CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 973

"Those things are in the past. Let's not dwell on them anymore," Nash said, noticing Nina's low spirits. "Now we're together as a family, and Orion's health is slowly improving. That's what matters most."

Mentioning Orion's recovery brought some comfort to Nina. Yes, instead of constantly revisiting painful memories, it was better to focus on the present.

The chicken broth was ready soon after, and as she was lost in thought, Nina absentmindedly reached out to grab the hot pot.

"Ah!" The searing heat made her quickly pull her hand back, and she pressed her fingers against her ear to cool them down.

"Are you okay?" Nash asked, rushing to check her injury.

As he leaned forward, Nina also looked up, and their lips brushed lightly against each other. The sensation was soft and warm.

For a moment, Nash relished the warmth of that accidental touch, wishing time would freeze, but his concern for Nina's injury quickly took over.

"It's nothing serious, just a little red and swollen," Nina said, showing him her hand. Her index finger was red, with a small blister forming at the tip.

Nash immediately pulled her over to the sink and turned on the faucet. "Keep it under the water for a while. I'll handle the rest."

He turned off the stove, carefully lifted the pot, and removed the lid, releasing a fragrant aroma that filled the kitchen.

He poured the broth into a bowl and carried it out of the kitchen, with Nina following after turning off the faucet.

As they walked, Nash brought up Pharaoh. "I know it's hard for you to accept having him as a father, and I respect your feelings. But Pharaoh is Orion’s grandfather, and that’s something we can’t change. Orion has the right to know..."

Nina fell silent. If her biological father were anyone else, she might have accepted it more easily. But her father was Pharaoh, a man with blood on his hands, known for his ruthless actions.
