Actually, when she came in just now, Nina Sinclair heard what Sharon Lancaster said.
She saw Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster come over to show their concern, and combined with Sharon’s words, something vaguely emerged in her mind.
However, Nina’s silent demeanor, her dazed eyes, made it seem as if she was scared stiff.
She was wearing Julian Lancaster’s coat, so it was hard to see what was underneath, but seeing her gave everyone a bad premonition, increasing their worry. Sharon couldn’t help but want to cry out loud.
Sharon cried, "Nina, you... say something."
Receiving no response, Sharon looked at Julian Lancaster, her eyes questioning him about Nina’s condition.
What exactly happened to Nina?
Julian’s expression was cold and stern as he said, "Get the family doctor here immediately."
After saying this, he carried Nina upstairs.
They quickly entered a room, and Julian gently laid Nina on the bed. He looked at her with his brows tightly knitted, "Nina, are you okay? I’m sorry, I came too late..."
Slowly coming back to her senses, Nina saw Julian’s anxious demeanor and suddenly thought of something.
Could it be that he thought she had been... by Wayne Yarbrough?
Previously, Wayne did intend to do something bad to her. In a moment of desperation, she picked up something and stabbed Wayne, causing him to flee in fear due to her frenzied state.
Nina raised her crimson eyes to look at Julian. She simply looked at him without saying anything.
Seeing Nina’s eyes misty with tears, staring silently at him, Julian’s heart suddenly tightened.
He approached her and gently embraced Nina, softly soothing, "Nina, don’t be afraid, it’s all over now. The doctor will be here soon, and we’ll do a thorough check. Everything will get better, don’t be afraid..."
At this moment, Julian bitterly blamed himself for staying in Crestfall and not returning. If he hadn’t been accompanying Old Master Lancaster in Crestfall, Nina wouldn’t have suffered such harm; it was all his fault.
While Julian was feeling deep remorse, Nina quietly asked, "What if... what if Wayne had..."
"Don’t say anymore, it’s not your fault, and I will make sure he pays for this and avenge you."
Nina actually wanted to probe Julian to see what he would do if she had truly been tainted by Wayne.
After all, the last time it was just a misunderstanding on her part with Vincent, and Julian had always known it was him. But this time it’s different, and she wanted to know Julian’s attitude. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
Nina didn’t even know why she suddenly did such a pointless thing.
She believed no man would be indifferent to such a thing, even if she asked, it would be in vain.
"Actually, I didn’t..."
Before she could finish speaking, Julian interrupted her, his voice gentle, "Nina, no matter what happens, I’ll always be by your side. It’s entirely my fault; if I hadn’t asked you to come to the airport to pick me up, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened. Don’t carry any mental burden."
Nina was stunned, not expecting to hear such words from Julian.
She looked up at him, his eyes deep and dark, filled with a touch of tenderness and not a hint of pretense.
He wasn’t joking; he genuinely believed this.
Julian didn’t mind whether or not she had been tainted by Wayne!
