Nina could feel Orion gently tugging at her hand. He wanted her to keep him.
"If that's the case, we'll prepare the necessary documents for you. If his family doesn't cforward, you can take him back to register for school in our country." "Alright." Nina nodded and waited at the embassy with Orion. The paperwork took only a few minutes. As they stepped out of the embassy, the sunlight cast long shadows of their intertwined figures on the ground.
For a moment, Nina felt a pang of longing. If her own son were here, she would be holding his hand just like this. And her son would be around Orion's age now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThinking of her child, a wave of sadness washed over her. Even now, Nash still had not told her where their child was. Unable to contain herself, she called Nash.
The phone rang for a long time, and just as Nina thought no one would answer, she heard Nash's voice.
"Nina." He spoke her name. Clearly, he could take her calls, but since that day, he had not said a word.
Nina spoke in a low, firm tone, "I don't know what your plans are, and I don't care anymore. Nash, you have your own mission and stance, and I shouldn't be angry with you. But you need to tellwhere our child is. I'm his mother and I have the right to know." She had only seen her child once, briefly, and then never again. She wanted to adopt Orion because, as a mother, she felt for these children with nowhere to go.
"I understand, Nina. I hope you're doing well. As for our child..." "Are you going to tellthat our child is dead?" Nina's breath caught.
But Nash did not answer, and the call ended.
The busy signal droned in Nina's ear, and she felt a surge of anger. Every time, at the critical moment, the call was cut off. Every time, Nasaft her without answers.
She decided not to rely on Nash anymore. She would investigate on her own.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMicah was still in Salterra and learned of Nina's plan to adopt Orion and her investigation into Nash's and her child.
He approached her with a serious tone, "You don't need to do all this on your own. I'm here for you. If you're worried about owing me, haven't we already established that our felationship goes beyond that?" Micah had always been there to help her.
Nina understood what he meant, but she preferred to handle it herself After all anyone could leave, but she En could always rely on herself. "You have your own matters to attend to, and I can manage this."
"Nina, think about it. If your child is still alive, why wouldn't Nash tell you ere he is? If he had a compelling reason, he would have told you by now." Nina knew Micah's words made sense.
But she needed the truth! She had to know!
Yet, before she could uncover the truth, something happened to her. X
