Quincy glanced at the sleeping Nash and continued, "Mr. York stayed by your side all night. I told him to get srest, but he insisted on staying with you. He only fell asleep in the morning." Nina felt a lump in her throat and hoarsely asked, "The child..." Quincy replied, "The child is safe. It was a close call, but luckily the child is fine. Otherwise, it will be over between you and Mr. York. The moment you went into the operating room, Mr. York was very concerned about you, as well as the child in your belly. He was afraid that if anything happened to the child, you would resent him!" Nina instinctively looked at Nash's face and asked, "Is that really what he thinks?" Quincy placed the items on the table and continued, "I wouldn't deceive you. Mr. York is genuinely worried about you. Even if the child isn't his or if he has considered terminating the pregnancy, he won't push you if you're unwilling. He's afraid of making mistakes that could irreversibly harm your relationship." Nina had many concerns. She did not tell Nash because she feared he would not accept her child. After all, he had warned her from the beginning. Once he becruthless, she would not stand a chance against him.

He's not unreasonable." "Can I really?" Nina still had doubts. She was afraid that if she told him, she would have no way out. Logic told her she should not spend too much ton a man.
"You and Mr. York are still not
divorced. You're husband and wife, and should be honest with eachm other. If Mr. York dan't do that, then I won't say anything more," Quincy also wanted to give Nash a chance. Nina moved slightly, and Nash immediately sensed it and woke up.
"Nina!" The first thing he did when he woke up was call her name. Seeing C Nina awake, his dark eyes seemed to ripple. "You're awake. Are you still in pain?"
Nina looked at him. His eyes were bloodshot, and he remained silent for a long time. "The doctor said you can eat when you wake up," Nash said, looking at the table, his voice hoarse. Nina did not answer but asked, "Nash, do you really worry about me?" X
