CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 970

But it was impossible.

Wilfred quickly snapped out of his thoughts and returned to reality. He knew he could never be Nash. He was Wilfred.

Even if he could not stand by Nina’s side as a lover, he could be a friend, a brother. He had dedicated his life to her, and that would have to be enough.

......

When Nash returned to the bedroom with the medicine, Nina had already finished her bath. Her damp hair fell loosely around her shoulders, filling the room with a faint scent of roses.

Nash quickly wrapped a towel around her hair. "Lower your clothes a bit so I can apply the medicine."

"Okay," Nina complied, and Nash carefully began applying the ointment, his touch gentle.

He even blew softly on her skin to ease any sting from the medicine. He was so worried that the medication might irritate her wounds, that she might feel pain.

But in truth, this kind of pain was nothing to Nina. She recalled her early days as a war journalist, how clumsy she had been amid the chaos of war.

Once, a piece of rebar had pierced right through her foot. The doctors said it would take six months to heal, but after just over three months, she was back on the front lines. Since then, she had become almost immune to minor pain.

She had learned that once you’re in a war zone, there’s no room for tears over small things.

"Nina, I’m sorry... for leaving you alone all these years," Nash's eyes welled up with tears, but he held them back, afraid that they might fall onto her back.

Tears that were bitter, tasting of salt.

Nina felt a lump in her throat.

She understood Nash. If he had not been restricted, he would have been there with her, unwavering, just as he was now.
