"No need," Nina said. "I'll drive myself. If you're busy, go ahead and attend to your matters. I'll come by another day to apologize."

"Don't be so formal," Leonard replied. "This beating wasn't in vain. I believe in your abilities, and I'm sure they'll bring me greater benefits!"

After treating his injuries, Leonard bid farewell to Nina and left early. Once he got into the car, he messaged Scott. "Do you know Nina is pregnant?" Scott was at home, looking disheveled and casually dressed. He glanced at the message, his hand hesitating for a moment. "I didn't know," he replied. Leonard was surprised. "Well, your path just got harder. Nina is carrying someone else's child. Looks like she's fallen for someone else. How do you plan to win her over?" Scott's expression changed several times before he finally responded with resignation. "If she's happy, then I'll offer my blessings... but only if she's genuinely happy." "But she's pregnant now, and judging by her current state, she doesn't want the child's father anymore. Do you want to be a stepfather?" Leonard inquired. Scott replied, "If I get the chance, that would be good."

Leonard could not help but admire Scott. "You're quite something. Among us, you're the last one still holding onto such deep feelings for her after all these years!" Scott sighed and sank into the sofa. For him, it was a tough ordeal. Every day and night was filled with worry. On one hand, he fretted that Nina liked someone else, and on the other, he worried he was not worthy of her.

All he wanted was simple. It was for Nina to be happy. He did not expect her to love him back. He only hoped she found someone to rely on and enjoyed a happy marriage.

At the moment, it did not seem so. Yet he still held on to hope. Just then, the doorbell rang. Scott put away his phone without replying to Leonard and went to answer the door. "Hey!" The door swung open, revealing an excited girl standing there.
