Hearing this, Nash's expression finally changed, the words striking a nerve.

"Do you really have to bring this up?" Nash's tone grew colder.

"I'm saying this to minimize the harm to both of us."

Nash stared at her intensely, struggling to accept what she was saying. He had been trying hard to forget these unpleasant truths, yet she insisted on bringing them up. "Just get rid of the baby," he said.

"I don't want to."

Nash's lips tightened as he took a step back, offering a compromise. "I can give you time to think about it."

Nina looked up at him, her eyes firm. "There is no time left."

Nash pressed further, "Then tell me, whose child is it?"

"It's Zac's."

Nash's fists clenched with veins bulging on his forehead. He asked coldly. "Who is Zac? Does this person even exist, Nina?"

"He does," Nina said, her eyes locked with his. "I've told you before. He's my hero. He saved me."

A surge of heat rushed to Nash's head. He had heard this name countless times, but had never seen any evidence of this person.

His voice rose in anger. "What if this person never existed? If Zac is imaginary, how could he be part of your life? Have you been fooled and still thank the person who deceived you?"

Nina's heart tightened at his words, and she looked at Nash in shock. Her innocent eyes were filled with surprise and helplessness, as if striking at Nash's conscience.

For a moment, Nash felt a pang of guilt, not wanting to shatter Nina's dreams. If Zac was that important to her, how could he destroy her illusions?

"I don't know," Nash said softly. "I've never met your Zac."

Nina stood silent for a long time, her palms sweating. Why would he say Zac was imaginary?

But then he contradicted himself by saying he did not know.

Nina's grip loosened slightly as she lowered her eyes. "He's... in the military. It's hard for him to come back often. It's normal you haven't seen him." Nash's brows furrowed again. "A soldier?"

"Yes," Nina said softly. "He's a soldier."

Looking at her, Nash could see she was not lying. But he could not shake his suspicion. "What's Zac's full name? I have friends in the military. I can ask around." Nina's heart raced. "Why are you so curious?"

"You said he saved you, didn't you?" Nash said. "I want to see who this person is that you admire so much. If I'm going to lose, I want to lose knowing why." Nina had made it all up. There was no way she could produce someone out of thin air.

"He... he'll come back. When he does, you can meet him. There's no rush now."

Nash's frown deepened. She was still protecting this man. But something felt off. If this man existed, why couldn't he replace any trace of him?

Even if this man existed, he was a mystery. No one had ever seen him, not even her parents.

When did Nina become so reckless, getting pregnant with his child?

Nash fell into deep thought. There were only two possibilities.

Either this man was deceiving her with a fake name, or Nina was lying!
