As Nash shoved her, he also tapped the answer button. Nina was right next to him, so she could hear perfectly well.

"Nash, I'm so scared... Can you come? I feel like I've seen Linda again, ah—!"

"Beep beep!"

After Miranda's fearful scream, the phone emitted a busy tone.

Nash put away his phone and then spoke to the driver ahead, "Take me to the hospital first, then drop Nina off at Riverview Estate." His tone brooked no objections.

"Okay." The driver followed his instructions and changed the route. In less than forty minutes, the driver pulled up to the hospital entrance.

Nash looked at Nina sitting beside him and said calmly, "I'll be back later. When I come back, I hope to see you!" It was not a plea, but a command.

With that, he turned and walked away. The tall, aloof figure left a sharp sting in Nina's eyes, piercing her heart. But in an instant, she was already bloody and battered.

He got jealous when he saw her with other men. But what about him? Even though Miranda was his ex before Nina, and she held the place of his first love in his heart, Was it right for him not to maintain distance from other women while married?

He demanded her obedience without regard for her well-being. Where could one replace such a submissive woman? It was simply because she loved him with all her heart, without any reservation! "Madam, Mr. York instructed me to take you to Riverview Estate. If you get off now, won't that make it difficult for me?" Seeing Nina open the door and step out, the driver hurriedly caught up with her. Nina replied coldly, "You could say you could not stop me." There was no way she would stay at Riverview Estate.

Tonight, he was going to accompany Miranda, whether he would come back or not was still unknown. Why should she subject herself to such a lonely room?

"Then, may I come along with you, please?" The driver was on the verge of tears. He could not bring Nina back to Riverview Estate, and he would surely be in trouble if Nash found out Nina left on her own! Nina had a headache. "You don't need to follow me. I'm not a toddler who can't replace her way."

Thinking the driver would heed her words, Nina was surprised to still hear footsteps behind her.

Turning around, Nina said impatiently, "I understand you have your duties, but you can let Nash know I don't want to be followed. If you continue, I'll call for help!"

He trailed Nina for a few paces. It was nighttime, and if Nina did shout and draw attention, he wouldn't be able to defend himself, no matter how many excuses he had. The driver had no choice but to stand there and watch Nina walk away into the distance while he dialed Nash's number.

Nash had just arrived at the door of the hospital room. Seeing it was the driver calling, he answered.

"Mr. York, Madam won't let me take her back to Riverview Estate, nor will she let me follow."

Nash thought of Nina's stubborn figure and furrowed his brows involuntarily. "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Nash originally wanted to call Nina, but then he remembered that Nina did not take his words seriously. If he called now, Nina might not answer. He sent Nina a text message instead: [Don't make me come get you.]

"Nash?"

Before waiting for Nina's reply, the hospital room echoed with Miranda's uncertain voice, tinged with a hint of weakness.

Nash gripped his phone and pushed the door open. Miranda was dressed in a blue and white hospital gown, sitting weakly on the bed.

In her clear eyes, there was a glimmer of hope.
