CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 986

But as a mother, how could she just stand by and watch her child undergo surgery?

Nina shook her head. "I can’t go into the operating room. I… Nash, I’m really scared…”

"I know. I understand," Nash replied gently. "But, Nina, our Orion has already been through so much. That tiny chance of something going wrong won’t happen to him. And trust in our father’s skill, okay?"

"Yes, Nina, and I’ll be there too, assisting Pharaoh." Wilfred chimed in, trying to reassure her, though seeing them together pained him.

His priority, however, was Nina’s well-being. He would do everything in his power to ensure Orion’s surgery went smoothly.

Nina felt a wave of warmth in her eyes. From the time she was poisoned until now, Wilfred had been by her side. She was deeply touched.

She gently released Nash’s hand. "I’d like to talk to Wilfred for a moment."

"I’ll go check on Orion then," Nash said, tenderly brushing a hand over Nina’s hair.

He had wanted to kiss her, but with Wilfred there, he understood the unspoken feelings Wilfred harbored.

Nash knew that he and Nina had a lifetime ahead for moments of intimacy, while Wilfred and Nina only had these brief conversations.

Kissing her in front of Wilfred would feel like staking a claim. Something he did not want to do to a friend.

Nina was not worried about Wilfred affecting her. She was worried he might end up holding himself back because of her. They weren’t getting any younger, and life did not have room for endless delays.

Wilfred’s throat tightened at her words, as if a sharp blade had just pierced his heart. It left him feeling shattered, bleeding internally.

If he refused, it would seem he still harbored feelings for her. But if he agreed, Nina would really go through with it.

"Nina, I appreciate you thinking of me. I understand, but please respect my wishes. I’m not interested in blind dates," Wilfred said slowly, with a tight smile.

He was not angry but he genuinely disliked the idea of arranged meetings.
