Chapter 1539

Luca stared at Nina. She looked upset when she was talking about this, and she even grabbed herhair.

These small actions of hers fully displayed how confused and upset she was.

Luca held her hand and said, “You’re not a mistress. You never were. Someone is doing this to you onpurpose.”

Nina gripped her hand and said, “Luca, do you know who that wicked person is? After I’ve decided todraw a line between Percy and me, he hasn’t come looking for me and I’ve always refused to meethim. Firstly, I’m not in a relationship with him. Secondly, I didn’t sleep with him. How did I become anunethical woman like what they said… They just keep spreading the rumors around. Do they want medead?”

Luca comforted Nina as she listened to her slightly agitated tone. “Nina, you’ve told me before that youmust stay strong when others are trying to make you fall. You can only win when you’re unbeatable.Don’t let them get away with it. You didn’t do anything. It’s not your fault. So, you don’t have to questionyourself. It’s up to them how they’re going to spread the rumors. You’re still you, right?”

Nina looked at her. She had said something like this before, but she had never said it to Luca…

However, she did not overthink it at this moment. “Yes, I can’t die. I shouldn’t let them get away with it.Those people will be gloating over my death if I died. Then the rumors of me being a mistress will sparkeven more. I can’t die. I mustn’t die.”

Luca was surprised when she heard Nina saying so. What she unconsciously said had somehowrevealed that Nina had thought of dying because of this…

Luca clasped Nina’s hand tightly and said, “Yes, you can’t let them get away with this. Don’t worry, I’llhelp you to find out who started such a ridiculous rumor!”

“Luca, please help me. You’re the only person who’s helping me…” Nina felt her heart break for asecond. Although she did not feel better after pouring her heart out, when she heard someone waswilling to help her without hesitation, she realized she was not alone. She had someone who could helpher!

Luca grabbed a tissue for Nina when she saw her tears come streaming down. She wiped her facegently. “Yes, I’ll help you. And I believe you’re not such a person.”

Nina sniffed and took a sip of coffee to calm herself down.

Luca could see how badly she was affected, and she wondered if this had anything to do with Percy.

Although Percy refused to let go of Nina, he was probably dissatisfied that Nina had left. However, hewas not a silly man. He would not involve the woman he cared about in such big trouble like this.

After all the years they spent together, he must know that Nina was a vulnerable person. How would helet her get into such a situation and make her break down?

Moreover, even though Percy did not say anything, she could tell from the way he spoke to Luke thathe must be planning something for the future. Hence, the person who was spreading this fake newswas probably someone else.

This person must be someone who knew about what had happened between Percy and Nina in thepast. The only person Luca could think of was Pierre. This man had been trying to win her over afterknowing Nina had broken up with Percy.

She asked, “Did they harass you at your door?”

“Yes.” Nina nodded. “They’d come to harass me when I’m going to work or when I just get back fromwork. But the district’s security is good. They’re only able to harass me for a while at the district’sentrance. It’s not affecting my life too badly but with them messing around like that, the people in thedistrict will know that a mistress is staying there.”

She was a very sensitive person. Many people would have a prejudice against her because of thatfalse label.

Luca pounded on the table and said angrily, “That’s too much. Nina, do you want to move to myapartment first?”novelbin

Nina was grateful that Luca invited her over, but she could not accept the offer. Although Luca wasdoing it for her own good, the apartment was Luke’s, after all.

“It’s alright. I’ve gotten used to it.” Nina sniffed. She had tossed out some negativity. With Luca beinghere to listen to her, she felt much better now.

Luca caressed Nina’s hand as she felt sorry for her.

Nina looked like she had lost some weight after Luca did not see her for a couple of days. Her fingerswere scrawny, and they were no longer beautiful.

She thought Nina would be living a wonderful life after she left Percy. She did not expect her to fall intothe abyss. No one would be able to hear you no matter how hard you screamed in the abyss.

Nina should not be in a state like this…

She was supposed to live a wonderful life…

Luca vowed that she would hunt down the person who was spreading the rumors indiscriminately.

“Is there something else?” she asked.

“My mother’s condition deteriorated. The doctor said the imported medicine isn’t working on her. They’llneed to perform another liver transplant. The liver donor will probably be my brother again.” Nina wascalmer when she talked about this.

“She’ll be alright. Medical technology is so advanced nowadays.” Luca comforted her, thinking that shewas probably worried about Anna’s condition.

Nina shook her head and said, “Do you know why my mother had a relapse? I just found out about it afew days ago. Come to think of it, it’s ridiculous.”

“What happened?” Luca looked at the bitter smile on Nina’s face. She could sense that there must besomething wrong.

“My mom gave all the money that’s meant to buy the medicine to my brother. She hasn’t even beentaking medicine these few years, and that’s why her body is rejecting the transplant. I just got to knowthat’s the reason why she’s sick this time. It’s all because of that! Luca, isn’t this ridiculous?”

Luca fell silent when she listened to Nina.

Anna had always been patriarchal, and Luca knew exactly how much she had done for Jean.

However, not even taking the transplant medications because of Jean… Now, she was sick again…

Luca felt sorry for Nina. Why was she born into such a family…

“Other than providing for her monthly living expenses, I even gave her the money for the medications.But she didn’t even take them because of Jean. Luca, do you know how much hatred I harbor withinme? I’ve been thinking that everything will be over if the operation fails, then I’ll feel much more

relieved too. But I feel guilty whenever I think so. No matter what, she’s my mother. How can I want herdead?” Nina smiled as she spoke, but her voice was trembling.

“But I was really hoping that all these endless problems will be solved that way. I don’t have to beresponsible for her after she’s dead. And I don’t have to take up the responsibility of having to take careof that immature brother of mine either…”
