"Alright," Wilfred said, watching Nina as she left.

Nina pedaled her bicycle towards the city center, not far from her home. Nash had left her the most valuable property. It was a busy time, and she stopped at a red light, waiting to cross the street. When the light turned green, she pushed her bicycle across the street. Suddenly, a young man offered, "Let me help you."

Nina glanced back and saw a young man pushing her bicycle from behind, seemingly noticing that she was pregnant and might be struggling.

Today, she was dressed casually, with her hair in a braid, wearing a straw hat, and a loose dress that revealed a slight baby bump. Apart from her outfit, there was little to indicate she was pregnant. She was not weak enough to need help, but not wanting to waste his goodwill, she said, "Thank you."

Once she crossed the street, the young man headed in the opposite direction. She continued riding her bicycle along the non-motorized vehicle lane.

For some reason, she noticed that the road she was on had very few cars, almost none. Looking at the opposite lane, there was a steady stream of electric scooters and bicycles passing by. Her path, however, was completely clear.

Entering the store, she approached the owner, a man with glasses, in his fifties. He was of average height and somewhat chubby.
