Nina and Zoe were holding hands. At this moment, Zoe was very angry and had already cursed Nash numerous times.
Nina said, "Aunt Zoe, you still have me to keep youpany. You won''t be lonely."
"Back then, everyone wanted sons, but daughters are so much better. Daughters are more caring and affectionate. Look at Nash, the only child of our York family. He just keeps upsetting me. Now, he doesn''t even acknowledge me as his aunt." Zoeined, feeling her blood pressure rising at the thought.
Nina still tried tofort Zoe, "Perhaps Nash has some hidden troubles?"
"What hidden troubles!" Zoe snapped, her anger ring. "I don''t want to talk about him anymore. Every word feels like a stab in my heart. Let''s just go, the farther away from them, the better!"
She did not want to stay in the hospital any longer.
"I just asked the doctor. Deafness can also be artificially induced," Nina said.
Nina was still worried about Zoe. The inte was a breeding ground for gossip, and spreading rumors came at no cost. There were already rumors circting, ming Zoe for Miranda''s deafness. Theizens were ruthless in their criticism.
They needed to find the truth, then everything would fall into ce.
Zoe''s attention shifted again. "You suspect Miranda did it to herself?"
"My thought may be narrow-minded, but I do think so," Nina said. "However, I can''t understand why Miranda would be so ruthless to herself. Why would she do this?"
ording to the doctor, the chance of Miranda recovering her hearing was very slim. The cost was too high. If she were Miranda, she would never choose this path. And now, Miranda had also lost her memory.
"Maybe to gain sympathy," Zoe suggested.
"Why would she pay such a high price for deafness to gain sympathy? Wouldn''t other methods be better?" Nina asked.
Zoe also fell into contemtion. "You''re right, I can''t make sense of it either."
Scott arrived at the perfect moment to pick up Nina. Seeing Zoe grumbling, he greeted her kindly, "How are you, Aunt Zoe?" Zoe nced at Scott and asked, "And who might this be, Nina?"
"My friend, Scott," Nina introduced.
Zoe gave a meaningful look and remarked, "Seems like more than just friends."
"We''re just friends," Scott replied amiably.
Zoe patted Nina''s hand and said, "I won''t object anymore, Nina. Don''t sympathize with me just because I''m Nash''s aunt. Given his character, even if he were to marry multiple wives, they would still want to leave him Even I can''t stand him, let alone you. Just kick him away and let him regret it!"
Zoe was clearly angry with Nash, and her words were sharp and biting. She wished Nash would lose his wife right away!
Nina exined, "Aunt Zoe, it''s not asplicated as you think. Scott and I were ssmates in middle school."
"You guys have known each other
for many years, longer than you''ve known Nash," Zoe emphasized. "Scott, you drove here, didn''t you? Why don''t you give me and Nina a ride?"
"Sure," Scott agreed readily.
They did not know where to go yet. Nina''s apartment was not very secure, and she was worried about reporters or others finding them, which could be dangerous.
Zoe did not want to go back to her ce either. The vi was ultimately owned by the York family, and now, just hearing her own name made her feel disgusted.
She would rather stay far away. That way, she could at least be a little happier.
They had no destination, so Scott suggested, "Why note to my ce?"Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
Both Zoe and Nina looked at Scott.
He continued softly, "It''s safe there, you can trust me. No one will find you, and it''s spacious. Normally, no one lives there, so you won''t be disturbed."
While Nina remained silent, Zoe said, "Sure, Scott, you''re quite the friend. I''m considering you my friend now. You''ve helped me today, and if you need anything in the future, just ask. I won''t hesitate to help."
Scott replied, "Aunt Zoe, it''s just a small favor. You don''t need to worry about it."
