If she continued as Nash’s secretary, she would definitely be suitable. But she was greedy and she wanted his love. Continuing this way, they would only grow more unhappy, and even the shadow of the best times would vanish.”Nina…” Nash’s emotions were intense, but the effects of the drug were quicker. He stared at her with intensity. “Are you leaving me… to find your Zac?”Nina did not speak but gathered courage. Under his piercing gaze, her hand reached up to touch his handsome face. She looked at him, seeking traces of Zac in him.But he was Nash, no longer the spirited youth. She remembered his passionate determination, rescuing her from the clutches of criminals despite being badly injured. She owed him her life once, but she had repaid it because she had also saved him.Nina remembered everything about him very clearly. Since middle school, her eyes had always followed him, attending the same high school and university. In Nash’s life, she existed for seven years, but Nash had been in her life for fourteen.It was a sweltering afternoon. The school was organizing a drama performance, and she had a role to play. She was always diligent, arriving at the auditorium half an hour early, practicing her lines repeatedly. That day, she noticed a strong smell of blood as she entered. Feeling uneasy, she followed the scent to the dressing room, filled with costumes used in school performances.Inside, she heard heavy breathing. Fearful, she thought it was a thief and grabbed a baseball bat behind the door. Pushing aside some clothes, she saw his pale face, as if he was about to die in the next second.Nina was shocked and horrified to find him lying in a pile of clothes, covered in blood. She was both frantic and afraid, quickly applying pressure to stop the bleeding. He had been stabbed in the abdomen. The wound was not too deep, but the bleeding could be fatal.As she touched his body, Nash grabbed her arm with all his strength, his eyes barely open from exhaustion, and weakly said, “Don’t let anyone know!”She did not know how he gotinjured. But every time sheinteracted with him, it seemed like he was hurt, and she knew he did not want anyone to know what he was doing. After all, this was school, and if someone got stabbed, it would surely become news throughout the entire campus,drawing attention. She listened to him, keeping it a secret from everyone and helping him stop the bleeding. And then he passed out.By the time it was noon, her classmates would be rehearsing in the auditorium, but this rest area was usually deserted, unless there was an important performance.The smell of blood was too strong, so she sprayed a lot of disinfectant in the auditorium to mask the odor. During rehearsals, she was worried about him, distracted, and scolded by the teacher several times.Until it ended, she rushed to see him, but he had already disappeared. Even the bloodstains at the scene were gone. It was as if nothing had happened. If it were not for the red mark on her arm, she would have thought it was all a dream. Zac existed only in the past. From fantasy to eventually becoming a joke. Nash could never become Zac again.Nina pulled herself out of thememory, looking at his eyes about to lose consciousness. “Zac is no longer important. At this moment, we owe each other nothing.” But she could never forget. He once held an important place in her heart. No matter how unwilling Nash was, he eventually lost consciousness.
