But Nina was unwilling, persistently reaching out her hand toward Zachary,


    At that moment, Zachary was still worried about Jane, and not being able to be by her side was already frustrating enough.


    Nina was the cause of it all, he returned to keep this child, not wanting to be continually threatened by her.


    "My patience is limited, Nina. It''s not that I can''t handle you, I just want you to have evidence that leaves you speechless. Don''t think you canpletely control me with this.'' Nina''s hand dropped, and with it fell her tears, her tremblingshes hiding the malice in her eyes.


    If it were Jane, he would never say such things.


    She had already learned that Jane was injured and had gone to the hospital, Frank had taken him away just now to see Jane.


    If she hadn''t used some tricks to call him back, that close care would have only intensified their feelings.


    At that point, if pushed too hard, Zachary might just decide to go down with her.


    "Julie, thank you for your help."


    "There''s no need to thank me, Miss." Julie helped Nina up and handed her a ss of water with a straw. "I was invited by the Collins family to take care of you and Mr. Collins."


    Nina bit the straw and took a couple of sips, smiling gently at Julie. "You''re being paid to work for the Collins family, but I shouldn''t take that for granted."


    Julie had been with the Collins family for many years and had watched Nina grow up. When they were younger, Nina and Zachary were practically inseparable.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    It was a pity that although the two children matched in every aspect, Nina''s background


    was too poor.


    Even though her grandfather had been with Sir Collins for so many years, Sir Collins treated her grandfather as family.


    But family was family.


    When the term "family" was bestowed, and when Reba acknowledged her as a daughter, it was clearly meant to cut off her hopes and suggest that she could not marry Zachary. Julie had feelings for Nina, she was always such a gentle girl.


    She treated the servants politely.


    Being thedy of the house was fine, but she was ultimately defeated by her background.


    "You''re still being polite, Miss. If you need anything, just call me. Mrs. Collins asked me to take care of you these days."


    "Okay."


    Nina nodded lightly.


    Julie retreated to the door.


    Zachary also turned to leave,


    Nina called out to him, "Zachary, can''t you even stay in the same space with me for a little while? Weren''t we fine before? Why have you changed so much during the years that I''ve been abroad?" Zacharyughed angrily


    How could she question him with such an innocent face?


    When she first returned, didn''t he prioritize her?


    He had done everything he could regarding her requests.


    Out of guilt, he had taken her out to have fun, fearing that her mood would affect her health.


    And what was the result?


    She had plotted against him.


    And it was ruthless.


    "Why don''t you ask yourself?"


    Nina forced a smile. "Zachary, if it weren''t for Jane, would you still be this angry in the same situation?"


    Zachary coldly replied, "There are no ifs."


    "I said before that I didn''t like you, I only cared for you because you were my sister. Nina, you are just imagining things."


    "I''m imagining things?" Ninaughed out loud "Zachary, don''t you also enjoy being with


    me?"


    "Everyone says you possess a maturity that doesn''t match your age, but when you''re with me, you smile more and don''t show the indifference you have towards outsiders. Why are you saying these things now?"
