Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 713

Bianca noticed the change in Nina's expression and realized that she should not have asked that question.

"I'm sorry, Nina, I… I shouldn't have asked that. Did Percy threaten you?" She said, a little flustered.

She knew what happened to Nina. That b*stard Pierre had ruined her.

Unfortunately, Percy was Pierre's elder brother.

It was a complicated relationship.

Nina stood at the window and stared at the sun outside. The golden sun rays caused her eyes to hurt.

She tried to fight the agony in her heart and spoke gently, "It's nothing. There are certain things in our lives that we can't control. I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. I'm immune to a man's charms now. After what happened to me, the defenses around my heart are like iron walls, and I'm a better judge of character now. I won't get hurt that easily."

"I'm sorry. If I hadn't…" Bianca felt even guiltier than ever.

If not for her, Nina might have still been that cheerful and outgoing girl.

Nina pretended to glare angrily at her and pinched her arm. "Hey, it's already been so long in the past. Why do you have to mention it? I've almost forgotten about it, and thanks to you, those wounds have become fresh again!"

Bianca was her best friend. Nina would not blame her.

Moreover, she was the one who came up with the plan of following Xavier to find evidence for Bianca.

She was unfortunate to have met with Pierre, that wretch. It had nothing to do with Bianca.

Moreover, Mr. Crawford had given her two million dollars as compensation after he found out what happened to her. Nina was already quite grateful for that.

Later, when Bianca became the CEO of T Corporation, she had always helped Nina at work. Putting it in another way, Nina had benefited a lot from their friendship.

To Nina, Bianca was already very kind to her. If Bianca continued to feel guilty, Nina would be pressured too.

Bianca stared at Nina. She knew that Nina did not want her to feel guilty.

She reached out and grabbed Nina's icy fingers. "You have to tell me if you have any difficulties. I might not be able to protect you from everything, but I'll help you wherever I can. This is my eternal promise to you, Nina."

Nina hugged Bianca and said softly, "You're too nice to me, Bea. I'm grateful for that."

…

In the late afternoon, Percy's bodyguards brought Nina away.

Bianca sat in the living room and slowly exhaled. She felt that the atmosphere was stifling.

The air was warm, but she felt as though her body was covered in crushed ice.

She could not help but think of Nina's ordeal. How could the kind and down-to-earth Nina suffer such bad luck? Why must Percy be the one to fall in love with her? She would rather that man be anyone else in the world!

She saw that it was from her aunt and quickly answered it. "Hello, Aunt Wanda?"

"When are you coming back, Bea?" On the other end of the call, Wanda sounded like she was crying.

Bianca's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong, Aunt Wanda? Why… why are you crying?"

Wanda tried her best to remain composed as she spoke, "Please come back quickly, Bea… Your Grandpa fell down and suffered a concussion. He's in the hospital now, but the doctor said that he might not last for long… Your Grandpa wants to see you for one last time… when will you be back?"

The news struck Bianca like a bolt out of the blue!

"That can't be, Aunt Wanda. I called Grandpa a few days ago, and he was still fine. How… how did that happen? Isn't there a caretaker at home to take care of him?"

When Bianca called her grandfather a few days ago, he had just finished line-dancing with the other elderly people in the neighborhood. He was very happy to pick up her call, and he had told her that he had been eating a lot lately.

Bianca did not expect an accident to befall Old Master Rayne so suddenly!

Wanda took in a deep breath and sighed. "It's a long story, and I can't explain it to you over the phone. Your Grandpa is still in the operating theater, and we don't know if he can live to see tomorrow. When can you come back? Please come back and visit your Grandpa. No one knows how long he has to live…"

Bianca closed her eyes and turned her head to face the ceiling so that tears would not flow. "I'll be back soon, Aunt Wanda. Please take good care of Grandpa!"

No matter how difficult it might be, she had to go back to visit Old Master Rayne on time. Perhaps that would be the last time they meet…
