He felt a deep ache for Nina. These five years, she had braved countless dangers. From the moment he woke up and confirmed her location, he had been protecting her from the shadows.

It was not that he did not want to see her.

He could not and did not dare.

Nina did not want to hear his excuses. She laughed bitterly, "Yes, if I hadn't forced you, you would still be hiding from me. Nash, what am I to you?"

Nash cared for her, leaving her all his assets, ensuring she had a safe escape route. But Nash had left her alone for so many years. If he had just given her a bit of news, she would not have suffered so much, and she would not be breaking down like this now. Nash did not respond. It was not because he did not want to, but because he could not. His throat felt constricted, making it difficult to breathe or speak. He desperately wanted to hold Nina, but he did not dare, not until she had vented her emotions. "Nash, speak up! Don't play dumb here!" Nina gritted her teeth and repeated. Her eyes, bloodshot, locked onto Nash's, tears streaming down her face like a breached dam. She was falling apart.

Nash's breath hitched. Hearing footsteps, he quickly put his mask back on. He gripped Nina's shoulders, "Nina, it's not that I didn't want to find you. There are things I need to deal with first. Stay safe here. I'll come back for you once it's done." With those words, he did not even give Nina a hug before turning and walking away swiftly.
