After a long pause, Principal Wace turned his gaze to Nash, his shock giving way to confusion.


    He did not understand why Nash was so concerned about this matter. "Why are you suddenly so interested? Even if the kidnapped girl wasn''t Nina, why does it matter to you?"


    Principal Wace''s questions seemed genuine, not an attempt to hide anything or with any ill intent.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Nash''s sharp gaze rxed slightly, and he spoke in a calm tone. "I''m investigating something and came across this. I thought you could help rify. The girl who was kidnapped wasn''t Nina, but she believes it was her and even shares the same name. If there was no intentional effort to hide the truth, how could she have these memories?"


    Principal Wace''s expression kept changing.


    "Principal Wace, this happened at the school you managed. Can you provide an exnation?" Nash wanted a reasonable answer, suspecting there might be arger conspiracy.


    Principal Wace sighed deeply and sat up straight, ready to share what he knew. "I can''t give you all the answers, but I can tell you what I know."


    Nash''s eyes darkened with anticipation.


    Principal Wace picked up the photo and continued, "It''s true that Nina''s memories are confused. Coincidentally, the kidnapped girl had the same name as Nina. The reason for hiding it was to cooperate with her parents in an act."


    "Cooperate with her parents?" Nash asked, even more puzzled. "Why hide it?"


    "I''m not entirely sure. Nina was likely in high school at the time. Her parents begged me not to reveal the truth. They wanted everyone to treat her as if she was the kidnapped girl. As for why Nina''s memory is confused, I really don''t know," Principal Wace exined.


    "Weren''t they afraid Nina would find out she wasn''t the girl?" Nash pressed.


    "It happened a long time ago. News reports quickly get reced by new stories, and she wouldn''t have had a reason to investigate. For her, it''s a past she''d rather not remember, and her family wouldn''t let her discover the truth," Principal Wace said.


    Nina had never mentioned this


    incident. If it weren''t for Nash asking


    about Zac, Nina would not have told him. He would not have paid attention to the gunpoint story she


    mentioned. This series of questions led him to the discovery of


    Vina''s


    confused memory.


    So, did Zac, the person she mentioned, really exist?


    Nash''s ultimate goal was to find this person. He looked back at Principal Wace. "Was there ever anyone named Zac in her life?"


    Even if her memory was faulty, this person might still exist.


    Principal Wace thought carefully, then shook his head. "I don''t recall anyone by that name."


    Nash''s eyes narrowed, suspecting


    that Zac might be a figment of


    Nina''s imagination. Nina''s high


    school experiences seemed to include some troubling events her


    family wanted to keep from


    possibly to protect her from


    her,


    traumatic memories.


    Who was the father of her child? Could Nina have mistaken someone else for Zac, leading to her getting pregnant, trapped in a deceptive rtionship without realizing it?


    If that was the case, it was even worse.


    Regardless, her parents must know the truth. The mysterious summer Nina disappeared was highly suspicious.


    Satisfied that Principal Wace was being truthful, Nash nodded slightly. "Sorry to disturb you sote."


    Principal Wace quickly stood up. "No problem at all. I just don''t quite understand your rtionship with Nina. Why are you so concerned about her?"


    He had known Nina was his secretary but sensed there was more to it now.


    Nash looked directly at him and stated, "She is my wife."
