Nash's expression changed, and he added coldly, "Soon to be ex-wife!"

The doctor was momentarily taken aback by their responses but quickly continued, "The patient has a mild concussion and a fractured hand. She will recover with some rest. There's no need to worry too much."

Nina was relieved and immediately said, "Thank you, doctor."

"You're welcome."
