At that moment, she felt like she had lost everything. No one would be by her side.

Nina returned to the hospital.

By this time, Zoe had woken up. She looked tired, lying motionless on the hospital bed.

"Aunt Zoe," Nina called softly, carrying several bags.

Zoe turned her head and smiled, "Nina, it's you."

"How are you feeling? Any better?" Nina asked. "If you're uncomfortable, let me know."

Zoe glanced at Nash standing behind Nina and hesitated before saying, "The pain is still there, but it's manageable. Don't worry, I'll be fine in a couple of days." Nina nodded, acknowledging her words.

"Nash," Zoe turned her gaze to Nash, feeling a bit guilty about what happened at the cemetery. "I'm sorry, I spoke without thinking. Don't take it to heart."

Although she was angry with Nash, she felt she had said too much, which could have affected him.

Nash looked at Zoe and said in a low voice, "It's in the past. Don't dwell on it."

Zoe sighed, her face filled with sorrow. "It must have been hard for you, growing up in such an environment. Besides me and your grandfather, who really cared about you? I couldn't take care of you, and you had to live under someone else's roof, suffering. I feel for you. If you hadn't been part of our family, your life would have been better."

"Life is fine now," Nash replied. "I don't feel like I've suffered. Zoe, you need to take care of your health."

"I know, I will get better." Zoe held Nina's and Nash's hands. "My biggest wish is for you two to be well, take good care of the child, and look after Nina."

She glanced at Nina's belly. "Before my grandchild is born, I won't be at ease. Nash, you must protect Nina."

Nash held Zoe's hand. "Don't worry."

"Don't be too concerned," Nina added, "I will take care of myself."

"I don't know why, but I've been feeling anxious," Zoe confessed. Since her fall, she had been constantly worried about their well-being.

"Get some more rest," Nash suggested.

Zoe nodded. Perhaps it was her age that made her worry so much.

Nina stayed with Zoe for a while longer. Seeing that she was doing well, Nina felt reassured and left the room.

Nash followed her out and called, "Nina."

She turned, "Yes?"

Nash's gaze was intense. "Stay out of Miranda's affairs."

Nina looked at him and asked, "Are you worried about Miranda, or are you worried about the impact on your company?"

"There are many things you don't understand," Nash said. "I don't want you to get involved and get hurt."

Nina hesitated but then said, "I'm not a child anymore. I know what I'm doing, and I will take responsibility for my decisions. The same goes for Miranda."

Nash frowned. "Nina..."

"Nina." At that moment, Scott arrived to pick her up, interrupting their conversation.

Nina glanced at Scott and then back at Nash. "I have to go. Take care of Aunt Zoe."

Nash's expression turned serious when he saw Scott arriving to pick up Nina. "Are you and Scott that close now?"

Nina replied, "I don't have a car. Scott is just giving me a ride."

"What about the car I gave you?" Nash asked.
