Chapter 27

Upon hearing what Nina said, Nash's face turned extremely pale, and a heavy sensation weighed on his chest.

He got up, ignoring Nina's crying, and stood solemnly by the window, lighting up a cigarette and puffing away. Smoke lingered, and the air turned icy cold. After finishing the cigarette, he left the bedroom without returning.

The next day, Nina woke up with a severe headache. As she rose from bed, she held her head, feeling it heavier than her feet. Pouring herself a glass of water, she tried to sober up. Heading to the bathroom to freshen up, she noticed her swollen eyes, indicating that last night wasn't peaceful.

She remembered Nash bringing her back home, but there were no signs of him having moved, suggesting he didn't sleep beside her. However, she recalled him taking care of her for a long time. It was the firs time he had been so caring

towards her.

downstairs to find that Nash wasn't there. She asked the helper, "Where did Nash go?"

The helper replied, "Mr. York left early this morning."
