My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 984
Nashâs expression sank.
At that time, he was not very mature himself. He was just teasing Cassie, but she took it seriously.
âIâm already marriedâ¦â Nash said in a low voice.
No matter whether Cassie was serious or not, he should still tell her that he was married to avoid any further misunderstandings.
The smile on Cassieâs face disappeared, and tears welled up in her Leyes. She sobbed. âYou jerk⦠How could you dump me after you slept
with me?â
Nash was baffled. âWe were just stargazing on the grass!â
His master had stayed in Cassieâs village for three months, and
during that time, Cassie would never leave Nashâs side.
They hiked together, fished together herded cattle together, and even lay on the grass together to count the stars!
At that time, Nash did not know that he was engaged, so he promised
to marry Cassie when she grew up.
Cassie lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.
Nash asked with mixed feelings, âHave you eaten yet? How about I
take you to grab some food?â
Cassie shook her head while warm tears dripped onto the back of her
hands.

Nash pressed his lips together and said, âYou still have a long way ahead of you, and youâll meet many good men. I believe that youâll find someone who will treat you like youâre his whole world!â
Cassie wiped her tears and choked. âSo, you just think of me as your
little sister?â
Nash smiled. âWe can be friends too!â
Cassie turned her head and asked, âWhat about your mistress?â
Nashâs expression sank. âCan you not be so immature?â
Cassie chuckled. âRelax, Iâm just messing with you!â
Nash froze. âWere you messing with me on purpose just now too?â
Cassie lifted her chin arrogantly. âOf course. Iâm the future queen of the Parasite Colony. All men will bow to me when they see me. What
makes you think Iâd travel 2,000 miles just for a man?â
Then, she stopped joking and said solemnly, âI came to Jonford to
look for Abraham. He stole an egg from the Parasite Lord in the
forbidden area!â
âAbraham? Is he your uncleâs son?â
Nash was picturing a humble and honest man with a limp.
Six years ago, that man was about the same age as him.
He was the son of Cassieâs uncle.
The Parasite Colony worshipped the Parasite Lord. It resembled a
white maggot, had a lifespan of 70 to 100 years, and could grow up to

one meter long..
It secreted a green liquid that served as nourishment for the millions.
of parasitic bugs in the colony.
The Parasite Lord was hermaphroditic. Near the end of its life, it
would lay a single egg.
There were three Parasite Lords in the Parasite Colony until one of them was killed by a bomb during the war. It was unable to lay an egg because of its unnatural cause of death, so there were only two
Parasite Lords left in the village.
If they lost another Parasite Lord, the colony would lose a significant number of parasites.
They relied on these bugs to generate wealth, so a significant reduction in the parasite population would directly lead to an
economic downturn in the colony.
âThatâs him, alright!
âHe disappeared the same day as the Parasite Lordâs egg. After
contacting many people, my grandfather finally found traces of hir
Apparently, he came to Jonford half a month ago!â
Cassie looked a little dazed.
Grandpa told her that if Abraham refused to give in, she could kill him
with parasites. In short, she had to bring the Parasite Lordâs egg back
at all costs.
Nash was puzzled. âIsnât Abraham an honest man? Why did he steal
the egg? Are you sure it isnât a misunderstanding?â
Chapter 984
He had always thought that Abraham was a kind-hearted and honest
person.
Nash had even asked him what his dream was.
Back then, Abraham had said with certainty, âMy dream is to become
a parasite specialist. I want to provide free medical treatment to those who canât afford it, and I also want to teach those bad guys a lesson for bullying the poor!â
With such aspirations, Nash just could not wrap his head around why
Abraham would want to steal the egg of the Parasite Lord.
âNashy, people change, donât you think?â
