CHAPTER 174
CEO
âI brought this for you,â Nina said, removing it from the bag. âIs this the one?â
Nash was initially unhappy, but upon seeing that she took it and didnât give it to another woman, his expression softened slightly. However, he couldnât help but question, âIf you took it, why did you still let her come over?â
Nina looked at Linda. âAsk her if she insisted on coming over, despite my advice. I wonât take the blame for this.â
Nashâs gaze returned to Linda. At first, Linda had hoped to show weakness, hoping that Nash would pity her. But as soon as she saw his expression, she knew something was wrong and cautiously said, âIâ¦.. I just wanted to take care of you, to show you that I care. Iâm sorry, it was my fault. I didnât understand clearly. I promise Iâll listen next time. I wonât do it again.â
Nashâs eyes turned icy. âGet out.â
This was the first time Nash had treated Linda so coldly, a complete contrast to the man she had chatted with in the villa before. He had even shown sympathy and offered to support her through college. She had thought she finally found someone in this world who understood her, but it turned out to be short-lived. Linda looked at Nina again, realizing that it was because of her that things had turned out like this. If it werenât for her, Nash would still be the person who chatted with her and treated her kindly.
Unable to accept Nashâs indifference, Linda wiped her tears and ran out.
Along the way, she bumped into someone.
âOops.â Miranda rushed into the room and accidentally collided with someone, quickly stepping back. In her high heels, she twisted her foot and winced in pain.
Linda was still crying when she bumped into Miranda. âIâm sorry, I didnât mean to.â
âAre you blind? Why are you running so fast?â Mirandaâs assistant scolded, then rushed to support Miranda. âMiranda, are you okay?â Seeing the young girl in front of her, with teary eyes and looking fragile, Miranda took off her sunglasses. âItâs okay, itâs not a big deal.â
âDid you twist your foot? Should we see a doctor?â Linda asked nervously.
âNo need.â Miranda also had
concerns about Nash. She kindly told Linda, âYou donât have to take responsibility either, just go about your business.â
With that, Miranda was assisted by her assistant and continued on her way.
Linda watched Mirandaâs figure, feeling somewhat familiar, but couldnât recall where she had seen her before. So she left the hospital once again.
A few minutes later, Miranda arrived at Nashâs hospital room. Quincy opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see her. âMiss⦠Miss Lewis.â âHow is Nash?â Miranda asked with concern.
âMr. York is doing fine, heâs justâ¦â Quincy hadnât finished speaking when Miranda pushed past him.
Sure enough, she saw Nash lying on
the hospital bed. His complexion was slightly pale, tired, and he seemed to have lost some weight
Miranda felt a pang of..
tears immediately welling up in her eyes, almost spilling over. âHow can
you be fine? Clearly, youâre not well. Nash, are you seriously injured?â
Limping, she walked to the bedside, looking at him with worried eyes.
Nash hadnât expected Miranda to come, and he looked at her deeply. âWhy are you here? Arenât you on the film set?â
âI heard from Sally that you were injured, so I rushed over because was worried about you.â Miranda looked at him from head to toe. âWhere are you injured? Let me see.â
Nash grabbed her hand, saying calmly, âItâs on my back, itâs not a big deal. Youâre filming, donât delay the progress just to see me!â
