After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 529

Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Reunion

"Assurances?"

Adrian Paige turned his head to look at Myra Lawson.

Myra Lawson nodded. "She isn’t just driven by profit. She just doesn’t want to work for nothing. I think it might have something to do with her past experiences.

As for what she wants, it could be a guarantee, or it could be Crystal Cores, supplies, or... status, something like that?"

Whatever Nina Jacobs wanted, she could afford to give.

In her opinion, what Nina Jacobs had done already far exceeded the value of anything she might ask for.

"Then that makes things simple."

With that, Adrian Paige walked toward Nina Jacobs, who had already come down.

’What makes things simple?’

Myra Lawson suspected Adrian Paige hadn’t understood a word she’d said, so she hurried after him.

Nina Jacobs looked quizzically at Adrian Paige, who was now blocking her path.

"What is it?" she asked.

"There are three more river channels like this one. I’ll give you Crystal Cores. Starting tomorrow, you’ll work for me."

As soon as Adrian Paige finished speaking, Myra Lawson, who had followed him, looked utterly exasperated.

She had heard rumors before that Adrian Paige had trouble understanding social nuances, and now she was seeing it firsthand.

Sure enough, Nina Jacobs answered without hesitation, "No."

Seeing that Adrian Paige was about to ask something else, Heath Chandler quickly cut him off.

"Nina just got back from training out in the field, and her family is waiting for her at the base. We can talk about this later."

Myra Lawson also chimed in, "Nina, I’ll have someone escort you and your friends back to the base first."

"Okay."

Nina Jacobs nodded in agreement. She really was tired.

Three consecutive days of intense exertion had made her long for rest like never before.

Wayne Warner and Ethan Young were also completely exhausted.

Nina Jacobs decided to take Nia and Ethan Young back to the base first and have them stay with the Stella team for the time being.

Meanwhile, although Vera Coleman was watching her twin daughters, her thoughts had long since drifted far away.

Her daughter, Nina Jacobs, knew about the current situation in City D Base, but she didn’t seem to have any plans to seek temporary refuge at another base.

Several days had passed. Nina would message her on time every evening, but she still couldn’t help but worry.

The sound of the door opening came from outside, and she could already hear Daniel Hale’s hearty laughter.

She hadn’t heard him laugh like that in a long time.

’Could it be good news?’

Vera Coleman walked out the door and froze on the spot.

"Mom, I’m back," Nina Jacobs said.

She had expected Vera Coleman to scold her, but after a moment of surprise, Vera’s face broke into a wide smile, her eyes glistening with moisture as she said,

"As long as you’re back, that’s all that matters. It’s too cold outside. Hurry and come in."

"Mm."

After returning home, Nina Jacobs found the room toasty warm. Although it was still cold enough to need a winter coat, it was a warm haven compared to the outside.

She immediately spotted two tiny figures sitting on the soft couch in the middle of the living room.

"They can sit up on their own now?"

Nina Jacobs said in surprise. When she left, Sabrina Hale and Leontine Hale had just turned one month old, but back then, all they did was sleep and drink milk.

She never expected that after more than three months, they would have already learned to sit up.

The two soft little bundles propped up their upper bodies with their chubby, segmented arms, their small torsos leaning slightly forward.

Two identical, pink, round little faces were tilted up, their black-grape-like eyes staring curiously at the newcomer.

"Da-da!"

"Da-da-da!"

Leontine Hale waved her chubby arms and babbled, her body tipping to the side now that she had lost the support of her arm. In the next second, Nina Jacobs had already caught her steadily.

GIGGLE GIGGLE GIGGLE...

Beside her, Sabrina Hale let out a giggle and then, like a roly-poly toy, toppled onto Nina Jacobs’s other hand.

The couch was covered with soft cushions, so the twins wouldn’t get hurt even if they fell. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
