to the company, she found out that those who had harmed her were not faring well.
She thought that after the incident, their cooperation with the York Corporation would cease, causing losses to the company. However, Mr. Lincoln was demoted, replaced by someone else who continued the cooperation with the York Corporation. Those involved were still hospitalized.
She heard that Mr. Lincoln had embezzled company funds and falsified accounts, which would likely lead to years in prison.
Taylor was the first to ask her, "Nina, are you okay now?"
Nina looked at Taylor's reddened eyes, "I'm fine. now, please don't cry in front of me."
Taylor sniffled, on the verge of tears again, "It's all my fault. I put you in danger. I haven't slept well these past few days."
Nina patted her on the head, "Don't dwell on it too much. This wasn't your fault to begin with. I have to thank you for bringing help back in time."
