The woman still looked hopeful. "Then when can I come back tomorrow to see him?"
"I'm not sure about that," the guard replied.
Now she felt a bit disappointed. Yesterday, she had managed to see him and even shared a meal with the group, but today he was nowhere to be found.
Maybe she had come too late. Perhaps if she arrived earlier tomorrow, she would have better luck.
Just then, James walked by, still mulling over whether Nash was using the woman he had seen as a stand-in for someone else.
He muttered to himself, "It shouldn't be, right? Preparing a hot bath for her? Captain wouldn't be this nice to just any woman, it's not ethical. But then, Captain isn't that kind of person."
He was trying to reassure himself, knowing Nash's deep affection for Nina. It did not seem likely he would use someone as a stand-in. But on the other hand, since Nash and Nina were divorced, he wouldn't have to worry about ethics.
As James muttered to himself, the woman, Chana, looked up and saw him. She had heard bits and pieces of his self-talk.
"James!" she called out.
James turned and saw the woman they had rescued during their journey. Her name was Chana. They had saved many refugees in the area, but Chana's situation was unique.
Her husband, a citizen of Birkham, had passed away, leaving her to care for their five-year-old child. She wanted to reach the border to find her husband's family. Normally, they wouldn't have taken her along, but she was often bullied and underfed in the refugee camps.
Her husband's dying wish was for her and their child to be taken back to his country, where his parents would look after them. So, they decided to take her along and escort her to the border.

Can you add more chapters per day please...
Don't tell me 🤯 Is Nina pharaoh's daughter?...
Meanwhile why is Nina playing hard to get? What else does she want from the man? I bet if Nash ever declares to kove the baby unconditionally she might soften up but lady just spill the secret he would be overjoyed!...
I see you increased the number of chapters per day by 2, but please can we have like 20 chapters per day? 7 chapters is too little, the suspense is just crazy...
