Nina felt deeply touched. “Meeting you has been a blessing for me too. We’ve helped each other so much!”Seeing that they had a lot to talk about, Nash said, “Scarlett works for me now. Didn’t you mention wanting to learn self-defense? Scarlett can teach you.””Really?” Nina’s eyes lit up. “I’d love that! Once I’ve fully recovered, I definitely want to learn!”Nash smiled, genuinely happy to see Nina excited. He hoped she could protect herself.”You two keep chatting. There’s plenty of time,” Nash said.Nina looked at him. “Are you leaving?”Nash nodded. “I have a lot to take care of. I’ll come back to be with you once I’m done.””Okay.” Nina did not want to hold him up.Nash left, gently closing the door behind him.Outside, a well-dressed man in his fifties, looking like a butler, was waiting. He was accompanied by four or five burly bodyguards. The butler bowed respectfully to Nash.”Three months is your deadline. Please remember our agreement.”Nash’s expression was cold, and his tone was indifferent. “I understand.”The butler, satisfied with Nash’s response, said, “Then we will take our leave.” He and his men then left the hospital. Outside, several luxury cars and numerous bodyguards were waiting. The scene was intimidating and hinted at a powerful background. Quincy stood by Nash, his expression serious. He had not smiled since the others arrived.”Mr. York, what will happen to Mrs. York when you leave in three months?” Quincy asked, worried, even though he knew it wasn’t his place.Nash looked at the door, behind which he could hear Nina and Scarlett’s cheerful conversation. She was so happy. He wanted her to stay that way.”Don’t tell her about this for now. In three months, she might not need me anymore.”Nash lowered his gaze and asked, “Didn’t they say Scott went to the Yaren territory? Any news from there?” Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Fɪndηovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.”Nothing yet,” Quincy replied. “Things are unstable abroad. If Scott is missing, it’s likely he’s in danger.”This was the one thing still troubling Nina.”No matter what, we need to find him, dead or alive.””I’ll make the arrangements.”–“You’ve really changed. New job, new attitude,” Nina joked. “Are you joining the army next?””Come on, I’ve always been serious. That flirty persona was just for show. I’m actually very proper,” Scarlett said, lying on the bed. “Nash said I should teach you self-defense. Who knows about the future? Maybe I won’t need to join the army. Being around a bunch of sweaty guys all the time doesn’t sound great.” “Are there no women in the army?” Nina asked.”I don’t know,” Scarlett replied. “But if I had to deal with someone like James every day, I’d lose my mind.”Nina teased, “Sounds like you and James have been spending a lot of time together.””Not by choice. He just gets on my nerves,” Scarlett said, launching into a rant. “He’s such a macho idiot, not too bright and always in the way. Compared to him, Wilfred is much better. He’s gentle and smart. Men like him are rare.” “Speaking of Wilfred, why hasn’t he come to see me after I had the baby? I should call him. He might not know I survived.”Scarlett’s expression changed, and she quickly grabbed Nina’s hand. “Maybe you shouldn’t call him.”
