All Novel Sweet
Chapter 48
"You're just in time. I've made some red raspberry leaf herbal tea for you too," Sally instructed the helper. "Hurry up and bring the tea for Nina."
Nina found it somewhat peculiar. With her mind solely focused on Miranda, why would she prepare tea for her?
However, Sally's gaze was fixed on Nina's stomach. "This tea has been used for centuries to support reproductive health in women. They say once you drink it, you might conceive."
As the helper brought the tea over, Nina took a sniff and immediately felt nauseated again. Her entire body was repulsed, prompting her to push it away. Take it away. I can't drink it."
Seeing her refusal, Sally's expression soured. Nina, what's wrong with you? This tea was specially prepared for you. Since your stomach's not cooperating; you need to drink to regulate it. Hurry up and drink it for me."
The helper presented the tea to Nina again.
The nauseating smell was unbearable for Nina. “I can't..." She rushed to the bathroom.
"Nina, you..." Sally, seeing her heading to the bathroom, grew angry. "Such incompetence! Is it so hard to drink? Don't want to drink it, huh? I bet you're just pretending!"
Nina's stomach was in turmoil, and she retched for quite some time without producing anything. After washing her face, she emerged.
Sally didn't press her to drink the tea again. Busy with visiting Miranda, she said, "You shouldn't go to the office today. Help me take these things to see Miranda. She's in the hospital, you know, probably Nash has already been to see her."
Hearing this, Nina pursed her lips. "I'll be late for work."
Sally looked at Nina, her lips "If you go to the company, you'll also be following Nash around. Who knows, maybe you'll bump into him at the hospital. It's on the way, after all"
This wasn't entirely untrue. She was Nash's wife and also his personal secretary.
In the end, she went with Sally. Sally brought a bunch of stuff, making the trip to the hospital seem more like a family visit. It was evident that she truly regarded Miranda as her daughter-in-law. Arriving at the hospital, Sally's eyes welled up as she entered the ward and choked out, "Miranda, my Miranda, why are you in such a pitiful state?"
"Sally." Miranda embraced Sally. Both of them had teary eyes.
Sally held her hand tightly. "You've lost weight, Miranda. It's only been a few days since we last met. How did you become so thin? Why would you do something like this?" S
"I'm fine now, Sally." Miranda's face still looked a bit haggard. "I won't do this again."
Sally expressed concern. "If you
have any problems, you can tell me. Don't do anything foolish again. If something happens to you, I'll be devastated. I was still hoping you'd marry Nash."
Miranda just shed tears without speaking.
Nina stood at the door of the ward, watching them have their
heart-to-heart talk. Their
relationship seemed so close; one would think they were mother and daughter.
Nina couldn't empathize; she just felt awkward standing there.
She also didn't see Nash around.
Seeing Nina there, Miranda wiped away her tears. Sally, I'd like some warm water."
Sally immediately instructed Nina, “Nina, go get some warm water for Miranda.”
Nina happened to not want to stay there any longer, so she went to fetch some warm water.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Near the water dispenser, Nina saw Miranda standing behind her through the mirror.
"Nina, you're just swallowing your pride to stay in the York family. Sally treats me like her daughter-in-law. So, what exactly are you in the York family?"
"I'm the legally recognized wife listed on Nash's marriage certificate," Nina replied calmly, unwilling to engage.
Miranda's expression changed, and she stopped
Nina. "Do you think Nash is reluctant to let you go? He's merely using you!"
