Nina is in bed for more than a month. Her spirit is better.
Grace and Ryan leave her some money and they go on a tour of France. Well, Nina really doesn't want to see them now.
Although she knows Grace is good to her, she doesn't let her see her baby and deals with her. Nina can't accept it.
It's a fine day outside. Nina suddenly wants to go out. She seldom goes out after coming to Chicago.
Nina can't wear the clothes she wore when she was pregnant. Luckily Grace leaves a lot of clothes. Nina rummages for a long time and finds a less glamorous black dress.
She puts on the black dress and a ponytail. She puts on a scarf and a bag before going out.
The sky is blue. The streets are full of strangers. Nina suddenly finds herself homesick. In this season, flowers are blooming in city C. The air is full of faint fragrance of flowers.
How's dad? Has he recovered completely?
Andrew, how is he? Is he married?
And Lucien, what about him? Did he forget her long ago? A few months are enough to change a lot of things.
Her face is peaceful after healing with great wounds. Her white face is transparent in the afternoon sun. Her delicate facial features attract the attention of European and American people passing by. She is a typical oriental beauty.
Nina is also found by special paparazzi with a camera looking for Lucien's fiancee. She doesn't need to look very beautiful, but she must have a good temperament and look pure. The girl meets Grandpa Gray's requirements for Lucien's fiancee.
They take lots of pictures of Nina, but Nina who is sitting at the corner cafe doesn't even notice. She is immersed in the warm sunshine, and the wounds and sorrows seem to be fading. Her long lashes droop. Her peaceful expression is as beautiful as a painting.
"Master, how about these?" As soon as Lucien gets home, the housekeeper hands him a stack of photos.
Lucien glances casually and is bored. "No!"
The housekeeper says wrongly, "master, please have a look! These girls are your favorite type. You can choose!"
Lucien pulls off his tie and sits down on the sofa. He takes the picture and looks absently.
The pictures are all the beauties in the streets, shops and cafes. They can find her for him as soon as he likes. Chicago is the home of Gray Family.
This is Grandpa Gray's idea. Lucien frowns. Grandpa is really worried.
He flips around and throws the pictures on the short table in front of the sofa. A picture floats to his feet.
Lucien stoops to pick up the picture and freezes. In this picture, the girl with scarf and narrow eyes enjoying the sunshine and white face is Nina!
"Paul! Find this girl for me!" Lucien's deep voice trembles.
Nina! No wonder I can't find you in city C. You're in Chicago!
Nina is packing in the apartment. She wants to go home. Her baby is dead and she doesn't need to avoid Lucien. She's going home to accompany her father.
"Grace, can you tell me which hospital my father lives in? I want to go back to accompany him." Nina calls Grace.
Grace is having sex with Ryan. She is disturbed by Nina's call. She says angrily, "you don't need to accompany your father! He's already dead!"
Grace finishes and sees Ryan's eyes widen. She suddenly realizes that she has said something wrong!
Now that she has said it, she can tell her the truth! Anyway, she has $100 million now. Nina is useless now!
"Grace, what did you just say?" Nina doesn't believe her ears. Grace is a bit grumpy, but she can't talk nonsense!
"I said, your father Barry is dead!" Grace tells the truth. "Lucien knew you ran away and controlled your dad. He was not treated at all. He caused your father's death!"
Nina starts to have heartache. Her heart seems to be held tightly by a huge hand. Her voice is hoarse. "You said Lucien controlled my dad and didn't treat him?"
"Yes! I wanted to move your dad out, but Lucien kept a close watch on him! I didn't have a chance! I'm not to blame. Lucien is to blame!" Grace frames Lucien.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Nina's voice is shaking.
"You were pregnant. If I told you, you might miscarry!" Grace makes excuses for herself.
All Nina's hopes are gone! From now on she is really alone! She lives alone in the world. She has no family!
Nina's cell phone slips out of her hand. She feels a fishy smell in her throat. She covers her mouth and coughs. She sees blood on her hands.
Nina's face is pale and she's thin. She packs her luggage in a suitcase and looks around at the small apartment that leaves her too many memories of her injuries. She gets on the bus to the airport.
The airport is always busy. Nina looks around at the people who are reluctant to leave and feels a little more desolate. No one sends her and no one expects her to come. In this world, she has no family.
Nina drags her suitcase to the entrance.
"Miss, please wait a moment!" At the corner of the hall, two tall Chinese men in sunglasses and black windbreaker stop her.
"Who are you, please?" They are a little scary so she is alert.
"We're Lucien's people. Please come with us to see him." The white man says kindly.
"Lucien?" Nina suddenly has a bad feeling in her heart.
"Lucien." The darker man says coldly.
Her head seems to be splashed with ice water. Nina's cold all of a sudden! Lucien! He finds her in Chicago!
Run! Nina's first reaction is to run! She drags the box to the entrance!
The two men next to her seem to have expected. Nina's arms have long been gripped by two powerful hands. Before Nina can shout, a man's hand has covered her mouth.
He has a towel in his hand. The towel has a pungent smell. Nina faints.
The corner of the hall is out of the way. The surveillance can't get to this place. The two men are so tall that no one notices them.
Lucien is restlessly walking around the living room. Although Gray Family is powerful and it's not hard to find a girl, it's hard to say. The picture was taken a few days ago. What if Nina just comes here to travel? What if she has left Chicago?
"Young master! She's back!" The housekeeper respectfully reports.
"Bring her here!" Lucien's eyes are always cold and calm. There is excitement and anxiety in his eyes now.
The man in black comes with Nina in a coma. Lucien is furious when he sees her. "Put her down!"
The man in black is startled by Lucien's anger and quickly puts Nina on the sofa.
Damn it, why can't he bear to see other men touching Nina's body!
Lucien goes to the sofa and looks down at the little woman. He frowns.
Nina, why are you so thin! Her face, which was a little baby fat, becomes very thin. Her cheeks and chin are more charming. Her thin shoulder blades almost pierce her thin coat.
Nina seems to feel Lucien's blazing eyes. She moans and slowly opens her eyes.
She opens her eyes and stares at the man in front of her. Her little chest rises abruptly, as if trying to contain some emotion.
Lucien is also quietly watching Nina. This little woman is so thin!
"Nina, why are you like this!" Lucien jabs Nina's cheek with her fingers, disgusted.
Nina's pent up mood bursts out. She sits up on the sofa and slaps Lucien in the face!
Lucien is stunned! He is angry. He puts his arm around her waist and squeezes her sharp jaw with his other hand. "Nina, do you want to die?"
Nina's long-standing emotions burst out. She screams, "Lucien, you bastard! Get out of here!" She tries desperately to escape from Lucien.
"Nina! You're crazy!" Lucien holds Nina's hand. His joy at seeing her is all gone! He didn't expect her to slap him when they don't see each other for months!
Does she hate him so much?
