CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery
Chapter 992

Leaving Orion here was nothing but beneficial.

"I understand your thoughts. You believe that keeping the child with you will convince Dominic that you're genuinely unguarded. But remember, there's always a bigger fish," Pharaoh said quietly, his voice full of concern. "Don't forget, he's the president of Salterra. He wouldn't have gotten to where he is without being formidable."

Nina fell silent, realizing she had overlooked that fact.

"So, we'll leave Orion here for now, and Nash and I will go ahead."

"If all goes well, you can come back to get him. Nina, I just want to make up for everything I owe you. Even if it costs me my life, I won't let anything happen to him," Pharaoh said, his voice husky and resolute.

Nina's breath caught in her throat. She had seen the lengths Pharaoh had gone to for Orion.

"Father..." she whispered, reaching out to embrace him.

Pharaoh patted her shoulder gently. "Child, staying here with the Yaren Tribe would be the best choice for you. But I know your heart isn't here, and I can't force you to stay.

"Just take care of yourself. I can't bear to lose you..." His voice broke as he spoke.

When Nina had decided to become a war journalist, he had been vehemently against it, but it was Micah who eventually convinced him.

Nina was like a rose with thorns. Once she made up her mind, she would not back down for anyone. He could not convince her otherwise, so he had arranged for many people to protect her. Even in the safety of the Birkham military, with Micah there as well, they had not anticipated the lengths Dominic would go to.

When Pharaoh had believed that Seth had brought back his real daughter, he had been determined to teach her everything-shooting, combat, anything to compensate for lost time. He wanted to be both loving and strict.

When he later discovered it was all a lie, his first reaction was not anger but heartbreak for Nina. He had almost killed her and she was still out there, suffering.

"I know there are still things I need to do. I won't let myself die before they're done," Nina's voice was hoarse, choked with emotion.

After a long conversation, Pharaoh reluctantly left. Nina was not a child. She was in her thirties, capable of independent thought, and she had Nash by her side. Pharaoh knew he could not always be there for her. Once he left, Nash approached Nina.

"Have you packed everything?" Nash asked in a low voice.

"Yes," Nina replied. As soon as she spoke, Nash pulled her into his arms, gently stroking the back of her head. "Maybe I should just-"

"Nash, I've made up my mind, and you're still hesitating?" Nina cut him off sharply, already knowing what he was going to say.

Nash was worried about the uncertainties they might face. But Nina had already made a firm decision to stand by him no matter what, and she would not allow him to waver now.

"Okay," Nash sighed, his hand caressing her cheek. He could not resist the urge to cup her face and kiss her.

Nina's breath hitched, but she slowly responded. Their emotions overwhelmed them both.

Orion was an obedient and understanding child.

When Nina explained everything to him, he grasped it quickly.

Holding her hand, he looked up and said softly, "Mom, I'll be here... waiting for you..."
