Meanwhile, Quincy was still at York Corporation, where he had been handling many affairs single-handedly in Nash’s absence. He was overwhelmed with work.When Nash’s number flashed on his phone screen, he jolted and quickly answered, “Mr. York.” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Fɪndηovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.The phone emitted a faint static sound. The signal on Nash’s end wasn’t good. The Yaren territory was a conflict zone, with frequent gunfire and fights.”Quincy, how is she doing lately?” Nash’s clear voice finally came through. The person he cared about most was always Nina.Quincy reported truthfully, “Madam has been cooperating well and completed her recovery. After being discharged, she had a gathering with friends and then started learning combat skills from Scarlett…” Before he could finish, the line went dead. Quincy immediately tried calling back but was met with a mechanical voice, “The number you dialed is currently out of service. Please try again later…” There was no signal.Quincy clenched his phone, his expression serious and tense. He felt uneasy but ultimately decided to follow Nash’s instructions.—Nash had been in the Yaren territory for almost two weeks now, still unable to find Scott and unable to enter the main city. In the distance, missiles and gunfire lit up half the sky.James and Felix stood on a broken wall. James was holding a bamboo pole with an antenna attached to it. The area they were in had no electricity or water.”Ah, damn it!” James fell off the wall, breaking the antenna in half.Felix shook his head. “The bullets and bombs haven’t hit us yet, and you’re already down?””Shut up!” James shot him a glare. “Even if we were under fire, I wouldn’t be afraid. Have you ever seen me chicken out?”Felix chuckled. True, he hadn’t.Since they had arrived with Nash, they had been ordered to join the southern Yaren conflict. The allied enemies were repelled, but the Yaren territory, located in the Golden Triangle, had many valuable resources. Suddenly, Nash’s deep voice broke Felix’s thoughts. “The communication must be fixed. We need to contact the troops as soon as possible.””Yes, Captain,” Felix and James responded in unison.Nash did not speak further. He stared at the distant flames, thinking of Nina’s face. The nation comes before the family.He had already pledged his loyalty to his country and now needed to maintain peace and fight. Moreover, his poison was still not cured, and Scott was still missing.He had to secure the Yaren territory and find its leader.—Nina could not sleep that night. She lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, with thoughts of Nash and their child filling her mind.She could not accept that their child was stillborn. She had felt the baby’s presence so clearly and intensely during her labor. But…She did not know how to face this reality. After waking up, she had not even seen her child once.Before giving birth, she had downloaded a pregnancy app that sent her daily updates and tips on caring for a newborn. Even now, it continued to send her messages about feeding and caring for the baby. This continuous stream of baby-related notifications felt like salt on an open wound, reminding her of the painful reality she struggled to accept.
