CHAPTER 191

Nina didn’t see it that way, even though she had spoken disdainfully to Miranda. She was just protecting herself.

“Don’t you know there’s someone else I like?” Nina said.

That sentence shut Nash down completely. She had feelings for someone else. But he had never seen this man! It seemed to become a puzzle between them.

Nash’s handsome face grew cold and stern, yet he had to say, “You don’t need to mention this man. When the contract expires, I’ll let you go. Even if you don’t give me the divorce papers, I’ll deliver them to you!”

They could only get their shares when the marriage contract expired. Nina knew that.

Without saying it explicitly, she cooperated with him. It was a kind of repayment to him. “Alright,” Nina took out her phone and glanced at the calendar. “There aren’t many days left. I hope Mr. York will find time when the time comes.”

Nash didn’t reply further.

Both of them had their wounds bandaged by the doctor. Nina’s wound was just a shallow cut on the skin. She knew Xander hadn’t meant to kill her. It was all because of that woman’s instigation.

Soon, the police arrived at the hospital. In this incident, she was the victim. The police had solemn expressions as they delivered the heavy news: “Ms. Walker, I’m sorry to inform you that Mr. Xander Walker no longer shows any signs of life after the explosion.”

With such a loud explosion, it was unlikely he had survived. His body was probably burnt to a crisp. It was Nina’s first encounter with such a thing, so she couldn’t help but feel scared and regretful. Her uncle had kidnapped her, a crime that did not deserve death, yet he had paid such a heavy price in the end.

“I understand. Do you have any other findings?”

“The car was tampered with at the scene, causing fuel leakage…” The police recounted the whole sequence of events.

Xander, unaware of the fuel leakage,

was smoking in the car, which

ignited the explosion. At the time, they were all focused on escaping the danger and didn’t pay attention to that woman’s presence. She was probably trying to find a way to escape when Nash barged in, so she couldn’t have been caught.

But no one had expected the car to be tampered with. Apart from her, Nina didn’t know who else to suspect. Although she had not seen the woman, Nina had a suspect in mind. But without evidence, it was all based on her speculation. This was a serious and malicious incident, one that the authorities took seriously.

Nina was now haunted by shadows. Every time she closed her eyes, she felt consumed by flames, witnessing someone’s death right in front of her. Unlike the accident in middle school, this time the death was that of a relative. She was unsure

whether to feel grief or sadness; this person had once been alive.

Nina clenched her hands tightly, trying to suppress the fear within her. She didn’t want to witness another death.

Nash noticed her subtle movements. Though she appeared composed on the surface, he could sense her inner fear. She was pretending to be strong.

He glanced at Quincy, who promptly left. Soon, a bottle of milk appeared in front of Nina. When she looked up, she saw Nash watching her.

“Drink it,” he said calmly. Nina hesitated for a moment, then decided not to take it.

Nash continued in a neutral tone, “Remember when Scott mentioned at your place that you like to drink milk when you’re nervous or scared? You need it now to ease your emotions.” “You remember,” Nina was touched by his thoughtfulness.

“I remember everything about you,” Nash said as he unscrewed the bottle cap for her.

Nina looked at him, seeing his confidence, but he was mistaken. There were still many things he did not remember.
