Chapter 87
"Quarrels between husband and wife happen all the time; it's just part of marriage. What's the big deal? I'll let Nash know you're in the hospital so he won't worry himself sick about you." Nina internally resisted. "Please, don't tell him."
"Didn't you hear what the nurse said? You need to notify your family. Without that you can't leave the hospital," Caleb insisted.
Nina glanced at Caleb. "I hope you stay out of this."
Her complexion was dreadful, and she was stubborn, but her tone mirrored Nash's. Truly like a married couple.
Caleb continued, “Nash has been searching all over for you. I've already reached out to him, and he'll be here at the hospital soon."
Nina pursed her lips tightly. She didn't want to, but Caleb was Nash's friend, surely biased toward him.
Afraid that Nina might try to escape, Caleb kept a close eye on her until Nash arrived at the hospital.
He was out of breath. Upon seeing Nina, he finally relaxed and walked over briskly. "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?" He reached out to touch Nina's forehead.
Nina instinctively pulled back. Nash's hand hovered in the air for a moment, noticing her pale complexion and distant demeanor before he withdrew it.
"I heard you collapsed halfway. Why weren't you at home? Why did you run out?" Nash asked patiently.
Nina still didn't lift her head. "I was bored, went for a walk, didn't expect to collapse. Probably didn't eat much that day, low blood sugar.
Nash glanced at Caleb, who shrugged and honestly replied, "It was indeed low blood sugar."
Finding her at last, Nash's anxious heart significantly eased. He arranged for Nina to be transferred to a regular ward.
Nina lay silently, facing away from the window, her energy greatly diminished. Nash could sense her unhappiness. Overnight, she seemed like a completely different person from the cheerful one of yesterday, Caleb sighed, "Ah, Nina needs your coaxing.
Nash furrowed his brows but didn't speak.
Caleb seemed to understand, “A woman's heart is like finding a needle in a haystack, you can search for ages and still not uncover it, but you'll notice when she's unhappy.” Women were indeed a mystery.
Why even bother getting married? Women were just too complicated!
Nash shot Caleb a glance and commanded coldly, "Not busy with work? Get lost!”
Seeing Nash's irritation, Caleb didn't press further, not wanting to stir up trouble. With a polite smile, he made a swift exit.
Nash entered the room, finding Nina turned away from him, evidently in a mood. His tone was cool as he inquired, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Nina gazed at the clear blue sky outside, bright and sunny, while her heart was raining.
She kept telling herself, what was the big deal?
Wasn't she used to his indifference, his unattainable love? Why should she be sad about his manipulation?
She should've seen it coming from the start.
Nina closed her eyes, wondering what she was really seeking.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Was she just being greedy, expecting more from Nash?
She couldn't get over this hurdle, unsure if she had the right to be angry.
What was she even angry about?
She shouldn't be angry, right?
Nina forced a strained smile, trying to overcome her emotional struggles and find relief from her pain.
She turned to Nash, gazing at his cold, handsome face, realizing he was still upset about her disappearance.
"I really, truly just fainted while walking. I didn't mean anything by it. I'm sorry for worrying you. There won't be a next time."
