Nina couldn’t help marveling at the hospital’s service.She hadn’t even said anything, yet they had somehow customized the meals according to personal preferences.Halfway through dinner, Jane arrived.When Jane had asked for the address earlier, Nina hadn’t wanted her to come. She knew it would be exhausting for her.But Jane had insisted, and Nina couldn’t talk her out of it.Megan was delighted to see Jane.She didn’t know what had happened between Jane and Nina. All she knew was that she hadn’t seen Jane in years, so seeing her again made her especially warm and affectionate.Jane and Nina stayed with Megan through dinner and chatted with her for a while.When Nina noticed Jane was about to steer the conversation toward James, she quickly found an excuse and pulled her out of the room.Once they were outside, Nina told Jane about Megan’s illness, her hospitalization, and her own plans to resign from Gibson Corporation.Sure enough, after Jane heard everything, she scolded

Nina understood now.Falling in love with James had been the beginning of everything she had suffered.Between all the humiliation from the past and what was happening now, Nina was simply tired of it all.She looked coldly at the two men tag-teaming their insults and said flatly, “Are you done?”The moment the words left her mouth, everyone froze.None of them had expected Nina to speak up, much less talk back.After all, this had happened plenty of times before, and every single time, she had swallowed it without a word.What had gotten into her today?For a moment, the atmosphere turned awkward.Simon was the first to react. “What did you say?”“You heard me,” Nina snapped. “Or was that too hard for you to understand?”“Say that again.”Being called out in front of Yvonne embarrassed Simon, and his tone immediately turned vicious.Nina found him annoying and had no intention of wasting another word on him.She turned to leave.But just as she took a step forward, a le

After being called out, the woman’s face twisted with anger.She grabbed a cup of milk tea from the desk and threw it straight at Nina.Nina lifted her bag to block it.The scalding liquid, along with all the sticky toppings inside, splattered across her bag.Her expression turned cold.She tossed the bag onto the desk.“Clean it.”“What did you say?” The woman looked at her in disbelief. “Who do you think you are? And what if I don’t?”“Then you’re not leaving today.”They were still locked in a standoff when a clear sound of footsteps came from outside.The crisp click of high heels against marble.A graceful figure soon appeared in everyone’s line of sight.It was Yvonne.Nina didn’t know how Yvonne had managed to show up so quickly.She had clearly been with James and the others just a moment ago.Nor did Nina know how Yvonne had found this exact spot so precisely.But she did know one thing.Yvonne’s appearance here was definitely no coincidence.Sure enough, in

After leaving Gibson Corporation, Nina went to Harbor Care Hospital first.When she arrived, it was just in time for dinner.A nurse was patiently feeding Megan.The meal was light, balanced, and clearly planned with care.Megan was currently undergoing chemotherapy, so she was constantly tired and drowsy.But she hadn’t lost much weight, which showed how much effort the medical staff had put into taking care of her.When the nurses saw Nina arrive, they immediately asked whether she had eaten.After learning that she hadn’t, they quickly prepared dinner for her too.It was still all of Nina’s favorite food and fruit.She hadn’t eaten a single bite since noon, and her body had felt cold all day.Only after taking that first bite did she finally feel as if she had come back to life.Before coming here, Nina had never imagined that a hospital’s service could be this good.Of course, all of this was thanks to Mr. Carter.She was truly grateful that, when she was at her most h

Susan turned her gaze to Nina.“Look at Yvonne. She’s about your age, but the two of you are worlds apart. You should learn from her.”“That’s enough. Why do you have so much to say?” Wilma shot her a glare before turning back to Nina. “What happened to your leg? I noticed you weren’t walking right just now. Did you fall?”“It’s nothing,” Nina said, shaking her head. “I bumped it by accident. It’s not serious.”Even though Nina said that, Wilma still turned her gaze to James.“James, you should pay more attention to Nina. Don’t always put your energy elsewhere. You’re her husband. You need to take responsibility as a man.”When she said that, James was holding Liam and talking to Yvonne.For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent.Everyone looked a little awkward.Mr. Gibson Sr. had passed away early, and Wilma had been the one managing the family business for years, so she had always held great authority within the family.Even though she had stepped back in recent years becau
