Nina pushed Nash away. "Go do what you need to do. As long as my child is alive..."

"Are you saying you don't want me anymore?"

Nash could not bear to hear the rest of her words. His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Nina, his gaze intense and full of emotion. The redness in his eyes spread, and layers of sorrow seemed to rise within him.

He knew that after being away for five years and suddenly reappearing, she would be angry and blame him. But he had no way to fight fate, no way to appear before her as the broken man he had been.
