Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1362

Nina looked at her forearm and began to smile. It was red and hurt a lot, but she did not cry.

The pain on her arm was nothing compared to the agony and depression that she had stored in her heart for the past few years. In fact, it made her feel alive.

The waitress opened the door to the private room and noticed that Nina was still sitting there. She asked, "Excuse me, Miss, may I take your order?"

Nina did not stand up. She spoke to the waitress without turning around. "Yes. Please give me the lunch set."

"Alright, coming right up," the waitress replied and closed the door. The noble woman had left earlier and paid the bill. She thought that the other woman would leave too, but instead, the woman ordered something to eat.

Nina remained motionless while sitting on the chair. When the waitress came into the room again with her food, she pointed at the mess on the floor. "I accidentally dropped this earlier. Please clean it up. If the cup is broken, add it to my bill, and I'll pay for it later."

The waitress looked at the mess on the floor and noticed that Nina's arm was red. She thought that it was not an accident.

In her mind, she had already made up a fantastical story. The young woman sitting in front of her must be the mistress of the noble woman's husband. That made the waitress look at Nina with contempt.

However, the waitress did not say anything because she was still on the job. Instead, she nodded and said, "Alright, I'll clean it up later. Enjoy your meal, Miss."

The waitress left the room and closed the door after that.

Nina looked at the food in front of her and picked up a fork. She ate the food in big bites, seemingly unperturbed by the pain in her arm.

Even though she did not feel hungry at all, she finished half of the plate. Then, she took the napkin and elegantly cleaned her mouth.

While she ate, the waitress did not come into the room to disturb her.

Nina stood up and looked at the teacup on the floor. It was chipped, like her heart.

She left the room and went to pay at the counter.

The cashier noticed that Nina's arm was scalded and said, "Miss, you ought to put some ointment on your arm. Otherwise, it might leave a scar."

"I'm fine." Nina left the restaurant after paying her bill.

She sighed to herself. Even though the restaurant staff did not say anything, she could notice that their reactions toward her were different from before.

'Looks like I can't eat here anymore,' she thought. 'It's a pity though. The food here is quite nice.'

Back at the company, Nina tried to cover the injury on her arm, but Sue happened to notice it. She grabbed Nina's arm and asked her, "Didn't you say that you went on a date? What happened to your arm? It's so red. Were you scalded?"

"Mm, it was an accident," Nina pulled her arm away and said softly. She did not feel happy that her friend was concerned about her, but instead, she felt as though nothing could change her mood, and she was nothing but a lingering phantom.

She knew that Sue thought that she went on a date with Percy, and she did not offer to explain herself.

"You're too careless… Was it you or Percy?" Sue felt sorry for Nina. The injury looked painful.

"It's my fault," Nina said.
